** The South American versions of the toys are [[ButNotTooBlack altered]] to the point where the good doctor herself is AmbiguouslyBrown or outright ''[[RaceLift white]]'' in those markets. This has led to fans from those countries buying the toys from North America just because they are colored correctly.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The show only had five DVD releases in the three years it's been out, and while Amazon, Netflix and iTunes stock the full season, those are generally NoExportForYou cases to the remaining 66% of the world that Apple et. al. deems undeserving to buy the series off them. Episodes have started appearing on Youtube, but all of them have been manipulated in some way (ie image-flipped or squished and sound pitch changed) to throw Google's overzealous copyright-bot (which is there due to Disney's iron fist in copyrights) off.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: Having daily reruns and being the first Disney show to get a 5th season is proof of this. Also, the show is so adored that even programming providers, such as Hulu, are tending to use the program as the face of their children's programming in their advertisements. However, it briefly became [[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwed]] as explained below, but this was soon averted once again as even after it ended, the show is still promoted alongside Disney Junior's [[WesternAnimation/{{TOTS}} newest]] [[WesternAnimation/MiraRoyalDetective originals]]

* NamesTheSame: One of the episode is titled ''Dark Knight''. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant No]], a Franchise/{{Batman}} action figure isn't appearing as the patient in the episode.[[note]]Given that Batman is a Creator/DCComics character which is owned by Time-Warner and Disney owns Creator/MarvelComics, it would take a ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''-level licensing deal for Batman to show up in a Disney show.[[/note]]
** One episode is titled ''Blame it on the Rain''. The same title was used a decade earlier by an episode of HBO's Literature/HaroldAndThePurpleCrayon animated series.
** Another episode is titled ''Out of the Box''. Given that the show airs on Disney Junior, the successor to Playhouse Disney, there's no blame here if you're finding yourself singing ''Series/OutOfTheBox, ooh yeah, Out of the Box! Take one box, put it with another, let's look for one that's long and wide...''

* TrendKiller: The monster successes of shows like this and ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' has mostly ended the use of Fake Interactivity in preschool shows that ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'' made popular. Now, most preschool-aimed content tries to teach kids lessons without faking interactivity. A research study done by Disney in 2010 provides further insight into why this is the case. Before the Disney Junior block was conceived, the company surveyed parents and asked them what they wanted to see in the shows their kids watched. Most parents wanted their kids to watch stories that would make them happy and that they could tell back to their parents, a change most likely resulting from the rise of tablet and smartphone apps teaching preschool concepts. In comparison, when Disney conducted the same survey five years prior, parents wanted their children to learn educational concepts from these shows.

* TheMerch: Merchandise ranges from the good (a Lambie plush that is reviewed as being very soft and cuddly) to the bad (a talking Lambie that seems to be the toy equivalent of a lemon - nearly everyone reports that stops working after a couple of days.) Merchandise for this show often sells online for a heavy premium, and you simply may or may not get lucky if you're trying to find a particular item in stores. Note that if you live in a primarily white area, though, there's a good chance that you may be able to find plenty of plush of the Doc herself, even when Stuffy, Lambie, Chilly and all of the others are sold out. Yep, even in this day and age. (Of course, it's possible that this may not have anything to do with Doc's blackness when you consider that she's competing against a stuffed lamb that oozes cuteness and a blue dragon who's also rather cute.) In any case, though, a [[http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/27/business/a-disney-doctor-speaks-of-identity-to-little-girls.html?_r=0 report]] in mid-July 2014 indicated that over $500 million worth of show merchandise had already been sold, and that the line seems to have enduring appeal and has also attracted the attention of both boys and white consumers.
