Added DiffLines:

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: It’s possible to interpret Jeanette as having ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). Common symptoms of ADHD are things such as struggling to keep organised and tardiness. In one episode the Principal describes Jeanette’s brain as working “in a different way” to hers or Brittney’s. ADHD can be viewed as similar to multi-tasking and isn’t necessarily a weakness as ADHD people tend to be smart, think outside the box, be creative, and focusing on different things all at once, and these are all qualities Jeanette has.
** It’s also possible that Alvin could have ADHD or potentially a learning disability.
** Some believe Simon might suffer from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).

* UncannyValley: The redesigned characters look more human than chipmunk now, particularly their noses. When [[http://www.stusshow.com Stu Shostak]] had animation historian Jerry Beck on one of his podcasts, he commented how a preview for the series on the classic ''WesternAnimation/TheAlvinShow'' Blu-ray horrified and repulsed him.

** Kevin, Cheesy, and some of the other kids are either funny because of what knuckleheads they can be, or blatantly annoying HollywoodNerd stereotypes.

** Officer Dangus is a clear example of PoliceAreUseless, but depending on your overall opinion of police in general, that example is either a funny or disrespectful one.


Added DiffLines:

* TheScrappy: Miss Smith has an annoyingly shrilly voice, often screams like a banshee, and sometimes even goes out of her way to be unnecesarily harsh on the students, particularly Alvin (even in cases where he ''doesn't'' bring it on himself as he usually does).

* BrokenBase: Because so many people remember the '80s series so fondly, this one is a bit of a tough pill to swallow, with some people finding it a perfect continuation of the old show and others regarding it as a bastardization.
** ''Especially'' regarding the character designs. Some criticize the character designs for making the chipmunks resemble humans too closely; others find the designs to be cute and consider the old '80s look to be more human than the designs in this series.
