** Oh look; [[http://oi66.tinypic.com/mj0k8h.jpg A scary patient]] who would be better off at Broadmoor....Oh, wait! HE'S AN ORDERLY!
** The place doesn't look like BedlamHouse and the patients seem relatively "normal" and [[http://oi67.tinypic.com/2jsle1.jpg enjoy relaxing in the lounge to watch TV]]....Then this one woman (Francine) has a freakout and there's this weird babbling old woman called "Nana"....and "Hang out and watch TV" is the only thing the patients can do to pass the time because there's literally nothing else to do! There's also other wards that are even ''worse'', like one where it's just [[http://oi63.tinypic.com/dyuq7r.jpg an empty room where patients wander aimlessly]].

* The Administrators wanting to shut down the Station ''even if there was funding and a new mixing desk'' may NOT be JUST ForTheEvulz but may be due to the fact that there was actually a RealLife sweeping program of gradually shutting down all the Mental Asylums in the UnitedKingdom during TheEighties and TheNineties. This involved slowly cutting all funding for upkeep, maintenance, therapies, etc. in an effort to make these places unlivable and thus worthy of being shut down. The fictional St. Jude's was doomed from the start. The patients likely will end up either put in other programs, go home or end up homeless.

*** This can be seen as "PlayedStraight", too since Campbell has a form of Bi-Polar. Thus we see him in "Regular" mode and "Manic" mode. Campbell has Hypomania, where there's an emphasis on the "Mania and Cheerfulness" aspect and he seems to switch between "Regular and Manic" rather than "Depressed and Manic".

* Almost everyone of the principal Loonies (The ensemble of Campbell, Fergus, Rosalie & Francine) get introduced in a manner that reflects their illness or idiosyncrasy.
** Rosalie is [[https://youtu.be/BTkjRS8K8RU?t=2m4s busy cleaning]] the place.
** Fergus is [[https://youtu.be/mgd-kJQImcU?t=3m7s escaping the Hospital]] at night.
** Francine is a wreck who's having a FreakOut and gets [[https://youtu.be/BTkjRS8K8RU?t=8m7s herself sedated]].
** Campbell's [[https://youtu.be/mgd-kJQImcU?t=5s first scene]] is an exception since he seems to be a perfectly normal, emotionally-together kid (apart from Nurse Isabel reminding him to take his meds, whereby Eddie realizes the young man is a patient).
