Due to being in ABC Family, the show was initially believed to be a children's show, but in later advertising and in press kits issued to the media, it was clearly indicated that the show included a more adult tone and themes.
Despite being an ABC Family original series, the program was rated TV-14, and was the fourth adult animated series produced by Disney, the other three being The PJs, which aired on Fox and the WB, Clerks: The Animated Series, which aired on ABC, and Clone High, which was a co-production of MTV and Teletoon, and is the only adult animated show from Disney to not be produced at Touchstone Television, now known as ABC Studios.
The show was one of the very first production that Laika developed.
