''Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23'' is a [[Sit ComSitcom]] airing on ABC. Desperate for a place to stay after finding herself rendered homeless, June agrees to live with Chloe, or [[Secondary Character Title|The Bitch in Apartment 23]], and [[Hilarity Ensues]]. The show premiered on April 11, 2012, taking over [[Happy Endings]]' timeslot after its second season wrapped, and was just renewed for a second season.
 
----
=== Tropes used in this series include: ===
 
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: Eli has these a lot, much to June's (horrified) discovery.
* [[Adam Westing]]: James Van Der Beek, who plays… himself.
* [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign]]: Shitagi Nashi supposedly means "Tall slut with no panties" in Japanese. It actually just means "without underwear".
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Don't make June angry
* [[Big Applesauce]]
Line 16:
* [[Braces of Orthodontic Overkill]]: In a flashback to her high-school days during "Shitagi Nashi…", June is shown wearing headgear during the daytime.
* [[The Casanova]]: James readily uses his Dawson's Creek fame to seduce women
* [[Caught Withwith Your Pants Down]]: Chloe catches June "playing her lady harp" in "It's Just Sex...", although June denies it.
* [[Censored Title]]: The show was originally titled ''Don't Trust The '''Bitch''' in Apartment 23'', but it was amended to its current state (or sometimes, simply, ''Apartment 23'') after the [[Media Watchdogs]] had a field day over it.
* [[Corrupt the Cutie]]: Chloe's loose morals have stated to rub off on June.
Line 38:
* [[Interrupted Intimacy]]: June walking in on her fiancé having sex with Chloe in the pilot.
* [[Japandering]]: James did an energy drink commercial in Vietnam. It is shown at the end of the pilot and it is hilariously bad (even more so that your usual [[Japandering]] commercial, as it includes Van Der Beek wondering what the hell he just did and asking if they've managed to get his agent on the phone).
* [[Jerkass]] / [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Chloe jumps back and forth across the line between these two like no one's business
* [[Just Friends]]: Neither girl is really romantically interested in James
* [[Light Feminine and Dark Feminine]]: June and Chloe.
Line 50:
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Subverted. Chloe definitely has a nice place filled with equally as nice furniture, but she only attains all of it after [[Magnificent Bastard|taking more money than needed from her roommates, keeping their security deposits for herself, then purposely driving them out with her behavior, and finally, repeating the process.]]
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections]]: Chloe is able to become a foster mother without the usual interviews, inspections and background checks because she knows someone who works at Child Services.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Plenty in the first few episodes alone, mostly relating to James. His tenure as [[DawsonsDawson's Creek|Dawson]] is naturally brought up on numerous occasions, but he also references his appearance in [[Kesha]]'s "Blow" music video as well.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Molly, Chloe and June's foster child comes off as this and is completely ungrateful for June caring for her.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Heavily implied that Robin is this to Chloe.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: "...that has nothing to do with my relationship with French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, who is NOT the man that I'm dating who has a plane."
* [[Take That]]: In "Making Rent ...", June's coworker at the coffee shop is going through the tip jar and asks her if she wants a euro coin or a button. "Give me the button; it might actually be worth something in a couple of years."<ref> A reference to anxieties over the future of the euro</ref>
