Melanie (TV series)/YMMV


 * Aluminum Christmas Trees:
 * One episodes features Vivian packing cheese and gravy sandwiches for a picnic. Yes, those are a common thing in Kuboia.
 * Broken Base:
 * The first series is either the best because it is the funniest and doesn't takes itself seriously, or the worst because the later episodes had better writing and more heart.
 * Depending on who you ask, the "Oh, Melanie!" catchphrase is funny or annoying.
 * Fandom Rivalry:
 * With Horrid Henry given they have similar plots.
 * Growing the Beard:
 * To most fans, the show gets better since Melanie is less of a brat, the supporting characters have more development and episodes are less mean.
 * More Popular Spin-Off:
 * At least in the United States, the show is more well-known than Ouraine.
 * Narm Charm:
 * Several scenes are this due to their over-the-top voice acting and how characters tend to overplay Melanie's behaviour.
 * Pandering to the Base:
 * To some, Ouraine and Olly's cameos come off as this.
 * Popularity Polynomial:
 * The show saw a decline in popularity around 2010 after it was pulled from many TV channels worldwide, but saw another wave in popularity around 2019 thanks to YouTube uploads and memes.
 * Unintentional Period Place:
 * There is a fair bit of early and mid 2000s culture seen throughout the show, such as Melanie playing with a handheld console which is clearly based on the Game Boy Advance.
 * Unintentionally Unsympathetic:
 * Nathan. We are suppose to be sorry for him due to having to put up with Melanie's antics, yet he is shown to be just as bad (if not, worse) given he acts like he is better than everyone else and often chews Melanie out for the most trivial things, especially since it's not his responsibility to enforce good behaviour onto her. The fact some episodes show he is very spoilt and well-off doesn't help.
 * Word of God has admitted he eventually became aware of this and made sure Nathan was a more sympathetic figure later on.
