* NightmareFuel: "Lost and Found" shows the very real fear of being lost in a foreign country without learning its main language. Buster gets separated from the friends he made in Guanajuato and tries to ask for directions from the people around him including a police officer, but since he doesn't understand Spanish, they are of no help. Luckily, his friends manage to find him, but he is shaken up by this experience that he later has a NightmareSequence about it.

** In the second Nashville episode, the Kurdish girl Buster and D.W. (who's in town for a family reunion) meet talks about her father, who's currently serving in Iraq as a translator. The episode aired in early 2005, [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror when the Iraq War was still going on.]]

This one seems to be a real-life example.


** The reaction to "Sugartime!" makes the show feel like one, as same-sex parenting, even in children's media, is no longer seen as taboo.

* HilariousInHindsight: The "Wow, that's a lot of moms!" controversy in "Sugartime!" has become this, now that in the parent show showed Mr. Ratburn having a gay wedding in 2019. This also doubles as HeartwarmingInHindsight as that episode garnered far less controversy than the one from this show. Most definitely due to society being more accepting of LGBT representation in media years later.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: A documentary-style series telling stories about kids in North America is bound to get a little out of date as time goes on. Some examples include:
** In "A Sense of Direction", Buster visits the Sears Tower, which has since been renamed the Willis Tower
** Many landmarks in various places like Los Angeles don't exist anymore.
** In the first Nashville episode, the idea of a kid going to an expensive studio to record her original song seems a tad excessive, given the technology to record a song is freely available from one's own house.

* SpecialEffectFailure: Oftentimes the effect to put Buster into the live action footage will look pretty clunky. With the family picture in "Sugartime!" being one of the uglier examples.

* SoOkayItsAverage: ''Postcards from Buster'' is very much overshadowed by ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''. The show is often considered merely okay, with neither many dedicated fans nor active haters. It's simply par for the course as an EdutainmentShow.
