This show was aimed at an older audience than most other works by CINAR (now known as "WildBrain"), and was consequently able to discuss darker themes and make more use of profanity.
Like Bob & Margaret (another Canadian-made television series), this show was set in England, but added with darker themes.
Treasure was aired on BBC Two in the United Kingdom, ABC Kids in Australia, and YTV in Canada. The series never saw a home release of any kind, and in online, thus most of it is considered lost media.
Of the 13 episodes that originally aired, only five are currently known to survive online.
