Where are these dudes parents? If they're realy never around the kids could go to social servicas and the show would get canceled! YAY! And Ruby is so self-centered.
In the article it says that Max and Ruby are the only ones to appear in every episode, but as is stated before, their grandmother has appeared before. The family portrait in the living room is of the grandparents, not the parents. And there are plenty of other characters that appear on the show, such as Ruby's friends Louise, Roger, and others.
In an interview with the creator, Rosemary Wells, on the Noggin website, she says, "As in most other classic stories, we don't see Max and Ruby's parents, because I believe that kids resolve their issues and conflicts differently when they are on their own." Here is the whole interview with Rosemary Wells. -- Mansquito ( talk) 22:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

The female singer really sounds like it could be Natalie Cole. But I'm not sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.100.20.171 ( talk) 16:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
The episode count based on a 30 minute run time is incorrect. This is the number of vignettes (3 per episode, excluding the pilot). The episode lists for each season is also worded incorrectly. This needs to be cleaned up. -- Robocoder ( t| c) 10:10, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
This article has about 358246 run-on sentences, especially when describing the characters. I'm thinking this should be fixed.
In interviews with the author of the book series there is no mention of Max being autistic/special needs. What is the source of this misinformation? It is skewing the appropriateness of the entire article. Angelkg77 ( talk) 23:12, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
I've noticed several things on this show that make it seem like it is set somewhere in the 1950's or 60's. For example...they listen to radio programs rather than watching television, the prints/patterns of their furniture don't seem very modern,and the characters' names: Ruby, Louise, Martha, Valerie, Max, Morris, Roger...don't seem like modern-day names for kids. Is this show supposed to be set in a different time frame? Olsentwinluv4ever ( talk) 01:17, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
We cannot say what decade the show takes place in unless reliable sources directly state what decade the show takes place in. Piecing together details to try to come up with a date is synthesis, which is against Wikipedia's policies. (Additionally, the show takes place where rabbits speak English. That hasn't happened in this universe, as far as I know.) - SummerPhD v2.0 20:14, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
Has Max and Ruby ending? or Did the 5th season just end? Since there has not been no new episodes since February of this year. - Stormisstar — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stormisstar ( talk • contribs) 15:44, 12 August 2013 (UTC) Stormisstar ( talk) 15:46, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
In this edit I removed a bunch of content that was obviously submitted with good intentions by 108.26.68.167. It's nothing personal. The content removed doesn't seem to focus on significant characters and roles, rather it seems to be about minor animals and toys. Per Wikipedia's Manual of Style for Television, "Remember to follow the notability guidelines when creating a cast list: Not every fictional character ever created deserves to be listed". For this reason I don't think the content belongs in the article. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 15:39, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Can someone please confirm what date it premiered on Treehouse TV, and Nick Jr.? We supposedly have one for Nick Jr. but some sources say it aired October 21 instead of 22. And for Treehouse, there's a thousand dates and I can't seem to find a "Max and Ruby premiere" article anywhere. Palettepony895 ( talk) 01:21, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
Need a source for this. Website still says she and Louise are 7. ScratchMarshall ( talk) 22:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
@ SummerPhDv2.0: I noticed you weighed in on this in special:diff/824368316. Today I watched the season 2 episode "Ruby's Surprise Party" (episode 24) which is about Ruby organizing a surprise birthday party for Louise.
Unfortunately it is heavily lacking in context as they do not actually state any character ages. There are 11 candles on the cake, which I'll not read too much into because season 2 also includes "Roger's Choice" (episode 20) with:
and Louise being 4 years older in the same season is hard to accept.
More than likely, Louise either was 6 and turned 7 in season 2 or was 7 from the start and turned 8 in season 2.
This might be the origin of the idea that Ruby is also a year older, because Louise's "than we are" makes her and Ruby sound to be roughly the same age, both of them being less than 7.5 but older than 7.0.
Just because RC precedes RSP in debut order (9 October 2003 v 13 April 2004) wouldn't necessarily mean that in-universe that is the order of the events. But considering that they aired 6 months apart, that could mean that time passes in-universe at twice the rate it does IRL, which would probably make sense considering how short bunny lifespans are.
Season 3 (episode 32, 4 May 2007 "Surprise Ruby", "Ruby's Birthday Party", "Ruby's Birthday Present") is probably where the idea that Ruby got a year older comes from. I haven't actually watched this yet so I'll have to check to see if they actually mention how many years old she is, or see how many candles her cake has, to figure out if there's anything worth citing there. Much like episode 24, without watching I don't know if this is Ruby going from 6>7 or 7>8 or possibly something else.
Assuming that season 2 events happen prior to season 3 events this might mean that Louise is slightly older than Ruby but that's not in stone. I don't know if there is anything to go by in-universe which establishes any actual order-of-events of episodes in respect to each other. For all I know, everything in season 3 happens before season 1? Unless later episodes actually make references to past events having occurred there is no knowing.

I see no source listed for this. Anyone know which episode clarifies which parent's mother Grandma is? Statement implies she is paternal grandmother not maternal grandmother but no source listed. ScratchMarshall ( talk) 18:07, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
I've been doing some digging and so far the earliest change I can find in regards to this is special:diff/737469767 made 3 September 2016 by User:2605:6000:3d8e:2700:e49d:5d27:5f83:25b8. Today in special:diff/825353157 while fact-tagging the claim "(paternal, learned in Season 6)" I checked the debut date. List of Max & Ruby episodes#Season 6 (2016–17) says it was 18 September 2016 that season 6 began... so if it had been this season to introduce this info, I'm not really sure how this information could have been gleaned from it 15 days prior to it airing. I just finished Preschool/Sleepover and there was no reference. Will try Ruby's Teacher / Art Time next. Both aired today. ScratchMarshall ( talk) 23:00, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
Watched "Fun in the Sun" this week, and Max and Ruby's mom mentions something like "Grandma taught me to boogie board when I was your age" to Ruby and Louise. This isn't proof of anything but seems like stronger support for the likelihood of Grandma being Mom's mother than being Dad's. Of course they are bunnies so this may not be mutually exclusive. ScratchMarshall ( talk) 17:43, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
I just watched "Max's Preschool" and while this does verify that Paul Bates voiced "Dad" and Caroly Larson voiced "Mom", the credits don't call them Mr. Bunny or Mrs. Bunny so I'm wondering if this originates in any dialogue or images from the show. I'm hoping this isn't just something that Gael Cooper made up. -- ScratchMarshall ( talk) 23:00, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

The infobox says that the show is "related to" Bluey, but gives no source for this. This article does not mention Bluey anywhere else, and the article on Bluey does not mention Max & Ruby at all. Is there a source for any relationship, other than both shows having anthropomorphic animal characters? Luke10.27 ( talk) 18:22, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
