* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each episodehad the word "time" in the title
* TimePolice: The Postman makes sure the watch's owner doesn't use it to commit crimes. He also ensures that time loops don't occur (such as when Bernard's cousin Lucy kept trying to rewind the watch).
* TimeStandsStill: The premise of the series.
