** While the show is still popular, viewers have noted that certain aspects have not aged well. Penny, who has light skin and a thin though shapely build, is portrayed as pretty, desirable, and has an overall good moral compass, compared to Dijonay, who's darker, plump, and a gossipy backstabber, who has nine rowdy younger siblings. It doesn't help that she was originally named "Delinquetta". The Gross Sisters are portrayed as blue-skinned because they're ashy, and the Chang Triplets are stereotypical AsianAndNerdy characters. When the Chang Triplets finally reappeared in the second season of ''Louder and Prouder'', they got {{retool}}ed to be less stereotypical and more individualized.

** While the show is still popular, viewers have noted that certain aspects have not aged well. The show has been accused of being colorist, as Penny, who has light skin and a thin though shapely build, is portrayed as pretty, desirable, and has an overall good moral compass, compared to Dijonay, who's darker, plump, and a gossipy backstabber, who has nine rowdy younger siblings. It doesn't help that she was originally named "Delinquetta". The While it's the most apparent with Dijonay, this issue also applies to other dark skinned characters like Oscar or Suga Mama being portrayed negatively/as unattractive while light skinned characters, like Trudy, are portrayed as level headed/attractive. Additionally, the Gross Sisters are portrayed as blue-skinned because they're ashy, and the Chang Triplets are stereotypical AsianAndNerdy characters. When the Chang Triplets finally reappeared in the second season of ''Louder and Prouder'', they got {{retool}}ed to be less stereotypical and more individualized.

** Suga Mama is a base breaking character. Some fans find her hilarious while loving the fact that she is a good grandmother to her three grandchildren. Other fans, however, find her to be too abusive and mean (towards her son Oscar) to be likable as a character.

** Penny in general when it comes to her family members. She would forcefully recant her statement of how she can't stand her family members (Oscar, Trudy and Suga Mama) when she's overheard in certain scenes due to how irritated she gets with their attitudes. With the way Oscar and Trudy act (the former with his ManChild ways and the latter with her self-centered and domineering attitude), it's hard to blame Penny for her feelings towards them. Many fans especially hate how Penny is always forced to watch the twins, either having to take them with her to events or having to cancel her plans last minute, arguing just because Penny is the oldest it’s not fair for her, a teenager, to have to take care of them, and if child care is such a constant need her parents should hire a babysitter.

** In the second episode, Penny jokes "Sticky, we're Republicans, we don't pay taxes". Cut to the UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump presidency about two decades later...

** "Tiger Whisperer" has a scene where Penny and Trudy are in a car and come across Sunset and LaCienega, since it is bring-your-daughter-to-work day for Sunset. Seems normal enough... until LaCienega randomly decides to ARREST Penny [[ItAmusedMe for the fun of it]] only to be stopped by Sunset. LaCi being mean to Penny [[SitcomArchNemesis is nothing new]], but this scene comes off as VERY bizarre because of how [[OutOfCharacterMoment randomly aggressive]] LaCienega (who's normally a verbal bully who just insults Penny) was being. Penny [[AngstWhatAngst never says anything about what just happened there]], nor is there any indication that LaCienega [[KarmaHoudini got punished for it]] other than Sunset firmly telling her to stop.
