The Kids from Room 402 is a Canadian-American cartoon from CinéGroupe and Saban Entertainment (both of whom had cooperated on other shows like Bad Dog and What's with Andy?). Created for Fox Family and Teletoon, the show is based on the children's book Gracie Graves and the Kids from Room 402, which was written by the mother-son team of Betty and Michael Paraskevas (the creators of Maggie and the Ferocious Beast and Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse).The Kids from Room 402 is about exactly what the title suggests - the problematic and mischievous elementary school students of Room 402, who are taught by Miss Gracie Graves. Quite possibly the only teacher in the entire school capable of controlling the eponymous children, Miss Graves serves as an interlocutor for the dozen or so kids she taught as they deal with various problems, conflicts, and injustices both internal and external.The series ran for 2 seasons with 52 episodes debuting between 1999 and 2001. Unusually for a Canadian production, most of the voice cast was American. Also of interest is that every episode of the show was written together by 2 people: Lesa Kite and Cindy Begel. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
| The Kids from Room 402 / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Vinnie tries to enter a science fair with a project his brother Tony had previously entered in a previous fair and, unlike other times he tried to pass Tony's previous works as his own, he checked if Ms. Graves was Tony's teacher back then. As Vinnie learns when Ms. Graves reveals it, she was a judge at the previous fair and wrote "Good work, Tony" on the back of the project. | |

She Cleans Up Nicely: Polly looks rather nice in her old-fashioned Lithuanian outfit to the point where Sanjay (who was forced by her mother to be her dancing partner at a school play) calls her "a vision of beauty" and develops a crush on her, right after the play ends he asks Polly to be his wife for once his parents arrange his marriage when he is eighteen but Polly rejects him, rudely critisizes his performance and leaves with Sanjay following after her. | |

Attention Whore | |
| The Kids from Room 402 / int_31df118 | comment |
Attention Whore: Nancy. Almost every episode focuses on her is about her trying to impress her friends by bragging about something or trying to ape something popular, usually with hilariously embarrassing results. Jesse probably also counts. When he's not cheating on schoolwork, he's telling Blatant Lies to everyone in and out of school to make himself look cool. He tends to fail even more miserably than Nancy. | |

Ask a Stupid Question... | |
| The Kids from Room 402 / int_443f9d8a | comment |
Ask a Stupid Question...: Polly does this in the episode called "The Election Show". Polly ends up being the only candidate in position running for school president. Just after her long and grueling debate which Ms. Graves finally steps in and declares over, in class in the next scene, Ms. Graves is about to announce the winner. Polly tells her to hurry up and announce the results because she can't take the patience anymore, and Ms. Graves responds with "What are you so nervous about? You're the only one running." With that as a fact, Polly still asks her "So, who won?", making Ms. Graves having to respond with "You". | |

Butt-Monkey | |
| The Kids from Room 402 / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: In a matter of speaking, Jesse McCoy and Vinnie Nasta could be considered examples, mainly because they always try to pull pranks that end up backfiring on them, often making them face worse consequences for it than what they tried to evade. Nancy Francis could also be considered to be in similar ways, but more because of how much she always ends up falling victim to Polly McShane. Of course, anybody under Polly is. In cases of clumsiness, incompetence, and being tormented on and having pranks pulled on him by the kids, Principal Mr. Besser is. On occasion, even Ms. Graves could be considered to just slightly be one. Because she often deals with the same kind of hell to a more intense degree as Mr. Besser. But she most often is by how she is treated by and through obligation has to put up with annoying kids like Polly, or even Jesse or Vinnie through their pranks, and others who come to her with complaints. | |

Oh Wait, This Is My Grocery List: Freddie once accidentally brought his mom's grocery list to school, rather than his permission slip, and didn't realize his mistake until Miss Graves started to read it out loud in front of the class. Thankfully, the slip was in his lunch which had been stolen by someone else. | |

False Reassurance: Jesse's attempt to cheat in an eye exam backfires when he's forced to wear glasses. When he has enough of the troubles brought to him by wearing glasses he never needed, he confesses and expects Miss Graves to punish him. When she says it isn't up to her, he is relieved until she points out his mother will likely punish him. In another episode, Polly is standing in for Mr. Besser and finds out a teacher isn't technically qualified for the job. When that teacher begs Polly not to tell Mr. Besser, Polly says there's no need to bother him. Polly fires the teacher by herself. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| The Kids from Room 402 / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: In one episode, Vinnie writes a paper titled "Mr. Besser the Coldhearted Liver Butcher", hoping Mr. Besser will never see it. Mr. Besser sees but fails to realize it was about him because Vinnie misspelled the surname as "Beeser". Mrs. Bellanchof gets away with lying to a judge in order to get the custody of her daughter Melanie, winning an award by submitting Mrs. Graves' lesson plan as her own, and using her position as teacher to make Melanie win a cheerleading contest. Without any consequences (although Melanie dislikes and often criticizes her), with the closest thing she gets to consequences are her daughter deceiving her into thinking she gets invitations from her classmates in order to escape her mother's punishments, being rude to her and openly favoring her father over her, the last two leading to her mother throwing a fit. | |

Plagiarism in Fiction | |
| The Kids from Room 402 / int_ae136edf | comment |
Plagiarism in Fiction: Vinnie Nasta makes a habit of presenting his big brother Tony's reports as his own but the teacher always remembers having already evaluated them back when Tony was her student. One time included a contest entry, which Vinnie checked to be sure Tony wasn't her student back then. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Kids from Room 402 / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In one episode, Jesse is forced to wear glasses that actually damage his eyesight (he had a cheat sheet but failed to notice the doctor asking him to read the second row of the eye chart instead of the first one). The episode is titled "Jesse Magoo". Vinnie's password for Arthur's secret library is "call me Ishmael". | |

Unwanted Glasses Plot | |
| The Kids from Room 402 / int_cb06c37e | comment |
Unwanted Glasses Plot: In "Jesse Magoo", Jesse is so afraid of needing to wear glasses that he decides to cheat on the school-sponsored eye exam by writing the letters of the eye chart on his hand. He ends up forced to wear thick glasses (his family's insurance wouldn't cover anything cooler) or, as the shop calls them, glasses "for the not so active". Not only is he constantly mocked by his peers, but the glasses damage his eyesight to the point where it becomes harder for him to run. Jesse eventually breaks the glasses and faces the consequences of cheating. In the end, Vinnie has to wear a similar pair of glasses (his family's insurance wouldn't cover anything cooler either) and, to Jesse's dismay, manages to look cool with them. | |

At the end, someone drops a ten-dollar bill and Mr. Besser, wrongfully assuming it was another prank, doesn't try to pick it up. | |

Innocent Bigot: Happens in the episode "Don't Know, Don't Care, Smells" when the kids have an assignment to write about a different culture and ask classmates to help. For example, Nancy, says "I'm so hungry that I would eat a cow" while having dinner with her classmate Sanjay's family who happens to be from India where eating beef is a religious taboo. Polly is even worse by saying China copied Lithuania and isn't worth talking about. | |

Exact Words: Nancy promises not to tell anyone Jordan is wealthy. However, she doesn't promise not to tell that she (Nancy) has a wealthy friend. Three girls decide to dress like a celebrity known for, among other things, wearing a bell as a pendant. Not liking that, Mr. Besser threatens to punish them if he ever hears any of those bells again. The girls then stuff their bells with socks so Mr. Besser won't "hear" them. The loophole works until one of the socks falls and he hears a bell. He then makes good on his threat, only that he makes all the students wear school uniforms. | |

Innocent Innuendo: This may be the case with a scene where Mrs. Myerson encounters Jesse in the doctor's office wearing nothing but his briefs trying to cover himself with a newspaper. It appears that she was remarking on a picture in the newspaper he was covering himself with, while he thought she was pointing out something to do with him because of what state she catches him in. Nothing is ever clarified, though, with what she was talking about and what he thought she meant concerning what she sees and having a shot. | |
