• Non Sequitur Scene: Rockapella once performed their song "Zombie Jamboree". Awesome? Definitely. It Makes Sense in Context? Not even remotely.
  • Not to mention the use of the word "damn" in the song. On a kids' show. On public television.
  • Apparently the radar picked it up eventually, as it was bowdlerized to dang in repeats.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Anytime a kid won the bonus round, but especially on the Africa map. This kid did it with time to spare.
• Ear Worm: My God, World's theme was this. The one from Time as well.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: People often remember Rockapella more than anything else on the show.
• Funny Aneurysm Moment: One episode had Double Trouble stealing the World Trade Center. Fast forward a decade later...
• Genius Bonus: Rockapella's flourishes during the second round often got rather creative in order to stay on the standard rhythm. An episode featuring a looted railway used "finagled funicular!" and one about kidnapped whales included "sedated cetaceans!"
• Just Here For Rockapella.
• Memetic Mutation: Saying it again isn't necessary, but you know you want to. "Do it, Rockapella!"
• Replacement Scrappy: Pretty much everyone and everything on Time, with the exception of The Chief.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Time ousted a lot of fun from the show. Most Egregious of all was the decision to pre-tape all of Thigpen's messages, which eliminated the host-announcer banter.
