* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: The premise of the show, which of course [[Artistic License Physics|ignores the]] [[Square-Cube Law]].
** [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]]: By design, of course.
* [[Con Artist]]: Alexander Fitzhugh.
* [[Continuity Drift]]: In the first few episodes, the heroes are completely unable to understand the giants (one episode features a giant putting them in a jar hooked up to a complicated listening device so he can communicate with them). The writers quickly realized how much this limited the kind of stories they could tell, and changed the giants to be perfectly understandable with no explanation. [[MST3K Mantra|This is the kind of thing you could get away with back then.]]
* [[Expy]]: Fitzhugh is an attempt to replicate Zachary Smith, the [[Breakout Character]] from Allen's previous series ''[[Lost in Space]]''.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: The travelers are from [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]], but the giants' world resembled... modern-day America.
