Production
The idea of the series was conceived in 2002 while Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere were still in a deal with Disney, working for Recess and Lloyd in Space. Michael Eisner disliked the idea, and Paul and Joe moved to North Hollywood, where they signed a four-year deal with Gingo Animation. Phil LaMarr and LeVar Burton signed on to do the voices in 2004. Paul and Joe presented the idea to executive producer Michael Wildshill in January 2005.

Gingo announced a three-season order in 2005, to premiere in the Saturday morning slate of the 2006-07 season, with a planned 22 episodes for seasons one and two and 21 episodes for season three, for a total of 65 episodes.

Broadcast
The show aired on Gingo from September 9, 2006 to May 23, 2009, and aired following Ace of All Trades in the time period. It was successful at first, but according to Paul, the results ended up being disappointing. It also aired on The CW and Univision Kids.
