* AdaptationDisplacement: The number of people who have even heard of the original 1943 book by Beth Brown, much less read it, could be counted on one hand. The book itself is exceedingly rare, and it can fetch up to hundreds of dollars on Amazon. [[InNameOnly The two have essentially nothing in common]], save that they're about death and dogs.

Bluth himself admitted that despite having known the story as a child, when making his version, all he could remember was the title, and after failing to find a copy of the book, combined with info being scarce back then, he deciced to make his own story using the title.

Removing a Harsher in Hindsight entry that seems like actor mortality misuse (I suspect the first one suffers from this as well, but I'm not fully sure).
Deleted line(s) 72 (click to see context) :
* HarsherInHindsight: Like the first film, the show's focus on mortality and the afterlife gets more poignant as we lose more voice actors. In a bit of tragic irony, all three of the actors who played Charlie, whose death kicks off the plot of the first installment, outlived every single one of their co-stars (save Sheena Easton and Bebe Neuwirth).

** Despite Charlie reverting to [[{{Jerkass}} his old ways]] for the sake of comedy, he has his moments now and then, like when he talks about never celebrating a birthday in "An Itch In Time". "He Barked She Barked" also makes apparent that Charlie is aware of his many vices and how often he lets his friends down, lamenting that he deserved to get EasilyCondemned by Belladonna.

Added DiffLines:
** One truly ideal use for Belladonna would have been to connect the dots between the series and the two films and use her presence to explain the characters' new circumstances (eg. Annabelle recruiting Charlie and Itchy specifically to protect other dogs' souls from her, Carface having escaped from hell by allying with her, with Killer getting dragged in). However there is no elaboration, and Belladonna herself only appears in a handful of episodes, let alone gets dynamics developed.
