* BrokenAesop: "The Promise" has April allowing Little Bill to bring her basketball trophy to show and tell by making him promise that he will not let anyone touch it. However, his promise is broken when his friends touch her trophy and break it. While it's true that Little Bill broke his promise, his friends touched and broke her trophy, despite Little Bill telling them what he promised.

* TheQuietGame: "The No-Talking Contest" involves all three of the kids being disruptive while trying to do their chores, so Bill suggests to start one of these to help them be productive. [[spoiler:It ends up spiraling out of control enough that it continues even after they finish their chores, and ends up being problematic after Robert's watch falls in the trash, and nearly taken to the dump until Bill makes a last-minute attempt to break the rules and say something about it.]]

* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: One episode had Little Bill begging his parents for a Captain Brainstorm video game. When he finally got it, he and his friends were rather disappointed at its primitive nature, preferring to use their imaginations to create their own Brainstorm adventures instead.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Averted ''heavily'' in "Mr. Moth," which manages to go over the common differences between a butterfly and a moth. The titular moth is even based off a real-life North American moth specimen (the Polyphemus moth, which is a very large one), and two of the butterflies Little Bill's classmates hatch include a Tiger Swallowtail and a Monarch butterfly, along with a generic-looking blue butterfly that doesn't appear to be based off an actual North American specimen.
