Line 5:
Also, Lizzie has an animated conscience inside her head narrating her every move.
 
This (and the transformation of [[Hilary Duff]] into an [[Idol Singer]]) managed to keep this series on [[Disney Channel]] for a full 65 episodes. From January, 2001 to February, 2004. It is commonly [[Mis BlamedMisblamed]] for being the first of Disney's tween sitcoms geared toward a more surburban audience, when the first being ''[[That's So Raven]]''...being created by that one company known as [[Hannah Montana|Its]] [[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody|A]] [[Sonny With a Chance|Laugh]] [[Wizards of Waverly Place|Productions]], but not the last Disney Channel shows (not counting cartoons) not made by that company, the last being ''[[Phil of the Future]]''.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: One is made with David and Robert Carradine in the episode where Gordo and Matt make a kung fu movie.
Line 39:
** Also comes up in [[Conversational Troping]] when Miranda acts in a school play:
{{quote|'''Animated Lizzie:''' Wow, Miranda's officially in love with acting. Maybe when she's thirty years old, she can play a teenager on ''[[Dawson's Creek]]''.}}
* [[A Day Atat the Bizarro]]: The [[Freaky Friday Flip]] episode.
* [[Defictionalization]]: In one episode, Lizzie was inspired to spend more time with her mother after reading a novel titled, ''The Orchids and Gumbo Poker Club'', for a school assignment. Disney later published an actual novel with that title, with notes from Lizzie included in the margins.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Kate in [[The Movie]], in which she was built up to more-or-less replace Miranda.
Line 82:
* [[Love Makes You Dumb]]: Miranda in "Movin' On Up".
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Kate can manipulate boys into doing anything.
* [[The Merch]]: Fortune magazine estimated in 2003 that Lizzie McGuire merchandise had earned the Walt Disney Co. nearly ''$100 million''! That's from Radio Disney's big CD promotion, books based on the episodes being sold, mystery books starring Lizzie (much in the same vein as the [[Mary -Kate and Ashley Olsen]] mystery books), [[Tokyo Pop]] manga adaptations, bed sheets, [[Barbie]] dolls, board games, and [[The Movie]].
* [[Mis BlamedMisblamed]]: For being the 1st Disney Channel sitcom. It is true that it's the 1st (and the key show that catapulted [[Disney Channel]] to overnight success)... only to be lost by [[That's So Raven]], which stole almost all of its thunder.
** Many people like to point to ''[[Even Stevens]]'', which started a year before either show, as the transition point from old Disney Channel to new Disney Channel.
* [[Montages]]: [[Once an Episode]]. Usually a pop song with some relevance to the action at hand would play over the montage.
