Line 28:
* [[Brother Chuck]]: Noel. His last appearance in an early season four episode had him coming to terms with him being just friends with Casey. It was an obvious set up for a [[Platonic Life Partners]] friendship or possibly another [[Love Interest]] for Casey. But then Truman came in, and Noel never showed up again.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Edwin
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Generally averted, but not altogether avoidable in a self-consciously Canadian show. At one time, averted and mocked in one episode.
** And the accents. ''Dear Lord'', the accents.
** Canadians have accents?
Line 56:
** Three words to describe Casey in her ''Babe Raider'' outfit: [[Happy Days|Yeowza, yeowza, yeowza!]]
** In one episode, Casey is seen reviling over the disorganization of the bathroom, clad in only a towel. About as hot as you'll ever see on [[Disney Channel]].
* [[First
* [[First Name Ultimatum]]: ''Der''-ek!!
* [[Flirty Stepsiblings]]: Unintentional on the writer's part.
* [[Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling]]: The Venturi brothers and the McDonald sisters.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Derek is doing his best to live up to his father's high school reputation (evidenced by a file that requires its own box) as an underachieving prankster.
* [[Graduate From the Story]]: The series finale "Futuritis" features Casey and Derek's high school graduation.
Line 94:
* [[Not Blood Siblings]]: Often an excuse of the shippers.
* [[Nuclear Family]]
* [[The Obi
* [[The Obi Wannabe|The Obi-Wannabe]]: Derek genuinely believes he's setting a good example for Edwin by leading him down the path of juvenile delinquency and sporadically-successful babe-hounding.
* [[Official Couple]]: The roster is as follows:
Line 124:
* [[Soapbox Sadie]]: Lizzie takes treehugging to a whole new level.
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]: Edwin's age jumped from 10 to 13 when Daniel Madger's voice dropped.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Casey's first clue that Derek had put his name on her math test (and vice-versa) was that he'd spelled her last name "Mac" rather than "Mc." His response:
{{quote| '''Derek''': Are you sure? Because "Mac" just feels right.}}
* [[Standardized Sitcom Housing]]: Delightfully averted. The McDonald-Venturi home is an older-style three story dwelling, of which multiple rooms are seen from multiple angles.
Line 130:
** [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: Casey had a lot of good points in "Babe Raider".
* [[Sweater Girl]]: Casey, and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded in the opening sequence.]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Derek
** Also minor character Noel in his first appearance.
* [[Team Mom]]: Casey
* [[They Call Me Mister Tibbs]]: Principal Lasseter gets rather indignant at George's attempt to address him [[First
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Sam and Ralph, depending on the episode.
* [[Three Wall Set]]: Averted in this series through the use of a more cinematic Single Camera format (quite rare for a sitcom.)
Line 139:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Lizzie and Casey.
* [[Triang Relations]]
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting]]
* [[Two
* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]: Derek mostly, although Casey ventures into this territory quite a lot.
* [[Uptight Loves Wild]]: Unintentional, but if it wasn't...
