History Series / TheNoddyShop

* ParentsDayEpisode: "Part Of The Family" revolves around the kids preparing for Mother's Day when they meet a girl named Julie, who feels bitter whenever she hears people talk about moms.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The Do-Wop Penguins, whom live inside a castle.

* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: Bonita Flamingo is a stuffed carnival toy.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The show is one to Rick Sigglekow's earlier TV series ''Series/ShiningTimeStation''. The show focuses on an older adult who runs a business related to the British animated show it frames, a crazy person who runs a business near the shop, something inanimate coming to life during one point in the episode, a group of kids who visit the place, small, human-like creatures who interact with the humans and people telling stories leading into the British animation.

* TyopOnTheCover: The episode "The Sandman Cometh" has the episode's title displayed as "THE SANDMAN" COMETH". It's unknown if this was fixed for future airings of the episode.

* WidgetSeries: Being that this series was produced in Canada despite being made for the United States market, there are some parts of the show itself that are either bizzare or confusing:
** The character of Aunt Agatha has a high-pitched voice and acts childish at times, obsessing over things like the ocean and rats. She also thinks she's a mermaid and can produce the sounds of a big ocean liner.
** The goblins that lurk the shop seem to be a reverse family, with Boobull being the parent figure and his mom and dad acting like children who speak in unintelligible language.
** The whole concept of Johnny Crawfish. He's a lobster who is said to be a celebrity despite being a TalkingAnimal, and has the ability to play the piano. He also has claimed at least once to have an actual family.
** The Crybabies are smarter than they appear to be. For instance, in one episode, they revealed that they have an understanding of PottyFailure, when most people their age are not toilet-trained.
** The Ruby Reds are singing lips without faces that live in a box.
** Two of the characters would seem out of place on any other show for preschoolers, with Gertie Gator having [[BigBreastPride big breasts]] and one of the characters, Stein, being a beer tankard.

* TheDollEpisode: The Goblins live in a dollhouse, which can be seen in some of the episodes as well as the intro.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Most of the toys with two-part names are in this format except for Bonita Flamingo, the Dancing Ladies, Island Princess, Granny Duck and Johnny Crawfish.

* EekAMouse: In this show, this is used as a running gag for Aunt Agatha. The episode "The Fish Story" took this UpToEleven by having her dress as a cat to find some mice who she thought took a ring belonging to Kate's mom.

** Johnny Crawfish's song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4ZYGCsgKrQ Special]]" has sexual innuendo (like saying that he's been "around the block", implying that he has lots of sex. It also says the word "hell". The music video was made to market the show to international broadcasters and wasn't for the public to see.

->''"[[OnceUponATime Once upon a time,]] there was a magical shop in a town called Littleton Falls. When I was a boy, I knew it was magic because things moved on the shelves when no one was looking. Then I grew up and went to sea and sailed around the world, but I always knew I'd come back and run this shop someday. Oh, I forgot to tell you. My name is Noah Tomten, and this is [[TitleDrop the Noddy Shop!]]"''

** The most common stock artwork for Johnny Crawfish]] depicts him with a ToothStrip, compared to his teeth looking more realistic in the actual show itself.

* QuieterThanSilence:
During Take A Stand when the kids chase a customer away with their rival lemonade/ baked good stands they stop arguing and realize the customer’s gone. To really drive the point home a tumble weed rolls by them on the street!

** The show has plenty of scenes in which the puppet characters (and on occasion the humans) quote or referencing things adults would only get, like ''Film/SuddenImpact'' or ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''.
** The episode "Skunked" has Whiny and Whimper mistaking the skunk smell for [[PottyFailure one of them soiling their diaper]], which could be considered this because PBS Kids shows, especially those for preschoolers, never tend to use PottyHumor for the purpose of a joke. [[note]] The only other PBS Kids shows that had toilet humor jokes were ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} Arthur's Perfect Christmas]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales''. Any other instance of mentioning the bathroom on PBS Kids, save for ''Arthur'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'', which show characters having [[PottyEmergency potty emergencies]], mainly happens a ToiletTrainingPlot.[[/note]]
** One character, Gertie Gator, has large breasts.
** Johnny Crawfish's song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4ZYGCsgKrQ Special]]" has sexual innuendo (like saying that he's been "around the block", implying that he has lots of sex. It also says the word "hell". The music video was made to market the show to international broadcasters and wasn't for the public to see.
** The series finale has [[spoiler:a man trying to turn NODDY's into a cigar store. You read that right, mentions of smoking in a show for toddlers]].

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: This show had many things that probably wouldn't fly on any other Creator/PBSKids show aimed at preschoolers:
** One of the characters, Stein, is a beer mug.
** The song "The Day The Goblins Got Away" contains this verse:
--> [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Goblins are like an itch you can't get near]]
--> Don't give them any ideas!

** As mentioned below, the show has plenty of scenes in which the puppet characters (and on occasion the humans) quote or referencing things adults would only get, like ''Film/SuddenImpact'' or ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''.

''The Noddy Shop'' [[note]] The show's official title is "Noddy", and is known as ''Noddy in Toyland'' outside of North America, while promotional material calls it The Noddy Shop. We have decided to use the show's promotional name to avoid confusion with ''WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures'', the name of the cartoon this show frames, or the 2009 Noddy adaptation with the international name of this show.[[/note]] is a Canadian KidCom created by Rick Siggelkow that was the SpiritualSuccessor to ''Series/ShiningTimeStation''. The show centered on three kids, Kate; her brother, Truman; and their friend, DJ, who visit a toy shop (the titular Noddy Shop) every day after school while their parents were at work, where they would visit with Noah, the shop's owner and Kate and Truman's grandfather. But the shop isn't any ordinary toy store-the residents of the toy store, as well as Noah's pet lobster Johnny Crawfish, can come to life and talk to them. One day, the kids discover a mysterious box and a key, which holds mischievous goblins that play tricks on people, as well as a map of an imaginary land and two dolls that turn out to be Noddy and Big Ears, which the kids decide to tell stories with that relate to real-life situations the kids face (which are represented by episodes of ''WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures''). After the story had been told, the toys and Johnny would sing a song about the moral of the story to the kids. In some episodes, they would sing two songs, with the second one usually being a retelling of a popular story set to music.
