Line 9:
** Seing characters such as T.J. and Vince crying was really sad, since you don't see them do it often.
* Principal Prickly's speech in [[The Movie]] which manages to convince TJ not to give up saving summer vacation, while revealing the fact that Prickly himself was once a care free kid just like TJ.
{{quote| '''Prickly:''' "I'll let you in on a little secret, Detweiller. Every adult you've ever known was a kid at sometime in his life. You think we don't remember summer vacation? Riding our bikes down the creek. Catching polliwogs in a jar. Camping out under the stars. Well you're wrong! Sometimes I sit there in my office, looking out at you kids in the playground and I think, "They don't know how good they got it. In a few years, they'll be grownups like me and all those good times will be memories for them, too". So go ahead. Put a whoopie-cushion in my chair. Put fake vomit on my carpet. Make fun of my "big, saggy butt". But don't ever say I don't care about summer vacation, 'cause those memories are the last part of childhood I got left."}}
* The [[Book Ends]] ending of ''Taking The Fifth Grade''. An end to seven years of great storylines, great characters, and great humor...and the beginning of the Disney Channel sitcom era...
* Dodgeball City. Gus's reason for giving up dodgeball {{spoiler|after going to far and hurting a little kid at his old school}} always makes this troper choke up.
