 * Several characters from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends make cameos in billboards or as toys.
 * Creator's Oddball: This is the first time since 2014 that Sam Liu worked on a non-DC project.
 * Deconstruction: Of the "reunite divorced parents" plots. Unlike many other shows, where they overcome their issues and get back together, they only bring them to the fore, almost make things worse, and, in the end, the couple remains divorced.
 * Expy: Elizabeth is pretty much a female Gus.
 * I Want You To Meet A Friend of Mine: Candi Milo and Janice Kawaye reunite after Nickelodeon's My Life as a Teenage Robot.
 * Nightmare Fuel: What else to expect from people who worked on The Owl House and Amphibia?
 * The episode "Missing" reeks with Adult Fear. Little Julie is walking around the street, separated from her mother, when she suddenly sees gang members commiting a crime. Not wanting to get exposed, the gang kidnaps her and threatens to kill her. Any parent watching must have been terrified of such sight.
 * The gang leader herdelf is quite scary, being a sadistic Card-Carrying Villain who sees no trouble with killing kids.
 * Jerome can be quite scary. He's pretty much an intelligent dinosaur from Jurassic Park.
 * Production Posee: Most of the team was brought back by Dana Terrace from Disney's The Owl House, such as executive producer Sabrina Coutgno and composer T.J. Hill. Matt Brasly and Rebbeca Sugar also brought back some of their own collaborators from Amphibia and Steven Universe, respectively,
 * Shown Their Work: The series was lauded particularly by how realistic divorce is potrayed, particularly with how children react to divorce.
 * Stepford Smiler: Marie shows signs of being one to some extent, as the struggles of single motherhood come to fore.
 * Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
 * While the two indeed went througth divorce, Marie and Bob's meetings are awkward rather than full of rage or tension. Not all divorced couples break up out of anger. Sometimes things just don't work out.
 * The girls' attempt througth the season to reunite her parents, which fails spectacularly. After all, if people break up, they do for a reason.
 * Take That!: In episode 3, Marie tries to take care of a missile by transporting it to... the world of Teen Titans Go!.
 * Visual Pun: Alive is a female dog-like creature with a rich background; in other words, she's a Rich Bitch.
