History Series / HangTime

* [[BewareTheNiceOnes Beware the Nice]]/[[BewaretheSillyOnes Silly Ones]]: Danny may be a good guy jokester, but when he learns martial arts in "Fighting Words"... well, his bully in that episode, Tony, gets ''really'' scared at the end of their bout. Imagine what would have happened if Danny didn't show restraint when it looked like he was going to hit Tony. The entire scene and the speech that follows:

* CatchPhrase:
** There's Coach Katowinski's "aw, geez," also counts as OnceAnEpisode since Dick Butkus uttered it often during his run on the show. With the exception of the season five finale "My Family," when he (and his daughter) say it in unison after being complimented by Kristy, Coach K usually says it whenever he experiences misfortune, is asked to talk about another character's relationship or sees something he wishes he hadn't.
** Kristy's "ooh, I could just shake my finger at him/her," when a character does something bad or mean.

* DisguisedInDrag[=/=]AttractiveBentGender: The latter is averted in "The Curfew," but the former is invoked in both that episode (both ways with Julie and the guys) and in "Finals Fury" (in reverse with Mary Beth and Kristy). In the first of the two episodes, Julie, Michael, Teddy, Danny and Vince dress up in drag (with Julie being dressed as a man) in an attempt to get out of a fraternity party on the night before the state tournament without Coach Fuller seeing them, since they're supposed to be at their hotel room before curfew. Vince is a little embarrassed, pointing out he looks like his mom dressed up as a woman, leading to this hilarious exchange:

* DumbBlonde[=/=]GeniusDitz: Vince's date in "Harvest Moon," also a bit of a klutz considering she got her hair caught in the car door when they arrived at the dance. However, she does know what the area of a circle is, but confuses pi with pie.

* LastNameBasis / FirstNameBasis: Most of the characters call Nick by his last name, Hammer. The only main characters to have called him "Nick" on at least an alternating basis are Coach Katowinski and Mary Beth.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In one episode, Mary Beth calls Kristy "queer" (as in strange or weird) but the man that Mary Beth is talking to on the phone thinks she's talking to him and gets offended. The joke being that he thinks she's using the alternate use of the word.

''Series/SavedByTheBell'' [[RecycledINSPACE WITH BASKETBALL!]]

More specifically, ''Hang Time'' was an American teen sitcom that ran from 1995 to 2000 on Creator/{{NBC}}'s Saturday morning ''Saved by the Bell''-clone block, TNBC (its executive producer, Peter Engel, was responsible for 90% of the shows in the block, though he didn't get involved in ''Hang Time'' until its second season). Created by Troy Searer, Robert Tarlow (who went on to create the two-seasoner TNBC stablemate ''One World'') and Mark Fink (a former writer for ''SBTB''), the series centered the adventures of the Tornadoes, a basketball team of the fictional Deering High School, in the fictional Indianapolis suburb of Derring, Indiana. At the start of the series, Julie Connor moves from the big city to Deering and joins the varsity boy's basketball team, where she must adjust to culture shock as well as trying to fit in on with a team of all males.

* TeensAreShort: Played straight and subverted, James Villani, who played Rico Bosco in season four, was the shortest of any of the 20 cast members in the series. Which says a lot considering most of the actors were close in height, with the sole exceptions of Reggie Theus, Dick Butkus, Kevin Bell and Robert Michael Ryan, who were relatively taller. Mark Famiglietti, who played Hammer that same season, is only about three inches taller than Villani (around the same height as Amber Baretto (Kristy), as is apparent in "SAT Blues"), but still a few inches shorter than the other cast members, even if closer to average height.

* HollywoodDateless: Mostly averted, as the vast majority of the lead actors are decent looking to gorgeous, and their characters are fairly popular at the school. There are a couple of odd examples, though. Amy is never given a love interest (at least, one who likes her back and she can date legally)[[note]]She develops a crush on a crooked mayoral candidate in "Style Before Substance," with whom she works as a campaign manager.[[/note]] during her run in the second season. Kristy is not given a long-term love interest until Antonio is introduced halfway through season four, although she is seen dating a couple of times before then, even ending up on the losing end of a love triangle with Hammer and Mary Beth in the aptly titled "Love Triangle".

* [[YouKnowImBlackRight You Know I'm a Girl, Right?]]: The focus of the season two episode "Just One of the Guys". As much as Julie tried to prove she can be just as good a player as the guys can when she first joined the Tornados, Julie becomes self-conscious when Mary Beth and Amy break to her that she needs to act more feminine. Her attempts to impress Josh by acting more like a [[GirlinessUpgrade girly girl]] (as part of an UnnecessaryMakeover, complete with a BareYourMidriff top and a short skirt) fail. She then decides to quit the team, out of concern that Josh won't notice her until a talk with Olympic track-and-field legend Florence Griffith-Joyner (arranged by Coach Fuller) sets her straight that she can be an athlete and still be a woman.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Done from time to time with Mary Beth and Kristy, they develop into the Series/LaverneAndShirley of the show.

* AbortedArc: The season one finale set up a romantic rivalry between Kristy and Mary Beth after Mary Beth kissed Chris while he was dating Kristy. In the final scene, Sam even implies that the love triangle is about to heat up. However, Chris did not return for the second season resulting in Mary Beth and Kristy acting as if nothing happened.
