History Series / AngieTribeca

* PercussivePickpocket: Dr. Scholls gets a ferret out of a cage simply by bumping into the Fish & Game officer holding it. Taken UpToEleven in the slow-motion flashback, which reveals that during the bump she took the cage, swapped the ferret for a box of Pop Tarts, applied lipstick, gave a passionate kiss to a nearby policeman, returned the cage to the officer, and then apologized for the bump.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Played for laughs and dialed UpToEleven for the flimsiest of reasons and at the most random of moments between Angie and Geils.

* {{Meganekko}}: Scholls.

* HotScientist: Scholls. Her glasses add to the effect, but don't really qualify as SexySpectacles.

** Two characters in 'Tribeca's Day Off' have the same names as John Travolta and Christian Slater's characters in the movie ''Film/BrokenArrow'', though it is never referenced.

** "Fleas Don't Kill Me": He's a John Doe until we find some ID. His real name? John Dough[[note]][[ItsPronouncedTropay pronounced]] DOE-zh[[/note]], of course. And his wife's name is Jane.

* TheConspiracy: [[spoiler: Eddie Pepper creates Mayhem Global, an organization that is dedicated to bringing down Mayor Perry. [[RealityEnsues Things escalate over time, and they go from trying to get him out of office to just killing him.]] Angie ends up involved in this.]]

* RealityEnsues:
** Mayhem Global end up escalating their tactics when they go from trying to ruin Mayor Perry's reputation to trying to kill him.
** Angie has to face departmental friction during her investigation into the Hunter.
** Before [[TheReveal the truth comes out]], [[spoiler: Geils learns the hard way why police don't negotiate with terrorists. Siglet promises to release Scholls and stop the animal attacks if all of the zoos close and the animals are freed. Against the advice of Angie and Pritkins, [[ScrewtheRulesImDoingWhatsRight Geils decides to do what Siglet asked.]] This results in more people dying and Scholls still not being freed (she escapes on her own). Mayor Perry basically suspends him for his actions.]]
** In the last few minutes of Season 3, [[spoiler:some people come by to arrest Angie for murder of the ''real'' Angie Tribeca. Angie, being a cop, doesn't bother to protest her innocence, goes quietly, and knows the very best thing she can do is keep her mouth shut until her lawyer arrives.]]

* NotSoDifferent: Angie and the Hunter, considering how they both had awful childhoods involving their fathers choosing horrible stepmothers over them.

--->"Right, and some day they'll be able to say [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar 'shit']] on network television."

** It's common for characters to be named after rock musicians - for example, [[Music/TheJGeilsBand Jay Geils]] and [[Music/TheAlanParsonsProject Alan Parsons]].

** A spoof of cops shows set in an absurd world with a bunch of deadpan dialogue? Series/PoliceSquad, anybody?

* AmbiguouslyBi: Some of the ladies appear to be attracted to Angie, but the signs aren't as blatent as when Laurie Partridge hit on her.

--> '''Angie Tribecca''': I have some. On my father's side.

* DawsonCasting: InUniverse. While on the trail of some diamond smugglers, Angie is forced to go undercover as a teenager at her quincenera.

** In the first season the opening credits have a [[Series/CSIMiami loud scream]] over them as part of the theme tune, which often cuts to the same cop having injured himself in some way. Because they ReplacedTheThemeTune in season 2, this gag doesn't doesn't appear there.

* GenderBlenderName: The baby boy conceived by Tribeca and Geils is named Angela Jay "Angie" Geils. As an adult, he prefers to go by "A.J."

** "Freezing Cold Prestige Drama" from season 4 is one giant homage not only to {{Film/Fargo}}, but other Creators/TheCoenBrothers works like Film/NoCountryForOldMen. Complete with everyone adopting the accents and MinnesotaNice attitudes.

** Every episode of Season Four is a parody of a specific movie or TV show.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Angie's mixed heritage (which mirrors that of Rashida Jones in real life) is obliquely referenced in an uncomfortable but hilarious gag when Atkins commits the faux pas of assuming Tanner will know his way around the "black market" because he is a cop with years of experience on the streets. He's not sure about Tribeca, but he's definitely sure Geils has no experience with it.

* TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw: Geils and Tanner raid a home and ignore a drug lab, a counterfeit operation, and a man who's been held against his will for six months.
