This series does not display actual episode titles in the title cards like in the Scooby-Doo, Little Rascals, Pac-Man and Monchhichis title cards.
The series has aired overseas in at least one foreign country. In 2015, the network Pogo in India aired Hindi-dubbed episodes and the show became incredibly popular in that country.
The character lineup was mostly the same as in the comic book series, but some minor exceptions apply. Richie's father was named George, but the biggest change was that Richie and his friends appeared to be more mature, about 12 years old, and wore a different wardrobe as opposed in the comic book series. IInstead of the traditional waist coat, red bow tie and blue shorts from the comic book series, this animated version wore long blue pants, and a red sweater with a big golden letter "R" on its front.
In addition, Cadbury the Butler's role in the series is relatively downplayed in favor of another character from the comic books, Irona the Robot Maid. Her increased presence not only allowed for more major female characters in the stories, but her abilities were changed to have her body converted to any form and tool needed in a situation, allowing to be not only a domestic servant, but also Richie's bodyguard of considerable power.

Many of the segments were based on comic book stories published within the year prior to production, but the storylines involved at least one twist - possibly to avoid being a blatant copy of the comic book story and also to avoid legal trouble with the original publisher.
