Development

The show was originally going to be titled "The Incredibles." This is shown in this concept art. The name would later be used for the Pixar franchise of the same name.

There were also plans for a soundtrack album featuring the songs performed by the band. It never got past a test pressing featuring "Hiddy Hiddy Hoo" and "She Couldn't Dance."

Music

The music was composed by Hoyt Curtin.
