Yeah, as I kid, I did not notice any of this stuff, and it didn't go to reruns when I was an adult, unlike Jay Ward Productions. What I remembered most about it was the "Synchro-Vox" method of using real human mouths in place of the cartoon characters' mouths.

As far as I know, only this and "Space Angel" used that process. I'll have to go watch an episode of that and see if it was just as cheesy

Still, that Synchro-Vox stuff is pretty cheesy
