- Accidental Innuendo: 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.
- Alternate Character Interpretation: How Henry treats Stanley, Tom and Alan's apparent chauvinism towards Anne, the degree to which Mimi bosses Scooter.
- Awesome Music: The theme tune.
- Crazy Is Cool: Stanley is a goof with many weird plans and disguise and can be totally awesome.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Usually Suzie, but some times Anne.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- This show was produced under license from "Leisure Concepts Inc.". You may know them better as 4Kids Entertainment. Fortunately, Turner owns the rights, as the company (LCI / 4Kids) was just a licensing agency at the time.note
- Jodie Foster voices Anne Chan.
- 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.
- Incest Yay Shipping 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.
- Anne in her characterization is sometimes assumed to be a butch lesbian and shipped with another girl.
- Attempts to avoid Incest Yay Shipping for those not so inclined may occasionally see a Chan sibling paired up with another meddling kid in Hanna Barbera's Shared Universe idea.
- Mr. Chan is frequently shipped with Mrs. Van Inkley from "Will the Real Charlie Chan Please Stand Up?"
- Values Resonance: 11 Chinese characters and not a single stereotype to be found. Impressive for 1972.
- Just as impressive that it was a show where all of the main characters (if not all of their voice actors) were Asian-American.
