The series was conceived as a parody of Charlie's Angels, which also aired on ABC, while borrowing heavily from the format of Hanna-Barbera's own Scooby-Doo.

The Slag Brothers, characters from the earlier Hanna-Barbera series Wacky Races, served as the inspiration for the design and concept of Captain Caveman.

Captain Caveman's flying power was prone to sudden failure, which he sometimes blamed on an 'energy crisis,' a direct reference to the real-life gasoline rationing shortages of the late 1970s.

In the opening credits, Dee Dee Skyes and Brenda Chance are accidentally mislabeled with each other's names.

Some sources spell the family name of Dee Dee and her uncle Frank as 'Sykes,' but the episode 'The Fur Freight Fright,' featuring Frank's company 'Skye's Furs,' confirms the correct spelling as 'Skyes'.

The show used a laugh track, making it one of the last Hanna-Barbera productions of the 1970s to include one.

The closing credits music was reused from the CB Bears theme, and the end credit roll footage came from the original two-hour version of Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics.

When Captain Caveman later appeared in The Flintstone Comedy Show, his secret identity was an office boy named Chester, who needed only glasses and a tie as a disguise but still required an elaborate transformation sequence involving a coat rack to change back into the Captain.
