Trivia / Jot

• Cross-Dressing Voices: Jot was voiced by two different actresses: Lou Kelly (most of the time) and Colleen Collins (only in 1967 episodes).
• Edited for Syndication: When FamilyNet showed the series in reruns, they shortened every episode to be 2 minutes long.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: The original 4-minute-long versions are hard to find; the official YouTube uploads are FamilyNet prints that cut down the length of the episodes to 2 minutes.
• The Moral Substitute: Meant as a Southern Baptist equivalent of Davey and Goliath, of all things. Why they decided to make a Christian substitute of what was already a Christian show is anyone's guess. Perhaps they found the talking dog blasphemous...
• Word of God: Ruth Byers and Ted Perry, creators of the show, confirmed why Jot was a circle. It was both a cost-cutting measure to keep each episode within its budget and so that the character design would not distract from the message.
