* In "Trans-Fscism" Hank, Buck, and the kitchen staff of Sugarfoot's start running and illegal food truck after Arlen bans trans fats. Hank needs to force the cooks to start practicing proper hygiene, with a scene at the beginning showing a guy taking biscuits out of the oven while smoking, testing if they're done by sticking his finger in one, and then another guy ''sneezing'' on them. You would think that working at Sugarfoot's, they'd be familiar with the kinds of things you have to do to keep a kitchen clean, given that some of them are laws and would be noted in health inspections, and even if they weren't aware of ''why'' you'd have to do them, you'd think that they would just do them out of habit if they were already doing it at Sugarfoot's. Combined with the fact that Buck has no qualms against bribing the cops while running the truck, one gets the feeling that Sugarfoot's--a restaurant most of the cast love visiting and eat at regularly throughout the series--was likely horribly unclean and Buck bribed health inspectors to look the other way.

** Buck and Jimmy are terrible bosses to Hank and Bobby, respectively. They both make their employees do embarrassing, if not dangerous, things out of selfishness.
** The difference is Jimmy is a far stupider man who is incapable of commanding loyalty, while Buck has greater people skills and is more capable of throwing bones, as long as it gets him his way.

* During "Harlottown", the city manager brings up Salem, Massachusetts as an example of a town who capitalized on its unique past, in order to bring in tourist dollars and improve their community. While this might be an unintentional GeniusBonus, this very much foreshadows the city manager's real plans for one simple reason: the Salem Witch Trials never happened in present day Salem, but rather ''Salem Village'' or present day Danvers. Legal charter caused Danvers to split from Salem, while the latter went through a series of tragedies and misfortunes that caused them to capitalize on the Witch Trials as a way to bring in money; while Salem, Massachusetts capitalizes on witches and the paranormal, most of the actual historical sites are in Danvers. Case in point, during the episode, the city manager and the council take advantage of the town's unique past, while ignoring or not caring about much of the nuance that went into the town's founding, simply to bring in money.

* Many criticize ''Hank's Bully'' because they showed Hank's inability do anything about the SpoiledBrat Caleb and had Bobby fight the battle for him. Many fail to realize that Hank could only do so much. Caleb is just a kid, many of his antics really fall under a stern talking to, which won't matter much if his Parent's continue to let him do as he please. At best, Hank calls the police, they give him a stern talking to, but nothing will happen, worse case scenario, Hank just seems petty for calling the authorities on a kid. Having Bobby deal the same medicine on Caleb's parents is what finally took to fix the problem. Hank doesn't hate Caleb, he just wants him to behave, because he's a kid.
