* MoneyDearBoy: Poor Molly Ringwald. In the outside world, show creator Brenda Hampton has said in regards to the many negative reviews that she'd rather the show get good ratings and bad reviews than bad ratings and good reviews.
* NoExportForYou: If you live in the Philippines, and you love this show so much, don't expect it to come there. The Catholic church leaders will just hound this show to death before it can air there. Fortunately this was averted, limiting the show's airing on local cable.
* RealitySubtext: Molly Ringwald's pregnancy was written into the storyline.
