Cricket's haircut is modeled after Chris Houghton's elementary school haircut.
The Greens' family dog, Phoenix, is named after Chris and Shane Houghton's childhood dog.
According to the creators, the series is mostly set on weekends, weeknights and vacations such as summer break, which explains why Cricket, Tilly and their friends (their age) have not been seen attending school.
According to source releases, Cricket is 10 years old.
The series is traditionally animated on paper with digital ink and paint. The shorts, however, are animated digitally with Adobe Flash, which explains the jagged and rigid movement of the characters.
