Tropes

 * Absurd Phobia:
 * It's revealed that July has a goofy and stupid fear of cottonballs.
 * Can't Take Criticisms:
 * If you tell November she isn't pretty JUST once, she'll be really angry with you and lash out at you.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: April falls to this category.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: TBD.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold:
 * September is very short-tempered and can be a jerk to the months, especially to November. However, deep down, he deeply cares for them, does regret the worst stuff and is willing to keep them safe.
 * Revival: The series has one in 2023 on Hulu.
 * Signature Line: The show has several iconic lines, including:
 * "But... I'm a girl". It's often said by April, but was said once by Katrina.

Trivia

 * Adored by the Network: The show was beloved by both the Kids' WB block and the Cartoon Network channel, as the show has gotten reruns and marathons during the originals' runtime.
 * Cash-Cow Franchise: While not as big as Looney Tunes, DC Comics and other big WB franchises, Yearly Adventures was famous enough to spawn a spin-off, several video games and even merchandise.
 * Channel Hop: The original series aired on both Kids' WB! and Cartoon Network. While the original series has moved to both WB Kids and then Adult Swim for reruns, the revival series aired on Hulu.
 * Screwed by the Network: TBD.
 * Sleeper Hit: Even with the creator thinking the series wouldn't do well, Yearly Adventures, during its first few weeks, didn't have a lot of viewership and was thought to be a failure, but as time went by, the series slowly became more popular due to its concept and has since become one of the most popular Kids WB shows, and eventually went on to become a cash-cow franchise.
 * Spin-Off: July's Beauty Blog
 * What Could Have Been:
 * The show was originally planned to release on November 10th, 2000, but due to post-production difficulties, it was delayed to its eventual January 12th, 2001 date.
 * October was first planned to be a male, but the creator Lauren Faust wanted the show to have a gender-equal cast, so October was changed to a female.
 * TBD
 * The series was supposed to end with a theatrical movie that was planned to be released in 2008, but was permanently shelved due to "creative differences", with Lauren Faust leaving the project to do the then-upcoming My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic show and CW4Kids becoming a thing playing a role. Eventually, the revival premiered in 2023.

YMMV

 * Ensemble Dark Horse:
 * Cupid rather became a very popular character.
 * Mr. Anton as well has become a very popular character, even as popular as December is.
