What Could Have Been in this series.
  • The series was originally going to be called Country Club. Also, it was supposed to premiere on Disney XD in Spring 2018 before being moved to Disney Channel, along with the release date being pushed back to Summer 2018.
  • An early concept art of the series when the show was originally named Country Club shows some notable changes in the characters' designs, while Cricket's design remained unchanged except he appeared a bit rough on certain portions of his design and his original name was "Bucket".
    • Tilly was slightly taller than her actual height in the series, she originally wore a dress with flowers, while her facial appearance appeared a bit aged up as she had puffy cheeks.
    • Bill originally wore a straw hat and overalls similar to what Cricket wears, while his head shape appeared rock like.
    • Gramma Alice originally was in a wheelchair while her facial appearance is closely similar to Randl's Mom from Harvey Beaks.
    • Remy’s design depicted him, having a bigger head shaped has a little strands of hair, a bit taller, and seen with a portable laptop. His design was adjusted due to him resembling to Irwin from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
  • While another concept art showed three stages of character design change:
    • Remy appeared almost more like his current one, except his hair was shorter, had a slightly long head, and he does not wear a sweater.
    • While the Greens looked closely like their final version with a few minor changes.
    • The episode Welcome Home was originally paired with Space Chicken, while there were a list of episodes that were released randomly out of order. Both episodes were paired with each other on Disney+.
  • Big Coffee was originally called "Cafe de Urbana".
  • Cricket's naughty musical number in "Green Christmas" originally had a scene where he put on a red costume and wear horns, similar to Krampus. Understandably, it was scrapped.
  • Originally, Cricket launching a chicken into space in "Space Chicken" was to get everyone to remember his name, but the plot got changed to focus more on his relationship with Bill. The only remnant of the original plot was Cricket saying, "My name's Cricket! I'm your new neighbor!" after Gloria drops him off at the house.
  • Cheap Show originally had a gag where live-action versions of the show's voice actors would've made a cameo, but it was cut for being too expensive.
  • A scene in "Chipwrecked" has a woman walking a man like a dog. Shane Houghton said the scene was different, where it was originally where a woman walking a dog, and they were covered in coffee, but the dog was changed to a human man on all fours because the higher-ups didn't want to show a dog drinking coffee (coffee being poisonous to dogs).
  • For the episode "Animation Abomination", there was going to be a production coordinator to show how animation is made, but couldn't be represented. As such, Gloria took on a similar type of role by being an intern since she's otherwise not qualified for the job.
  • There exist an episode in the show's first season that, to date, seems to be the only episode that was completely scrapped. It was called "Hands-On History", and it would've featured Mark Hamill as a character named "Dr. Ponderstein", a sinister curator who ran a museum, which would've resulted in the conflict; with Cricket and Remy being at odds at how Ponderstein was teaching kids. However, the Houghton brothers thought Remy's character in the script was "too unlikeable", and they couldn't find a way to make the episode any good, even with constant rewrites, leading to it eventually being left on the cutting room floor. This was slightly alluded to in "Chipocalypse Now" when Cricket accuses Remy of signing the destruction petition and Remy admits he never once betrayed Cricket.
  • Season 3 was set to have the traditional 30 episodes, but was cut down to 20 episodes due to Chris and Shane working on other BCG-related projects, one in particular being the upcoming movie.
