History Fridge / GoodLuckCharlie

** Most video game stores have a pre-owned section these days, but have a huge markdown when purchasing games back - even if it's merely days after release. They would not have gotten the money for the doll back.

* In one of the subplots to the 1-hour special, ''Special Delivery'', Gabe and Jake are asked by their parents to buy a doll for Charlie for her 3rd birthday, but they spend it on a video game instead. Later, they try to return the video game to the store only to be rejected because they had already opened it. This is all okay by most standards, but if they couldn't have returned it to the original store, why couldn't they have returned it to a ''used'' video game store? In a big city like Denver, there's bound to be a few of them, and maybe one in the suburbs where the Duncans seem to live. Gabe and Jake may not have gotten as much money for it, but there's a good chance they might have gotten enough to get Charlie's doll.

* FridgeBrilliance: Charlie doesn't bite Spencer because she "knows" he's cheating on Teddy, she bites him because she doesn't want to have share Teddy with him.

** But if the ones that deeply love her lost her, then if Gabe ever has to take Charlie somewhere by him, wish her good luck.

* The whole marriage subplot in the "''Snow Show''" episodes were a homage to a 2-part episode of ''TheDickVanDykeShow'': The man who married Bob and Amy Duncan was actually a con-artist = Laura reveals that [[spoiler:she lied about her age]] when she fell in love with and married Rob. Bob and Amy realize that they're "not actually married" = Rob makes phone calls to his lawyers, and learns that he and Laura have basically been illegally married because of [[TitleDrop Laura's little lie]]... that, and having children out of wedlock. Both couples bicker with each other on their way to their new wedding ceremony, and end up getting happily married for real this time.

* Bob's occasional concern that Amy might have dated/had feelings for other men in the past seems at first like the paranoid thoughts of a jealous husband until you consider the fact that Gabe's dark hair should be genetically impossible since both of his parents are blonde. Impossible, that is, ''if'' both of them are his biological parents. If one of them isn't, then him having dark hair is not only possible, but has a likelihood of either 25 percent or 50 percent, depending on the exact genotype of his biological father. Suddenly Bob's concerns don't seem so silly anymore.

* In TheMovie, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Gabe]] has his Z-Cube 700 taken by airport security. In ''Can You Keep A Secret?'', he told Bob that the reason he was up to another ZanyScheme was to get the money he needed to buy the Z-Cube 500, but he was actually [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming getting the cash to buy PJ a guitar that he really wanted]]. The FridgeBrilliance comes in realizing that Bob was so impressed with [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Gabe's thoughtful, selfless act]] that he bought him the newer game system.

* FridgeHorror: Charlie's first encounter with her family after being born had her father and one brother covered in feathers, her other brother sporting an ugly haircut and her sister made up like Frankenstein. [[BellisariosMaxim Try not to think too hard]] about the possible psychological effects of that.
** [[SarcasmMode Yeah, cause a newborn would totally remember the first couple hours of its life]].
** Teddy took a picture though... or was it a video?
*** The nurse took a picture and Teddy got it framed.
*** And? The picture wouldn't have any psychological effect on Charlie, it'd just be a case of OldShame when she's older.
*** Babies don't start developing personalities until about a month. The brain doesn't develop enough to process memories properly until about two years old. Though, I think my friend's son started recognizing me around 18-months; and I taught him how to high-five at about 10-months. I doubt he remembers that it was me.
