History Series / OneEightHundredMissing

* LoopholeAbuse Pollock could be this. For example, in "Sisterhood", Nicole's nephew goes missing and she and Jess want to go investigate. Pollock reminds Nicole that it is against Bureau policy to take the lead on a case involving a relative. When asks if he's ordering her to stand down, he tells her that he's merely suggesting that it might be an opportune time for her to take some vacation in the Midwest. ((Since she's technically visiting family and not working as an active agent, she isn't in violation of policy.))

* DirtyCop: One shows up in the first season as the Bad Guy of the Week. Season Two's "Cop Out" takes the trope to BeyondTheImpossible with the Ridgeport Police Department, which is ''all'' dirty. They murder any officer who tries to come clean, even their own deputy police chief, and sends a hit squad after an investigating officer from another departmant.

* Laser-GuidedKarma: A smarmy kiddnapper flees the country for Brazil, and is promptly kidnapped upon arrival. [[spoiler: It's revealed that Assistant Director Pollock called a friend in the Brazilian millitary and arranged the kiddnapping]]

Shiny guns are generaly evil, though Jess and Nicole both have shiny slides on their back-up guns.

* DeliveryGuyInfiltration. Agent Scott hijacks a pizza delivery to get a bad guy to open the door. Interestingly, the bad guy actualy ''had'' ordered the pizza, the FBI just showed up in time to "borrow" the pizza. Earlier, in season 1, a pizza delivery guy was MuggedforDisguise to get ''out'' of a building.

* WireDilemma: In "White Whale", is it the red wire or the black one? Mde interesting by the insane wiseguy who built it, MobyDick provides the clue to disarms it.

* CouldSayItBut: An AmoralAttorney who's harrased the team the entire episode comments that "São Paulo, Brazil" is "nice this time of year" after stating the at she could ''not'' compromise attorney-client privilege.

Altogether, the show lasted three seasons on {{Lifetime}} in the U.S. (airing on A and later WNetwork in Canada). So far, [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes only the second season has been released on DVD]].

* BulletProofVest: Standard-issue when storming buildings, usualy worn underneath the FBI jackets. Notably, after a vision that showed that either her or Scott would get shot resquing a hostage, Jess doubles up on body armour and forces the issue, since she knew she'd get shot in the chest. She later notes that she has ''massive'' bruise on her chest.

* MilitaryAcademy: "Basic Training" had Jess go undecover at the George Washington Acadamy to investigate a disapearance. Doubles as a BoardingSchoolofHorrors, with little adult supervision (a DrillSergeantNasty) and a cadet corp that is either {{CompleteMonster}}s or total jerks. Turns out that TrainingAccidents are regular as some cadets try to weed out anyone who dosn't meet their own standards.

* InsistentTerminology: Jess is not psychic, she just gets visions. Everyoen else asks if there's any difference.

After the first season, the show was {{retool}}ed, which included replacing the supporting characters, making the dynamic more ensemble-based, replacing the theme tune with something more upbeat, and changing the title to just ''Missing''.[[hottip:*:Not to be confused with the non-fiction series ''[[http://www.usamissing.com/ Missing]]'', which profiles actual missing persons cases, or the 2009 {{BBC}} crime drama ''[[http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rmx2h Missing''.]]

* ActionGirl: Brooke Haslet in Season 1. Jess becomes one in Season 2, and her partner Nicole Scott is one as well. Agent Scott makes a habbit of beating up and disarming suspects much larger than herself on a regular basis.
