* InformedAttractiveness: Malina, to a certain extent--while she's certainly very pretty as far as physical appearance goes (as well as the art style), but that still doesn't change the fact that they feel the need to mention she's a "hottie" in the show's theme song. As well as most episodes.

* {{Retool}}: Parodied in "The Emperor's New Show" when fan letters convince Kuzco to change the show. They do a cop show, a game show, anime, and wrestling. It turns out Yzma is behind the letters as part of a plan to get destroy Kuzco. Kronk's cooking show pitch is rejected, so he decides to interfere during the wrestling one and spills the beans in the process. Ultimately, Kuzco writes his own fan letter just to put everything back to normal.

* SeriesGoal: Kuzco has to graduate high school in order to officially take the throne as emperor, with Yzma schemes and his own laziness standing in the way. [[spoiler:He finally succeeds in the last episode]].

''The Emperor's New School'' (2006-2008) is a Creator/DisneyChannel show based on the [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney Film]] ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove''.

Kuzco, the main character, is still an obnoxious self-centered emperor (in spite of [[AesopAmnesia how the movie ended]]) who has been temporarily dethroned and must attend [[HighSchool The Kuzco Academy]] and pass all his classes to become Emperor, as you can't become one without finishing school. The Kuzco Academy is run by Principal [[SdrawkcabAlias Amzy]], a PaperThinDisguise for Yzma, [[HarmlessVillain the series villain]], which fools no-one except her [[BrainlessBeauty handsome but dim]] lackey [[BumblingSidekick Kronk.]]

Added DiffLines:

** Also in "Auction Action", after Malina bids on Kronk, Kuzco gets Yatta to use his Kuz-credit card, which has a thousand Kuz-coin limit, to bid on him to get back at Malina. He didn't even think to tell Yatta how much to bid, so she spends ''all'' the money on the card.

** Alligators are often shown in this series (the alligator that ate Kuzco’s homework, Yzma’s pet alligator) but alligators are only found either in North America or China, and not in South America. The only crocodilians you’d find in what is now Peru are caimans.

* AvertedTrope: One episode has the RunningGag of Yzma telling Kronk to [[CatchPhrase "pull the lever"]]. Usually the lever is pulled and something comical regarding Yzma happens. In one episode nothing happens (as in literally nothing) and they take the stairs instead--and in another episode, rather than physical harm to Yzma, the fire alarm gets set off.

* KarmaHoudini: In "The Emperor's New Tuber", Malina cheats to win a largest potato contest and gets away with it because [[ItMakesSenseInContext the foot of Yzma's giant stone robot]] crushed it into mashed potato, and she instead gets 1st place for the best tasting category and doesn't confess to cheating.

* KarmaHoudini: KarmaHoudini:
** No one seems interested in bringing Yzma to justice for the various crimes she's committed. Since the show is set after the first movie, no one considers trying to arrest her after her conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor. Even if Kuzco's royal title is currently suspended until his graduation, she is still guilty enough for everything from fraud to theft and attempted murder. Not only that, but it becomes an OpenSecret that the school's Principal is just Yzma in disguise, yet no one seems to care.

* AesopAmnesia: By the time of the show, Kuzco has completely forgotten the lesson he learned in the movie, that it's ''not'' [[ItsAllAboutMe all about him]], and relearns the same lesson in the series at least OnceAnEpisode. [[JustifiedTrope To be fair]], it's shown in flashbacks during the film that Kuzco has been spoiled rotten since he was in diapers; eighteen years of self-absorption and {{Jerkass}}ery don't just go away overnight. That being said, while he is still ''incredibly'' self-absorbed and narcissistic here, he is also more solidly a JerkWithAHeartOfGold rather than a completely unlikable HateSink like he was in the early movie, and his selfish antics tend to be more dorky than truly mean.
