Early Edition/YMMV
- Funny Aneurysm Moment: The Christmas Episode had the scene where Santa grabs a bomb and is presumably killed. A similar situation happens in Grey's Anatomy when a bomb squad guy played by Kyle Chandler is killed after removing a replica bazooka shell lodged in a man's gut.
- Near the end of the pilot, Gary tells Det. Tagliotti that he hopes to never see her again. The next episode showed she got demoted with Crumb taking her place.
- Hey, It's That Guy!: So much. Felicity Huffman, Cynthia Nixon, Jane Krakowski, Fyvush Finkel, Peri Gilpin, Neil Flynn, Kathy Najimy and Roger Ebert. And that's just season 1.
- Iron Woobie: Again, Gary, for the same reasons as The Determinator.
- The Scrappy: Patrick. Made worse that he's named after one of the creators, Patrick Q. Page.
