** With some searching, the entire series can be found online via [=YouTube=] or {{DailyMotion}}, and other video sharing sites.

** The only way you can watch the ''Christmas Too'' special on DVD is through the DirectToVideo film ''A Very Merry Pooh Year''. While the special is remastered for the film, Rabbit's fur was [[DigitalDestruction painted yellow]] as commonly portrayed, while Christopher Robin's voice [[TheOtherDarrin was re-dubbed]] by the actor who voiced the character in the new bridging sequences. The original special returned to television in 2007 on Creator/{{ABC}}, but several scenes were cut for commercial time. This version was the basis for the Creator/{{Freeform}} airings as part of their ''25 Days of Christmas'' block from 2008 until 2013. The special returned to Freeform in 2018 and restored some scenes (notably Pooh's friends wishing him well when he unsuccessfully attempts to deliver the letter to Santa personally) but cuts others like Gopher helping Tigger and Rabbit set up their Christmas tree and subsequently decorating it, and uses Christopher Robin's voice track from ''A Very Merry Pooh Year''. So far, the 1994 VHS and 1995 {{LaserDisc}} releases of the special remain the only way to watch it in its original form.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: A few episodes are available on the ''Growing Up With Winnie The Pooh'' [=DVDs=] and many VHS tapes and {{LaserDiscs}} contained episodes of the series back when those two formats was commonplace, but the vast majority of the series remains difficult to find. For those that have thrift stores, Goodwills or swap meets in their area, the VHS tapes are not uncommon finds there, along with a VCR to play them if you don't have one, often selling for $5 or less.

* RoleReprisal: John Fiedler, Paul Winchell and Hal Smith all reprise their roles as Piglet, Tigger and Owl respectively from the original shorts and original film almost two decades before. Smith does not reprise his previous role as Pooh however, the role inherited by Jim Cummings from this show onward.

** Cummings, meanwhile, inherited the role of Pooh from Creator/SterlingHolloway (who voiced Pooh in the original featurettes), who declined to reprise his role for retirement and health reasons ([[AuthorExistenceFailure Holloway would die in 1992]], the year after ''New Adventures'' aired its last episode). Ken Sansom was cast as Rabbit (replacing Will Ryan) and Peter Cullen was cast as Eeyore.

Ken Sansom was now Rabbit (replacing Will Ryan) and Peter Cullen was the new Eeyore.

** Voice actor Michael Gough (not to be confused with another Creator/MichaelGough) was brought in to replace Howard Morris as the voice of Gopher, as Morris was under contract to ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends''. When Morris decided to retire from voice acting, Gough became Gopher's new voice.

* LongRunner: Lasted longer in reruns than in first run, actually. It started on The Disney Channel on January 17, 1988 and ran until April 10, 1988. It then moved to ABC in first-run from September 10, 1988 until October 26, 1991 (during the 1989-90 season it was paired up with the newly-moved-networks ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears Gummi Bears]]'' as the ''Gummi Bears/Winnie-The-Pooh Hour''), then aired reruns until September 4, 1993. Reruns then started airing on ABC again on December 9, 1995, lasting through the entirety of the ''Creator/OneSaturdayMorning'' block (mostly to fulfill E/I requirements, however), continuing until that block's end on September 7, 2002. And of course there were the seemingly endless amounts of Pooh-related VHS tapes released during the 90s, reruns on the Creator/DisneyChannel from October 3, 1994 until September 1, 2006, and on Creator/ToonDisney from 1998 to 2008, to the point it probably made an observer think the show lasted ''way'' longer than it did.

** Two episodes, "Pooh Oughta Be in Pictures" and "Cleanliness is Next to Impossible", are only available on long-out-of-print Region 2 videotapes, and another two, "To Bee or Not to Bee" and "Sorry, Wrong Slusher", are unavailable on home video in any format, the latter most likely to do its [[DarkerAndEdgier disturbing subject matter]].

* RoleReprisal: Jon Fiedler, Paul Winchell and Hal Smith all reprise their roles as Piglet, Tigger and Owl respectively from the original shorts and film almost two decades before.

* ActorAllusion: In "Sham Pooh," a mix up leads to all the characters acting like each other. Owl winds up thinking he's Pooh and acting like the real deal, which isn't too much of a stretch for his voice actor as Hal Smith was Pooh's voice actor as well in the early 1980's. Smith does do a pretty good job of differentiating his voice for Owl-as-Pooh compared to the regular one he used for Pooh.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Anyone familiar with Creator/JackNicholson would be able to tell immediately who Nasty Jack in "Paw and Order" was based on not just in name and voice but even in his physical resemblance.

* TheOtherDarrin: By the time the third season began production, Creator/JimCummings, already voicing Pooh, replaced Paul Winchell as Tigger, reportedly due to Winchell's declining health[[note]]Winchell returned to voice Tigger in both ''Winnie the Pooh, and Christmas Too!'' and ''Pooh's Grand Adventure'', and continued voicing Tigger on occasions until his retirement in 1999 as his health worsened[[/note]]. Cummings also filled in for Winchell in odd episodes of the previous seasons starting with "King Of The Beasties".

** Reportedly, during times where Cummings couldn't show up, Hal Smith also provided some odd voice work for Pooh for the series (having previously voiced him in ''A Day For Eeyore'').
