Trivia

The series was to receive a revival in 2005, titled "A Mézga család és a (sz)ámítógép" (a wordplay-based title roughly meaning "The Mézga Family and the Computer/Humbug Machine"). It would have been a modern update about the characters, still the same age as in the 70s, discovering the world of computers and the Internet, with Endre Harkányi as the sole returning original voice actor. Two 10 minute episodes were completed and made public on the net. Plans for a full series fell through due to lack of funding, since it would have been produced using expensive hand-drawn animation. Aside from that, some people have also suggested that a comedy about a bumbling family learning computer technology would already have been cliche and old hat in 2005.

Endre Harkányi, voice of the father character Géza Mézga, claimed that he never understood the popularity of the series, which to him was silly and nonsensical. He had fun working on it however, and eventually grew fond of his association with the character of Géza, who became the most popular figure he has ever portrayed.

The character designs were inspired by the appearance of their respective voice actors. This also made it easier to animate the series, as the creators based the animation on the actors' performances.

Each episode took about an hour to record for the voice actors, for the very low sum of 500 Hungarian Forints per episode, which would be somewhere around 100 US Dollars in modern money.

Decades after the series had ended, its characters would occasionally still show up as marketing mascots for chocolate bars and dairy products. In the late 2010s, the series was revived as a theatrical stage show that played in Hungary and some neighboring countries.
