Added DiffLines:

* SoOkayItsAverage: The ''TUGS'' segments are the main reason people remember what is otherwise a standard run-of-the-mill preschooler show.
* SpecialEffectsFailure: The editing for the ''TUGS'' segments is rather spotty, with the time of day and the placement of characters relative to one another switching between shots in what is meant to be the same scene. While this is understandable since [[ShortRunners the original show only gave so much to work with]], what is less understandable is the roundabout way the segments handled the characters dancing; the footage is reversed and replayed, with ''the current of the water and direction of any smoke present changing with it''.

* BrokenBase: The quality of the show, specifically the ''TUGS'' segments. While it’s almost universally agreed that ''WesternAnimation/{{Tugs}}'' is superior, most are split on whether or not the TUGS segments are good in their own right. They’re either good, or at the very least harmless, or a complete and utter butchery of a good show.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: It didn't do well in the United States because it aired on TLC's [[Creator/TLC Ready, Set, Learn!]], a very low-rated preschool block, and was hated in other countries because it was seen as an inferior version of TUGS, the show which it adapts. But in Jamaica, it was one of the highest-rated programs on CVM Television, running longer than it did in the United States.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Macekre}}: The ''TUGS'' segments mishmash several unrelated scenes together, so one scene could be at sunset, and the very next could be at day. They were also prone to reusing footage from "Regatta" and "Trapped" the most. ''TUGS'' isn't really suited for a preschool audience, so they also had to {{Bowdlerise}} it a lot, which many felt robbed the show of what made it so great in the first place.
* RetroactiveRecognition: The voice of the titular Salty, Rhys Huber, would later go on to voice Syaoran Li on ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'', which also had a divisive North American localization.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None


* {{Macekre}}: This is the reason why most ''WesternAnimation/{{TUGS}}'' hate this show, as the ''TUG'' segments changed and outright removed many of the dark scenes from the original, replaced the original soundtrack, changed the voice cast (as well as the gender of some characters) and changed the tone to be more lighthearted and kid-friendly, resulting in a show that has almost nothing in common with the original British show.
