Recess	comment	Recess is an American animated television series that was created by Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere (who worked on Rugrats until the show was originally supposed to end in 1994), and produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. It ran from September 13, 1997, to November 5, 2001, simultaneously on ABC (Saturday mornings) and UPN (Sunday mornings and weekday afternoons, beginning in 1999).The series focuses on six elementary school students and their interaction with their schoolmates and teachers. In many respects, it serves as an animated knock-off of prisoner-of-war movies such as The Great Escape... combined with a generally positive depiction of the elementary school experience.The main characters were: T.J. Detweiler, the leader of the gang and the one who comes up with the Zany Schemes. Vince LaSalle, the sportsman. Gretchen Grundler, the group's genius who loves science, yet also kickball. Ashley Spinelli, usually referred to by her last name, who was the "toughest kid in school".note Also, since She Cleans Up Nicely, counts as a Cute Bruiser. Mikey Blumberg, the very tall yet good-hearted poet and deep-voiced singer. Gus Griswald, the new kid at Third Street.Many plots would deal with the kids' Serious Business attitude about simple grade school life, mostly, among other aspects, recess. This includes having a designated 'King'. Nicknames for each other based on their main 'quality' (Swinger Girl, The Diggers, Pale Kids etc.), and the concept of popular fads quickly taking over playground demographics. The series was also well known for its large Periphery Demographic, due to every episode having at least one Parental Bonus.The series was notably the only show to premiere in the initial season of Disney's One Saturday Morning that would last the entirety of the block's run, going on well into the first two years of ABC Kids (The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh doesn't count, as it originally ran on ABC from 1988 to 91; they put it on to fulfill ABC stations' E/I quotas). It was also rerun the most out of all the shows on One Saturday Morning, pretty much being on all of Disney Channel's affiliates at one point or another. It was one of the few older shows to air on Disney XD after Toon Disney shut down.In 2001, a film based on the series, Recess: School's Out, was released in theaters to positive reception. Please put all tropes relating to the movie there. In 2003, the film (and the show itself) was followed up with a Direct to Video sequel and finale, Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade. The main six characters (and Miss Finster) themselves last appeared in a 2006 crossover episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series. There was also Recess: All Growed Down (2003), which, despite consisting of three previous episodes, one new episode, and framing material, is still considered a "movie" by Disney.The series and movies are currently available to stream on Disney+.

Recess / int_10b58de3	type	Genius Burnout
Recess / int_10b58de3	comment	Genius Burnout: "A Genius Among Us" (itself a Whole-Plot Reference to Good Will Hunting) has Child Prodigy Gretchen realizing that Hank, the Third Street School's janitor, is a mathematical genius after he solves a seemingly-impossible equation left on a chalkboard. The two become fast friends, but when news of Hank's brilliance gets out, he's recruited by NASA, the U.S. Armed Forces, and major universities to come and work on all manner of top-level projects. Hank politely declines by invoking this trope, explaining that if he did mathematics and science all the time, he'd lose his passion for it and eventually burn out. He happily stays as Third Street's janitor, although he and Gretchen still meet to discuss math every once in a while. In "Old Folks' Home," the kids volunteer at a retirement home. Gretchen meets an elderly man who has apparently been silent for years. After trying and failing to come up with topics that might interest him, she sarcastically suggests that they discuss subatomic particles — and he lights up immediately. It turns out the silent man was one of the scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project (the research and development of the atomic bomb) during World War II. He goes on to explain that he stopped talking years ago because he hasn't found anyone smart enough to justify "the expulsion of carbon dioxide," but remarks that Gretchen "seems possessed of a mind" and eagerly chats with her.

When T.J. asks her where she could go, Spinelli says "somewhere far far away" where no one will ever call her a "mama's girl" again. We then cut to Spinelli alone in a tower somewhere in the Alaskan tundra with no one for miles. Just as she's getting used to her new surroundings a voice suddenly calls: "Is mama's little girl ready for school?" Cut to Spinelli waking up in bed to the sound of her mother telling to get up.

The joke became less funny once the show started to play on Disney Channel, Toon Disney, Disney XD, and outside the US (also when the block became ABC Kids, as they had abandoned the practice by then).

Bizarrely, sports loving Vince is the hyper-competent coach schooling Spinelli in how to win in a Pageant. His justification is that his characterization is hyper-competitive and will learn how to win at any competition he sets his mind to... he's meticulously studied Beauty Pageants just in case one of his friends was challenged to win one and needed to be taught how to win one. Ultimately, Spinelli wins by explaining to the judges that her rehearsed lines weren't really who or what she's all about, who in turn find it refreshing that for once, someone isn't using the same cliche lines.

"Partners in Crime" takes this trope to its logical extreme when neither Randall nor Menlo are picked at all for a game of tag.

Mikey claims his head hurts and he runs out into the backyard to be alone, and then one of the kindergarteners says to T.J. "Now we play Pin Tail on Big Kid!" and chases him.

Losing all his self-confidence, things only worsen to the point he can't even make a basic kick anymore, until his friends coax him into kicking a (supposedly) modified ball to bring back his self-esteem and competence. Deliberately initiated in another episode. After Vince becomes conceited about his victory streak in sports games, the rest of the gang dare him to lose. He does so, and acts even more smug about it. It comes to a head when he is against someone as skilled and possibly more conceited. Vince then tries to win after losing and either has to win the game (for pride) or lose (for his friends). He chooses the latter.

Recess / int_2711e392	comment	The Complainer Is Always Wrong: Nicely deconstructed in "Good Ol' T.J." In the episode, Gretchen becomes frustrated with T.J.'s ability to charm his way out of any kind of punishment from teachers. It only gets worse when they're paired together for an assignment on ancient Mesopotamia. While Gretchen does a huge amount of research, T.J. goofs around and comes up with the idea to build a ziggurat out of sugar cubes and put an army man inside. Gretchen voices her complaints to her friends, and they tell her she's wrong about T.J., and should just relax and let him handle all the work. When the project goes bad, Miss Grotke gives them a "barely passing" grade; T.J.'s fine with it, but Gretchen is devastated. This is when the subversion comes in—T.J. realizes that Gretchen, unlike his other friends, cares a lot about academics, and that he was wrong to not take that into consideration. He stays up all night and puts together a new project, presenting in the next day with Gretchen's help. It's another sign that the main characters weren't just a group of friends—they had individual personalities, and sometimes, they were right to complain about each other.

Even further, it actually replaced the timeslot for Recess on ABC Kids, though both shows were in repeats by then. Also Lloyd in Space, which was made by the same creators and features almost all of the same voice actors. Most notably is Lloyd, who shares the same voice as Gus (Courtland Mead). The show's been considered one to Peanuts, ever since it started airing.

Recess / int_286141a2	type	Unexpectedly Dark Episode
Recess / int_286141a2	comment	Unexpectedly Dark Episode: Despite being a light-hearted show about group of kids and their adventures at school, there were a few dark and serious episodes: "Prickly Is Leaving". We were introduced to Dr. Slicer, the most evil villain in the series, who employed cruel and unusual tactics to control the school and, unlike Finster or Prickly, only cared about power without regard for the students' welfare. His behavior even disgusted Miss Finster, and TJ (who was never afraid to stand up to adults before or since) was completely scared of him. He was ousted in the end, but consider this: Third Street wasn't the first school he was principal of, and likely would not be the last. "The Biggest Trouble Ever" is a Wham Episode for the series. It involves the gang accidentally breaking the statue of Thaddeus T. Third III and become the town's most hated people. Ms. Finster punishes them by making them work menial jobs. But the real reason why the episode is so dark is what happens later: Mayor Fitzhugh, the mayor of Third Street, decides to send the Recess Gang to six separate schools, even though they were remorseful and Prickly and Ms. Finster objected. Throughout the episode, Fitzhugh looked very gleefully sadistic about the whole thing, and only relented when Third's own grandson, demanding that they be pardoned, threatened to expose Fitzhugh's own (deliberate) past misbehavior regarding the statue. The Halloween episode which is non-canon, does a parody of both Christine and Maximum Overdrive, adult horror novels. The episode is presented quite well in a very creepy atmosphere, with Mikey's Bike coming to life and stalking him, then all the other vehicles in the city. The ending shows everyone cramming into a driverless bus, which drives off with everyone trapped inside. And just ends there. It never said what happened next, but it's obviously implied that everyone is going to be killed offscreen.

It was lampshaded at the end of the movie: Gus also had a slight lisp in some of the early episodes, as Courtland Mead had one at the time. Averted with T.J., unlike the other male characters. Because the creators wanted his voice to always sound cute and youthful, he was replaced three times. Miss Finster was less sinister sounding in the early episodes of season one. When T.J.'s mom first appeared in "Parents Night", she had a higher voice (Similar to the one April Winchell uses for Peg Pete or Lydia Pearson). For the rest of the series (And movies), April Winchell used her natural voice for her.

This is a sharp contrast to "The Shiner", which aired almost a year earlier, where T.J. gets a black eye and has it over the course of a few days.

Recess / int_32da91b8	comment	Out of Focus: Aside from Gretchen, the other five members of the gang aren't in the spotlight in "The Girl was Trouble". "More Like Gretchen" focuses more on Spinelli and Gretchen than the rest of the main six. "Weekend at Muriel's" has Spinelli as the major focus, and the rest of the main six only appear in the begining and at the end of the episode. "Bad Hair Day" sends the two girls in the team to a science convention, causing them not to appear until the very end of the episode "League of Randalls" puts the main six out of focus, then brings them in briefly for their plan, then they're gone for the rest of the episode. This would end up happening to Miss Grotke in the later episodes While Vince appears in every episode, he has the least amount of focus out of all the main six characters.

Unfortunately, the thought of leaving the only friends she's ever had and everything she's ever known behind reduces her to a mixture of panic and defeated depression, remembering how lonely she used to be due to her intelligence. TJ comes up with one of his usual schemes to keep this from happening.

Recess / int_34082c59	comment	Wolverine Publicity: Being the highest rated and most popular show on One Saturday Morning (and Disney's One Too), T.J. and the gang were always front and center and the most prominent on every advertisement, print or on TV, for the blocks. To the point where it continued even after Recess had aired its' final episode. Spinelli and Gus got this type of publicity during Recess promos on Toon Disney, overshadowing Mikey, Vince, Gretchen, and T.J.. Though this is somewhat justified as Spinelli and Gus were only second behind T.J. as the most popular and iconic characters of the series (The three were the most prominant on every promotional item released since the 1990s), and it would've been too difficult for T.J. to get new dialogue written for the promos due to Andrew Lawrence's voice breaking (And possibly Myles Jeffrey's depending on when they were recorded), and it was easier with Gus and Spinelli because Courtland Mead's voice hadn't had broke yet for Gus, and Pamela Adlon was already an adult when she began voicing Spinelli so her voice would never have broken. Once Courtland Mead's voice broke, Spinelli took front-and-center on almost every promo for the show until Toon Disney's demise in 2009.

In "First Name Ashley", the first kid to join the Ashleys after everyone changes their name to Ashley is Gretchen—whose voice actress is actually named Ashley! In the episode "The Dude", the main six meet Franklin Dudikoff, the school's original charismatic prankster (Like T.J.) in the '80s, who's now back to become a teacher. T.J. looks up to him like an older brother. The Dude is voiced by Joey Lawrence, who's the older brother of T.J.'s (then) voice actor, Andy Lawrence. In Recess: School's Out, T.J.'s sister, Becky, is shown talking on the phone in one scene with her friend, Melissa. Becky's voiced by Melissa Joan Hart. In Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade, Becky is voiced by Tara Strong instead of Melissa Joan Hart. In two made-for-TV movies for Sabrina the Teenage Witch, both of them star in the films: Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina, and Tara Strong as Gwen.

Recess / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The school starts a sit-in, in protest of their jungle gym, Old Rusty, about to be torn down. After their parents are called, they instead decide to join in the protest as they have many fond memories of Old Rusty as well, and since several of them actually have some pull, being apart of the PTA, and whatnot. Principal Prickly is forced to relent. Unfortunately, with all the kids and their parents, many of whom, probably weigh two to three times as much as their kids, sitting on the jungle gym, it collapses under the excess weight. In the season 1 episode "Officer Mikey", Mikey Blumberg really wants to become a safety ranger, even saying that it's his dream. But after his friends go through a lot of effort to help him get into the rangers, he quits because it's too much hard work, and he says that he now has a dream of being a jet pilot. Most kids Mikey's age can't handle that kind of responsibility and have new dreams of what they want all the time; if Mikey's friends had just waited, he would have gotten over it in time without them having to go through all that effort. In "Recess Is Cancelled", the Secretary of Education theorizes that eliminating recess can bring test scores up. What follows soon gives lie to said theory, as the kids become so bored that they can't even focus in class, and their test scores go down, necessitating the return of recess. "The Trial" involves Randall accusing Spinelli of throwing a rock at him. When Spinelli reveals that she was saving Miss Finster's cat at the time Randall got hit by the rock, Randall is forced to fess up that he himself threw the rock and beaned himself on the head. King Bob loses no time in sentencing him to the swirlie for perjury and for wasting his time. In "Big Brother Chad", the whole playground is excited to see Vince's older brother, Chad, who acted like The Ace to them during their kindergarten years, only to discover that he is in fact a nerd. Gretchen lampshades that in hindsight this makes perfect sense, since no popular self respecting fifth grader would have likely given them the time of day, just to them at such a young age, Chad still seemed cool. In "The A.V. Kid", TJ and Vince stop fighting each other and work together to solve the final problem, seeming to set up The Power of Friendship... and are promptly disqualified from the position because it's a solitary job that is ill-suited to more social students. In "A Genius Among Us", one of the jobs Hank rejects is working with a supercomputer at a university, and the professor angrily tells him, "That $18,000 will go to someone else!" Considering this is an elementary school that serves its teachers pheasant prepared by a private chef, it's not surprising that Hank wouldn't exactly find this offer all that tempting.

The Gang travels to his house and T.J. returns the money, with Thaddeus not even giving him a "thank you."

The other kids are disgusted by this, but Gus eventually tries it out for himself, and he agrees that it actually tastes good. In "Chez Vince," Vince is wrangled into improving the cafeteria food. To vat of gray mush the lunch ladies identify as, "Meat... mostly", Vince adds various different ingredients, ranging from different spices and other additives like eggs and onions. The meat still looks exactly the same, but the added ingredients to go over really well with both the students and the lunch ladies.

SAL is initially happy to serve the school and the students, dismissing the kids to recess on time, helping them out as they're on the playground, and giving them temperature controlled water at the water fountain. However, as time passes on, he becomes more tyrannical and cruel as he monitors every activity of every student and faculty member, as shown when he refuses Mikey water, forces Swinger Girl to stop swinging, has the Diggers patch up their holes (according to Vince), and dethrones King Bob (according to Gus). Eventually, he gets to the point where he fires all the staff, takes their place, and threatens to lock everyone inside the school (and he has total control of the doors, windows and practically everything in the school)

In "Wild Child", the six main characters are each paired up with a kindergartener. As T.J. tries to find activities for him and his kid to do together, they inadvertently bother/harass/generally annoy various other people on the playground. At the end of the episode, T.J. gives his new friend his beloved hat...only to realize that he still has a bunch of angry kids after his blood when they show up to seek revenge. He's surprised when the angry group is able to spot him, as he genuinely believed that taking off his hat would render him completely unrecognizable.

Recess / int_580b8c1e	comment	New Kid Stigma: In "The New Kid", when Gus announces himself as the new kid at 3rd Street School to King Bob, he is declared as such in front of the school. As a result, everyone only ever calls him "New Kid", even the teachers, he's made to sit at the back of the bus, and isn't allowed to take part in team sports. On his third day, everyone decides to turn his situation around and welcome him as Gus... until King Bob shows up, whereupon everyone goes back to calling him "New Kid". It isn't until Gus blows up in front of King Bob and says he wants his name back that King Bob gives it back and he finally gets some respect. In the episode "Here Comes Mr. Perfect", a kid named Jared Smith (who has a history of being hated in 32 schools prior) arrives to Third Street Elementary and quickly ends up being hated there as well. The twist is that he is hated because he is a Parody Sue — he is so much better than any other student that the eventual response of the kids is to make him their enemy. Jared points out that he never wanted to be "Mr. Perfect" and the only reason he kept demonstrating his skills was that everybody kept looking for ways to bring him down. This makes the other students feel ashamed and decide to make him their friend (and he gets asked by the Secret Service to help the President and hops into a Harrier jump jet to never be seen again).

The Monstickers and Ajimbo games especially take the cake. In "Spinelli's Masterpiece", when Spinelli creates an elaborate work of art with colored chalk on the blacktop, the gang are so impressed with her creation that they do everything they can to prevent anyone else from destroying her creation, bringing all other kids up to the jungle gym for the best vantage point to see her drawing, even convincing Miss Finster and Principal Prickly that the drawing must be preserved. Subverted at the end when Spinelli scoffs, "It's just a stupid chalk drawing."

The combined weight of all the people on the jungle gym ends up destroying it, but the construction crew ends up replacing it with a model that is in every way the same, except less dangerous (and so, it was renamed "New Rusty"). So, both aspects of this trope are subverted.

"The Economics of Recess": After a few days of sickness, T.J. returns to school and finds that "mon-stickers" have become the currency of the student body. He begins to do various odd jobs in exchange for stickers, and gradually works his way up the ladder to be the richest kid on the playground, only to go mad with power and become a profit-obsessed tyrant. The rest of the Recess Gang then teams up to make alien stickers the new currency, leaving T.J. at the bottom of the barrel again. They hope T.J. has learned his lesson...but he immediately rushes off to start doing more chores for people, and they all sigh. "Copycat Kid": After believing Vince has saved him from being killed by a baseball, Mikey decides to idolize and copy him throughout the course of the episode, leading Vince to act like Mikey temporarily in order for him to snap out of the phase. At the end of the episode, Mikey prevents a baseball from hitting Randall, the same way Vince did for him.

Despite James Woods' snarky performance and his rather mundane motive of abolishing recess, he shows far more unnerving and maniacal zeal in his efforts than any other antagonist so far, willing to capture and potentially harm people who interfere (including children) and sending one minion to an ambiguous punishment of "detention" from which he does not return.

Recess / int_7ea2a915	comment	Animation Bump: The Movie has better animation than the cartoon, but then again it had a much larger budget and didn't have the deadlines as the animated series has. You can spot some Animation Goofs in the series, such as Gus apparently showing up in a crowd before he actually transferred to school, Gretchen vanishing in mid-air and students appearing as stickmen. Any episode by Grimsaem also falls into this trope. Out of all five animation studios working on the series note Sunwoo Entertainment, Plus One Animation, Toon City, Anivision, and Grimsaem (The latter two are currently divisions of Sunwoo), their episodes were noticeably the most fluid and well animated. Most of their notable episodes were made during season one, such as the show's first episode. They also did the title sequence.

It turns out the silent man was one of the scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project (the research and development of the atomic bomb) during World War II. He goes on to explain that he stopped talking years ago because he hasn't found anyone smart enough to justify "the expulsion of carbon dioxide," but remarks that Gretchen "seems possessed of a mind" and eagerly chats with her.

And the fact that another episode has the kids take the Arkansas Standard Achievement Test makes the location of Third Street School even more ambiguous.

Recess / int_86daf505	comment	Parental Bonus: The episode "The Library Kid" featured the gang cornering said Library Kid in the Philosophy section, with Gretchen calling out "Head her towards the existentialists; there's no exit over there," a reference to Sartre's play. The actual opening looks like an elementary school version of Hogan's Heroes. More than half the humor in Recess requires a high-school level of education to notice, much less understand. Then there's the episode that was a homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey. The titles of some episodes like "Kids in the Mist". Recess: School's Out has lots of references to various things. Among them, Ms. Finster yelling, "Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!", and the song "Green Tambourine" (sung by Robert Goulet, no less) playing over the end credits while the kids danced in front of a psychedelic background. Ms. Grotke was reading Beowulf out loud. And just happened to be reading the part where Beowulf rips Grendel's arm off and begins beating him with it. The Halloween episode was a outright retelling of both Christine and Maximum Overdrive, both adult horror movies. The episode King Gus climaxes with Gus ordering his underlings to throw dodgeballs at anti-monarchy protestors; a cut to a pram rolling down some stairs makes it a clear homage to Battleship Potemkin.

Recess / int_9335ac5d	comment	Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: Done quite a bit with: Principal Prickly, one of the main antagonists, sometimes appears in this light. Despite having shown to detest the children and appearing to be quite fond of simply locking them up in detention, several times he's shown to really enjoy Recess as an act of nostalgia. One episode even implies that he and several friends hid a chest full of toys from when he was growing up specifically for later students to find. The Movie also sheds further light on this. Ms. Finster, the other primary antagonist, and Randall fit this trope sometimes with how Randall is sometimes friendly, while Muriel has actually got a heart of gold underneath the hard exterior. The episode where she takes care of Spinelli for the weekend also illustrates this. And just because she gave TJ Detention doesn't mean she doesn't like him! The old woman in the episode The Lost Ball actually doesn't steal the balls thrown into her yard...she keeps them because nobody comes over to claim them.

Recess / int_93dfbd86	comment	Converted Fanboy: In the episode "Lord of the Nerds," due to a broken arm, TJ is forced to spend his recesses inside with the much-maligned "Pale Kids." Warned that a rather diminutive boy named Tiny Sedgwick was previously sentenced to the same fate only to disappear from the playground forever, TJ is of course apprehensive. Meeting the group, he discovers they are merely a group of nerdier kids who spend their free time playing Tabletop RPGs and proceeds to bond with them. Always the bridge builder, TJ proceeds to convince the group's very tall leader to spend a recess outside so the other kids aren't so scared of him and his friends. Predictably, local bully Lawson attempts to start trouble with the pale kids, ultimately threatening to do to them what they did to Tiny Sedgwick. This gets him a derisive laugh from the nerds' leader who reveals that he is Tiny Sedgwick having thrived in his new environment.

In a fantasy sequence in "The Lost Ball", Paul Germain's son, Thomas Germain, was mentioned. One of the science teachers in the show is named Mr. Germain. In "The Challenge", the landscaping crew that came to the school was "Paul & Joe's Landscaping". "Paul and Joe" are once referenced as undesirable names.

While at first things were good, Spinelli started to advise the kids to use violence to the point where almost every kid was fighting with each other on the playground. Spinelli does not see the problem, as she gleefully advises the kids to use violent moves and badmouths Guru Kid for not giving the kids "advice they could use," which, as Vince points out, is advice kids could use on each other. Eventually, the kids turn on Spinelli, blaming her for the negative consequences of their actions. Guru Kid steps in and saves Spinelli by pointing out that they all chose to follow Spinelli's advice, and that they are in control of their own actions. The kids concede his point, admitting that no one said they actually had to listen to Spinelli.

Mikey becomes sad, stating that becoming a safety ranger was his dream. So Mikey's friends try to help him, learning that the captain can be overruled if a potential recruit is personally sponsored by two other guards. They find two guards, Allen and Ronnie, who are willing to sponsor Mikey if they can make their dream of singing the national anthem over the school PA at the weekly flag raising ceremony come true. They go to Menlo, who helps Miss Lemon with the flag ceremony every week, and he agrees to help them if they make his dream of carrying Ashley A. book come true, Ashley A. agrees if they can get her diary back from her little sister Brittany who stole it, Brittany agrees to give back the diary if they can make her dream come true of her sitting on King Bob's throne, Bob agrees if the gang can give him a true friend that does not care that he's king, someone that just see him as Bob. The gang give Bob a puppy, he lets Brittany sit on his throne, who gives Ashley A. her diary back, who lets Menlo carry her books, who has Allen and Ronnie sing the national anthem over the school PA at the ceremony. Finally, Allen and Ronnie sponsor Mikey and he gets in the safety rangers. The gang go into school happy they made Mikey's dream come true, only to find Mikey eating in the cafeteria. Shocked they ask him what he's doing, and Mikey reveals he quit. When they're shocked, since he hasn't even been a safety ranger for a day, Mikey explains how he had a rotten day - he has to get up early, miss breakfast, and it rained. Also, when he tries to stop kids from skateboarding, they spit at him. Mikey tells his friends he had a new dream of being a jet pilot; as he finishes talking, he notices the gang has left. The episode Pharaoh Bob has King Bob force the entire student body to construct a mud pyramid dedicated to his tenure as king. In midst of the student rebellion, rain begins to pour and melts away his pyramid. With or without the rebellion, the pyramid was doomed from the start. In "Me No Know", Vince spends the entire episode trying to find a way to see a movie that the rest of the school has seen and is quoting constantly which leaves him feeling left out. However after he sees the movie he gets caught by his parents and then grounded which includes not being able to watch television. The next Monday at school he finds out that everyone has moved on from the movie and is now quoting a television show, something he can't watch but could have if he had just waited a week which makes all his efforts for naught.

They are eager to implement these rules and since King Bob is busy trying to dictate his memoirs he orders his two lackeys to enforce them. At first, the kids are happy but things quickly turn sour because the rules are increasingly more like farm chores than games. The trope is then invoked by T.J. because the lackeys use literal "fun police" to force the children to adhere to the rules of King Morty so long as they are on the playground so T.J. simply has the kids leave the playground. The lackeys try to arrest the entire school anyway which causes a riot until King Bob shows up. The kids explain the ridiculous rules to King Bob who agrees that they are years and years out of date (King Morty lived in The Great Depression), and so declares the rules of King Morty void.

Thirty years later, he tried to get rid of summer vacation to keep kids in school longer, thinking it would raise test scores, although it is pretty clear that he's only in it to advance his career. In one scene, he derides Prickly for "always standing up for the rights of children."

Everything from how a scuffle is conducted to weird superstitions is treated as deadly serious, and God help you if you don't automatically know all the rules; if you're really lucky, you'll have friends who not only do know the rule you broke, but how to restore your honor as well. The word "whomp" is treated a so bad a swear that SWAT teams are brought in and the kids are out in court. In the episode where the kids protest the tearing down of an old jungle gym by staying on it endlessly, Prickly decides to initiate "Plan P", which Ms. Grotke calls "extreme". The plan: calling the kids' parents. In "Me No Know", Vince ends up grounded for a week after he goes to see a popular new movie that his parents forbade him from seeing. They forbade him from seeing it because it's (gasp!) a brainless screwball comedy. For effect, the writers invent a fictional movie rating (NK-11, as in "No Kid Under 11"), just so Vince is actually too young to see the movie.

After everyone breaks out of the game's "spell", all the game pieces are thrown in the incinerator, but Gus finds one last game piece in his pocket. After T.J. throws the last piece over the fence, the game piece is found by two kids from another school who picks it up and are inspired to buy more game pieces.

Spinelli and the rest of the Recess Gang suspect a trick and spend the whole day trying to figure out what the Ashleys are plotting. Eventually, Mikey and Gus decide that it's just them being nice and take the tickets, while Spinelli, T.J., Vince, and Gretchen continue their investigation. Unfortunately, after breaking into the Ashleys' secret clubhouse, the four discover that the girls genuinely did want to give Spinelli the tickets, as their "official code" declares that any gifts they don't want must be shared with someone else named Ashley—which is Spinelli's first name. The quartet ends up trapped in the clubhouse while Mikey, Gus, Miss Finster, and some kindergarteners have a blast at the wrestling show.

Recess / int_ca95473c	type	Series Continuity Error
Recess / int_ca95473c	comment	Series Continuity Error: Cornchip Girl could be in either 1st or 2nd grade, but in "One Stayed Clean" she's nowhere to be seen when those grades are getting their picture taken and she seems to be in kindergarten since she spends most of her screentime with them, even though other episodes have shown that all kindergartners dress and act like savages and she's never been shown in kindergarten before. Gus is shown to be a new kid in school in grade 4, yet All Growed Down shows him in Kindergarten. The Great Jungle Gym Standoff also apparently takes place before Gus transferred to school yet he appears in a few shots (probably an animation goof — happens all the time). They explain Gus being the new kid again in fourth grade by the very canon fact he transferred many times over the past four years. The fact that he went to 3rd Street for a few days and then transferred out fits his backstory well. Nobody (except Finster) remembered him because everybody who would actually have a reason to remember him was too young to remember. His friends think Gus made the whole thing up mostly because he helps over half of them become who they are today. Similarly, despite that it was established that Old Rusty had fallen down and replaced with what T.J. christened "New Rusty", the jungle gym is still referred to as "Old Rusty", likely out of habit (though technically it was rebuilt with the same material, rather than replaced with a new jungle gym). Menlo is revealed to have been T.J's best friend in the past, except for some reason another episode shows him speaking about him like he just heard about him. The Great Can Drive episode shows The Ashleys being in a separate class from Mikey and the gang, yet other episodes show all four being in Ms. Grotke's class.

Hank politely declines by invoking this trope, explaining that if he did mathematics and science all the time, he'd lose his passion for it and eventually burn out.

Recess / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: In season three, thirteen shorts were made with digital coloring instead of the hand-painted cels. This was odd considering that it would go back and forth between digital and hand-painted, ending with "Bonkey Fever", the final episode to use digital coloring until the movie. And T.J. lost the slight puppy-dog sparkle in his eyes after season one. There wasn't much explanation why, but it could've been because he was the only character with it and it looked odd compared to the others. He was also a bit chubbier as well. Gus and T.J. are a bit taller in the later episodes, showing that the kids are getting a little older. The colors got a lot more vibrant in season two. Sunwoo Entertainment easily fell under this trope regarding the series. Their first episode, "Jinxed" was very off-model (As with the rest of their season one episodes). Their episodes in season three (As they were absent during season two's production due to being busy with The Rugrats Movie) became more consistent, to the point where they were regarded as one of the best animation departments working on the show. Same with their job on Recess: School's Out also stood out.

As this has happened over 40 years, several of the older mourners then begin to realize that that's rather long-lived for a hamster.

The next day, they find the clock caged off to prevent them from doing it again (thanks to James actually being an adult mole sent by the district to shut down the T.J. operation from the inside).

However, the show was so popular that it was renewed for another season note which was actually made up of unfinished episodes in-between seasons three and five...and, thanks to Disney's sixty-five episode limit, didn't last long. There were the DTV movies, however note which were also made from unfinished episodes.

Gus brutally knocked out a fifth grade class with dodgeballs on his own.

Because Disney never acknowledged the series ending, and due to them advertising the show after it ended as if it was still making new episodes, many people believed it ran longer.

His friends work hard to make his dream a reality, doing a bunch of favors to different kids, until they finally get him into the safety rangers. Afterwards, the gang go into school, happy they made Mikey's dream come true, only to be shocked to find Mikey eating in the cafeteria. Mikey told them he quit, because the safety rangers were too much hard work. Mikey tells his friends he has a new dream of being a jet pilot; as he's telling his friends this, he does not notice how shocked and devastated they are because of all the work they did for him was for nothing.
