* CommonKnowledge: One reason (the other is a grim reaper being visible in the graveyard she is visiting) some fans think Marshall's crush Melanie dies offscreen after saying she needs some time alone at the end of their sole episode is because of a line in his narration that he never saw her again after that meeting. What he actually says is that he never ''kissed'' her again after that meeting.
* CultClassic: Two seasons, good reviews, and a book series have failed to gain the show much contemporary notice, but the fantastic premises, sometimes mature themes, a blend of genres, and good acting have made it highly beloved to a certain set of people who feel that the show could have been a genuine classic if it had aired just a little later, when the audience was more prepared for its kind of storytelling.
* EnsembleDarkHorse: Storm chasing Captain Ahab {{Expy}} Howard, the MysteriousProtector Milkman, and Melanie, a classmate of Marshall's who starts acting differently after a heart transplant in one of the more MaybeMagicMaybeMundane episodes and is played by Creator/DanielleHarris, are each only in one episode but are among the better-remembered characters from the show.
%%* TearJerker: "Heart on a Chain".
* TheWoobie: Sara Bob in "Who's Who". Her family treats her like a virtual slave, try to obliterate her dreams, and are generally a bunch of lazy [[JerkAss jerkasses]]. Fortunately, she [[EarnYourHappyEnding earns her happy ending]] and teaches her family [[LaserGuidedKarma a lesson in cleanliness]].
