 * Badass Family: The Brightstars.
 * Big Bad: Dr. Ringatoni is considered one.
 * Brother-Sister Team: Stanley and Gracie & Sammy and Molly.
 * Butt-Monkey:
 * Laughie. He is frequently beaten up by Dr. Rigatoni when he laughs at him.
 * Stan is often unlucky when trying to get a girl he likes as he either embarasses himself while trying or TBD.

 * Cloudcuckoolander: Molly.
 * Comic-Book Time: TBD

Trivia

 * Adored by the Network: TBD
 * Author Existence Failure: William Hanna died in 2001 and Joseph Barbera died in 2006.
 * Cash Cow Franchise: TBD
 * Channel Hop: following the merger of Turner Broadcasting System with Time Warner in 1996, Supenova Spies and all other Hanna-Barbera properties became part of Warner Bros. Animation.
 * Dawson Casting: in most media, all children and teenage characters are voiced by adults.
 * Executive Meddling: TBD
 * Fan Nickname: TBD
 * Fake American: [Jennifer, Tara and Maurice, since all three are Canadians]
 * Fake Nationality: TBD
 * Logo Joke: on Dawn, the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo replaces Bugs Bunny munching a carrot with Scooby-Doo eating a Scooby Snack.
 * The earlier direct-to-video films also use this variant, although retaining the majestic rearrangement of the Looney Tunes theme song.
 * Rule 34 - Creator Reactions: let's just say both Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera aren't exactly fond of this.
 * Technology Marches On: TBD
 * The Other Darrin: TBD
 * What Could Have Been:
 * Supernova Spies was originally meant to be yet another Scooby-Doo clone. More TBD
 * In the early drafts of Dawn of the Supernova Spies, Greg Burson was planned to voice Prof. Ezekiel Roares, but after a certain incident that caused him to be blacklisted from Hollywood, he has been replaced by Joe Alaskey, who already inherited most of his Warner Bros. roles (especially the ones of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck).

YMMV

 * Accidental Innuendo: TBD
 * Alternative Character Interpretation: TBD
 * And You Thought It Would Fail: safe for The Smurfs, itself based on a licensed property, most 1980s Hanna-Barbera shows were mainly lacklusters. However, Supernova Spies managed to break that curse by adopting a formula closer to the one used in their earlier years, although TBD.
