History YMMV / TheSteveHarveyShow

* AluminumChristmasTrees: In “The Negotiators” Steve suggests that he and Lydia perform a funk ballad called “She’s Got Papers On Me” for the school’s student-faculty talent show. As far fetched as it sounds, “Papers” is an actual (albeit largely forgotten) song made popular by 80s Soul singer Richard “Dimples” Fields.
* TheUnfairSex: Regina Grier is a StrawFeminist who exploits DoubleStandard to the point of absurdity. It reaches points where you wonder why she hasn’t been fired. What makes it worse is that the show repeatedly calls out instances of misogynisty in relation to Steve or other men, but when these instances are flipped flopped Steve is still presented as in the wrong. It reaches the point where Regina can be considered a KarmaHoudini because anytime Steve does something wrong to her he is [[WhatTheHellHero called out on it]]. Yet while she is repeatedly called out on her narcissism and competitiveness when she does something wrong to Steve both are called out.
** Anytime Steve gets into a committed relationship and not just a fling she goes out of her way to find something wrong with the woman. But if Steve says anything about the men she dates he’s just jealous and hasn’t gotten over her. One time when Steve was offered a prestigious position she spent the entire day telling that he betrayed her but then willfully let him starve to death.
*** Connected to the above example she intentionally gave Cedric bad advice just so she could look superior. Or the time she got mad at Steve for being worried that a man was taking advantage but later being ashamed of him for letting a girl take advantage of him.
** Even as early the Pool Sharks Bet bit we see her DoubleStandard view of the world when she accused Steve of seducing a crazy temp and even getting angry when told it was the other way around. When told that the temp was stalking him by both Steve and Cedric she didn’t agree to fire the temp until after she went after her.
** Even after their RelationshipUpgrade the episodes involved either Regina accusing Steve of doing something he didn’t do, or Steve doing something she ask him to do and her getting mad about it. The series finally involved her moving to California and everyone jumping on Steve about being tired of the WillTheyOrWontThey.
** Lovita is even worse it is practically her defining trait. Anytime Cedric wants to do something that she doesn’t want him to do, or wants him to do something that he doesn’t want to do, she always says that they are married and partners. But when it is the other way around, she always says that she is a proud black woman and he has no say in her decisions. A great example of this is when Cedric and Steve went to a bachelor party. Lovita literally broke down the door and the show went out of its way to show Cedric was wrong. But in an earlier episode when Lovita and Regina went to a bridal shower, they pretty much laughed in Cedric’s face that there was going to be strippers and that was the last you heard of it.
*** Don’t forget she gets mad at Cedric for constantly doing things for her that he didn’t want to do. Or when told that her friend was hitting on him, she disregarded and out right ignored it to make the situation Cedric’s fault even to the point of forgiving him for being a man.
*** Then there is her treatment of Steve. While Steve is generally rude to her she repeatedly mooches off of him breaks into his house, goes through his things, tell other people his secretes and when he got into a position of authority disregarded it and even undermined him making thing worse then it had to be but letting him take all of the blame. While the show plays both for laughs imagine how the characters would react if Steve started treating her like she treats him.

* AcceptableProfessionalTargets: The show perpetuates the stereotype that music or art teachers are washed-up performers that can't get work anywhere else, by having Steve be ''exactly that''.

* HideYourPregnancy: Averted.
