1* ActingForTwo: Ross and Janice voice several major and minor characters, and their kids Vanessa and Michael voice numerous background characters.
2* AdoredByTheNetwork: When Italian network K2 started airing the series in 2015, it quickly became a network favorite, and the channel became mostly reruns of this, ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' and, beginning in April 2019, ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramarama''.
3* CrossdressingVoices: Janice Karman voices some of the young male characters, such as Kevin, Neville, Basil, and others. She also continues voicing Theodore.
4* MoneyDearBoy: A now-deleted post on CH Greenblatt's Tumblr claimed that Nickelodeon isn't too fond of this series, only airing it for the money.
5* MissingEpisode:
6** As of 2021, Creator/{{Nicktoons}} skips season 3.
7** Creator/ParamountPlus, in addition to skipping season 3, lacks three other episodes; those being "Summer Camp" / "Blabber Mouth", "Wacky Wednesday" / "The Chipmunk and the Catfish", and "Time Flies" / "Prank Calls". Currently, Season 1 and Season 4 has been removed, though Season 5 was added. [[AvertedTrope Luckily, Season 3 and Season 4 were added to Netflix,]] but Season 1 remains on no services currently.
8* TheOtherDarrin:
9** Ross Bagdasarian Jr. and Janice Karman's daughter Vanessa took over the role of Eleanor from her mother while Karman still keeps the roles of Theodore, Brittany, and Jeanette.
10** Miss Miller is also now voiced by Karman due to the 2008 death of her original voice actress, Dody Goodman.
11* RecycledScript:
12** "Principal Interest" is very similar to "Romancing Miss Stone," an episode from the 1983-series--one of the main differences between the two episodes is that Dave ultimately doesn't end up with the principal, for two reasons: 1.) Dave and the principal aren't romantically interested in each other, and 2.) The principal turns out to already be married.
13** "Wax Dave" is also similar to the 1983 series episode "Whatever Happened to Dave Seville?".
14* RoleReprise:
15** Ross Bagdasarian Jr. and Janice Karman reprise their respective roles as Alvin, Simon, and Dave, and Theodore, Brittany, and Jeanette. The only exception is Eleanor, who is voiced by Ross and Janice's daughter Vanessa.
16** In the Latin American Spanish dub, all the characters reprise their respective roles from the live-action films.
17* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Midway through the second season in November 2016, Nick suddenly pulled the series from its regular timeslot and replaced it with reruns of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', with the only reruns being at 6 and 6:30 AM on weekends. The series now only airs on Nickelodeon for new episodes, while all reruns are relegated to Nicktoons. To make matters worse, the final three episodes aired on Nicktoons, instead of the main Nickelodeon channel.
18* WrittenByCastMember: Janice is credited for writing most of the episodes.
