* ShaggyDogStory: In "Project Pluto", Mindy wants to make a model of Pluto for show-and-tell at school, but then the other kids tell her that Pluto is no longer a planet. Then, the older kids go to the DSA and have a debate with the scientists on whether Pluto ''should'' be considered a planet or not. Then, the kids are forced to go home and tell Mindy that Pluto truly is no longer a planet, (which could have lead to an emotional ending with AnAesop) but then discover that Mindy has already accepted the fact that Pluto is no longer a planet and has made a model of Saturn instead.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** Many, many, ''MANY'' people spell Sydney and Sean's names as "Sidney" and "Shawn/Shaun" respectively. Some people also call Sydney "Cindy". A few people refer to Mindy as "Mindi".
** ''Even PBS themselves'' claim that Mitchell's surname is "Petersen", even though the show's credits literally spell it as "Peterson".



* TyopOnTheCover: One Australian website listing the Season Two episodes spell/punctuate certain titles wrong. Some of the more ridiculous examples include "[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Dean]] Has A Cold" and "Mindy And [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]] Carrot Bake".

Added DiffLines:

* TheTriple:
** Happens in "Detective Mindy":
-->'''Sydney''': How does [the black hole] do that?\\
'''Mindy''': And how did it get there?\\
'''Jet''': [[WeirdAside And how does my hair look today?]] (beat) Oh...not the right time?
** This happens again in "Galileo, Galileo!", where Sean is listing his heroes: Galileo Galilei, Neil Armstrong, Albert Einstein, Madame Curie, and Music/PattiSmith.[[note]]All of Sean's heroes are scientists, except for Patti Smith, who is a punk singer[[/note]]. Even Sunspot seems confused.
** In "Freebird", the kids point out that they can make a bird feeder, a birdbath, plants that birds like, and the right seeds. Jet follows that up by saying that he can teach the snow geese to river-dance. No, really.
** In "Astronaut Ellen Ochoa", when the kids show their drawings to Ellen, Sydney shows her a JustForFun/CommanderCressida comic she drew, Mindy shows her a Pluto drawing, and Jet shows her a drawing of a cucumber sandwich he ate the week before.
** In "Moon Circus", when the gang is trying to think of places to take the circus to, Sean suggests Mercury, Jet suggests the comet Churymov-Gerasimenko, and Mindy suggests Edmonton, Alberta. Sean and Jet's suggestions are both from outer space, while Mindy's suggestion is the capital of a Canadian province.

I don't believe that Sean qualifies for this trope, since his backstory has not been shown in detail and he doesn't behave too coldly as a result of his situation. I'll be removing it across the RJG related pages

** [[BrokenBird Sean]] represents science facts. In contrast to Sydney, who likes fiction, Sean is all about the facts. Sean likes to do things the old-fashioned way and does not like change as much as the others do, and he's got a hard time using his imagination as shown in "Backyard Moon Base", however he does come from a family of scientists AND astronauts, so he figures he's going to be a great scientist himself, and likes to use the Scientific Method to solve problems. He also wants to lead the first human mission to Mars, despite the fact that [[FatalFlaw he gets space-sick easily, is afraid of cramped spaces, and has a fear of heights]].

* {{Tsundere}}: Mitchell. Type A. He's usually very cruel and snobbish towards the main characters (especially Mindy) in public, but he actually does have a nice side[[note]]In his debut episode, where he watches Mindy through a pair of binoculars, he goes somewhat ''dere dere'' on her in private, which does nothing but increase shipping fuel[[/note]]. The ChristmasEpisode even reveals [[spoiler: that his ''tsun tsun'' tendencies are all a facade]].
* TwitchyEye: As part of his SanitySlippage, Carrot gets one at one point in "Castaway Carrot".

* UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode: The episode "My Fair Jet" is famous for being this. Jet wants to go to the Deep Space Array's Open House, but Sean and Sydney won't let him out of fear that he will expose his alien identity. They force Jet to undergo training to behave like a human kid. The first half of the episode seems light-hearted as normal, but then we get the revelation that ''there's a reason'' that the Open House needs to go well: if it doesn't, then all funding will be cut from the DSA. It starts raining, and the weather balloon flies away. Sean grabs onto it, and he gets carried with it, '''and is on the brink of death by almost slipping off'''. Jet saves Sean from death, and then sings about how he is Bortronian, exposing his alien identity to the whole neighborhood (not that Sean and Sydney cared, they were just glad that Sean was okay). Of course, WeirdnessCensor and some minor StatusQuoIsGod prevent the townspeople from remembering or even caring that Jet is an alien, but still, this is pretty dark for a PBS episode.

* SuperOCD: Sean definitely has a case of this. Especially in "Eye in the Sky", where he has a chart for every possible situation, except for rain.
