The series though has spun off on it's own with it's own 52 episode (4 season) series on Netflix following the 2014 movie.

Didn't know that only knew about the spin-off movie but don't we still imply spin-offs to the main franchise? I don't see how that really changes anything.

This is like saying The Simpsons should imply the Tracey Ullman Show because that's where it originated.

Is it? I haven't seen the The Tracey Ullman Show but my perception is that the Simpsons shorts are just little bumpers and are only in some episodes, they take up less than 10 minutes of bonus feature material on the first season DVD at least. It's basically like a guest feature, and if we had a Tracey Ullman tag I'm assuming they wouldn't be a large enough amount to be implied by default.

Peabody and Sherman have 91 episodes in Rocky and Bullwinkle and are not an insubstantial part they appear in almost every episode and have on-going plots. I was honestly not expecting any backlash of this, If I'm searching a variety show I want all the characters and segments who'd be expected to appear in each episode.

I imagine the backlash is moreso from the fact that it's a variety show from the 60s. Just like how the Peabody movie resulted in a spinoff series, after that finished a reboot of Rocky and Bullwinkle was made, which, based on the episode synopsis, doesn't feature Peabody and Sherman whatsoever. Not even Dudley Do-Right, who is mentioned in the wiki here, is in that show. And none of these three characters appeared in the 3D movie from the year 2000 either.

They might've started out as something explicitly associated with Rocky and Bullwinkle, but that's changed in the 50+ years since the original show.

I'm not really going to argue this because it's less than 10 posts and probably won't reach double digits, but I think that saying something being older/less popular means that it's automatically less valid is a weird argument. And I still think it's a missing implication.

I've only ever seen the 60s show since we owned it when I was a child, and am nowhere near approaching 50. Home media means the age of the show no longer really matters. Oh well though, I'll save this for an anime-related argument.
