History YMMV / DieSendungMitDerMaus

* PeripheryDemographic: According to demographic polling, the average fan may be as old as the show. The creators have noted a trend wherein as kids become teenagers they decide they're too old to watch, then rediscover it via adult nostalgia.
* [[SamusIsAGirl Samus is a Mouse]]: Played with. WordOfGod is that in all important respects the mouse is non-binary ('it's just a mouse'); however she ''is'' referred to as feminine by German grammatic gender default, and the creators did put her in an elaborate evening gown for one spot. Of course, they also put her in lavender swim trunks for another. Evidently it's a complicated subject.

* EarWorm: The "Music/SchnappiDasKleineKrokodil" song, which made its debut appearance on the show before becoming a nationwide phenomenon, and later snowballed into a worldwide phenomenon by means of MemeticMutation.

* [[SamusIsAGirl Samus is a Mouse]]: Played with. WordOfGod is that in all important respects the mouse is effectively non-binary ('it's just a mouse'); however she ''is'' referred to as feminine by German grammatic gender default, and the creators did put her in an elaborate evening gown for one spot--and lavender swim trunks for another. Evidently it's a complicated subject.

WordOfGod is that in all important respects the mouse is effectively non-binary ('it's just a mouse'); however she ''is'' referred to as feminine by German grammatic gender default, and the creators did put her in an elaborate evening gown for one spot and a ruffled lavender swimsuit for another.

* [[SamusIsAGirl Samus is a Mouse]]: Played with. WordOfGod is that in all important respects the mouse--and presumably her little friends--are effectively non-binary ('it's just a mouse'); however she ''is'' referred to as feminine by German grammatic gender default, and the creators did put her in an elaborate evening gown for one spot. Evidently it's a complicated subject.

* [[SamusIsAGirl Samus is a Mouse]]: Still lacking WordOfGod. The mouse is female by German grammatic gender default, but other than putting her in an evening gown for one spot, the creators haven't indicated it one way or another; it's 'just a mouse'. (Same for elephant and duck.)

* IconicCharacterForgottenTitle: The show's original title was ''Lach- und Sachgeschichten für Fernsehanfänger'' (roughly: ''Laughing and Learning Stories for TV Beginners''). But after the orange mouse was introduced, everyone called it just "the programme with the mouse". [[ArtifactTitle (The "Lach- und Sachgeschichten" part of the old title is still present in the title segment though)]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: This show is also very popular amongst adults. Partly because they know the show from their own childhood, partly because, hey, where else will you get the production of an airplane or a food product explained that comprehensibly?
** The popularity of the educational segments led to a SpinOff which featured only a selection of them (probably because the [[TastesLikeDiabetes cutesy shorts]] didn't appeal as much to the PeripheryDemographic).
