History WesternAnimation / TeachersPet

* ShortRunner: Unfortunately, as it was a clever show and many critics loved it. It was only cancelled due to Disney [[{{Retool}} retooling]] Creator/OneSaturdayMorning into ABC Kids.
* ShoutOut: The Movie features lots of references to other Disney films, specifically ''{{WesternAnimation/Pinocchio}}''.
** A board game called "Cranium: Disney Edition", on the other hand is actually a Shout Out to this show, as the original version prominently featured characters drawn by Gary Baseman.

* ShoutOut: The part of the title sequence where Leonard briefly changes into a monster ("Why can't I be a normal boy like any other?") was a reference to the ending of the WesternAnimation/BettyBoop short ''Betty Boop, M.D.''

* AnAesop: There's one in every episode. Some of which include:
** "A Lick Is Still a Kiss": Don't assume things and spread rumors.
** "The Flipper": To gain someone's respect, you have to be respectful of others. Don’t put them down or make them feel small.
** "Tallulahpalooza": A good deed is its own reward, but it will still pay off in the end.
** "Fifi": Sometimes, we think that romance is the only way to be happy, but the true key to happiness is to be with the people you care about.
** "The Grass Seed is Always Greener": The grass may be greener somewhere else, but when you get right down to it, there’s no place like home.
** "Taint Valentine’s Day": You don’t need to be loved by everyone, sometimes just one person is good enough. Leonard wants Valentine’s cards to feel loved, but the ones Spot gave him were sincere.
