* TheOtherDarrin: Every returning character from ''Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Travller'' (with the exception of Mr. Bronson) was replaced for ''The Return of Tommy Tricker''. This is understandable, given that most of the characters are children, and there was a six-year gap between their releases. The kicker here is that the new actors don't entirely resemble the originals, '''ESPECIALLY''' the ones for Ralph and Albert. It's like they didn't even ''try'' to properly recast them.

* HollywoodPudgy: In ''Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller'', Tommy refers to Albert as "fatso" a few times, despite the fact that Albert is in no way overweight.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Largely averted, as the series is mostly made up of entirely different stories with entirely different casts. Played straight with ''The Hidden Fortress'' (sequel to ''The Dog Who Stopped the War''), and ''The Return of Tommy Tricker'' (sequel to ''Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller'').

* TheScrappy: In ''Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller'', many viewers hate the businessman passerby. He saw a little girl trying to post the letter with Ralph trapped in the stamp, but she's couldn't reach the mailbox because of her small height. The businessman then take the letter away from the little girl and [[BlatantLies promise to mail it for her at the post office.]] Once he board the bus, he eagerly opened the letter, hoping it contained a check. Seeing nothing of value inside, he threw the envelope and letter out of the window with Ralph in tow.
