* In the 1990's when the show was new, [=GoodTimes=] Entertainment offered Phil Vischer to have the series distributed by them, with the caveat that all the religious references would be removed. Phil Vischer obviously refused, since doing so would defeat the purpose of the show. In 2002, [=GoodTimes=] would create their own ''[=VeggieTales=]''-esque series, ''WesternAnimation/GoodSportsGang'', without any problems with the religious stuff. We guess if you can't beat them, join them.
