 Breaking In
comment
Breaking In is a show similar to Leverage or The A-Team, albeit with a more overtly comedic tone. It is about a college student who is employed by a firm that breaks into companies to test their security. FOX swiftly canceled it due to weak performance for a show airing after American Idol. It was Uncancelled when FOX renewed it for a second season, but was cancelled again on April 12, 2012.

Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: Oz is seen at times with samurai swords, bows and arrows, the works. Justified in that his heist business would most likely reap a lot of rewards.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: In the pilot of season 2, Josh has disappeared without explanation. Dutch is gone too, but they at least Handwave it as his having been arrested for selling clean urine to airline pilots.

comment
Shout-Out: Creepy Carol puts on her lipstick just like Molly Ringwald does in The Breakfast Club. (Badly.) Melanie's father's cover name, Gordon Shumway (the real name of the title character from ALF). For the Comicon mission, Josh disguised himself as a Na'vi Cash's crush is named An(n)a Ng The Indiana Jones' tribute. Thanks to appropriately-named guest characters, an episode titled Heathers (They even had a Veronica already)
