Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* KickTheSonOfABitch: In an early episode ''The Haunted Cave'', the team lets [[ItMakesSenseInContext Ann get sneezed on by a giant monster]] and CoveredInGunge after she yells at them, at which point she screams in disgust. While this comes across as pretty DisproportionateRetribution at the time (as from her point of view, she's just getting mad that some people she barely knows are in her garden without permission), considering [[BitchInSheepsClothing what she would eventually turn out to be like,]] she kind of had it coming.

* AmbiguousDisorder: According to ''The No Ones'' (and WordOfGod), [[DisabledInTheAdaptation the show's version of Watch]]. is autistic (he mentions to the interdimensional alien girl that people who don't understand him view him as just a kid "on the autism spectrum" and he apologizes to his mom for the way he acts sometimes, implying that it's been a problem for him for a long time), though the only signs of his autism are his obsession with science and technology and being unable to interact with others, which are actually all the classic traits of a nerd.

''Spooksville'' is an adventure/horror series on Creator/TheHub. Based on the book series by acclaimed author Christopher Pike, the new kid in town discovers that he holds the key to a battle between good and evil that has been taking place for centuries in a bizarre small town that plays host to a wide array of supernatural and unexplained occurrences. It has a running arc of Adam trying to find his long-lost mother and her whereabouts during her disappearance, but, for the most part, the show plays out like ''Series/EerieIndiana'' meets ''Series/{{Goosebumps}}'' (or ''Series/SoWeird'' minus the traveling musician angle and mixed with ''Series/EerieIndiana'').

* MacGyvering: Watch tends to do this a lot due to being so smart. Sometimes it almost comes across as a DeusExMachina. In one episode he makes whats basically a force-field generator out of a broken mirror, bottle, and CD player.

* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: Ann [[BitchInSheepsClothing always acts nice to Adam but is a literal witch who almost always has ulterior motives,]] while Sally [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold is rather rude and sarcastic but actually does care about Adam, and is usually completely right in distrusting Ann.]]
** It may actually be entirely conscious- in ''Fathers and Sons'', Watch mentions that Springville police protocol is "safety first." The ''officers''' safety, that is.
