Trivia / The Roman Holidays

• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: One of the most often misreported aspect of this show comes over Brutus the lion. There are numerous sources comparing him to the point of being an Expy of Snagglepuss. This most stems from one specific episode where Brutus writes a goodbye note and the voice over in his head is Daws Butler doing the Snagglepuss voice. In every other instance on the show Brutus merely growls or snarls and doesn't remotely act like Snagglepuss. Taken a bit even more confounding given there actually is a better character to accuse Brutus of being an Expy or Generation Xerox of. On an episode of The Flintstones introduced a lion that Fred took home that grew into a constant eater and sometimes unwelcomed house guest. For all intents and purposes Brutus acts exactly like this character but this one episode character is often overlooked.
• Follow the Leader: This show directly follows the formula previously established for a Hanna-Barbera sitcom show made more famous on The Flintstones and The Jetsons. Its family follows the Jetsons mold but switches the genders of the children. In some episodes though the show shifts focus to Happius/Groovia more than Gus/Laurie. In these cases the show's Follow the Leader format is more in line with the teen sitcoms of Flintstones spin off The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show.
