which always made me hark back to the Yuppie Couple and the Central Park Jogger on Gargoyles.
. . . which I have not seen. What was the deal with the Yuppie Couple and the Central Park Jogger?)
They tended to show up and see things that they shouldn't, and their roles increased over time and eventually they actually had standard cameos on the show, or at least, the Yuppie Couple did. They acquired names and jobs, etc.
This was also played beautifully in the other direction with the Vinny episode, where it is revealed that one of the thugs who's been showing up as cannon fodder in several previous episodes turns out to be the same poor hired clod, who is now determined to have his revenge! It's beautifully done.
