- Actor Allusion: Probably unintentional, but amusing enough—when Skip is hanging from a tree branch in the last episode, Augie remarks, "I always knew he was part monkey." Micky Dolenz—most famous as the drummer for The Monkees—voiced Skip.
- Follow the Leader: This show continues on the Meddling Kids train. Originally regarding plot, the show followed the "Scooby-Doo" Hoax formula but this was slowly played around with over the course of the season. In some episodes, however, there was no Scooby-Doo Hoax and in the last two, the hoax is back burnered while the main plot of the episode involved Mudsy's past.
- On a unique side, though, the main cast tends to split the usual stock traits that usually would only go to one. April, Skip and Augie each respectively have times of leadership, being smart, cowardice and distress. Mudsy to a lesser extent follows Scooby's lead as the coward who can sometimes be brave. Elmo and Boo themselves tend to act a bit more usual for the silent pets.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: Averted as of 2010; the entire series was released on DVD through Warner Archive.
