Creator Breakdown | |
The Lunchroom / int_10f35f3a | comment |
Creator Breakdown:invoked Brian starts to lose it in "Writing Wrongs" when no one will review his book, The Chronicles of Haven. He creates a phony user name and praises his own work on a highly acclaimed website called Simply Novels. Even with the fake praise, no one reads the story which leads Brian to rant against the site and ultimately gets him banned. | |

The Lunchroom / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Joel's mom getting remarried and moving her family were dropped after Season 1. The episode "With Friends Like These..." was supposed to be the start of a storyline involving Casey "breaking up" with The Gang and looking for new friends. This was later dropped. Stacy's attempts at figuring out what to do after high school were dropped after only a few episodes in Season 3. "Suicidals Deserve to Die" sets up an arc of Will chasing after Stacy which never happened. | |

He goes to great lengths to ruin Chris Hughes' life after he finds his daughter performing oral sex on him. Even worse, he's secretly a member of The Klan and it's hinted that his actions against Chris are racially motivated. | |

Out of Focus | |
The Lunchroom / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Kirk briefly got pushed to the background in Season 3 until Joseph was introduced. Despite getting a large amount of screen time in Season 2, Dr. Sollett soon disappears in Season 3. Any of Will's love interests outside of Ellen Conner. Or his math partners Josh and Emily from Season 1. Mr. Zimmer slowly disappeared once Mr. Parker became a major character. For some odd reason, Cathy suffered from this in Season 4. She only appeared in half the episodes, usually with minimal dialogue or things to do.. Margie Mayberry. She's set up to be a big focal point in the show's first season but was never brought up again. | |

Always in Class One: Subverted: While certain pairings (Will/Brian; Reicther/Brock; Casey/Brock) frequently end up in the same class, never once has the entire main cast ended up in the same class.

Seinfeldian Conversation: Many: The debate about Natalie Portman's chest size in "The Show Must Go On". Will and Ellen's discussing the true meaning of the Muppet song "The Rainbow Connection." "Time Stands Still" opens with The Gang talking about how zombies could be scarier. Characters frequently argue about fictional characters fighting and who would win such as Wolverine vs. Spider-Man and Mario vs. Link The Star Wars conversations. Way too many to list. Likewise, Aquaman is brought up constantly. Will even wrote a screenplay about him. | |

Demotedto Extra: Happened to Rene David in Season 2. Despite being Will's love interest and the closest thing to a female lead the show had in the first season, she only has a few minor scenes before disappearing without explanation. | |

BlackAndGreyMorality | |
The Lunchroom / int_588d766f | comment |
Black-and-Grey Morality: The Gang can sometimes be inconsiderate assholes but you still root for them, seeing as how their enemies, with one or two possible exceptions, are way more unpleasant than they are, and because the the trials they face make them grow out of being assholes. Examples include: Brock making out with Kay while she was fighting with Casey. When Casey finds out he nearly beats Brock to death in the cafeteria. Will stops hanging out with Ellen simply because the girl he's dating — whom he realizes he doesn't love in the same episode — told him to. A few episodes later Will dumps said girlfriend for cheating despite having no proof. Joel secretly dating Cathy behind Brian's back. Mr. Parker and Ms. Ballard have no problem blackmailing Principal Stevens into getting their jobs back. When Chris first learns of Kate's mental illness he literally runs away from the problem. Ironically Casey is so loving and nice to Kay that it causes her parents to realize their marriage is dead leading to a divorce. Both Cathy and Stacy accidentally get knocked up because they cheated on their significant others. | |

Limited Social Circle: For a lot of the show's run it is just The Gang. While friendly with various other students, it's implied they just don't want other friends outside the group. This is why they go to such extremes when it looks like Brandon Brim might join their group in Season 4. Ellen mostly just hangs out with Will and Cathy. | |

Ellen's father walked out when she was young, causing her to be overly cautious when it comes to romantic relationships. Stacy's real father was killed when she only a baby. It's pretty much all but confirmed that Reicther's grandfather was a Nazi. Kate Davison has been dealing with mental illness since the 1st Grade. | |

Foreshadowing: Stacy mentions she has a thing for Keira Knightley and other female celebrities. When Chris and Kate first meet in "Shades of Gray", she briefly mentions that she was just released from Eastern Psych for having "problems". "The Mourning After" showed Principal Stevens as a member of The Klan foreshadowing his battles with Chris Hughes. In "Quest for the Nintendo Wii", Brian blows off the S.A.T.s to stand in line for a new video game console foreshadowing his struggles in school. Chris doesn't realize that Lorelei is Principal Stevens' daughter even though he first met her right outside his office. Subverted in Season 4's "Rehearsals for Departure". In the previous season, Will had been warned by a hallucination that pursuing Ellen Conner would be "bad" and lead to "nothing but heartbreak". One year later Will sees the same hallucination who admits that he lied. | |

Continuity Nod: A Season 4 episode centered on Brian trying to get feedback on his fantasy story, one which he started writing in the very first episode. In Season 5, The Prankster who torments Reicther turns out to be Richard who's getting him back for making cripple jokes in Season 1. Characters occasionally will mention Reicther's head injury from "Comfortably Numb" something he has no memory of. The opening Season 5 montage mirrors the opening montage from the first episode. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
The Lunchroom / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: The first two seasons are wacky and lighthearted (to a fault in the case of Season 2) with things getting slightly more serious in Season 3. By the last two seasons, the show was killing characters and showing the darker sides of the main cast. Principal Stevens is best example of this. He starts off as a harmless Dean Bitterman type before later seasons turn him into a crazy, racist who expels Chris Hughes for dating his daughter and takes Mr. Parker hostage. | |

Cathy Matthews appeared in one Brian-centric episode before her introduction as a recurring character in season 3. In Season 4 she would become a main cast member. Arthur Winchester was a random member of Drama Club in Season 4 before becoming Will's main rival for Ellen in Season 5. | |

Brick Joke: "Brian's Odyssey" opens with The Gang receiving various prized possessions that Brian has left them in order to fake his own death. Several episodes later, Brian has a meltdown when he The Gang won't give his stuff back. Near the start of "Kirk & Joseph's Bogus Journey" Ellen mocks the Oasis song "Wonderwall" for being "predicable and boring". Guess which song Billy Harmon wins with? In "Time Stands Still", Brian briefly mentions that he wanted The Gang to be called The Centerville Avengers when they were younger, an idea Will calls stupid. When we flashback to The Gang in middle school, we discover Will also wanted The Gang to be called that...but gave up once Joel said it was stupid. | |
