* AbortedArc: In episode 8 "A Little Paranoia Among Friends" we never find out who from town is responsible for sending Burt and Tyler the death threat in their hotel room, or who slashed Burt's tires. After the death threat Tyler speculates that someone really might be trying to cover something up in town, but this turns out to not be the case, and no one in town stands out as more likely a suspect than anyone else for the sabatoge.

...that is exactly like the movies — the first one, at least.

* TaughtByExperience: Unlike in the movies, the graboids (especially El Blanco), shriekers, and ass blasters are actually scarily intelligent and learn from their mistakes [[ContinuityNod (although Burt theorized that the graboids may have been avoiding him in the second movie due to the signature sound of his vehicle's engine)]]. El Blanco gets conditioned not to attack the tour RV by Burt, shriekers that run face-first into heat-lamps stop their attack and circle around the back of Burt's shelter, and the ass-blaster that escaped captivity after being stolen by a couple of idiots who tried to ransom it quickly gets wise to the schemes to try to catch and cage it and refuses to go after bait on the ground, thus making it necessary to rig a dangerous mid-air capture.

* MsFanservice: Rosalita is clearly there to provide something for the lady-lovers to look at. The series even tries to justify how attractive she is by saying she used to be a showgirl who became a farmer to get away from creeps. This does not really explain why she rarely wears a bra and is show wearing stuff like shiny lip gloss while shovelling hay. It's also quite odd that she always wears thin T-shirts, as judging by her chest it's very cold in Perfection. This is taken to its logical extreme in one episode where she dives into a watering trough to avoid being eaten. She actually spends the next few scenes in a soaked white t-shirt. Amazingly, not a single character draws attention to this.

* EndangeredPest: El Blanco is considered an endangered species. The locals have to put up with his periodic and dangerous passes through town, as his presence is the only reason why Melvin doesn't bulldoze the sleepy community to put up condos.

* ClosestThingWeGot: In the 13th episode, Burt finds himself separated from his collection of modern firearms as a swarm of shriekers is in the process of attacking a town, and the only weapons available are a wall of civil war era muskets. He considers the situation hopeless until a baseball team shows up and offers aid. At this point, Burt gives everyone a quick crash course in how to load and fire the muskets and sets up ranks. Front rank fires, then retreats to the back, middle rank moves forward to aim, while rear-rank reloads. After repeating this about three or four times, the entire swarm is annihilated.

* ObviouslyEvil: The mobsters from "Hit and Run" and "The Key" are pretty obviously up to know good, and are terrible liars for being professional criminals. The [[GenreSavvy Genre Savvy]] Rosalita can see through their disguise, but the rest of the cast doesn't see through their act without Rosalita all but beating the concept through their heads with a ball-peen hammer.

* GenreRefugee: Cletus Poffenberger is a MadScientist who could have been right at home in a more conventional [[AttackOfTheKillerWhatever Creature-Feature]] with a ScaryAnimalTitle like the ''Film/{{Anaconda}}'' series. However, when Burt brings him in in "Project 4-12", he's is raving about a monster on the loose and our main cast doesn't take him seriously because they think he's talking about El Blanco, ''Tremors'' being a series where being attacked by giant {{Sand Worm}}s are a normal occurrence.
