** One of Peter's Christmas gifts in ''Superfudge'' was originally a ''calculator''. This would have been a pretty big deal in 1980, but would seem really weird to any kid after 1990 or so. It's later updated to a check from his grandmother in revised editions. He also jokes around, asking for a stereo for his room in the original version, which is replaced with a laptop in the reprints.

** In ''Superfudge'', Peter mentions that he is unable to contact Jimmy while he is in Vermont, due to them not having access to a phone. While it's possible that Jimmy was somewhere without a landline, nowadays it'd be strange for him to not have access to either a cell phone or the internet.

** In the final chapter of the first book, Peter is forced to wait around at the hospital with nothing to do. In a more contemporary time, Peter probably would've had a smart phone that he could use to keep himself occupied.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: In spite of the book series' evergreen status, the television series is notoriously difficult to come across. ''Fudge-a-Mania'' and a few random episodes were released on VHS back in the 90s, but that's it. You can find some episodes if you dig around online, but nothing close to the complete series.
