Added DiffLines:

* ADayInTheLimelight: "Eight Planets" stars recurring character Humpty Dumpty, while the MGC are absent.


Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Baa Baa, Teddy, and Eep may be a sheep, bear, and mouse respectively, but they have human faces and hands. It is unclear if they are {{Half Human Hybrid}}s or if they are meant to be interpreted as full animals.


Added DiffLines:

* BaseballEpisode: The gang plays baseball in "Take Me Out to the Ball Game".


Added DiffLines:

* CaringGardener: Mary is a gardener who takes good care of her plants. She mostly gardens flowers, but she has also planted fruits and vegetables.


Added DiffLines:

* FriendToAllLivingThings:
** Although Bo Peep often loses her sheep, she still loves them very much.
** Mary is as good with animals as she is with plants, and is practically revered by them.


Added DiffLines:

* KidsDrivingCars: Mary has a car which she drives in "Driving In My Car".
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Two notable duos fall into this trope. Jack has blue hair and Mary has a pink dress. Eep has blue fur and Bo Peep has pink hair.
* ThePrankster: Jack likes playing practical jokes, most notably in "Swimming".
* PublicDomainCharacter: The characters are all based on nursery rhymes, which are alluded to in their names. Eep the Mouse is based on "Hickory Dickory Dock", by the way, which his name doesn't immediately indicate.
* RoseHairedSweetie: The pink-haired Bo Peep is soft-spoken and gentle.
* StockAnimalDiet: Eep the Mouse loves cheese.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Inverted. There are only two guys in the club, Jack and Eep.
* VagueAge: Mary, Jack, Eep, and Bo Peep are obviously kids, but Baa Baa and Teddy are ambiguous. They are played by adults, but they still behave like children.
