Martha Speaks	comment	Martha Speaks is an animated educational preschool series on PBS Kids adapted from a series of books of the same name by author Susan Meddaugh. Martha is an ordinary dog but, well, let's just let the show opening theme explain the premise:Like all PBS Kids series, the show is educational. It focuses on mainly teaching preschoolers about synonyms and vocabulary in the English language, with each episode featuring an underlying theme illustrated with keywords. However, it occasionally puts some focus on introducing other learning concepts to kids, such as the Spanish language, history, and astronomy.

Martha Speaks / int_112890b3	comment	Secret Identity: When Martha gets to be host of a call-in radio advice show, she starts giving some strange advice to the callers. She becomes extraordinarily popular and everyone finds themselves extremely happy by following her advice, until at her first live appearance, everyone finds out she's a dog and everyone promptly loses interest in her and her advice.

Unfortunately very much Truth in Television, although there are many dogs like this who sadly perish before anyone can find them. The episode featured a non-malicious variant, however. The dog in question was trying to sneak a treat and got locked in the car only because the owner of the car didn't know she was there.

Helenâ€™s parents even end up buying her a cake from a store. Despite the cakeâ€™s quality, Helen still acknowledged that the cake came from the heart and and loves it. Martha and Skits are the ones who get to eat the homemade cake.

Martha Speaks / int_2d3d3e0c	comment	Disqualification-Induced Victory: In the episode "Wagstaff Races", the neighborhood kids enter a green go-kart race. T.D. and Alice's wind-powered go-kart places just behind Ronald and Reginald, whose go-kart appears to be powered by a swimming goldfish, and who have been sabotaging the other racers' go-karts. This isn't what disqualifies them, though. What does disqualify them is that their car is revealed to be a disguised gas-powered lawnmower when they crash into a lamp post after arguing over who gets to drive the victory lap. T.D. and Alice win the trophy as a result.

However, the others deem that unacceptable as that would be lying. Also discussed in a similar way in "Oh NO!". Granny Flo wants Martha to agree with her upon saying there's an ingredient in her soup which makes dogs talk, but Helen tells her not to because that's like lying as it only works on Martha.

Likewise, the Lorraines are seen wanting to adopt a cat, but since they don't have one in the present (and the flashback takes place only four years ago, meaning that the cat can't have died unless it was already old or there was some tragedy), the viewers can tell that they don't adopt one.

Martha Speaks / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: At the end of "Martha's Steamed!", Helen asks Martha if she learned something from all. Martha believes it's you couldn't jump to conclusions and a very hot dog can get very thirsty. Helen says the lesson was you shouldn't go eat food everywhere you see because it will lead to trouble. Martha, of course, misses the point and tries to reach for something in a trash can, only to fall in. Another episode introduces the character of Bob (an Angry Guard Dog with the habit of chasing after and/or barking at everything in sight). Bob attacks Martha and Helen throughout the episode while Bob's owner calls him a "bad dog". Then, at the end of the episode, Bob's owner starts calling him a "good dog" and Bob suddenly starts acting nice. Now, this could've been a good lesson about how calling someone names can make them angry and take out their anger on others. Just two problems: Bob was never shown being nice throughout the entire episode. Not even when people weren't calling him names, and in later episodes, he reverts back to being mean, implying that he is just a bad dog. Played for laughs in "There Goes the Neighborhood", which has a Prejudice Aesop but Martha says that it's okay to hate squirrels even if you shouldn't hate cats.

Mrs. Demson doesn't believe Martha, so she has to have a conversation with her own voice and hide under the door to do the other side in Mariella's voice ("I'm fine" "Are you sure?" "I'm sure" "Absolutely?" "Absolutely"). Mrs. Demson then asks why Mariella doesn't come out of the house, and this is Martha's answer

Martha Speaks / int_4f6ddcf8	comment	Cruel Coyotes: Martha Speaks: Subverted in "Down on the Farm" â€” Helen, Martha (a talking dog), and T.D. are visiting C.K.'s farm, which is next to a forest, and there are several mentions of a scary animal possibly being in said forest. It leads to a scene where the sheep are terrified and sure enough, there is an animal approaching them, scaring Martha... until she sees that it's a coyote and only poses danger to the sheep; not herself or the humans. She then easily scares the coyote away from the sheep by barking and growling at it.

In the story, she, Danny, Helen, and Truman mistake the tail, body, ear, and trunk of Jeffy the elephant as a rope, wall, banana leaf, and palm tree respectively due to feeling in the dark. Since elephants are mammals, however, Jeffy would feel warm, and they'd likely be able to hear him breathing. In addition, Martha is a dog, so even if Jeffy was clean, she at least would be able to smell him.

In "Martha in the Hold", Martha is trying to find an excuse to stay in Wagstaff City since she's afraid to fly in a cargo hold. She mentions sniffing the fire hydrant, before admitting its smell never changes.

In "Helen's All Thumbs", Helen becomes obsessed with a video game, neglecting her homework, forgetting to walk Martha and Skits, and eventually hallucinating sprites from the game.

Martha Speaks / int_c631f304	comment	We Want Our Jerk Back!: Subverted. There's a character on the show who is basically a grouchy old lady and treats everyone around her meanly. In one story, her doctor tells her she needs to adopt a positive outlook for her health, so she starts being ultra-nice to everyone, playing with the kids and Martha and everything. Nobody goes so far as to suggest that they'd prefer she'd go back to the old way, though Martha does come very close.

Martha Speaks / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: In "Verb Dog, When Action Calls!", Martha spins around to transform into her superhero identity like a certain other superhero dog. TD's own Greek myth adaptation I Love Medusy. In "The Dog Did It", when Martha tells the kids about how dogs helped human discover fire, the story begins with a bone being thrown up in the air. There was even a Match Cut. In "Martha, Sled Dog", Martha screams "Good catch, Skits! Now stop this crazy thing!" When Alice reads a book in "The Martha Code", Ronald tells her that the spider dies. This is likely a reference to a children's book called Charlotte's Web, about a spider who does indeed die. "Secret Agent Dog" has several James Bond references. Martha's title is 002 and the other dog's title is 001. In Martha's daydream she asks for her water "shaken and not stirred", which is said in the films.note But in the books, he says the other way round. Truman reads The Odyssey in "Truman and the Deep Blue Sea" and Odysseus appears in his dream. T.D. reads Moby-Dick in "Truman on the Ball". Truman is said to have viewed The Wizard of Oz as a little kid, but the tornado gave him nightmares. Martha and Helen, however, enjoy it. In "Martha Models", Helen and Carolina suggest dressing Martha and Skits up as Sherlock Bones and Dog-tor Watson or Romeo and Juliet. They then decide to dress them up as Frankenstein and Count Dog-Ula. Helen's dad's favorite superhero is the Green Gaslamp.

Nelson, a cat, is supposedly cleared since he has no thumbs and thus couldn't open the door to the basement where Martha was. As it turns out, however, he did do it.

Martha Speaks / int_d99a228f	comment	Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Despite the fact that Martha is the only known talking dog in her world, in general, nobody seems freaked by it. The most common reaction to her talking is no reaction, though sometimes people may be mildly surprised, then simply decide to just go with it. In "Ain't Nuthin' But a Pound Dog," Kazuo of the animal shelter thinks that he's having a joke played on him when Martha's dad calls up asking if a talking dog has been taken to the animal shelter, but when he actually does finally hear Martha talk, he just takes it in stride. Oh, and you would think that if there were a talking dog in town, everyone would know about it, but apparently not. Lampshaded in an episode where Martha goes to see a famous television dog visiting the town. However, the two recurring villains in the show, Otis Weaselgraft and Pablum, constantly make plans to kidnap her to make money off of her, so at least it's an interesting sight to someone. The episode where she became a host of a radio advice show, she makes her first public appearance. This would explain why not a lot of people were freaked out in later episodes, since the people already known about it from this episode. Also in the first episode, a few people in Helen's neighborhood noticed Martha talked for the first time. Played straight in some episode where some characters who never met Martha think they're joking about a "talking dog". Helen and others are confused by it, because they're so used to Martha talking they forget a talking dog is an unusual thing.

The real thief was Skits, who stole the craft supplies to get attention. In "The Crooning Crook Caper", Helen and Martha are investigating the identity of someone called "the Whistler". They see some muddy footprints, but they turn out to just be T.D. trying to get a mop unstuck from a muddy boot. Helen even points out that it's a red herring. In "The Big Knockover", it's suggested that Skits was the one who knocked over some trashcans — he hid when Mrs. Demson showed up, was late to a meeting of dogs and seemed tired during said meeting, and was the only member of the Lorraine household with no alibi (Jake was too small and it would be out-of-character for Helen, Danny, or Mariella).

Martha Speaks / int_f1356f5e	type	Speaks Fluent Animal
Martha Speaks / int_f1356f5e	comment	Speaks Fluent Animal: Zigzagged. Martha is able to understand, but not speak the language of, cats, birds, and sheep but she is notably not able to understand monkeys and has some difficulty understanding puppies. She can understand giraffes, but they cannot understand her. The bird, featured in "Martha Doesn't Speak Monkey", can understand giraffes and Martha when she's speaking English, but not monkeys, and the giraffe from the same episode can understand monkeys and birds but not dogs or people. Professor Monkey, apparently, can understand all the languages in the world, but can only speak in monkey. T.D. once wanted to speak to animals after seeing a guy on TV who can do this, but he can't do it because he can't pronounce barking and doesn't have a tail. Averted with Dynamo the robot dog. He can recognize dogs and barks at them, but his remarks make no sense to dogs. Ironically, the only language he seems to be fluent in is English, while he's meant to be a dog.

Somewhat justified in that it's shown he's still learning how to be a security guard from DVD courses, but is still pretty inept.

In "T.D. and Martha Gopher Broke", Martha suggests dressing a potato up as a female gopher to invoke Animal Sweet on Object and lure away the male gopher who has been eating T.D.'s uncle's crops. T.D., however, thinks that the gopher would probably just eat the potato.

At one point, the defendant's lawyer shows Martha three cards; two red and one green. Martha, however, is unable to tell the three cards apart, due to her being colorblind, but towards the end of the episode, she reveals that she is able to tell that the top of a traffic light is always red, and the bottom of the traffic light is always green.

Cheese's: Big Burgertorium, which serves burgers, not pizza, but still has a play area and arcade games, depressed and tackily dressed employees (which may lead it to overlap with Kitchy Themed Restaurant), and is so noisy that they have to leave earmuffs at the door! There aren't any animatronics, but the restaurant's jingle is blared at full volume through the restaurant, and, of course, the food tastes horrible.

Nelson, a cat, is supposedly cleared since he has no thumbs and thus couldn't open the door to the basement where Martha was. As it turns out, however, he did do it. How is still a mystery, although it's implied at the end that he may have accessed the basement via a zip line.

You can't forget Martha's "Hey Joe, whaddya know?" to which Helen responds, "My name's not Joe.", in the theme song. Nobody in the Martha Speaks universe has the name of Joe. In one episode, a talking dog says this to William Shakespeare (played by TD), and he responds "My name's not Joe. It's Will." In an episode about Greek myth, Echo the nymph (Martha) says "Hey Juno, whaddya know?", and Hera (Helen) angrily responds "My name's not Juno!" People being surprised to see Martha talk. Also, those who know her personally are confused by other people who think they're joking.

In "Martha Fails the Course", Martha is too embarrassed to walk for fear of being laughed at after failing an agility course. In "Martha and Truman Get Lost", those two characters get lost looking for something Truman was too embarrassed to specify, which turns out to be his lucky rock. In "Carolina Tackles Football", Carolina is embarrassed to play American football because she's a girl, even though Helen and Alice play it. In "Truman's Secret", Truman is embarrassed about his haircut. Helen being embarrassed about her clothes takes up a subplot of "Martha Gives Advice".
