1* AccidentalInnuendo: In the comic adaptation of episode 1, Henry thinks "Stanley's getting hot for action... and so am I!". They're talking about going after the crook, of course, but still.
2* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: How Henry treats Stanley, Tom and Alan's apparent chauvinism towards Anne, the degree to which Mimi bosses Scooter.
3* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme tune.
4* CrazyIsCool: Stanley is a goof with many weird plans and disguise and can be totally awesome.
5* EnsembleDarkhorse: Usually Suzie, but some times Anne.
6* RetroactiveRecognition:
7** This show was produced under license from "Leisure Concepts Inc.". You may know them better as Creator/FourKidsEntertainment. Fortunately, Turner owns the rights, as the company (LCI / [=4Kids=]) was just a licensing agency at the time.[[note]]LCI didn't have a production division until 1992, when "[=4Kids=] Productions" was formed by Al Kahn along with the company's distribution division "The Summit Media Group". Both divisions, which later merged, are now defunct, and the company, which is now once again just a licensing agency is now known as "[=4Licensing=]".[[/note]]
8** Creator/JodieFoster voices Anne Chan.
9* {{Shipping}}: Chan Clan offers a rarer take on HB shipping ideas. Namely given it has ten kids that are all related. The only character who receives an actual one-shot love interest is Chu Chu the dog. Unless you count Stanley getting a marriage proposal while in drag. But as we shall continue with our trends.
10** IncestYayShipping flies high in some cases such as Henry and Stanley who often pair up and as mentioned above Stanley has gotten a marriage proposal in drag.
11** Anne in her characterization is sometimes assumed to be a butch lesbian and shipped with another girl.
12** Attempts to avoid IncestYayShipping for those not so inclined may occasionally see a Chan sibling paired up with another meddling kid in Hanna Barbera's SharedUniverse idea.
13** Mr. Chan is frequently shipped with Mrs. Van Inkley from "Will the Real Charlie Chan Please Stand Up?"
14* ValuesResonance: 11 Chinese characters and not a single stereotype to be found. Impressive for 1972.
15** Just as impressive that it was a show where ''all'' of the main characters (if not all of their voice actors) were Asian-American.
