!Tropes for the series:
* AlliterativeName:
** '''C'''harles '''C'''astle.
** '''B'''oyd '''B'''endix.
** '''G'''ene '''G'''arrison.
** '''B'''uddy '''B'''liss.
** ''D'''orothy '''D'''ay.
* CourtJester: Creator/JulieTaymor's episode, "Fool's Fire" is a heavily stylized adaptation of Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's "Hop-Frog". The title character is a deformed little person who was abducted from his home and forced to become the court jester of a king. He plays his "final jest" on the king and his ministers for abusing his only friend.
* {{Intermission}}: The show used a title card saying "Intermission" halfway through their longer episodes, complete with voiceover saying that the production would return afterwards. One example is the 1991 filmed version of ''Literature/TheGrapesOfWrath'' by Steppenwolf Theatre Company, starring the company's three founders, Creator/GarySinise, Creator/TerryKinney, and Creator/JeffPerry, along with Creator/LoisSmith.
