* IncrediblyLamePun: "It is unfortunate that Ona Bona is made of bronze and not stone." "Why's that, Pop?" "Because then he would ''really'' be a rock singer!" "Aww, Pop!"

* RecycledInSpace: Every crime-solving youth show by Hanna-Barbera ever made... ''but Asian!'' And with ''siblings''!

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The "official" spelling of Suzie's name in the comics is "Susie", but other sources spell "Suzie".

* {{Expy}}: Suzie has often been compared to [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Daphne Blake]] in terms of appearance and temperament. The only difference is that Suzie is somewhat more savvy, so she isn't shoehorned into the DistressedDamsel role the way poor Daphne was.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Stanley and Henry, respectively, with Henry often annoyed by Stanley's over-the-top antics. Attempted between Scooter and Nancy but it often comes off more as Nancy just being a bossy older sister.

* SayMyName: Stanley is prone to calling for Henry when in trouble, Henry is prone to scolding "Stanley!" whenever his brother does or says something foolish.

* OffModel: Happens quite a bit, but more often in the earlier eps. [[https://web.archive.org/web/20111115172300/http://sarajaye.superbusnet.com/Pictures/oldband.PNG And this scene's animation looks downright primitive]]. That's because after the first few episodes, Hanna-Barbera had the rest of the show farmed out to Eric Porter Studios in Australia. That studio was not known for quality animation even by TV standards, and their work the next year on ''Super Friends'' furthered that.

The AnimatedAdaptation of the Film/CharlieChan series, this Creator/HannaBarbera series from 1972 on Creator/{{CBS}} marked the first time -- and still the only time in the Occident -- that the Chan character was played by an ethnically Chinese actor: Keye Luke, who had himself played Number One son, Lee Chan, in the Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox series of films back in the 1930s. It is notable that Hanna-Barbera did not emulate the iconic Genghis Khan moustache and beard, Panama hat and white linen suit of the Charlie Chan of the 1930s and 1940s; their Mr. Chan sported a pencil moustache, a short-brimmed pork-pie hat and a blue blazer.

* SheCleansUpNicely: While not secretly a buxom beauty underneath her baggy T-shirt and jeans, Anne shows off quite a cute little figure in her bikini in episode 3.

* SiblingRivalry: ''Shockingly'' averted, considering there were ''ten'' of them; the closest it ever came to this was Mimi being bossy and Scooter being annoyed by it.

* NiceHat: Flip. Anne and Mr. Chan sport some rather cool hats, too.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The standard number of core cast members for a Hanna-Barbera show is five. This show had ''12''.

** The comic book adaptation of the episode (Gold Key #3, Nov. 1973) puts Suzie, Nancy and Mimi in single-piece suits with attached skirts and provides as a result what could be construed as a PantyShot.

* PantyShot: Suzie in "The White Elephant Caper" after she, Alan and Anne fall through a trap door. They're the same color as her dress.

* MassiveNumberedOffspring: Detective Chan has ten children (Henry, Stanley, Suzie, Alan, Anne, Tom, Flip, Nancy, Mimi, and Scooter) who follow their father on worldwide adventures and try their best to solve mysteries just like their father. Alas, the children usually come up short or draw an erroneous conclusion; father Chan then points out overlooked clues and makes sound deductions to expose the correct culprit.

%%* MassiveNumberedSiblings

%%* BorrowedCatchphrase: Anne and Scooter both say "Wham bam, we're in a jam" in episode 5, Flip says it in episode 8. Henry uses it in episode 7, constituting a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.
