	In Roger Hargreaves' original book series, each of the Mr. Men and Little Miss characters were given a separate hometown: Happyland, Tiddletown, Nonsenseland, etc. In the television series, all of the characters live in the same city, the township of Dillydale. The name "Dillydale" was coined by series producer Peggy Regan. To commemorate the historic naming, she was presented with a plaque and the honorary title of "The Mayor of Dillydale".

The Mr. Men Show is an American animated children's television series based on the original series of Mr. Men books created by the British author and illustrator Roger Hargreaves—later with his son Adam Hargreaves. Adapted from the published source material into a variety program—unlike the original basis for the show, it primarily features comedy sketches, pantomimes, dance numbers, and music videos.

The series aired on both Cartoon Network and Boomerang in the United States, and re-aired on Channel 5's Milkshake! in the United Kingdom.
