The Show
Josh "J" Cody
Janine "Smurf" Cody
Andrew "Pope" Cody
- Interrupted Suicide: He's ready to shoot himself due to guilt over killing his lifelong love, Catherine, and his current girlfriend Amy being shocked and rejecting him over it. But it's interrupted by a phone call which triggers his Papa Wolf instincts. Later, he tries Suicide by Cop (the "cop" being Baz here, being the law enforcer regarding his wife's death) but Baz ultimately decides to forgive him and blame Smurf instead.
- No Medication for Me: Refuses to take his meds after being released from prison. Baz and Smurf have to conspire to sneak it into his food, and when he finds out he complains that he isn't sure whether they like him more on them or as a psycho.
- Troubled, but Cute: He's had a few flings in his own right, but not to the same amount as his brothers. This is because his mental issues can hold him back from making emotional connections, and yet at the same time he's more interested in love than the others (rather than one night stands, group sex and cheating).
- Unto Us a Son and Daughter Are Born: He and Julia were fraternal twins. Discussed in the early episodes, then shown in a flashback in season four.
Barry "Baz" Blackwell
- Adaptation Name Change: His small family's last name goes from Brown to Blackwell.
Craig Cody
Deran Cody

- Armored Closet Gay: For this version, the writers took the movie's angle about Pope suspecting Darren to be gay and rolled with it to develop the television character. He is very closeted and defensive about his sexuality.
