2 | %%* CrazyIsCool: |
3 | %%** If you don't mind Franklin, he can seem like this. |
4 | %%** The wedding that Michael and Jay had planned for Junior was going to be this, a bit too much. |
5 | * CreatorsPet: Franklin, who in later episodes would have bigger impacts on the plot than Michael's wife and kids, to the point of becoming a recurring DeusExMachina. In the episode that deals with the remodel of the garage, he saves the day by revealing he's a certified contractor; and in the episode where Michael becomes a {{Jerkass}} after [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] everyone in foosball, Franklin is the one who somehow has the skills to put him in his place. |
6 | %%* EnsembleDarkhorse: The CALVINATOR! |
7 | * GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The show's pretty popular in Brazil, due to it being constantly aired in an open TV channel, as well as in Italy and France, where it got frequents reruns. |
8 | * HilariousInHindsight: "Samba Story" has a throw away line about Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger and Creator/SylvesterStallone being in a movie together, [[Film/TheExpendables eight years before it actually happened]]. |
9 | * MorePopularReplacement: The second Claire, played by Jennifer Nicole Freeman, is much more popular than the first one, played by Jazz Raycole in season 1. Justified, as season 1 only lasted 11 episodes and we get to know Freeman's Claire much more. Freeman's Claire was also a clumsier, more flawed character and this made her funnier. |
10 | * RetroactiveRecognition: |
11 | ** Isn't that genius kid [[Series/{{Heroes}} Micah Sanders]]? Yep, [[Creator/NoahGrayCabey it's him]]. |
12 | ** In the episode "Crouching Mother, Hidden Father", a little girl singing a verse from [[Theatre/FunnyGirl "Don't Rain On My Parade"]] during a Kindergarten audition is none other than Creator/BeanieFeldstein around [[OlderThanTheyLook age 10]]. |
13 | ** Before his first big role as Sharkboy in ''Film/TheAdventuresOfSharkboyAndLavagirl'', a very young Creator/TaylorLautner played one of Franklin's bullies in an episode. |
14 | ** Creator/JerryTrainor, best known for his role on ''Series/ICarly'', had a bit role in "The Bowling Show" as a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fan. |
15 | ** Creator/TJThyne, best known as Jack Hodgins from ''Series/{{Bones}}'', had [[YouLookFamiliar two different roles]] on this show. First as the pizza delivery guy in "Outbreak Money" and then as a store manager in "Open Your Heart". |
16 | ** "Samba Story" (2002) features Creator/SofiaVergara in what was only her second or third acting role, after guest appearances on the soap opera ''Acapulco, cuerpo y alma'' (1995), and a supporting role in ''Film/BigTrouble'' (also in 2002). |
17 | %%* ToyShip: Kady and Franklin. |
18 | * ValuesDissonance: Most of the jokes about homosexuality (and LGBTQ+ topics, for that matter) are very clearly of a different time period. So much so, when the series was syndicated on [[Creator/NickAtNite Nick @ Nite]] in the mid 2010's, most, but not all, of these jokes were edited out (though this may also have been for timeslot reasons, but still). |
