* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Until 1999, the format remained basically the same with 3 windows, 2 different clocks (each with their own theme music) and 2 presenters who, for the majority of the time, would act like they were playing with you, and no-one else. Since 1999, the format has been changed to reflect a more modernized Australia, with both the clocks and three windows option put in storage, and replaced with more computerised equivalents. (The Windows rotating prop that was mentioned at the top was briefly replaced by an animation that showed what Window would be the one that they would be going through. In 2011, actual windows done in stop-motion were added into the show as part of the rebrand, ending this.

** Apparently, the UK version sometimes ''was''. In the BBC documentary ''Tales of Television Centre'', Johnny Ball mentioned that he was the only presenter on one Christmas special who wasn't high as a kite.

* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Playdays'' was the official replacement for the UK version, running from 1988 to 1997. The current Creator/CBeebies show ''Tikkabilla'' has a number of ''Play School'' elements, including the windows.

** It happened again in 2017, when the Rocket Clock returned in photorealistic CGI (ending the long-awaited replacement for the Hickey Dickory Clock), the windows were replaced by 3 screens and a film camera (along with calling the footage "clips"). However, older episodes with the 2011-style windows still continue to air.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: To most people over the age of four, Play School itself is one, due to the cheap, artificial music and the presenters who don’t usually deal with negative emotions and serious issues. Compare this to ''Series/SesameStreet'' and ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'', which both dealt with negative emotions and serious issues.

** When the UK version was cancelled, it was replaced with a very similar show called ''Playbus''. Not similar enough for some parents, though.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The famous outtake from the UK version of Fred Harris acting like ThePrimaDonna and screaming "Amateurs! I'm expected to work with ''amateurs''!" ... at ''Big Ted the teddy bear'', who was refusing to sit properly without falling down.
** The statement was "I'm an ''artist''! How can I be expected to work with these ''amateurs'' for God's sake!" (I had access to a copy of ''White Powder Christmas'' on Beta back in the day)
