More fitting subtrope. Since Bonkers is a more obscure series, I figured mentioning that more obviously would help.


* CompanyCrossReferences:
** One episode is called "Awesome Possums", referencing ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}''.
** In "Smitten With a Kitten," Chilly suggests that the reason a toy kitten isn't able to talk is because a [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 sea witch stole her voice]].

According to Snide 2012 from the Doc Mc Stuffins wiki site, "The Lady in the Lake" didn't feature any original songs, so that makes seven.


* LaughingAtYourOwnJokes: Stuffy did one in "Shark-Style Toothache" about a clown fish that tastes funny which Lambie didn't seem to find that joke very funny, but Mr. Chomps did find it pretty funny.
-->'''Stuffy''': What did one shark say to the other shark after he ate a clown fish? This tastes funny. Ha ha ha! Get it? Clown fish. Tastes funny. Ha ha ha! He's a clown fish and he's-- That one always gets me.
-->'''Lambie''': Stuffy, that wasn't a very nice joke. You heard Mr. Chomp. He wouldn't hurt anyone.
-->'''Mr. Chomps''': Actually, I thought it was pretty funny.



** "The Big Sleepover", "Willow's Wonky Whiskers", "Get-Well Gus Gets Well", "Lambie Stuffy Switcharoo", "The Emergency Plan" and "The Doc [=McStuffins=] Christmas Special" were the only six episodes that didn't use any of original songs.

** Also, Bronty acts like one of those 6 year olds that are wired on orange sodas. You know, kinda hooked on energy drinks. And he is even more of a Keet than Stuffy is, which is saying something.

The second season started in mid-2013, and ended on Spring 2015. The third season started on Summer 2015, and ended on Spring 2016. The fourth season premieres officially on July 30, 2016, though the premiere has already been made available through Disney Junior's online/mobile service. The new season introduces a new concept to the show: [=McStuffinsville=] and a toy hospital in which Doc can help out not just the toys from her neighborhood, but toys from all around the world. Thanks to a [[http://www.whio.com/news/entertainment/why-adults-are-trying-keep-7-year-old-doc-mcstuffi/nrrzy/ celebrity campaign]] the series has been green-lit for a fifth season, making it the first Disney show all together to [[BreakingOldTrends break the standard limit of]] [[FourIsDeath four seasons.]] The show is created by Chris Nee, and is the second Disney show to be created by a woman. As of September 2017, it has the distinction of being the longest running Disney Junior show in terms of total episodes since the network changed to that name from Playhouse Disney.

* CaretakerReversal: In "Doctoring the Doc", Doc, who is usually TheMedic to her LivingToys, catches the flu. As such, her toys try to be the ones to take care of ''her'' for a change, helping her get water and trying to diagnose her.








Added DiffLines:

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Most episodes feature Doc solving a problem involving one of the LivingToys, but in "Doctoring the Doc", she doesn't get a chance to because [[SickEpisode she has the flu]] and none of the toys have a problem.


Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Sometimes, the first sign something is wrong is when someone acts unusually:
** In one episode, Ricardo, who is usually a very fast toy race car, can't drive. Downplayed though, as he's not broken; he just needs to recharge.
** In "Doctoring the Doc", the toys become worried when Doc isn't being energetic like usual, and makes a mistake (asking for the tweezers instead of the otoscope) despite usually not making mistakes. It turns out that she's behaving that way [[SickEpisode because she has the flu]].
** Downplayed in "Tea Party Tantrum", where the usually-cheerful Susie being cranky is a sign that ''something'' is wrong, but it's only SleepDeprivation; not anything serious.

* AfraidOfNeedles: Boomer the soccer ball hates being filled up because he's afraid of the pump. The scenario works out suspiciously similar to a kid being afraid of a hypodermic needle, but that's probably the intended effect anyways. In the book version, ''Boomer Gets His Bounce Back'', Boomer specifically states that he's scared of needles and Doc tells him that she's always scared when he has to get a shot with a needle from her doctor, but her mother comes and helps her feel brave.
