* You may have noticed that Drew is going prematurely bald despite his age. Why is this? Well, not only is it possibly heriditary due to Grandpa Lou's current state of affairs, but look at who his daughter ''is''. Is it any wonder why he took to the sidelines and let Charlotte take things over in terms of raising their daughter, barely saying a word?

* When Charlotte is bemoaning being kicked up of her company, one things she says is “I know where the bodies are buried!” Let’s hope she’s being metaphorical.

* "Susie Sings The Blues". Susie gets conned out of $1000, but rather than immediately head home, she sits there alone on the park bench until night falls, all the while wearing something that [[BareYourMidriff is pretty revealing by itself.]] Did it ever occur to her what could have happened while she was there all alone?

* When Chuckie is caught eavesdropping on Z and his dad about the "hopefully the cops won't show", neither of the latter two takes it badly. A hint that what they're doing isn't illegal and therefore nothing they wouldn't want to be overheard talking about.
** It's later said that Z likes cultivating a bad boy image because he's shy about his intelligence and sensitivity. It's possible he speaks in code like that for fun. After all, he is 11.
* Angelica is an advice columnist, which is perfectly in line with her ''Rugrats'' self. She always tried to boss the babies around, and liked playing the 'wise older kid' figure in her own way.


Added DiffLines:

** And she was hardly going anywhere alone with him. His dad was there too, along with a bunch of other charity workers. Maybe Z's dad called Chaz or Kira (who seems like she'd be more reasonable) to say that Kimi wanted to help out. When she comes into the coffee house, she says she'll be helping a friend with something later, and Chaz doesn't object. Chuckie pointedly doesn't check with his parents before jumping the gun.

** "Twins' Pique" portrayed Lil as the one who was bothered most by their parents not being able to tell them apart, and going so far as to steal their dad's calculator and throw it in the mud in a desperate attempt for individuality. While she 'was' acting like Angelica, she made it clear that she was doing this for 'that' reason and 'not' because it was something anyone expected Angelica to do.

Another case of a personality change is with Lil. Unlike her brother, who could be regarded as the only character to have changed the least out of the group over time, was shown to assert her independence

** There's also the episode "The Perfect Twins", which shows their relatives, Smedley and Hedley, acting prim, proper, and all around "perfect". While Phil states that he doesn't want to be "perfect" and would rather remain his usual messy and disorderly self, it's Lil that wants to be different.

** One who is familiar with the series might note as well that while Tommy is usually the leader while they were babies, much of his ideas and preconceptions came from movies he had seen, from Reptar to "Okey Dokey Jones" and the like? Even from a very young age, movies have been an inspiration to him!

Well, when you look at episodes like "Down the leader while they were babies, much of his ideas Drain", "The Big Flush", and preconceptions came to an extent, "Beach Blanket Babies", and "Sand Ho!" from movies he the previous series, it's no wonder he'd develop a fear with all the bad experiences he's had seen, from Reptar to "Okey Dokey Jones" and around a body of water!

* Another clever CallBack is in the episode, "Real, or Robots?". Tommy is convinced that his dad is a robot, when he's actually sleepwalking from the stress of working too much. Well, the ''All Grown Up'' episode, "Thief Encounter", shows that sleepwalking apparently runs in the Pickles family as Tommy himself is shown to be sleepwalking later in his life whilst under stress.



** To be fair though, it makes sense to why he wants to be a film maker; he's STILL imaginative, but he's just more mature and is able to put his imagination to good use instead of getting into more potentail problems with it. Plus as mentioned above, he's always been a movie buff since he was a toddler.

** That's pretty much what Alisa says.
--> "A lot worse could have happened to you than simply losing $1000. Think about it."


Added DiffLines:

** The reason her parents didn't know was because they were prejudiced against Z without bothering to find anything else about him.

I'm pretty sure that only in-universe examples are allowed for Fridge. These observations aren't for complaining about the show's quality.


* Why was ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' so short-lived and far less popular than its parent series? Because it was never meant to be its own series. The one that got the ratings (the Rugrats special All Growed Up) was hyped for months and for good reason. It was supposed to be a single glimpse into the future of Rugrats, never its own series. What's more, Rugrats (the world from the eyes of infants) was a fairly fresh idea for its time and had no shortage of original ideas. ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' is only one of hundreds of pre-teen sitcoms with the same stale stories.

* Why are so many characters, especially Tommy's, personalities drastically different between this, ''Rugrats'', and ''All Growed Up''? Most people aren't the same as age 1 as they are at 11. People mature and experience new things. ''All Growed Up'' was in the babies imaginations and what they wanted to be as kids. While it's sad to see Tommy go from being so bold and adventurous to being, well, 'normal' it makes sense.

This is actually a clever CallBack to the Rugrats' second Christmas special, 'Babies in Toyland', where Tommy's gift (that he receives from Angelica of all people) is precisely a small camera that really works.
