** While Jessica Tate was by no means difficult on the eyes (and [[ThePollyanna her personality]] and [[LovableRedhead red hair]] certainly didn't hurt), the way the show set her up as being simply irresistible to virtually ''any'' man who crossed her path was a little over the top.

ValuesResonance: Even though he ultimately doesn't go through with it and the whole thing rests heavily on being FairForItsDay (including correlating being gay with being trans which is now known to not necessarily always be the case), Jodie's desire for a sex-change operation in the first season, in particular the scene where he explains his reasons to Mary (telling her very firmly that he knows he should be a woman and has always felt that way and is glad to have surgery as an option to be his true self), is surprisingly well presented and not PlayedForLaughs nearly as much as one would think. All of which makes the plotline surprisingly resonant since the late 2010 with the increasing visibility of trans people and their experiences.

** The treatment of Chester re: his infidelity is alternately played for laughs or to show him as a scoundrel. On closer examination, Chester displays many of the signs of sex addiction, a psychological condition far better understood and sympathized with in the 21st Century.
