=== The original series, or the overall franchise, contains: ===
* [[Broken Base]]: [[Love Dodecahedron|Brenda-Dylan-Kelly-Brandon]] will ''still'' cause flame wars.
Line 5:
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Donna Martin Graduates!"
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: Matthew Perry appeared as a one-shot character in the episode "April Is The Cruelest Month". He would go on to play his famous role as [[Friends|Chandler Bing]] 3 years later.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] : Brenda Walsh. Also the reboot series.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: During Dylan's coma dream, his male drug dealer insists that Dylan has had sex "with everyone in this room" before laughing in a very creepy way.
** Particularly icky in light of the fact that one of the women in the room was his ''little sister''. Furthermore, Dylan was only 19 pr 20 at the time, but the amount of women present would indicate that he'd been sexually active since about age 11 or so.
Line 13:
** Her rapist Mr. Cannon is just as bad. He also tries to tend Silver against her and becomes obsessed with her.
** Lets not forget Emily. She pretty much from the start seems keen on destroying Annie's life and turning her friends against her.
* [[CreatorsCreator's Pet]]: Annie could be considered this, particularly in the earlier seasons. In season 1, Naomi told Annie she would be uncomfortable with her dating Ethan since he was Naomi's ex. So what happens? Annie dates Ethan behind Naomi's back. The writers then expected the audience to feel sorry for her when Naomi hooks up with one of Annie's exes at her Sweet Sixteen party. The majority of fans sided with Naomi instead. Annie's Pet status continued into season 2 when she took the ENTIRE season to confess to her hit and run, but ends up only being put on house arrest for a couple of months (again, we're expected to sympathize). By the later half of season 3, the Annie hatred started to die down due to her screen time being cut significantly.
* [[Designated Protagonist Syndrome]]: In the reboot, Annie is not exactly popular with some of the fans, though she's become slightly more liked in the 2nd season when she is no longer the central character (though the morality of her hit-and-run is questionable; some fans have pointed out that even if the writers reveal she didn't ''technically'' hit the guy she still thought she did and abandoned him on the side of the road.)
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Mark. At least, people who comment on him consider him one of the most interesting minor characters, and have shown that they want him to appear more - maybe that's why he still is.
