* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: One of the reasons ''Arli$$'' isn't better known these days is that the title character really is a scumbag. While a sitcom with an UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist is nothing new, many viewers and critics felt Arliss was just too unlikable to center a show around, without being entertaining enough to compensate.
* HilariousInHindsight: In one episode, Arliss laments that he is constantly mistaken for David Keith. Later, in the episode "You Can Pick Your Friends", David Keith plays Arliss' brother Archie.
