== Trivia ==
* This pilot is a more-or-less remake of Pat Ventura's Oh Yeah Cartoons short, "That's My Pop: There's A Dinosaur in the House" (but extended to 28 minutes with additional storylines, which was too long for Discovery Kids to air).
* For the first episode of the following series in order to shorten the episode to 22 minutes, the creators cut out about ten minutes worth of material, and added back another three minutes, in order to tie up the changed storyline.
* This pilot was also the debut of Ronnie's friends, Kevin Jordan and Tekuno 'Teku' Gajetto.
* Charlie, Ronnie and Melvin's father, is mentioned in the original unaired pilot.
