[[File:lizzie mcguire ver2.jpg|frame]]
Meet Lizzie McGuire, a completely normal 13-year old girl, living a completely normal life. She goes to a completely normal school, with students (The [[Alpha Bitch]] Kate Sanders, [[The Ditz|ditzy]] hottie Ethan Kraft), and friends (dependable but emotional Miranda Sanchez, [[Teen Genius]] David Gordon, aka Gordo). Her home life is completely stereotypical, with a [[Nuclear Family]] that consists of her gnome-loving dad, Sam; level-headed mom, Jo, and bratty brother, Matt.
 
Also, Lizzie has an animated conscience inside her head narrating her every move.
Line 12:
** Complete with [[Girl Posse]], right down to having a second-in-command who's even ''more'' of an [[Alpha Bitch]] than she is.
* [[Animation Bump]]: Animated Lizzie gets one [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x_W2dqjRGLw/TiFPlMenTGI/AAAAAAAABQU/-v_7Z9nhNrU/s1600/lizziemcguiremovie19.jpg in the feature film], as compared to her appearance in the series.
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Matt.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Lizzie's animated alter ego changed a lot as time went on. She started out as a [http://i.imgur.com/hGjKh.png sketch that a first-grader could draw] and then evolved into her final form, which while simplistic, is leagues ahead of where she started.
* [[Black Hole Belly]]: Toon Lizzie has been seen swallowing some pretty big (to her) food items whole without any change to her size except for maybe a split second of [[Dinner Deformation]] on occasion.
Line 34:
* [[Compressed Vice]]: Several, most notably Miranda's eating disorder, which consisted of skipping lunch.
* [[Dark Horse Victory]]: An election between rivals Lizzie and Claire and icky geek Tudgeman...who do you think wins?
* [[Dawson Casting]]:
** 17-year old Adam Lamberg as Gordo; because he hit puberty late, he is actually able to pass as a 12-year old pretty convincingly in the pilot, and he managed to remain shorter than Lizzie and Miranda all the way through to the end.
** 18-year old Kyle Downes as middle schooler Larry Tudgeman. Made more [[Egregious]] by the fact that, in the previous series he was in (the [[Retroactive Recognition]]-palooza ''[[Higher Ground]]''), he was cast as a troubled ''high schooler''.
Line 48:
* [[Double Vision]]: Hilary Duff performs a duet with herself in [[The Movie]], playing both Lizzie and Isabella.
* [[Dresses the Same]]: Miranda and Kate where the same outfit in "Picture Day", thus precipitating the [[Doomed New Clothes]] above.
* [[ExtravertedExtroverted Nerd]]: Lawrence "Larry" Tudgeman III.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Every single Disney Channel original sitcom owes its existence to this show's success.
* [[Former Friend of Alpha Bitch]]: Lizzie and Kate. Actually addressed in a late season one episode when the two work together on a school project.
Line 121:
** Throughout the series, Lizzie, Miranda, and Gordo have landlines in their bedrooms rather than cell phones.
* [[Three Amigos]]
* [[Trope Maker]]: For the [[Disney Channel]] [[Kid Com]] formula.
* [[Two Girls and a Guy]] (With Lizzie ([[Blue Oni]]) and Gordo ending up together.)
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting]]: Matt would ''always'' have a sub-plot in every episode that didn't involve him the A-plot; usually he would drag his parents along for the ride.
