* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The show was very popular in Britain, and as many British TimmyInAWell jokes reference Skippy instead of Lassie.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Aunt Evelyn from "Aunt Evelyn" was played by Creator/DarleneJohnson, who would later be best known for playing Emily Weiss in ''Film/ShockTreatment''.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Skippy was female. Some people tend to mistakenly refer to her as a male kangaroo. Even the AnimatedAdaptation gets it wrong. Major clue that Skippy is a female: she has a pouch. Also, a RunningGag is that guest characters sometimes mistakenly referred to Skippy as a male, which is used to show that the characters do not know anything about kangaroos.
