Lizzie McGuire: Difference between revisions

*** In a way [[Lizzie Mcguire]] is the [[Trope Codifier]] to the [[Just Friends]] relationship in post 2000 television, after [[Slap Slap Kiss]] Love/Hate type couples had dominated the 90's and the Ron/Hermione ship in ''[[Harry Potter]]'' had introduced it all over again.

* [[Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films]]: Matt gets scared watching a horror film, though it happens with his parents present. He ends up trying to Feng Shui the house to get rid of evil spirits.

* [[Leitmotif]]: Whenever Matt is the focus of a scene, the same cheery, bouncy melody can be heard in the background.

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The first season was comparatively edgy for a Disney show, with more cynical humor and ''a lot'' of references to puberty and The [[Alpha Bitch]]'s chest size. Afterwords, it settled into the family-friendlyness Disney Channel is better known for.

* [[Suck E. Cheese's]]: Sort of, a western-themed tourist trap called Grubby Longjohn's Western Emporium.

* [[Straw Loser]]: One of Lalaine's reasons for leaving the show.

* [[Technology Marches On]]: In an earlier episode, Matt and Lanny try to raise the money to buy ninety-dollar walkie-talkies. A floppy disk and a VHS tape make appearances in the same episode.

** Throughout the series, Lizzie, Miranda, and Gordo have landlines in their bedrooms rather than cell phones.
