* ValuesResonance: Despite the show being all but vanished thanks to the Bill Cosby sex scandal, it was somewhat ahead of its time on one aspect. That aspect being that kids do make mistakes, act selfishly, or get into petty arguments.

* WheelchairWoobie: Subverted. Monty is really upset that he can't get into the Glovers' backyard. The Bills build a ramp for him, and that puts Monty over the moon.

Not a valid example. Cosby wasn't even Little Bill's VA.


* HarsherInHindsight: In one episode Little Bill says he’s going to have private time with his mother ... not really something you want to hear Bill Cosby say.

* HarsherInHindsight: One episode has Little Bill afraid of getting his picture taken with Captain Brainstorm due to being "bigger". This becomes difficult to watch once you learn the sexual assault convictions Bill Cosby, the voice of said superhero, has dealt with in the past years.

Trivia trope(s).


* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Due to the various legal issues Bill Cosby now has going on, Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. have pretty much understandably pulled the series from the air and online. It's still on Vudu on a pay-per-episode basis, but probably only until the latest rights deal runs out.
