Trivia

• Tom Ruegger, later a writer and producer for Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, and Histeria! worked on this show and Charles Grosvenor, later the producer/director of most of The Land Before Time direct-to-video sequels, directed the series as well.

• Two comic stories based on the show appeared in issue #18 of the Cartoon Network Presents comic book from DC Comics.

• Dastardly and Muttley's car, The Mean Machine, was not featured on the show, but they appeared in a sub called The SS Dirty Tricks, and in a WWI biplane.

• While working on Yogi's Treasure Hunt, recording director Gordon Hunt was looking over a storyboard and what seemed to be a new character caught his eye. He asked writers Mark Evanier and Earl Kress, who this "new character" was. They both told him it was Yogi's best friend Boo-Boo and was not a new character.
