Hanna-Barbera Productions pitched the series to CBS Entertainment, which agreed to pick it up. The series was part of a spate of attempts by major networks to develop prime time animated shows to compete with the success of Fox's The Simpsons, alongside ABC's Capitol Critters (also produced by Hanna-Barbera) and CBS's Family Dog. The show has a decidedly more mature tone than most other animated Hanna-Barbera shows episodes often contained innuendo and mild profanity.
