* {{Flanderization}}: Originally she played the role of OnlySaneWoman and just occasionally thought of herself as very good at something (like being her school mascot, even her coach agreed she was a great mascot), but by the end of Season 1 it turned into a case of SmallNameBigEgo.

* AesopAmnesia: In "Guys and Dolls", Amy tried to help Charlie with her jealousy of Toby, which seemingly worked. Amy pretended to make Toby talk and say that Charlie is his favorite sister. Come ''Doppel Date'' however, Charlie wanted Toby to stay in the hotel. Justified in that she's still a toddler, but "Futuredrama" indicates their dynamic hasn't changed since.

* UglyGuyHotWife: Amy is more conventionally attractive than chubby, bald Bob.

to:

* UglyGuyHotWife: Amy is more conventionally attractive than chubby, bald Bob. This becomes somewhat of a subversion in Season 3, as a result of Eric Allan Kramer's drastic weight loss giving him a bulkier look, evened out by a haircut that made his already thinning hair ''more'' apparent.

No longer a trope.


* YourCheatingHeart: Turns out Spencer was using the "cousin" excuse to keep Teddy and Skyler from finding out about each other. Doesn't end well for him. For Spencer, [[spoiler:this has since become [[MyGreatestFailure his greatest regret]], and it takes a whole season for him to eventually gains Teddy trust while she begins to remember what he meant to her before she fully forgives him enough to take him back]].

The sarcastic, often dour 10-year old son, who resents Charlie for having usurped his position as the baby of the family, and thus drawing a good deal of attention away from him. His perceptions seem somewhat justified. Continues the proud [[Series/ThePartridgeFamily Danny Bonaduce]] tradition of looking ''nothing'' like the rest of the family.
