* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: The climax of the Planet-vs-SheBar plot of Season 5 (even if it was pretty much a [[Deus Ex Machina]]).
** Jenny tazing a homophobic bully who assaulted Max. Capped off by her leaving him shocked and saying [[Broken Aesop|"We're dykes, not fags."]]
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Alice.
* [[Everybody Remembers the Stripper]]: It was inevitable. By featuring so many [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|sex scenes between women]], the series is mostly remembered as a softcore lesbian porn flick with boring dialogues and bad acting in between.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: The death of Bette's father was followed soon after by the death of the actor, veteran thespian and civil rights leader Ossie Davis
* [[Jumped the Shark]]: The exact timing [[Your Mileage May Vary|is debatable]]. Some fans think this happened after Season 3, or even earlier, while others think that Season 4 and beyond was when the show [[Growing the Beard|grew its beard]].
* [[Large Ham]]: Alan Cumming as Billy in Season 3 bounces back and forth between this and a [[Deadpan Snarker]]. He easily steals every scene he's in.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Adelle}} in Season 5.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Once they learned that he'd rigged the entire house with surveillance cameras so he could turn the intimate details of his
* [[Pandering to the Base|Pandering To The]] [[Periphery Demographic]]: The show was supposedly aimed at a female audience. However, it garnered a ''very'' large straight male fanbase mainly through extensive sex scenes, reducing gay guys to background extras, making one of the girls bisexual (which ensured a straight guy would participate from time to time) and making straight guys prominent in the supporting cast. ''Actual'' lesbians didn't miss that and often denounced the whole show because of the blatant pandering.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Jenny, to <s>some</s> <s>many</s> almost all viewers. There wasn't a viewer who didn't cringe every time Tonya opened her mouth.
