* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Subverted in the Christmas special. By having the characters travel to Antarctica for Christmas, the show can depict snow and ice on Christmas while still having it accurately take place in summer. The show also accurately depicts constant daytime in Antarctica, unlike most northern-hemisphere Christmas specials, which show the North Pole in daytime (when it should be constant night).

* JumpRopeBlunders:
** In the extended intro, Josie attempts to skip rope, only to get tied up.
** Josie's dilemma in "Josie's Big Jump" is that she has agreed to skip rope with Mitzi later, but every time she tries to use a jump rope, her feet always get tied up in it. As it turns out, the rope she's been using is too short, and when she uses a longer rope, she can jump perfectly.
