Busterfield's death
- So, the library is called the Barnaby B. Busterfield III Memorial Public Library, right? Well, you have to be dead in order to have a "Memorial" anything, however, in a few episodes, Busterfield is explicitly stated to be the library's founder, meaning he established it before he died, supported by Cleo stating in "Poetry Day" that he held the first Poetry day 100 years before. Furthermore, that episode was made in 2001, meaning that the first Poetry Day would have been in 1901 (assuming the show's episodes take place in the same year that they aired), however, Busterfield states in one episode that he "hasn't moved since 1892," so if it is in fact a "Memorial" library, he would have been dead before 1901.
- Well Cleo says the map in “Step By Step” was written 100 years ago and that episode aired in 2003. If Buster states has hasn’t moved since 1892, it means he might be paralyzed. He says it in the episode, “Icarus’s Wings” from 2001. Either they’re going be release year or the year when filming. Busterfield might’ve died in 1902. Because it is about 100 years ago in between 2001-03, 2002, and 2002 might’ve been the year where the former mentioned episode was in production.
Busterfield and Pigeons' disappearance
- What happened to Busterfield and the Pigeons after the fourth season? Out of universe, it was because of budget cuts behind the scenes, but what happened to them in the context of the show? Did the Lion Family move libraries and the Pigeon's didn't want to leave without Busterfield?
Pigeons' relationship and age
- Speaking of Pigeons, there are two questions regarding them Pigeons, what's their relationship like and how old are they supposed to be anyway? In one episode said that they were friends but there are scenes that deconstruct this, and in the Farmer Ken episode, it says that they're supposed to be around Lionel's age...but they're voices don't really match the age of a seven-year-old, then again neither does Lionel's.
- Take children on WordGirl or Sheen. They are kids despite sounding adult-ish. It's common in cartoons or puppetry. Lionel and Leona act more like human children than lion cubs and their parents act like human parents than adult lions (despite sleeping on rocks where as the kids sleep in hammocks). The pigeons don't even live there, they come visit.
First Cliff Hanger
- Why hasn't the first Adventure of Cliff Hanger never shown?
Statue's eyes
- What's with the statue's eyes in Grown, Mane, Grow! when Lionel tells Theo to stop showing off his mane (at this point
)?- Maybe a ghost controls while no one is looking?
Chief's Misunderstanding
- Why does the fire chief does not get that the fire is just an "illustration fire"?
That Book Cleo Reminds "The Chap With Caps" Of
- What is the book that Cleo said "The Chap With Caps" reminded her of (this part), Caps For Sale? They have shown real books on the show.
Babs' Cap Throw
- How is Babs Caplan capable of throwing her cap near the main desk that's kinda far away and land in front of Lionel?
