7
8	A Mexican/Irish/Australian/American co-production that originally aired on [[Creator/SevenNetwork 7TWO]]. The series takes place in a fairy tale-like setting. Three best friends, Jeremiah, the son of the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk, Trafalgar, the nephew of Merlin the Wizard, and Fury, the daughter of Tooth Fairy, live through a tough life as teenagers and are determined to be themselves, despite their parents' orders and their fairy tale origins.
9
10	Briefly played in the U.S on Creator/TheHub but its run was cut short due to the switch over to ''Discovery Family'' and the network ditching most of their shows.
11
12	!!The series provides examples of:
13	* AdultsAreUseless: See ParentalNeglect and SadistTeacher
14	* AlphaBitch: The show adores this trope. The Grimm Sisters are the main example. Melody is this for the fairies, and directly bullies Fury. Cindy Rella also borders on this. And so does Fury's ex-best friend Adorabella after she's got her wings. Very dangerous as well.
15	* ConsummateLiar: Pinocchio Jr... it's in his nature. He's the son of a puppet he can't help it.
16	* DarkIsNotEvil:
17	** Trafalgar
18	** Ms. Wicked. She was assumed to be DarkIsEvil.
19	* ElegantGothicLolita: Grimm Sisters.
20	* ExpositoryThemeTune
21	* {{Expy}}: Trafalgar resembles [[Franchise/HarryPotter Severus Snape]].
22	* GoodParents: For reason despite him being an evil wizard, Titan Coldface is actually the closest instance of a Good Parent or a Useful Adult in the show since he actually cares for and loves his family.
23	* JerkAss:
24	** Evil Earl, the son of an evil wizard. But you gotta admit he is sometimes a cinnamon roll.
25	** MYRON.
26	** However, The trope of this changes depending on the writer and story, but Earl is the biggest offender. So this would also fall into the DependingOnTheWriter trope.
27	* MeaningfulName: The Grimm Sisters are named after the Creator/BrothersGrimm.
28	* NiceGuy: Jeremiah and Trafalgar, though the latter can be quite boastful of himself even if he means well. Jeremiah falls into the subject though the most as he is the voice of reason in the group.
29	* ParentalNeglect: Almost all of the parents in the show (Titan Coldface is an exception. See GoodParents) are either
30	A: Imcompetent to raise or care for a child properly B: Careless about their child's problems. C: Both
31	* PerkyGoth: Trafalgar and Fury.
32	* SadistTeacher: Mother Goose, [[MoodSwinger most of the time]].
33	* ShipTease:
34	** During the pilot, Trafalgar took Fury out to the prom which would clue in that they may have a relationship as the series progresses.
35	** In "Nice Giants Finish Last", frog-Trafalgar gets a kiss from Fury to turn him back to normal, though Fury says "LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain".
36	** There also is a sort of hint that Jeremiah and Trafalgar could also be in an LGBT relationship as hinted in episodes such as "A Giant Sized Ego".
37	* ShoutOut:
38	** ''Grand Theft Pumpkin 2'', a game Jeremiah and Trafalgar play, is an obvious homage to the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' series.
39	** There's a ''Franchise/StarWars'' reference in "Who's the Best Actress of Them All?"
40	** One episode is titled "[[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon How To Restrain Your Dragon]]".
41	** "Keeping Up With The Arthurians" Probably one of their best ones yet.
42	* TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson: Often there will be pop culture references to stuff from the modern world. I mean, it does make sense since the show is set in a modern version of fairytale history.
43	* ThoseTwoGirls: Grimm Sisters.
44	* TeamPet: Kissy Twinkletoes, rainbow burping unicorn [[spoiler: who later became a pegasus.]]
45	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The main conflict in "Winged Fury" is Fury's tendency to be a tomboy while the other fairies are girly girls.
46	* TragicVillain: It is never explicitly stated that he is tragic, but there are tons of hints throughout the show up to the final few episodes that Evil Earl is one of if not by far the most tragic character in the show. His family had been excluded by society just because of their alignment (sometimes not being their fault) and have been cut out of numerous fairytales. This is what spiraled Earl's bitter personality and insecurities.
47	* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Jeremiah, Trafalgar, and Fury.
