The show is said to be a prequel to the film although it is non-canon.
In the show, Earl Devereaux is voiced by Clé Bennet, who is the third different actor to take on the role. In the first Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs movie, Earl is voiced by Mr. T, while in the second movie Terry Crews brings the character to life.
It is unclear if Flint and Sam were friends before the movie. However, in "And the Winner Is..." Flint says that if Sam ever moves away from Swallow Falls, he will invent a memory eraser.
This show is notable for having a recon of the events of the first movie.
