Editing Peppa Pig


#*While the rest of the voice acting pretty okay, some can get pretty irritating and bland.
#*In some episodes, there is some laughable dialogue such as, "''I'm '''BORED'''..''" and "'''''ME too'''''" from "Garden Games"
#*In earlier seasons, Mummy Sheep uses the same exact animal sounds as Suzy, which feels extremely awkward as the animal sound is much higher pitched than Mummy Sheep’s normal voice.
#*In ''Peppa Pig Tales'', '''none''' of the original cast reprises their roles.
#Some of the characters don't resemble their real life counterparts, with the head shapes of the pig characters in particular looking more like a hair dryer, a whistleblower, a turbo, or a shell than that of an actual pig.
# The character designs and animation, while both simplistic, kind of cute and not too bad, are quite sloppily drawn, looking like they were made in some budget paint program. Because of that, the animation is stilted and stiff most of the time.
#*In earlier episodes, the animation is '''abysmal''' since it's extremely stiff, stitled, laggy, cheap, lazy, and looks like a PowerPoint presentation.
#*The crying looks rather unusual and pretty unrealistic since it looks more like a garden sprinkler than how it'd typically look in a cartoon. Also, it happens very frequently (mostly with George).
#**It also gets abused in some episodes such as "Digging Up The Road", "Edmond Elephant's Birthday", "George's Friend", “[[The Noisy Night (Peppa Pig)|The Noisy Night]]" (the most infamous example) and "The Baby Piggy".
#*They also look outdated in their aesthetic and look more like children's drawings (albeit intentionally, as the show was meant to be seen from a child's perspective):
#**The arms and legs of the main characters are long thin sticks, with the feet looking like upside down L's and hands that look like trees.
#**The lines of the characters' outlines overlap. 
#**Perhaps most infamously is the characters' faces, due to how they never look directly at the screen and as such, their faces are always viewed from the sides.
#***Since only the sides of the characters' faces are shown, it gives of an impression that the characters have two eyes on both sides of their faces, therefore emerging a theory that they have four eyes and four nostrils. This was parodied in the "Jobs" episode of [[Don't Hug Me I'm Scared|''Don't Hug Me I'm Scared'']].
#****This is further evident by how in the case of characters who wear glasses like Daddy Pig, said glasses don't visibly reach over their noses.
#****And besides, it makes the show 2D because none of the episodes reveal the face from the front. But for some reason, the real-life Peppa Pig toys reveal that their faces are facing forward, rendering this part of the show's art direction meaningless.
#**The characters' clothes are just shirts, there’s no sleeves when worn. and even worse, they wear their underwear '''IN PUBLIC!!!''' (except when wearing fancy clothes or overalls)
#***In the episode "Washing" short sleeves randomly appear on Peppa's "dress".
#***In the episode "Potty Training" viewers can see that George's shirt is in half, this proves characters don’t wear pants.
#**This is also quite unacceptable for its time of release on 2004, as both ''Bleach'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' came out the same year before ''Peppa Pig'', and both look miles better than this.
#*The houses have a generic design (being a two level house with a door).
#**The houses even flip depending on an episode.
#**Also, every location is on top of a hill. 
#*The paragraphs are gibberish, examples include the writing Mummy Pig was doing in the episode "Mummy Pig at Work".
#**This could easily be bypassed by having a squiggly line to represent the writing much like in other media. Or maybe if they wanted to go the extra mile, put '''actual English writing''' rather than gibberish.
#*The locomotive looks inaccurate to real life locomotives, proving that the makers of the show didn't do any research:
#**It has a steering wheel. which in real life, locomotives obviously don’t have.
#***What purpose was this? To go around switches? To prevent derailment?
#**The train is mechanical, instead of running on steam.
#***This carries it out information that the firebox is replaced with a control panel.
#**The train doesn’t even have a whistle, instead having the "whistle" sound coming out of the funnel.
#**The train doesn't even have a tender or tank.
#**The train doesn't even have valve gears.
#**The coaches don't even have buffers. 
#**Its dining and sleeping cars (coaches/carriages in British UK) have doors, which is just absurd.
#***It even has non-existent cars, such as a playing carriage and a cinema carriage, seen in Peppa Pig Tales episode "Cars, Buses, and Trains".
#***If the train has only 3 carriages, Then why are there four? '''''In the words of Rob Paulsen "Who built this train?".'''''
#*The show's credits are absurdly lazy, at the beginning, there are just a list of people who voice the characters. 
#*This proves that the art designers never learned to draw or did research.
#It has very little common logic. Even though this is a preschool show, that does not excuse how nonsensical its logic is. 
#*Miss Rabbit (and her father Grampy Rabbit) has a lot of jobs, in real life, if she missed her jobs, Miss Rabbit would either learn to live frugally with many restrictions, or quickly would become a burden on others. 
#**Also, Miss Rabbit would technically pass out and die, due to working almost every day with no sleep. Yes, really.
#**How does Miss Rabbit handle her jobs? Does she have super speed? does she clone herself? '''nobody knows'''.
#*In one episode, the whole town is "flooded", and Granny and Grandpa Pig bring their boat on the flood, in real life, boats would break and crash in floods, yes boats work on water, but not ''floodwater''.
#*In one episode, it "snows" in the summer, which is just absurd.
#*In one episode, Peppa and her friends go to the zoo, even though all the characters in the show (except the pirate, the Queen of England, and Santa Claus/Father Christmas) are '''animals''', which makes absolutely no sense.
#**Although it certainly wasn't the creators' intention, this leads to the theory that the caged animals are wild and not sapient, but the characters are sapient animals, that is, the caged animals are '''slaves'''.
#Most of the morals are either poorly handled, shoved down kids' throats, clichéd or nonexistent in most of the episodes, not to mention some of them are very dangerous and irresponsible.
#*Peppa and George jumping on the bed in every morning scene to wake up Mummy and Daddy Pig encourages kids to do the same, which can be dangerous to the people and it could potentially run the risk of breaking the bed.
#*"Sun, Sea and Snow" encourages swimming in cold water at a snowy "beach", which can be dangerous.
#*"[[Mister Skinnylegs (Peppa Pig)|Mister Skinnylegs]]" and "[[Spider Web (Peppa Pig)|Spider Web]]" encourages children to '''play with spiders, insects, arachnids, and other kinds of anthropods'''. That's a terrible moral, because not every spider, insect, arachnid, or anthropod in the world is safe to play with. Especially in Australia, wow, several of them can kill an adult quickly. Imagine what they would do to a <u>'''child'''</u>! And even then, many spiders will '''bite''' anyone near them if they feel threatened, although a small number of spiders are deadly. Thankfully, Both episodes were banned from airing on Australian television for having this moral, although DVDs containing these episodes still exist there.
#*"Richard Rabbit Comes to Play" encourages kids to destroy their bedroom and make a mess. They also encourage older siblings to be selfish towards younger siblings. They also encourage someone to invite their friend(s) to one up somebody else (which would be revisited in a ''The Loud House'' episode "Friendzy")
#*"[[Edmond Elephant's Birthday (Peppa Pig)|Edmond Elephant's Birthday]]" teaches kids to always cry nonstop for losing at a game and being a sore loser for it.
#*"[[Pedro's Cough (Peppa Pig)|Pedro’s Cough]]" teaches kids to laugh at their parents for drinking the medicine. They also encourage kids to stay in school when sick with a contagious disease.
#*"[[George Catches a Cold (Peppa Pig)|George Catches A Cold]]" teaches kids that rain can cause sickness when in reality, it can't. Sure, there are some places that cause sickness by air pollution, acid rain and forest fires, but they still don't count.
#*"George’s Friend" teaches kids that taking all of someone else's toys is considered "sharing". Not only that, but they claim it’s okay to destroy someone’s personal belongings, '''which is considered as criminal mischief.'''
#*"International Day" has several terrible morals:
#**If someone wants to play soon, instead of waiting, fight with whoever is playing.
#**When someone is to see an argument, do not tell the person in charge. Join the discussion.
#** Without a doubt, the worst moral of all: When Madame Gazelle asks if the countries of the world fight, Peppa asks: "don't they?" Madame Gazelle replies: "Of course not!" '''This means that the creators want children to think that countries never had conflicts with each other, like World War I, the Vietnam War, the Israel-Hamas War, the Russian-Ukraine War, and World War II''', for example. It gets even more ridiculous when one is to consider that it was made in the [[w:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]], where they have Remembrance Day, '''a day just to remember the soldiers who died''' in those World Wars.
#*** This can however can be somewhat excused because the main environment Peppa Pig takes place in is in Kindergarten, so telling the children the fact that countries do fight can make someone feel upset or scared, but still.
#** It is also offensive and racist to people living in the countries that Peppa and her friends dress up as.
#Most of the music and songs, such as "The Bing Bong Song" aren't any better since they are very repetitive and obnoxious.
#*The theme song is mostly repeated as background music.
#Despite the characters being animals, there are many incidents were they sporadically have visible teeth, which looks VERY out of place (as they aren’t humans), weird and creepy.
#Some episodes such as "Not Very Well", "[[George Catches a Cold (Peppa Pig)|George Catches a Cold]]" and "Pedro's Cough" haven't aged well for...various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
#Mediocre writing that's confusing and makes the show feel like the writers aren’t trying too hard to write good stories at all.
#*The show has now been running for a very long time to the point where the writers are clearly running out of ideas. For example, the Season 7 episode "Monkey Has a Cough" is just a pretend-play of a toy having a cough. These episodes are made just to milk the show to death. Likewise, some stories were wasted potential.
#'''Quantity over quality:''' Like with ''[[Cocomelon]]'', ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'', ''[[Ridiculousness]]'', and ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks (2015)]]'', it has lasted for way too long despite the overall reception with the show lasting for '''7 seasons, 394 episodes''', and a lifespan of '''20 years so far!''' This shows how blind [[Nickelodeon (2011-present)|Nickelodeon]], [[Discovery Kids Latin America (Brazilian feed, 2021-present)|Discovery Kids]], Entertainment One and Channel 5 are to the criticisms of the show.
#The pacing is broken or inconsistent. It goes either too fast or too slow that made the show boring and rushed. This could be because each episode is a mere 5 minutes long, not leaving much breathing room. 
#Despite being a preschool show, there are some parts that feel too intense for its target audiences. For example, in "The Carnival", the scene in which Mr. Potato almost ends up getting killed (or turned into French Fries) by the blades of Ms. Rabbit's helicopter when she first flies up in it to rescue him is a very intense moment, at least to the preschool audience, despite no such legitimate scene happening. Even then, it's rather disturbing that someone almost died in such a horrific way. Another example of a tense moment is in "Parachute Jump" when Daddy Pig falls out of a plane without a parachute on. Even though Mummy Pig catches him and him crashing through the school roof does break his fall, this is something that since he was the one with no parachute, Daddy Pig could have '''fallen to his death'''.
#This show has become such a cash cow for Entertainment One, [[Nickelodeon (2011-present)|Nickelodeon]], [[Discovery Kids Latin America (Brazilian feed, 2021-present)|Discovery Kids]] and Channel 5 that it has gotten to an extent where the show commonly introduces new characters, vehicles, and locations just to sell toys and nothing else much like ''[[PAW Patrol|PAW Patrol]]'', ''[[Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service]]'' and [[Fireman Sam (CGI era, seasons 6-present)|''Fireman Sam'' since Season 6]].
#*Their way of handling the YouTube channels aren't much better and might be even worse than the series itself. In fact, '''there’s''' '''too many channels that are no different each other and only exist just to farm cash.'''
#*Also, Discovery Kids went downhill mainly because of Peppa Pig, where it's spammed everyday. Worst of all, Peppa Pig replaces Doki The Dog as the new official Discovery Kids mascot and Peppa Pig does not have the same charm as Doki, especially since the latter teaches very good morals to children which Peppa does barely have any good morals. Even worse, Doki no longer appears in Discovery Kids in any promos or bumpers thanks to Peppa Pig.
#'''False advertising:''' ''Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experiences'' and its sequel ''Peppa Pig: Festival of Fun'' are marketed as "films", but they are just '''''<u>compilations of 10 or so Peppa Pig episodes with live-action-puppet clips spliced in-between.</u>''''' And as a result of this, there has never been a proper theatrical film adaptation of this show even after all this time.
#Due to poor and/or confusing writing, the show has a fair share of mediocre or bad episodes. (See notable bad episodes)
#*At one moment, they once even cluttered the Terrible TV Shows & Episodes Wiki with their own individual pages which caused a ban on niche shows to have their pages here seemingly for good. But as of now, the ban has been revoked and niche shows were allowed there again.
#**Some of these episodes also count as filler as they don't add much to the plot. Also, the events never got mentioned nor brought up again with the characters acting like the events didn't happen at all. Heck, one can skip these bad episodes without missing everything at all!
#Some channels are obsessed with this cartoon, like Nick Jr. (block and channel) and Discovery Kids.  Peppa Pig downright monopolised Nick Jr to the point where Nick Jr Too (the side network to Nick Jr UK) was even renovated multiple times to become '''Nick Jr. Peppa''' for a brief while, much like Nicktoons UK rebranding to NickSpongeBob at times. 
#Every speaking character's last name is absurdly lazy and terrible. It's as if our surnames were "Human" or "Homo sapiens".
#*Every parents' first name is "Mummy" and "Daddy", It’s as if all our names were "Mummy/Daddy Human".
#The annoying use of the "Doot Doot" sound. There is a Soft one, a hard one and a medium one.

==Redeeming Qualities That Can Jump In Muddy Puddles==
#The character's designs are cute despite being poorly drawn.
#*The art style can also be cute and decent at times.
#*Over the seasons, the art style has improved, with backgrounds and props, along with the animation itself, getting more detailed and less rough.
#Sometimes, it does have decent (or at least passable), funny, and/or cute moments here and there. The quotes and even the dialogue too (despite some being laughable or mean-spirited) can be funny at times.
#*The jokes are also passable at times.
#*In later seasons (season 6 and 7 to be specific) the humor did get better, though they are unfunny or a hit-or-miss at times.
#*Some scenes are also worth a laugh, like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jil0WCh_UoQ this scene].
#Most of the voice acting is passable or decent:
#*Brian Blessed does a great job at voicing Grampy Rabbit.
#*Despite being annoying as the narrator, John Sparkes at least did a good job at voicing the characters he plays (though sometimes it can come off grating).
#**Also, the narrator provides some good audio descriptions for blind people.
#**The rest of the voice acting pretty okay and despite some flaws, the young voice actresses do a decent job voicing Peppa Pig (for the ''most'' part)
#There are several good/decent episodes:
#*[[Thunderstorm (Peppa Pig)|Thunderstorm]]
#*Very Hot Day
#*My Birthday Party
#*Pancakes
#*Bubbles (which positively started season 2)
#*Pen Pal
#*Painting
#*Nature Trail
#*School Camp
#*Secrets
#*Dressing Up
#*George's Birthday
#*Fancy Dress Party
#*The New Car
#*The Camper Van
#*Cleaning the Car
#*Daddy's Movie Camera
#*The School Fete
#*Shake, Rattle, and Bang
#*Basketball
#*Scooters
#*Daddy Puts Up a Picture
#*Muddy Puddles (which started the show on a decent note)
#*The Olden Days
#*Mr. Potato Comes to Town
#*Potato City
#*Gym Class
#*Miss Rabbit's Day Off
#*School Play (which ended season 1 on a good manner)
#*Children's Festival/Muddy Festival
#*Most of the season 6 (expect Funny Music, Bat and Ball, and Please and Thank You) and 7 episodes
#**Speaking of Season 7, The American Holiday and Cruise Ship Holiday Saga is an interesting series of episodes and they started Season 7 and Karrot's era of the show, respectively, on a positive outlook.
#**Roller Disco is a pretty neat episode that revolves around Peppa and her friends roller skating and it's also considered to be one of the best episodes in the show as well.
#*In The Future
#*Grandpa Pig's Birthday
#*Mummy Rabbit's Bump
#*Swimming Lessons (a decent way to end season 7)
#The later seasons did improve a little bit, with there being less controversial and mean-spirited episodes compared to most of them from the earlier seasons, although they didn't improve by much.
#*The writers are beginning to add more original plots, although some are rehashed (i.e. Lotte Llama from Delphine Donkey, and "Winter Games" from "Snowy Mountain"), while others are made to milk the show and the writing (although not as bad as the early seasons) is still pretty mediocre.
#There are a handful of likable (or at least tolerable) characters in the show such as George Pig, Mummy Pig (for the most part), Daddy Pig (most of the time since he is not mean-spirited at all) and most of Peppa's friends (aside from Suzy), despite some being underdeveloped.
#*Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, while generic and clichéd parents, do a decent (though not perfect) job at parenting Peppa and George (compared to Caillou's parents from ''Caillou'').
#**Speaking of Daddy Pig, he is very sympathetic thanks to Peppa always being mean to him and fat-shaming him.
#**They do have personalities of their own (especially Mummy Pig) and they do give Peppa her comeuppance at times.
#*George, despite being annoying when he cries, can be quite cute at times. And much like Daddy Pig, he can be treated as sympathetic due to Peppa bullying him most of the time.
#*Peppa's friends such as Emily Elephant, Danny Dog, Candy Cat, Zoe Zebra, Rebecca Rabbit, Freddy Fox, Wendy Wolf, Molly Mole and Gerald Giraffe are pretty interesting characters who are shown to be good friends with the Pig Family.
#*Mandy Mouse is very energetic, cheerful and likable. Despite being on a wheelchair most of the time, she's actually really fast and shares a great chemistry with Peppa. She's also a good representation for people with disabilities.
#*Peppa can be likable (or tolerable) at times when she's not mean-spirited. Plus in some episodes, she is shown to reconcile with Daddy Pig and/or George. She also massively improved in Season 7 and can admittedly be cute sometimes (though normally when she is not bratty). Sometimes, she does get her comeuppance. Especially since she's far more tolerable than her Vietnamese rip-off, Wolfoo from [[Wolfoo|the series of the same name]].
#*Suzy can also be tolerable and is admittedly funny at times.
#*Delphine Donkey and Lotte Llama are pretty interesting and unique characters, being good representations for people who speak both French and German and are novices at speaking English.
#*Penny Polar Bear is also another pretty interesting and unique character with two mothers, Mummy Polar Bear and Doctor Polar Bear respectively. Speaking of the two mothers, they're also good representations for people who are lesbians, and Penny's relationship with her two mothers is pretty heartwarming.
#*The other characters (such as Miss Rabbit or Madame Gazelle) can be also be interesting and/or likable at times while Grampy Rabbit can also be considered the best part of this show too. His wife, Granny Rabbit can be an interesting character. Also compared to Peppa and Suzy, most all not that mean-spirited at all.
#*The characteristics are passable at times.
#The instrumental version of the theme song is tolerable.
#*Other music (such as "The International Day" song) can be also decent and/or catchy at times.
#While being rare, it does teach good morals and/or lessons at times but this is in the case of most of the good or decent episodes (such as "Thunderstorm", "Cleaning the Car" and "Secrets").
#The worldbuilding is decent at times.
#Some of the backgrounds are passable.
#Thankfully, it at least doesn't try too hard to be hip, cool, and rad with the kids unlike most modern media that is [[Bluey|good]] or [[Caillou's New Adventures|bad]] (although that doesn't stop it from using the [["It's made for kids"]] excuse).

==Reception==
Back when ''Peppa Pig'' was first released, it initially received good reviews. However, people started to point out flaws with the show later in its run, and it has started to receive more of a mixed reception from parents, critics and audiences, while cartoon reviewers on YouTube mostly gave it a negative feedback, including PhantomStrider and Caddicarus. Both have criticized the show for its characters, lack of common sense, nonexistent and/or rancid morals, Daddy Pig being fat-shamed by Peppa and the family, the narrator constantly pointing out the obvious, and so much more. Caddicarus has always hated ''Peppa Pig'' so much that he made a couple of reviews on the show a few times. He even reviewed the ''Peppa Pig: My First Album'' CD as well as the 2009 Nintendo DS Peppa Pig video game that was made for the United Kingdom. The show currently sits at a 6.3/10 rating on IMDB, and 65% of Google users liked it.

Despite the mixed reception from audiences and critics, ''Peppa Pig'' is a very popular preschool show from the United Kingdom and much like ''[[Bob the Builder (1998)|Bob the Builder]]'' and ''[[Thomas & Friends (Classic era, seasons 1-8)|Tho]][[Thomas & Friends (HiT model and Sharon Miller eras; seasons 9-16)|mas]] [[Thomas & Friends (Andrew Brenner era, seasons 17-21)|& Fri]][[Thomas & Friends (Big World! Big Adventures! era, seasons 22-24)|ends]]'', the show is not only popular in the United Kingdom, but is also popular all around the world. Peppa Pig herself was a Top 10 UK best-selling character toy according to NPD Group in April 2011,<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/apr/18/hit-entertainment-thomas-the-tank-engine</ref> and the show was second only to ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 1-5, 9-present)|SpongeBob]] [[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|SquarePants]]'' as the world's most-watched children's cartoon in the 12 months to March 2021, according to the ''Wall Street Journal''. For the year, it jumped from 103rd to 50th most in-demand show overall. These all stem from the '''exceptionally heavy airtime''' that Nick Jr. UK gives the show - it often fills up more than half the schedule and the second Nick Jr. channel in the United Kingdom is often turned into a channel showing only ''Peppa Pig'' for a month each time; same for Discovery Kids, Peppa Pig fills almost the entire schedule, not giving any chance for other shows to shine.

The show would also gain a cult following under a "so bad, it's good" charm.

==Trivia==
*In 2019, the creators of Peppa Pig made a CD album called "[[w:My First Album (Peppa Pig album)|Peppa Pig: My First Album]]". Later in 2021, it made the second soundtrack album called "[[w:Peppa's Adventures: The Album|Peppa's Adventures: The Album]]".
**Following the album's announcement, a Twitter interaction between the show's Twitter account and Australian rapper Iggy Azalea went viral after the latter tweeted "It's over for me now", in reference to My First Album being released the same day as Azalea's second studio album In My Defense. The Peppa Pig account responded with a tweet referencing Azalea's single "Fancy", before Azalea jokingly asked for a collaboration. The interaction and the album's release spawned several internet memes.
*For some reason, ''Peppa Pig'' fans dislike ''Fire Emblem'', specifically Lucina, as the ''Peppa Pig'' fanon wiki appoints her as the antagonist for whatever reason. It's one-sided, as ''Fire Emblem'' fans get a kick out of this, which had gone to memetic levels.
*There have been several video games based on the property:
**The first title: ''Peppa Pig: The Game'' was released for the Nintendo DS in November 2008. Following Pinnacle's insolvency in December that year, a successor company - P2 Games, was founded in February 2009, and released a Wii version a year later on 27 November 2009 for the Nintendo Wii, with distribution by Ubisoft. It is a children's video game to learn and play, and it contains 11 games and activities.
**A second game, ''Peppa Pig: Fun and Games'' was released on 22 October 2010 for the Nintendo Wii console and Nintendo DS hand-held game system. Asylum Entertainment and P2 Games remained as developer and publisher for the title.
**A third game, ''My Friend Peppa Pig'' was developed by Petoons Studio and published by Outright Games. It released on 22 October 2021 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows, exactly 11 years after ''Peppa Pig: Fun and Games''.
*There have been reports about kids in the US beginning to speak British English after watching a lot of ''Peppa Pig''. For example, tomato and zebra are pronounced in the English, rather than American way; words such as satnav, petrol, mummy and "biscuit" (instead of "cookie") are used; and comments such as "how clever," "Oh dear," and "can I have a go?" picked up. This phenomenon was not an issue for many parents; it trended with the hashtag "#PeppaEffect." Linguistics experts find those conclusions to be "likely exaggerated." A written statement by Entertainment One Ltd. when asked about this phenomenon went on saying: "Young Peppa fans see her as a friend…and, as we do with friends that we admire, pick up some of their characteristics...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
*Despite the Islam prohibiting pork, Peppa Pig got not only one, but TWO arabic dubs. [https://www.youtube.com/@PeppaPigArabicOfficial One of the dubs] aired on OSN Kidzone, and [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLutVVlhBBbLnkVKRyhvYPNQmVDA8EoRNw the other one] aired on Nick Jr.
*In 2005, the short-lived Cartoon Network preschool block "Tickle U", ''Peppa Pig'' was given an American English dub that is now almost completely lost and has no longer aired ever since.<ref>https://lostmediawiki.com/Peppa_Pig_(partially_found_American_dub_of_British_children%27s_animated_series;_2005)</ref>
**The original British version started airing in the US on Noggin in 2007, then later became part of the Nick Jr. channel when it rebranded. It also sometimes airs on the Nick Jr. block on the main Nickelodeon channel.
*In 2019, mature Peppa Pig videos were banned on TikTok in China after becoming associated with a "gangster" subculture and also for exposing children to adult content. However, the normal Peppa Pig is still popular in China.
*The show spawned several internet memes.
*This show along with ''Granny'' spawned the famous ''Roblox'' horror game ''Piggy'' created by MiniToon.
*There is another show created by Astley Baker Davies known as ''Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom'' which is considered a lot better than Peppa Pig due to it teaching better morals that this show would have thought, as well as having tolerable, likable, and humorous characters, interesting plots, etc. Sadly, one thing that is similar to another thing in this show is King Thistle being called "old", just like how Daddy Pig is constantly called "fat".

*The face designs of the Peppa Pig characters were originally based on the other Astley Baker Davies shows such as "The Big Knights" (1999-2000) and their short film "Jolly Roger." (1999)
*Peppa and George both made cameo appearances on the "[[w:The Official BBC Children in Need Medley|The Official BBC Children in Need Medley]]" music video by Peter Kay's Animated All-Star Band for Children in Need in 2009, Peppa sang one of the lyrics for "Don't Stop" in the medley.
