* The "Chanukah" episode where the Manoirs find the Menorah heirloom on the bus, take it and use it as a chandelier. But then after they improvise at the Chanukah party (without said Menorah), the Manoirs actually drive up and return it to them. For ''one'' moment, Nanette actually ''isn't'' a total bitch...which quickly fleets.
* Coach Rinehart wants Gordy to be a big, tough jock [[FollowInMyFootsteps like him]], but Gordy would rather bake strawberry souffles. Eventually, his father accepts him for who he is...and admits he likes the souffles.
** In fact, the exchange is very heartwarming, when Coach Rinehart asks what Gordy and Angela's brothers are doing. When Gordy tells him they're making a chocolate souffle, his response:
--> '''Coach Rinehart''': A ''chocolate souffle''?! How many times do I have to tell you! *his expression changes from angry to happy* My favourite is strawberry."
** The entirety of "Saving Private Gordy" is this. Not only do we have Angela being protective of her friend but Mark and Derek bond quite well with Gordy both in sports and in baking. Then Coach Rinehart comes in and leads the boys into a playful drill to start making a strawberry souffle. All things considered, it's an episode that shows the best qualities in the majority of the cast.
* Most of "Karlean on Me" is actually pretty nice (outside of the ImagineSpot that occurs during the second half of the episode), since this is the development of Karlean, one of Nanette's cronies who is pretty much supposed to be a FlatCharacter.
* "The pup who would be King". Angela is very reluctant to give up her favourite of King's puppies, especially not to Mrs. Brinks. But then she finds out that the puppy is in fact being given love by the Brinkses, and when Angela admits all she wanted to do was play with the puppy, Mrs. Brinks forgives her for what she did and Mr. Brinks even points out Angela would be the best person to dogsit when they go out.
* Mr. and Mrs. Brinks' relationship in general. Both of them are a clear case of OppositesAttract but we see that despite Mrs. Brinks's tendency to be bossy and loud compared to Mr. Brinks's sensitive and kind nature, she loves her husband very much and the feeling is very much mutual on his end.
