* YesVirginia: "The Night They Arrested Santa Claus" sees a crook dressed as Santa rob the main characters during their Christmas party. To help teach Alexandria the spirit of Christmas, the adults each get the idea to dress up like Santa--only to each get mistaken for the crook and arrested. Eventually, a guard with a white beard and twinkle in his eye brings in the real crook--calling him a disgrace to Santa, letting everyone else out of the cell, and quickly departing. Upon learning no such guard is on duty tonight, Lester wonders if the guy was actually Santa. He dismisses that as crazy, only for everyone to suddenly hear sleigh bells.

* NosyNeighbor: All of them, to varying degrees. Mary decides for herself to interfere in Sandra's plans to become a single mother when Sandra's reproductive plans are actually absolutely none of her business.

* MistakenForCheating [=/=] MistakenConfession: Lester shows up at Mary's hotel room in order to surprise her. He's shocked to find men's clothing in her closet (which she bought for ''him''). When she returns to the room, he holds up one of the shirts, asking her, "How could you do this to me?", assuming she's having an affair. Thinking he's complaining about the clothes and not understanding why he's upset, she blithely declares, "Honey, I do it all the time! Whenever I shop, whenever I travel! I thought you liked it!"

* ParentWithNewParamour: Lester's dad in "The Class of '90".

* CousinOliver: Countess Vaughn as Alexandria, an obnoxious ChildProdigy who moves in with the Jenkins family during Season 4.

* WeddingDay: Rose and Warren get married in Season 5's "Do Not Pass Go: Part 2".

* {{Flanderization}}: Sandra was much more of a vamp when the series began, was reasonably intelligent, and even dressed somewhat modestly. As time went on, her character became more of a man-hungry, airheaded bimbo, with the sexy dresses to match.

* AlphaBitch: In early episodes, Sandra was basically this for the apartment complex, although she was not without her softer moments. In later episodes, she became less snobbish and more dopey. Mary's later nemesis Emma Johnson plays this straighter, even with her own GirlPossee.
