Before the creation of this series, director Jean-François Rivard was in a band called Balboa with cast members Rémi-Pierre Paquin, Stéphane Lapointe and Geneviève Néron.
A transition shot frequently used in the series, in which several stars whizz by and make a distinct sound against an outer space backdrop, was inspired by Hanna Barbera's Super Friends, which used the same motif/sound effect. (Director's commentary)
François Létourneau and Jean-François Rivard spent 4 years on and off developing the show before it was finally green-lit by Radio-Canada for production.
The poultry abattoir scenes in reality were shot in a hospital cafeteria.
Season One pre-production started February 4, 2005. Filming took place between April 4 and August 18, 2005. The series starting airing on September 14, 2005.
