History WesternAnimation / TimothyGoesToSchool

* AnAesop: Pretty much every episode has one. But the show is rarely {{Anvilicious}}.

* RetroUniverse: Standard for a Rosemary Wells-based work; the cars look vaguely 50s/60s-ish, as do the clothes the characters wear, in addition to living in what looks like a small, rural town from that time. But it's still implied to be taking place in the late 90s/early 2000s.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

** While most fans will remember Fritz bringing up The Mess Fairy, his imagination of it [[http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DYKNXWR8L.jpg is actually seen]] in the original book version [[SeldomSeenSpecies as a pig.]] The book also explains how Fritz came up with the mess fairy concept in the first place.

* AbsenteeActor:
** Lilly is curiously absent in ''The Treefort and the Sandcastle''. In this story, the boys split into one club in a treefort, while the girls take over the sandbox and build a sandcastle, but Lilly is not part of the group of girls, nor is she even mentioned, despite the events of the story taking place over at least two days.
** It also happens in ''Paint by Numbers'' in which Fritz doesn't appear at all, nor is he mentioned.

* PuppyLove: It's been hinted that Yoko and Timothy have a crush on each other in the series; Charles and Lilly are hinted to also have crushes on each other. Claude and Grace are a downplayed but present example.

* AdultFear: In ''Shy Charles'' where Timothy gets locked behind a door. He starts calling out for help with only Charles to notify the entire school by ringing the bell when he hears his voice. It's currently recess and the other students and Miss Jenkins are outside and Henry the janitor has walked off. Now imagine that happening to your child at a store or school with nobody around and being left all alone for a very long time.
