Line 13:
* Ben Sheffield ([[Legend of the Seeker|David de Lautour]]), a musician Holly meets in Europe
(Characters with [[Only One Name|no last name given]] are [[Exactly What It Says
Created by [[Dan Schneider]] and [[Friends|Wil Calhoun]]. Correspondingly, it mixed [[Slapstick]] with [[Romantic Comedy|relationship comedy]].
Line 35:
** Subverted by Holly several times throughout the series; Bynes is a pro at [[Stylistic Suck]] singing.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Gary's "Oh my damn!"
* [[A Date
{{quote| '''Lauren''': When I don't have a boyfriend, I get to know myself pretty well.}}
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Extremely averted with Holly (who's in-universe birthdays were near Bynes'). Played straight with Henry, Vince and Gary, all of whom were played by actors who were 24/25 at the time of their introductions, and Tina, whose actress was 28 at the time of her introduction.
* [[Distracted
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Henry, when we first meet him. {{spoiler|Vic, when he returns.}}
* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Gary Johann Thorpe

* [[Halloween Episode]]: Two (seasons 3 & 4). Also two Thanksgiving episodes (seasons 1 & 4) and a Valentine's Day episode (season 1). No [[Christmas Episode]], though.
* [[The Internet Is for Porn]]: Lauren is very surprised when Holly tells her that there are other things on the Internet besides porn.
* [[Ivy League for Everyone]]: Val went to Columbia, [[The Scrappy|Peter]] went to Yale, Lauren's doctor boyfriend went to Harvard Medical School, and Henry [[Put
* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: Played with. Gary begins the series a virgin, & Henry's sexual resumé consists solely of his first time, though a fraction of Vince's or Peter's experience dwarfs them both combined.
* [[The Matchmaker]]: Holly and Lauren, for Val and Vic.
Line 74:
* [[Product Placement]]: An episode was devoted to Holly and Tina competing to be in an Herbal Essences ad, both getting beat by the girl who was actually in the ad, which aired in the last scene of the episode.
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Val
* [[Put
** Henry as well. [[The Bus Came Back|He returned]] for one episode in Season 3, however.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Gary's crutches; Wesley Jonathan had injured himself in an exhibition basketball game.
Line 83:
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Holly and Val start off [[Different As Night and Day]], but through 4 years of rubbing off on each other, [[Character Development|both start to balance out]].
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: Gary & Tina
* [[Stalker
* [[Teens Are Short]]: Averted. Teenage Amanda Bynes was 5'8, making her taller than adult Jennie Garth who was 5'5. Many episodes would actually have Garth wearing high heels and Bynes in sneakers so that they would appear to be the same height (sometimes even making Garth look taller).
* [[Three Amigos]]: Holly, Tina, and Gary from season 2 onward.
Line 91:
* [[Token Minority Couple]]: Averted. Gary does have two black girlfriends during the show's run, but one of his first dates is with a white girl, he has a crush on Val for a while, {{spoiler|and he ultimately ends up with Tina}}.
* [[Walk On the Wild Side Episode]]: Jeff says to Val he wishes she was more spontaneous. She goes a bit wild during the episode but reveals at the end the whole experience "nearly killed me".
* [[What Happened to
** And in one episode Val goes to a speed dating service, meets a very nice guy, who seems really interested. He stands her up. Val goes to look for him, but finds Peter instead. Never addressed: '''''what happened''''' to the mystery man?
* [[With a Friend
* [[You Look Familiar]]: A couple former ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'' actors say this to Val.
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Holly's knowledge of Vince's past makes her paranoid about this.
** They even named an episode "Your Cheatin' Heart."
