Line 3:
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Karen, full stop.
* [[Fair for Its Day]]: Offensive as it may have sometimes seemed by the time it ended, it was one of the first American shows with a gay man as a central character, and remains one of few not relegated to cable at midnight.
** Oddly enough the show may actually be ''more'' balanced than people in the supposedly fairer currently climate would like. Note all the attempting on various other parts of the show's trope pages to declare Will [[Camp Gay]] just because he's not a beer-swilling, farting, swearing sports enthusiast. Apparently while attitudes about homosexuality itself have become more accepting, attitudes about the stereotypes associated with masculinity have become more strangling than ever.
* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]: Often, but never to be taken seriously.
* [[Freud Was Right]]: Jack has the classic Freudian family pattern for homosexuality, but the trope's averted with Will: he's always had a good relationship with his father, and was close to his older brother Sam until he told Sam what he thought of Sam's fiancée. Will is, however, his mother's favourite. Will's gay friend Larry also appears to be very close to his mother. Elliot, on the other hand, also has the classic family pattern for homosexuality but he's straight as an arrow.
