* OutdatedByCanon:Prior to the release of Season 2, fans of the show drew some of the characters like Mr. Tall, Mr. Funny, Miss Magic, Miss Bossy, Miss Giggles and Miss Curious with the Season 1, though the former 6 were depicted in the classic style (Miss Curious and Mr. Funny being the most drastic looking out of the 6). Also, because of it Mr. Funny is depicted as a talking wise cracker, unlike later in Season 2 where he doesn't speak and only honks.

* FranchiseKiller: The commercial failure of the series when it aired on Cartoon Network in the US, including its [[InvisibleAdvertising scant promotion,]] its awkward timeslot and a DenserAndWackier tone that bore little to no resemblance to the source material (some characters even being InNameOnly interpretations of their namesakes, including two existing characters that were [[GenderBender gender-swapped]]), essentially killed off further attempts at adapting the ''Mr. Men'' franchise to television, although the books themselves are still going strong to this day. All Mr. Men animations released since have been television commercials or short Internet videos, which have more or less kept the art style and designs of the original books. However in 2021, it was announced a new series is being produced.

* QuietlyCancelled: After the last episode "Bad Weather/Pests" aired, the show only updated the official website with Miss Magic and Giggles added in with no announcements for a third season on the production blog. It's likely that the show was canceled due to multiple factors; bad time slot, lack of merchandise and this was around the time Cartoon Network was ending a lot of productions due to its transition at the time.

* UnspecifiedRoleCredit:
** Only the main cast is credited, meaning some characters, like the robots and aliens that appear in the show are not credited. Fans guess that Mr. Grumpy's robot share the same voice as himself (obviously), and Herbie Homemaker is voiced by Mr. Tickle.
** Even then, some of the actors were using pseudonyms that can never be traced. Like with Yo-kai Watch (both shows were directed and voice-directed by Mark Ristley), it wasn't until later much later when Twitter feeds state that some of the actors' real names (Mr. Scatterbrain's voice actor). This was because both shows were non-union records, although Yo-Kai Watch became an expansive SAG production until season 3, which led to the Twitter reveals.

Per TRS, Now Which One Was That Voice was moved to Trivia and renamed to Unspecified Role Credit. Moving to Uncredited Role because it was misuse.

Added DiffLines:

* UncreditedRole: Prudence Alcott, the lady who voiced Miss Calamity, wasn't shown on other websites. Mark Risley couldn't give it away due to the fact that the voice actors were in the group so they cannot have their names credited legally.

* FridayNightDeathSlot: When the show first aired on Cartoon Network, brand new episodes would be on 9 in the morning and repeat again in 1:30 in the afternoon. But in the second season, they pushed it to 11:30 and only aired it once. This is most likely one of the reasons the show got canceled as kids wouldn't watch the show during school hours. Not helping that unlike the first season, it never got repeats due to the shift changes with the network.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: A lot of fans were expecting a third season, which sadly never came to be due to the show's lackluster success. Didn't help that Cartoon Network only aired the show on weekday mornings and afternoons, where most children were in school and constantly pre-empted it for morning movie airings along with the TV show of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime''. By the time the first season finished, it was banished to one weekend morning airing right after Creator/AdultSwim, outside of movie filler (even then ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' would usually take that job), and the [[InvisibleAdvertising barely-advertised]] second season had few, if any, reruns after it concluded.
