* GoodBadBugs: Normally, when starting the Cavern Rescue or Jaws of Life modes for the first time, it locks a ball to start the mode in conjunction with multiball. However, before plunging the second ball, you can still switch the mode using the flippers, meaning you can start ''any'' of the modes this way. Better yet, it's repeatable as long as you haven't completed both of the aforementioned modes, making your first go-round through the modes infinitely easier.

* ObviousBeta: Overall, the game has a very unfinished feel to it, with at least one unimplemented feature on the playfield, and the DMD often doesn't let you know what's going on or what your shots are doing (for example, the only indication that you've gotten the 30 Million Hurry-Up is that the playfield light turns off).

Added Values Resonance example.
Added DiffLines:
* ValuesResonance: "Bradley's Heimlich Save" has Bradley (a young adult with Down Syndrome) saving his father from choking. The episode illustrates quite clearly that his disability doesn't stop him from doing this at all, and that people with handicaps can be capable of helping others just as well as the able bodied/minded.
-->'''Twila''': I don't think most people who have a handicapped child think of them as being capable of doing something as life changing as life saving. But if they're given the opportunity and the training, they can do it.

However, the teens' remarks during the interviews at the end of the episode made it sound like Nick [[LetsJustBeFriends ended up in the Friend Zone]], and years later, one of Amanda's friends left a comment on [=YouTube=] and said that Amanda had married another guy and had a family.

** It's mentioned that the bombers in "University Pipe Bomb" got 27 or 28 months for planting the bomb, and the word "terrorism" isn't mentioned at all. This alone sets the episode before the Oklahoma City bombing, and ''very much'' pre-9/11 (the incident occurred in 1991).
** Speaking of pre-9/11 stories, "Swiss Army Knife" involves doctors performing an emergency tracheotomy with a Swiss Army knife while on board an airplane. Possible in 1990, but impossible today with TSA restrictions against knives.
** The young woman playing the female intruder in "Teen Hides from Intruders" (set in 1993) is decked out in baggy flannel and looks like she belongs in an early-Nineties {{Grunge}} video.
** The radio show host in "Stinky's Sewer Save" mentions that, the morning he helped in the rescue of the puppy, he was getting tired of people calling in to the show and "complaining about [[UsefulNotes/BillClinton Clinton]]."
** Speaking of EightiesHair, in one episode, the female dispatcher has a short bowl haircut. A Website/YouTube commenter mentioned how dated it was, and the actual dispatcher replied to the comment: [[OldShame It was TOTALLY the 90's....and I wore my hair that way for many years.
