• Anvilicious: The bullying episode "A Dark Score Evened" lacks the more casual writing of the show.
  • "Test of the Tested" can be seen similarly, especially as standardized tests come under more fire in Real Life. Having tons of the school's kids in total panic mode at the mere thought of a retake didn't quite help.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: The title theme, of course.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: TQ from the episode "The Unseen Reflection" garnered many fangirls (and even some fanboys.)
  • Wayne, Fillmore's former partner, has a sizable following in fanfic, and Emily, Wayne's partner who was bullied off the force and only had one scene on-screen, has a similar following due to the show leaving how she was bullied and why it was so bad she transferred schools largely unexplained.
• Genius Bonus: Multiple...
  • Fillmore's catchphrase of "Disco." makes a lot more sense when you realize "disco" is Latin for "I learn."
  • In "Field Trip of the Just", the suspect is disguised in a South Carolina costume during the final chase, and at one point bumps into someone who asks "Yo, South Carolina, what's the rush? You seceding from the Union or something?" South Carolina was the first state to secede during The American Civil War.
• Harsher in Hindsight: "Test of the Tested" once you realize how Real Life standardized tests can affect kids quite similarly, and have lately come under the same kind of fire the S.A.T.T.Y.9 did in the episode for their pressure on kids for a single test.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: "The Unseen Reflection". A vampire book series with only female fans shown? Check. Series has a large anti-fandom? Check. The last book totally reviled for something happening that violated canon? Check.
  • That same episode also features Ingrid being disturbed by unicorns. Ingrid is played by Tara Strong. Do the Math.
  • Stingray's audio-enhanced voice from "Two Wheels, Full Throttle, No Breaks" sounds a lot like Bane's.
• Jerkass Woobie: Being Sympathetic Criminals, some of the antagonists tend to be this:
  • Randall Julian in "To Mar a Stall"
  • Harrison in "Cry, the Beloved Mascot"
  • Malika in "Red Robins Don't Fly"
  • Oscar in "Next Stop Armageddon"
  • Biana in "Nappers Never Sleep"
  • George in "A Cold Day At X"
  • Leo/Gustav Amaddeus Douglas in "Masterstroke of Malevolance"
  • Francine Bishop in "The Shreds Fell Like Snowflakes
  • Kipp in "Foes Don't Forgive"
  • Penny in "Immune To All But Justice"
  • Oskar Mabini and Robert Chestnut in "Links in a Chain of Honor"
  • Terri in "The Unseen Reflection"
  • Yumi and Gladys/Alexis in "Codename: Electric Haricut"
  • The vigilante perpetrators in "A Dark Score Evened" - all of them have genuinely been shafted by the system, they have a Token Good Teammate and the only one who truly qualifies as a Jerk Ass is their leader.
  • Alexandria in "Field Trip of the Just"
• Not So Harmless: While most of the culprits are completely harmless, Francine Bishop nearly killed Fillmore. Twice. Though the first time she probably didn't plan it.
• Shipper on Deck: Wayne Ligget ships Fillmore/Ingrid. Without knowing Ingrid, only having read about her in Fillmore's letter.
• Too Good to Last
• Toy Ship: Fillmore and Ingrid.
  • Anza and Tehama is also picked up speed... much slower.
  • Fillmore and Penny, for an episode.
  • For a No Hugging, No Kissing series there were quite a lot of cases involving young couples.
