- Deke and Danny Donald appear in the series, but Danny is renamed Derek.
- Despite appearing in the movie, Governer Lewis does not appear in the series.
- Wayne's surname is changed from Grey to Green.
- Ira likes cooking as it is a form of science.
- Ira wished that he was born to scientist parents.
- In the series, Wayne has three things containing "green" - a green suit, green eyes, and the surname Green.
- Harry has his moments of being blur - he actually guessed that a turtle's shell was vandalized when the real reason was that someone must have been studying the reptile.
- Ira's mother admitted to throwing petri dishes was fun as she was saving Ira from the genus.
- General Woodman's hair was dyed blue in "General Disorder".
- The romance between Ira and Allison as seen in the movie is ignored in the series.
- In the first episode when the gang is watching the news and they see themselves destroying the giant alien from the movie, they are wearing different clothes, and Deke and Danny are not present.
