The show ran for six seasons, the first two on [[ABC]], [[Channel Hop|the rest]] on [[The WB]]. The show lives on in perpetual reruns on ABC Family and [[BET]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Alexis Fields' character making light of the fact that she is Kim "Tootie" Fields' younger sister.
** In one episode Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell guest star: Kenan plays a schemer who schmoozes a lot, while Kel plays his partner in crime who's an enormous ham. They're basically reprising their roles from [[Kenan and Kel]], with the exception that their characters here are antagonists.
* [[Actually, That's My Assistant]]: "Child's Play": The girls hire an SAT tutor, and the man who knocks on their door is much older than they expected. He says he's just the district coordinator, and introduces them to T.J. Henderson...who's much ''younger'' than thay expected.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Cruelly snobbish rich-girl Rhonda all throughout in season three, who was always around any time the plot called for the girls to have a rival. Her last appearance early season four reveals she had a freak growth spurt and now looks like a man in a wig (as skillfully played by a man in a wig).
* [[Always Identical Twins]]
* [[Back for The Finale]]: Roger
* [[Big Eater]]: Lisa by far.
* [[Bowdlerise]]: The show seems to get put on networks that edit it as if it were The Sopranos, or Jerry Springer. During its run on the [[Disney Channel]], even if you'd never seen the original show, the edits were extremely obvious, often times stepping on lines. A current network that runs it also mutes much dialog, as if it was [[Cluster F
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: The girls often speak directly to the viewers providing recaps and describing events that take place off screen.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Ray quite often.
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
* [[Happily Adopted]]
* [[She Is All Grown Up|He Is All Grown Up]]: During the fourth season, Roger goes "from ''as if'' to ''all that''" and even has Tia and Tamera fighting over him in the season premiere.
* [[Hey
** You could make a book of this with all the friends they went through, from [[Brittany Murphy]] to [[Gabrielle Union]].
* [[I Want You to Meet An Old Friend of Mine]]: The girls' brother, Tahj, appeared three times...
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* [[Separated At Birth]]: In the series premiere we get a small bit of dialogue from Ray and Lisa that the girls were purposely separated by their orphanage. It was only pure luck that they managed to find each other.
* [[Skyward Scream]]: Ray's trademark "Tameraaaaaaaa!"
* [[Suck E.
* [[Technology Marches On]]: One episode featured the twins getting excited over getting their own separate phone line for their room, as it meant they could call whoever they wanted and have their own answering machine message. Try explaining the importance of that to the generation that has cell phones.
** Similarly, cell phones would've made the problem in "Mo' Credit, Mo' Problems" a heck of a lot easier...and safer.
* [[Token White]]: One a season.
* [[Twin Switch]]: Every other episode
* [[Two
* [[Will Not Tell a Lie]]: Tamera makes this vow in a fifth-season episode. When she catches Ray's girlfriend cheating on him, [[Cassandra Truth|Ray doesn't believe her at first...]]
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Ray and Lisa. {{spoiler|They eventually dated each other in Season 4, but it didn't last long.}}
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Ray's 5th season squeeze Vivica is caught cheating on him by Tamera. Unlike most female-caught-cheating plots, it does not end well for Vivica.
* [[You Would Make a Great Model]]: Occurs in one episode when one of the girls goes to a "photographer's" apartment for a shoot. Luckily, the girls' parents arrive in time to save her.
