** Joe Barbera and Doug Wildey (creator of WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest!) both wanted to have the series be more true to the original film's dark tone by setting the series after the events of ''Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain'', but NBC would only allow them to create a more family-friendly one.

* AccidentallyCorrectZoology: The Time Dragon (which closely resembles a TyrannosaurusRex) is depicted with two-fingered hands rather than three as was common at the time. Although at least one paleontologist had speculated this as early as 1914, it wasn't confirmed that T. rex had just two fingers until 1989, more than a decade after the episode first aired.

*** Apparently, Hanna-Barbera were unable to use Godzilla's trademark roar. This sounds ''truly bizarre'' considering that H-B secured the rights from Toho to have their character in an animated adaptation, but not the sounds he makes. H-B were forced to cast Ted Cassidy to voice the character instead. There was an UrbanLegendOfZelda for years that Godzilla's roar was present in the series' Japanese dub.

** Then we get into the dealings with Toho where Hanna Barbera learned why there's the old saying, "the only thing scarier than Godzilla are his lawyers." If accounts are to be believed, Barbera and the HB staff were probably just as confused then as the tropers are reading about it.

** As a another point here, this show in itself apparently had a strange legal arrangment. As for many years Creator/CartoonNetwork kept the show in circulation. As they had gotten the rights to it from the purchase of Hanna Barbera. But that license ended after 25 years and reverted back to Toho, who now owns the entire show. So they are the ones calling the shots of why the show is not out on dvd or on tv.
