* Tino standing up to Colby and Bree after they mercilessly make fun of [[NiceGuy Bluke]] by saying that they can't both be the coolest person. Which leads to the two having a showdown that ultimately leads to Bree being demoted as cool (due to her being a member of the Lil Muffins fan club). After spending time with Tino and the others and getting mocked by Colby herself, Bree finally realizes how much being on the other end of insults really hurts, and despite regaining her coolness and going back to ignoring Tino and the others, she ultimately does change for the better by insisting that she and Colby will no longer insult others (which Colby admits to not really liking anyways).
* Meta example: the creators managed to make a show that proves that you don't have to [[AdultsAreUseless make the adults incompetent]] to make a show enjoyable for the target audience, plus managing to make it enjoyable enough for those outside the target that Disney released a DVD set.
* Another meta example: The show did so well in the ratings [[https://variety.com/2000/tv/news/the-weekenders-defeats-pokemon-1117781251/ it managed to take the number one spot in its timeslot]]. The show airing opposite? '''''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon]]''''', then at the ''height'' of its popularity. Adding to that, it had been just over a year since ''Pokémon'' had been welded to the top of the ratings ladder (April 17, 1999 – April 29, 2000, 54 weeks). It could also count as revenge, as Doug Langdale had found his first show, ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'', canned by Creator/KidsWB (the network that later aired ''Pokémon'') simply because it wasn't produced by them (it was produced by Creator/{{Universal}}).

** In Tino's flashback portion of the holiday special, when a joke she makes about calling her ex-husband up and yelling at him [[DudeNotFunny just upsets Tino]], she immediately apologizes and says that her issues with the man shouldn't be his and that it was wrong of her to make the joke in the first place.

** In show, her calling her ex-husband out (gently) on [[ParentsAsPeople not realizing that Tino just wants to spend time with him, not spend every second "entertained"]]. It doesn't quite work but props for trying.

* One episode features the popular kids, Colby and Bree, inviting Tino and Tish to a costume party. Tino and Tish feel guilty that Carver and Lor haven't been invited, and spend most of the episode covering it up, and in the end they show up to the party in terrible, hand-made costumes. This turns out it the whole thing was a prank from Cody and Bree, and when Bree deadpans, "I told you they'd fall for the costume thing." everyone laughs. Lor, who had actually been invited to the real party along with Carver, says, "You two thinks you're so cool. But you're just...pathetic." and slams the door in their face.
