Trivia / Mother Goose and Grimm

• Completely Different Title: The Arabic name for the animated series is Alkalb Aldhakiu (الكلب الذكي), which means "smart dog".
• Follow the Leader: The animated series came not long after Garfield and Friends, another (far more successful) Animated Adaptation of a comic strip. Not only that, it was on the same network (CBS), made by the same studio (Film Roman, though MGM Television acted as co-producer for some reason), and even had Mark Evanier as the head writer.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes:
  • Archives of the strips from before 2004 seem to be largely nonexistent on the Internet.
  • The animated series has never had an official home release of any kind, though thankfully all the episodes survived through bootlegs.
• No Export for You: The animated series has only been released in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and its origin country, the United States. For non-English releases, it was released in the Arab countries in the Middle East, Denmark, the Francophone countries, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.
• Real-Life Relative: Grimmy and Mother Goose in the cartoon were voiced by real-life couple Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall, who writer Mark Evanier had previously worked with on the short-lived 1970s game show Rhyme and Reason.
