* CultClassic: Despite doing extremely well ratings-wise (second only to '"WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' in the States on Creator/ComedyCentral and the highest-rated TV show ''ever'' in Canada) during its time, the series is largely forgotten in the mainstream these days, even among animation fans. Nonetheless, it retains a loyal fan following for its dry wit and relatable stories.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: "Sucks" might be too strong a word, but some agree that the third and fourth seasons, which had the title characters move to Canada, had viewers express that the show doesn't feel the same from the London seasons. Not helping is due to the Canadian content regulations (the impetus of the show's decision to change settings in the first place in order for the show to be funded), Bob's voice had to be changed from Andy Hamilton to Creator/BrianGeorge since the rule also requires that one of the leads must be Canadian.

However, the new secondary cast was generally pretty well-received, especially by Canadian fans.

* {{Squick}}: Sometimes, the cartoon will show Bob currently treating a patient. One in particular shows a man being administered anaesthetic through a syringe to the gums. It's particularly chilling if you have a fear of needles.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The hijacking scene in "The Holiday" turns out to be AllJustADream but the same could not be said for what happens three years later in New York (ironically, the Fishes originally planned to go here for a holiday in the season 3 debut episode) making the violent nature of that scene more unnerving to witness and bordering on NightmareFuel rather than the original attempt at BlackComedy and BloodyHilarious.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Neil and Moira from the season 1 episode "Friends for Dinner" were particularly memorable for their half-assed attempts to entertain their guests, general bellyaching, and most of all for making Margaret lose her shit at least several times to the point of [[PrecisionFStrike dropping an F-bomb]] during an insufferable games night session until finally chewing them out for all the above mentioned things.

* SeasonalRot: The Canada seasons (third and fourth) aren't as fondly remembered as the London seasons (first and second). Not because it's necessarily bad, but long-time watchers and those who remember the show felt that it was just too different. It doesn't help that Bob being replaced by a Canadian voice actor is fairly egregious. Blame Canadian content regulations for that one (see ExecutiveMeddling in the trivia tab).
