Line 42:
* Ruthie from ''[[7th Heaven]]'' often took to spying on the older members of her family, until she became a teenager.
* Every [[CBBC]] Sunday afternoon drama of the 1980s featured a young protagonist snooping around and stumbling on the [[Big Bad]]'s plan.
* The ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mystery Science Theatre 3,000]]'' episode featuring ''[[Angels Revenge]]'' (a low-budget feature film knockoff of ''~[[Charlie's Angels~]]'') spoofs this trope. In the scene with a meeting of the film's several female protagonists, the heroines are making plans to launch an assault on a drug cartel, when a young blonde girl character who hangs out with them (probably added for comic relief) bursts into the room, acting excited at the plan. In the film itself, the heroines think this is cute and amusing, but one of the audience members remarks, in a menacing voice imitative of more sinister characters, "Kill her!"
* In the ''[[Twilight Zone]]'' episode "Caesar and Me", the nosy niece of the apartment landlord spies on her aunt's tenant, which leads to his arrest.
* There must be a million German TV shows and movies for kids that feature this trope. One example is ''[[Tom Turbo]]'', in which some [[Snooping Little Kid|Snooping Little Kids]], often with the same name as the kid actor who plays them, stop the villain and their criminal scheme. This even comes complete with many [[Bound and Gagged]] situations.
