!! Tropes associated with Chris Hougthon's works:
* CreatorCouple: With Kassandra Heller who serves as art director and background painter for ''Big City Greens''
* DawsonCasting: Was in his late 20s/early 30s when voicing the 10-year old Cricket Green.
* DescendedCreator: Voices Cricket and various other voices on ''Big City Greens''
* WordOfGod:
** Chris Houghton has answered various FAQ's over ''Big City Greens'' taking place in the same universe as various other cartoons:
*** The series takes place in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. Which is odd, given the differing art styles of both shows.
*** The show is also confirmed to take place in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', which was hinted at in the ''Random Rings'' shorts. This also conforms it apparently takes place in the same universe as Dan and Swampy's other shows which share said show's universe, ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'' and ''WesternAnimation/HamsterAndGretel''.
*** Chris also confirmed the show is set in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' as well as various older DC cartoons, such as ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'', ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'', ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'', ''WesternAnimation/TeamoSupremo'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements''.
*** Same goes for various Disney XD shows such as ''WesternAnimation/PennZeroPartTimeHero'', ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'' and ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil''. When asked if it took place in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/BillyDilleysSuperDuperSubterraneanSummer'', Chris only thought "most likely."
*** Ditto for the upcoming shows at the time like ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee''
*** Chris apparently confirmed BCG takes place in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'', which is a ''Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'' show. However, it is not in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius''.
