| 1 | * FollowTheLeader: Twice over! The original 2001 pilot was one of several animated shows pitched in the waining days of the prime-time animation boom that happened after ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' got big. By the time it was green-lit, it had been {{retool}}ed into a shock humor-heavy ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' clone. |
| 2 | * HeAlsoDid: Character designer Seth Kearsley was a director on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' for several years prior to this show, along with a smattering of other prime-time animated shows like ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}''. He also had his lone theatrical directorial credit in 2002 with Creator/AdamSandler's ''WesternAnimation/EightCrazyNights''. |
| 3 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The first series did get a limited DVD release and while ABC has said, in 2008, that series two would be released for digital/online downloads (via [=iTunes=] and [=XBox=] Live Marketplace) this has yet to happen. |
| 4 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: The [[https://vimeo.com/98621656 original 2001 pilot]] was drastically different from the show it eventually became. For one, it was animated in stop-motion by the soon-to-be-defunct Will Vinton Studios with radically different character designs and, save Tabitha, an entirely different voice cast. It was pitched to The WB, who turned it down because they weren't interested in any animation at the time, which led to the turndown of other Will Vinton TV pilots such as the Boyer Brother pilot and the Klay's TV pilot that were made at the time aswell. |
