Line 13:
=== This Show Contains Examples Of: ===
* [[Arch Enemy]]: It was pretty much Allison vs. Everyone during her brief tenure on the show.
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry|Julia and Suzanne]] rarely saw eye-to-eye on ''anything'' and argued frequently, but [http://www.designingwomenonline.com/Episodes/Summaries/002.php one of the show's most memorable moments] proved just how much Julia loved her baby sister.
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: Suzanne, as played by Delta Burke, is quite the looker, the only thing that actually detracts it is the horrible eighties clothing and hair that most of the cast suffered from time to time. Unfortunately in real life, Burke had been a favorite target of the tabloids because of her putting on weight as the show progressed. Worse, she had always struggled with her weight, and the depression and eating disorders that came with it; all of which that stretched as far back as her pageant days in the early 1970s. The press treatment of her was so terrible that it led Burke into asking the show to have an episode addressing her weight and the discrimination fat people have to go through. The episode in question has Suzanne go to her high school reunion and ending up hurt by the way everyone treats her because of her appearance now.
* [[Brainless Beauty]]: Suzanne Sugarbaker
Line 26:
** She was Julia and Suzanne's deceased mother's friend. Keeping her around reminded them of their mother.
* [[Eighties Hair]]: Thankfully toned down by the end of the series.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero|The Heroine]]: Julia
** [[The Lancer]]: Suzanne
Line 41:
* [[The Mistress]]: Spoofed
* [[Odd Couple]]: For a time, Allison and Anthony reluctantly shared Suzanne's home after [[Put On a Bus|her departure]] and attempted to force each other out. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity ensued.]]
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Despite their many differences and occasional unpleasant encounters (including [[I Just Shot Marvin in The Face|an accidental shooting]]), Suzanne and Anthony became close friends during the series and reunited on the [[Spin
* [[Pimped
* [[Prepositions Are Not to End Sentences With]]: If someone calls on you for this, correct the sentence with calling the [[Grammar Nazi]] a fitting name.
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Except for the instance of the other trope, Suzanne wore furs with no comment. And, on rare occasions, so did the others.
