* ConvenientMiscarriage: Discussed in a quite heavy scene after [[spoiler:Heather has a miscarriage. She and Colt are both devastated, as they were preparing to be parents, even if they weren't a couple anymore, and Colt was genuinely excited. However, they both admit to being relieved, since not throwing a baby into the mix solves a ''lot'' of problems for them both. This of course makes them both, Colt in particular, feel extremely guilty. But, as Heather points out, they can't beat themselves up for feeling that way forever.]]

* StandardizedSitcomHousing: The show plays with it, as a lot of sets are in outdoor locations. Although parodied somewhat in one episode where a gas company employee came by to talk about a business opportunity, we first see her enter through the normal entrance as she wraps up talking with Beau, says her goodbyes and walks to the far end of the set, and the boys mention how weird it is for someone to use the ''front entrance'' of the house.
