Line 21:
* [[Acting for Two]]: Burr in a season nine episode.
* [[Always Murder]]: A strong codifier in television - this show quite popularly used the idea that if the initial issue didn't involve murder, the viewer could be sure that only meant there would be a murder later on to thicken the plot.
* [[Always on Duty]]: The various homicide lieutenants that seemed to turn up at every murder that occurred in L. A., no matter the time of day (or night).
* [[Amoral Attorney]]: Very often played straight when an attorney turned up among the murder suspects. Either played straight or averted with District Attorney Hamilton Burger, depending on the writer. Guest prosecutors tended to run the gamut as well.
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Many of the murder victims were blackmailers, thieves, murderers themselves or just [[Jerkass|someone so irritating]] or otherwise evil that absolutely nobody would mind their being dead. Oddly enough, any crimes that the victims do (including murder) are often not investigated by Tragg and Burger which means [[Karma Houdini|they would have likely gotten away with them]].
Line 61:
* [[Mobile Menace]]: Tragg likes popping up at the worst possible times for Perry and his clients, with no notice and often very improbably.
* [[Motive Rant]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: Lieutenant Tragg's fedora.
* [[Official Couple]]: Perry and Della.
* [[Perp Sweating]]
