Getting Crap Past The Radar examples have to provide evidence that the writers were deliberately trying to include content that would not be allowed if the network had noticed it.


* AdultsAreUseless: Only three people know Kat is an alien and they're all kids; Coop, Dennis and Fiona.
** Technically, so do Coop's grandparents, but they choose not to say anything because they might get "put in the old-folk's home." They also travel a lot and visit only on occasions so pretty much it's up to the kids.

Fiona. Technically, so do Coop's grandparents, but they choose not to say anything because they might get "put in the old-folk's home." They also travel a lot and visit only on occasions so pretty much it's up to the kids.



* CatsAreMean: Pretty much the series premise.
** Apparently Kat's homeworld is an EvilEmpire. They take over a planet and consume the natural resources. It inevitably ends up becoming a huge mess and at that point, they move on to a new world. When they are called out on this, the basic answer is "well, we're cats." This is less malicious and more a lack of effort to clean up after themselves.

* {{Getting Crap Past The Radar}}: In the beginning of "Me-Oh-Me-Oh Meow" there's a shower scene where Coop's father accidentally grabs Mr. Kat, thinking he was a towel, and it... doesn't end very well. At one point you can hear him say "[[GroinAttack Don't scratch there!]]" Ouch.
** At one point in "Stall The Jazz", Coop accidentally throws a frisbee at Old Lady Munsen's ass, but when she turns around to see one of her lawn gnomes, she... blushes and asks the gnome if it's "getting fresh with [her]."
** This exchange from "Never Cry Sheep":
-->'''Coop''': Uhh dad, I need to ask you something kind of embarrassing.
-->'''Burt''': (clearly nervous) Ooh, is it that time already? Okay Coop, [[TheTalk first you have the birds, then the bees-]]
-->'''Coop''': Not ''that'' embarrassing!
** There was also a similar joke in the Were-Coop episode.



* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Once [[spoiler: Millie, Lorne and Haley]] learned the truth about Kat, this was [[StatusQuoIsGod inevitable]]. More interestingly, [[spoiler: Fiona]] also became a victim of this at the same time.

At that moment, he notices he has a fifth finger on his left hand. This episode points out a few times they also have 4-toed feet as well.
