- All-Star Cast: Including several members of Damon Wayan's family, major African-American actors such as T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh, John Witherspoon, and Gary Coleman are a part of the recurring cast.
- Dueling Shows: With C-Bear and Jamal (A hip-hop / African-American influenced series that aired on rival block, Fox Kids), Hey Arnold! (Nickelodeon's then-new series about life in a New York-esque city), and Bobby's World (a series created by a comedian featuring the daily life of a young boy that also aired on Fox Kids).
- International Coproduction: Between Warner Bros. Animation in the States and Nelvana in Canada.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: Finally averted, as it's now available to purchase digitally through Amazon on April 2021. The show was never released on VHS during its initial run and never saw a DVD release like all of Kids' WB's other shows. The real emphasis on the show's obscurity was that it was rare to even find clips of the series on YouTube that weren't promos for the show, nor was it available on any other video sharing websites, which made the show Lost Media for a long time (A possible reason for this was probably because of the licensed music used in a few episodes). At one point, it alongside Blaster's Universe were the rarest Nelvana cartoons ever.
- Short-Runners: One of the shortest-lived series to ever air on Kids' WB! along with Road Rovers and Detention, lasting only for 13 episodes in one season and being taken off the block shortly afterwards. Though it did air reruns on Cartoon Network from 1998 to 2000 (most of the clips on the internet are from the CN broadcasts).
- What Could Have Been: It was originally supposed to be a claymation series set to debut in the fall of 1991on Fox Kids, but was shelved and re-tooled as traditional animation several years later. It was even referenced in an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson from 1991, where Johnny listed the upcoming TV shows for the season: "A claymation series about a family with oversized heads."
