Types of Episodes
Normal
These episodes are basically set in our world, but a more cartoony version of it. For instance, anthropomorphic animals might exist, characters might have disproportionate bodies and/or weird-coloured hair or fur, and devices might work a little differently than their real-world counterparts, but it's otherwise just like our world.Normal characters (note, these can appear in an episode of any type and not change the genre):
- Peg
- Cat
- The Pirates (borderline, but pirates do exist in real life)
- The Pirates' Parrot
- The Teens
- Peg's mother
- The farmer
- The Neighbour Ladies
- The 100 Chickens
- Ramone
- Mrs. Sheep
- Baby Fox
- Blue-Striped Bird

Sci-fi
These episodes involve things like aliens and futuristic technology (not just unusual versions of existing technology such as Ramone's pebble-powered plane) and might be set in outer-space. If an episode is set on Earth, but has an alien in it, the alien must have a prominent role and its being an alien must be a plot point. Otherwise, it's unsorted (see below).Sci-fi characters:
- Richard
- Big Mouth
Sci-fi episodes:
- "The Space Creature Problem" (set in space, features aliens and spaceships)
- "The Doohickey Problem" (also set in space and featuring aliens and spaceships)
- "The Potty Problem" (while set on Earth, Big Mouth is a prominent character and the main source of conflict is that he's an alien and therefore doesn't know how to use bathrooms)
Fantasy
Episodes which either take place in a generic fantasy world with things like dragons and mermaids, or the universe of one or several fairy tales or (in Romeo and Juliet's case) Shakesperean plays.Fantasy characters:
- The Mermaid
- The Three Bears
- Pig's brothers (since together, they make the Three Little Pigs)
- The Giants
- The Three Billy Goats Gruff
- Romeo
- Juliet

- "The Golden Pyramid Problem" (generic fantasy setting, features the mermaid and a dragon)
- "The Three Bears Problem" (features the bears, the pigs, and the billy goats as protagonists)

- Epidermis
Historical episodes:
- "The Dinosaur Problem" (set in dinosaur times)
- "The Beethoven Problem" (set in 1808)

Unsorted
These episodes don't really have a defined genre. They might play out like a normal episode but with a brief appearance from an alien, character from the past, or fantasy character. It might border on sci-fi by having a futuristic piece of technology but otherwise be a normal episode, or feature an alien but its being an alien isn't a plot point. There might also be a whole mishmash of different characters from different genres.Unsorted episodes:
- "The Messy Room Problem" (mostly normal, but with a brief appearance from Big Mouth)
- "The Birthday Cake Problem" (mostly normal but features Beethoven, the dinosaurs, and two aliens as background characters)
- "The Honey Problem" (mostly normal, but features the Giants as background characters and features a high-fi device)
- "The Baby Problem" (mostly normal but features a high-tech device)
- "The Halloween Problem" (Richard is a protagonist, but his being an alien isn't a major plot point.)
- "The George Washington Problem" (mainly a historical episode set in the year 1776, but Big Mouth, another alien, and the Baby T-Rex also feature)
- "The Allergy Problem" (mainly a normal episode, but Einstein and Marie Curie crop up at the end.)
- "I Do What I Can: the Musical" (mostly a normal episode, but the mermaid and Big Mouth play minor roles)
