History YMMV / GreenEggsAndHam2019

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While Sam does end up doing the right thing in the end, sending Mr. Jenkins home and preventing Snerz from capturing him, and is willing to accept the consequences of his crime, he never directly apologizes to Guy for making him a patsy in his scheme. Guy is the one apologizing to ''him'' for what is, for all intents and purposes, a lesser crime (his remark about Sam not belonging with his mother was mean, but it wasn't roping someone else into ''animal trafficking''). Even then, it's established that Sam is a very lonely fellow and has turned to crimes like these just to get by.

* PeripheryDemographic: It's definetly a {{preschool show}} first and foremost, but it has plenty of adult fans who love it for the gorgeous animation and dense plot, not to mention several generations of now-grown-up Dr. Seuss fans.

* PeripheryDemographic: It's definetly a {{preschooler show}} first and foremost, but it has plenty of adult fans who love it for the gorgeous animation and dense plot, not to mention several generations of now-grown-up Dr. Seuss fans.

* AnimationAgeGhetto: Many assume this show is for preschoolers/toddlers due to being based on a book aimed at the same demographic. While the show is fairly light-hearted, and there isn't really any content that's outright ''inappropriate'' for small children, it's still rated TV-Y7 instead of TV-Y, and has a lot of mature writing and heavy emotional themes you wouldn't see in most {{Preschool Show}}s.

* PeripheryDemographic: It's a cartoon based off a book for pre-schoolers yet has plenty of adult fans.

* WhatTheHellCastingAgency: A few have raised eyebrows at casting the thirty-two year-old Ilana Glazer as E.B., a little girl. The main point of contention is that Glazer made no attempt to ''sound like a girl'', as typical with adult women cast to voice young children. Instead, she speaks in her normal voice, making [[VocalDissonance 10-year-old E.B. sound like a grown woman]].

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While Sam does end up doing the right thing in the end, sending Mr. Jenkins home and preventing Snerz from capturing him, and is willing to accept the consequences of his crime, he never directly apologizes to Guy for making him a patsy in his scheme. Though to be fair, simply giving an apology doesn’t necessarily make up for all everything Sam has done. Even Guy is the one apologizing to ''him'' for what is, for all intents and purposes, a lesser crime (his remark about Sam not belonging with his mother was mean, but it wasn't roping someone else into ''animal trafficking''). Even then, it's established that Sam is a very lonely fellow and has turned to crimes like these just to get by.

** Sam would probably be close with [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie Spinel]] [[spoiler: due to both of them having experienced abandonment by someone they loved]].

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Stealing animals from a zoo to sell to a collector is wrong, but stealing animals from a zoo to release them to the wild is noble. [[spoiler: And law enforcement will have the heart to let you go through with it.]]

** Sam-I-Am and [[WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder Wander]] are good buddies due to being positive hat-wearing fellows who travel around making people smile. Bonus points of them traveling on a whimsical creature. [[spoiler:Then again Wander would probably be turned off by Sam being a scam artist...]]. So maybe [[WesternAnimation/MissingLink Sir Lionel Frost]] would be better suited for him.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Who would've thought that Adam Devine, the same person who voiced [[WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa Pizza Steve]], could give such an emotional delivery as Sam-I-Am?

** "They're the BADGUYS... duh!"[[note]]This show with two characters who identify themselves as "BADGUYS" debuted just as Music/BillieEilish's big hit "bad guy," [sic] the refrain of which is "I'm the ''baaaaaaad'' guy... duh." The timing was just too perfect for some fans ''not'' to put them together.[[/note]]

* WhatTheHellCastingAgency: A few have raised eyebrows at casting the thirty-two year-old Ilana Glazer as E.B., a little girl.

* AccidentalInnuendo: The way The Goat tastes the chickeraffe feather in "Goat," especially when he wraps his tongue around it, looks just a little too much like falatio.

** Terrance the pig sounds... interested in Michael's idea of a date when Sandra turns him down, saying, in a flirtatious voice, "Hey Michael, ''I'' like smooth jazz." Michael's pained, hesitant reaction to Sandra telling him to give Terrance box of chocolates he got her implies that Terrance is an AbhorrentAdmirer and that this situation has happened many times before. [[spoiler:The three of them are seen traveling together in "Anywhere." Are they in a polyamorous relationship or still JustFriends?]]

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Considering how unpopular most Dr. Seuss adaptations in the 21st century had been up to that point, nobody expected the creators to be able to stretch the very simple plot of a preschooler book known for only using 50 words into a full series. Once it premiered, it was immediately praised for doing just that, using the story of the book as a skeleton for a much broader story about not taking things at face value, as well as for its excellent animation and designs, all of which felt perfectly at home with Seuss's oeuvre.

* PeripharyDemographic: It's a cartoon based off a book for pre-schoolers yet has plenty of adult fans.

* WinTheCrowd: The first trailer assuaged any doubts about stretching ''Literature/GreenEggsAndHam'' into a TV series with it's [[SugarWiki/AwesomeArt gorgeous animation]] and hints of a proper AdaptationExpansion.

** Why is Sam so earnest on getting Guy together with Michellee? Does he honestly see them getting together? Is it a way to prove that he's a nice a friend? [[spoiler:Is it because that he knows that Guy won't stay with him forever once he learns the truth and is psychologically pushing Guy away so not to feel hurt anymore? And despite this, why does he act so close to Guy in the first place despite being a ShipperOnDeck?]]

* FriendlyFandoms: With ''WesternAnimation/{{Klaus}}'', another well-received, hand-drawn animated work about a small annoying guy and his bigger, grouchy companion which premiered on Creator/{{Netflix}} around the same time.

* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: A minority of fans ship [[DistaffCounterpart Sam and Gluntz]] (as [[PortmanteauCoupleName GLAM]]), who share exactly two lines of (rather impersonal) dialogue in the show proper.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: While Snerz is the main villain and has committed a plethora of bad deeds, he doesn’t come out of it a total jerk due to how his mother never once told him his childhood pet ran away because Snerz was smothering him and never tried to teach Snerz about how to properly handle animals. So Snerz’s cruelty was because of misguided parenting.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While Sam does end up doing the right thing in the end, sending Mr. Jenkins home and preventing Snerz from capturing him, and is willing to accept the consequences of his crime, he never directly apologizes to Guy for making him a patsy in his scheme. Though to be fair, simply giving an apology doesn’t necessarily make up for all everything Sam has done. Even Guy is the one apologizing to ''him'' for what is, for all intents and purposes, a lesser crime (his remark about Sam not belonging with his mother was mean, but it wasn't roping someone else into ''animal trafficking''). Though, considering how Sam is a pretty lonely guy who has a mental scar due to his mother leaving him and how he only resorts to scams in order to get by, it still isn’t something that Guy should’ve been done. So at the end of the day, you have mixed feelings about Sam.

* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: A minority of fans ship Sam and Gluntz (as [[PortmanteauCoupleName GLAM]]), due to being {{distaff counterpart}}s and the MasculineGirlFeminineBoy potential, even though they share exactly two lines of (rather impersonal) dialogue.

* InformedWrongness: Yes, Guy should not have told Sam that he didn't even fit his own mother, but are we really supposed to see him as being in the wrong when he chews out Sam for dragging him into ''animal smuggling''? With how Sam basically shrugged off Guy's calling him out as a minor setback, it's hard to blame Guy for being angry even if he went too far.

** When Guy passively mentions that he's a feminist, is that an actual character trait or is the show just [[WereStillRelevantDammit trying to be topical?]]. He sees EB and Michellee's value and calls Sam's plan to use EB's approval to get in good with Michellee "messed up," but reluctantly goes through with it nonetheless, which isn't very feminist.

* InformedWrongness: Yes, Guy should not have told Sam that he didn't even fit his own mother, but are we really supposed to see him as being in the wrong when he chews out Sam for dragging him into ''animal smuggling''? Between Sam's lack of remorse and how he basically shrugged off Guy's calling him out as a minor setback, it's hard to blame Guy for being angry even if he went too far.
