Line 9:
* [[Cool Loser]]: This was especially prevelent in season two, where it seemed every other episode consisted of him trying to make a name for himself at school and no longer be nobody. Given the kind of [[Zany Scheme|Zany Schemes]] he pulled off, it seems like he'd be a legend around the school, but his poplarity [[Reset Button|never seemed to stick]]. This was given less emphasis as the show went on, though.
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: {{spoiler|Cornelius. Just to be clear, not even ''Topanga'' knows it.}}
* [[Give Geeks a Chance]]: [[Zig Zagged]]. Cory started out as a normal, average kid who took interest in the weird, frumpy social outcast Topanga, however over the next couple of seasons she became much more normal and less geeky, and the actress [[She

* [[Tempting Fate]]
* [[Took a Level
=== Shawn Patrick Hunter (Rider Strong) ===
Line 33:
* [[Pretty Boy]]: Pretty enough to pass very convincingly as a girl. He grew out a beard later in the series run, though.
* [[Rummage Sale Reject]]: Many of his outfits in the earlier seasons were like this, which looked unkempt and mismatched even by early 90s grunge standards (though he was from a poor family). His outfits became more normal as the show went on.
* [[Shipper
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]
* [[Technical Virgin]]: As of the middle of his senior year<ref>"And Then There Was Shawn" from mid-season 5. Note that this is ''after'' having been in a serious relationship with Angela, though they had broken up at the time</ref>; he reveals this when he and the others [[Discussed Trope|are discussing]] the [[Sex Equals Death]] trope.
Line 47:
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]] / [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: She actually wasn't, but the 7th season episode "She's Having My Baby Back Ribs!" portrayed her as though she was getting close to this.
* [[The "B" Grade]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: In the first season.
* [[Flanderization]]
Line 54:
* [[High School Sweethearts]] / [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: With Cory.
* [[Ivy League for Everyone]]
* [[Progressively Prettier]]: She was originally wore frumpy clothes and had wild, unruly hair to demonstrate her [[Granola Girl]] personality. However, as her personality shifted to being a normal [[Girl Next Door]] and the actress [[She
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]
* [[Strange Girl]]: In the first season.
Line 96:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Which overlaps with...
* [[Gentleman Snarker]]
* [[Jerk
* [[Mentor Archetype]]: For Cory, Shawn and Topanga. With Eric, the bond is even stronger; he's almost a second father for the eldest Matthews sibling.

Line 102:

* [[Hollywood Nerd]]: Type 1.
* [[Insufferable Genius]]
* [[Last
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: There were some early hints that Cory and Shawn belive he was this to them. However, sinse he suffered from [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]], it didn't go anywhere.
Line 153:
* [[Black Best Friend]]: For Mr. Turner.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: He was introduced in the third season as a main cast member ([[The Other Wiki]] says the focus on him and Turner in that season was an attempt to appeal to young college graduates) and was dropped immediately afterwards without even a single mention (aside from a clip with him in it appearing in the final episode).

* [[Jerk
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: {{spoiler|Harley looked after his younger sister Theresa.}}
* [[Put
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Frankie loves poetry. LOVES IT. Got a problem with that? No? Good.
