Anderson is a Lieutenant and referred to as such much more than as a detective.


'''Det. Anderson:''' And what's your job as a ''parent''?

* ThereAreNoTherapists: [[JustifiedTrope That's okay, though,]] as apparently there's no such thing as grief or psychological trauma, either. Tony's girlfriend is killed, and he just goes to school the next day no problem. Betty is nearly murdered and her attacker is shot dead in front of her, but give her 24 hours and she'll be back at the malt shop shakin' her groove thang to possibly the worst song ever recorded.

Add Idiot Ball

Added DiffLines:

* IdiotBall: Jimmy holds it more than other characters.
** When the cops wonder if he's guilty he:
*** Decides to sneak out of the house to see his girl, so his whereabouts are unknown for a time.
*** Figures that his best option is to ''flee the county'', because that never looks suspicious.
*** Drives off ''right in front of the cops'' when they come to pick him up.
** Betty isn't much better: There's a killer on the loose, so naturally she sneaks off in the night by herself to go to the malt shop.
** Come to think of it, any of the girls in town who go about their business as usual are not exactly being prudent.
