| 9 | |
| 10 | * ButICantBePregnant: Mary toward the end of the series, though she subsequently miscarries. Considering the character was in her 50's, it was pretty unexpected, if not downright miraculous. |

| 12 | * EveryoneIsArmed: In the first episode some crooks try to rob the bar all the cops hang out at. |
| 13 | %%* InTheBlood |
| 14 | * TheMistress: Joe had Ginny |
| 15 | * StraightGay: Cliff. The audience and his police partner, Mike, don't even learn he's gay till the final episode. |
| 16 | * StupidCrooks: The first episode opened with two crooks attempting to rob a cop bar. Leads to a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} when, as they are about to leave, someone calls out to them. They turn around and discover everyone in the bar, except for the bartender and the waitress, is holding a badge and a gun. |
