Trivia

• The page for the show at the official website for Cartoon Pizza offers nuggets about the philosophy of the program from Jim Jinkins, one of the show's creators. He states that he wanted to "create a series that celebrates family and community," one that "came out of the memories of my own childhood." He goes on to state that "There's a strong moral center to this world of Lake Hoohaw. And it's about having fun in a small community too."
