  • Defictionalization:
    • Since 2000, a full-size replica of Theodore named Theodore Too has been giving harbour tours in real-life Halifax.
    • In July 2020, it was announced they plan to sell Theodore Too.
  • He Also Did: It's no coincidence that the show's producer, Robert Cardona, previously worked on both Thomas & Friends and TUGS, shows that also use Sentient Vehicles as its premise.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes:
    • In the United States a number of VHS releases were put out, containing at least three episodes each, but they all went out of print when PBS lost the broadcast rights to the series and right before the Theodore intellectual property was bought by Classic Media. No DVD releases have ever been released, and there have been multiple fan campaigns to get the series out, all to no avail.
    • In Canada, VHS cassettes had only two episodes per tape, and they're hard to track down.
    • The show was put up on Netflix Belgium in early 2015, but it has since been delisted.
  • The Merch: ERTL and BRIO produced toys of Theodore and his friends, as well as playsets of the Big Harbor. There was also a series of children's books published by Random House.
