| 1 | * BrokenBase: While everyone agrees that Murphy and Bernice were at least slightly underwhelming in season 1, some in the fanbase feel that developing them further would have helped the show better than replacing them with Mildred (who has a great introduction but who some fans eventually got tired off). |
| 2 | * GrowingTheBeard: The show found its niche in the second season when it removed most of the cliches (see My Name is Not Durwood) and had Steele go from comic relief to legitimate character, as well as adding Mildred Krebs to replace Murphy and Bernice, who many felt were a little stiff. |
| 3 | * MorePopularReplacement: Mildred was much better received than either of the two characters she came to replace. |
| 4 | * OneSceneWonder: Schlubby rival detective Leo Blitzman from "Steele Among the Living" is a particularly memorable guest star due to his hilarious incompetence and his poignant speech about how he had always wanted to be a successful detective but has to take degrading jobs to pay his bills and expects to die alone in a charity ward. [[spoiler:His confession to killing the VictimOfTheWeek and peaceful surrender are also among the most notable AlasPoorVillain moments in the show]]. |
| 5 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Willard Skeggs from "Steele Your Heart Away" is played by Creator/FrankKelly, who would later be best known for playing Father Jack in ''Series/FatherTed''. |
| 6 | * SeasonalRot: Most fans would like to forget the final season happened. |
| 7 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The season 2 double episode opener "Steele Away with Me" features extended action sequences with music obviously based on the Franchise/JamesBond theme, as well as the theme song from ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''. |
| 8 | ** Weirder than that: a perceptive [=YouTube=] commentator has documented [[https://youtu.be/2d9fVUx5WNI the striking resemblance]] between Steele's theme music and the signature transformation of [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 a certain Eternian superhero....]] |
