''Everwood'' was a drama series that ran from 2002-06 on what was then Creator/TheWB, starring Treat Williams as Dr. Andrew Brown (unlike most of the WB's shows, this was cancelled when it merged with Creator/{{UPN}} to create Creator/TheCW). After the death of his wife, Brown left his prestigious position at a New York hospital, packed up his teenage son and nine-year-old daughter, and left the big city for the quiet, sleepy mountain town of Everwood, Colorado.

* FirstPeriodPanic: Delia Brown falls in the category who knows what is happening, but [[MissingMom whose mom is dead]] and has no female figure to talk to (except Andy offers to ask their friendly neighbour Nina). She gets her first period like a champ. She's not feeling too well, but insists she wants to play ice-hockey (she's a major tomboy and her teammates depend on her). She's embarrassed when her father tells her coach and he repeats it out loud in front of all the boys who laugh at her. Also, she's thrown off balance a bit when she goes shopping for pads with her dad — brand Always doesn't sound good, but Andy assures her it usually lasts from 3 to 7 days. Her cramps are pretty bad, too, because when Andy suggests she takes pain killers, she asks if she can have ten.

* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Amy's junkie boyfriend Tommy, in the second season. Her father is usually ok with her dating, for example he had no problems with Colin, but he forbids her this relationship. She insists she will help him stop but she starts using drugs herself. (They break up before it gets pretty bad.)



* LoveObstructingParents: Only occasionally, as Andy heavily opposed Ephram and Madison at first (he was very fond of Madison but didn't approve of their being together because of the age difference) and Harold didn't like Tommy at all. Otherwise averted: Rose and Harold were warm and welcoming towards Colin, Ephram and Hannah, as were Andy towards Amy and Stephanie and Hannah's mother towards Bright. Edna also encouraged her daughter to date Andy, and Andy's father quickly saw Nina as someone who could make his son happy. It could be argued that, in the case of Andy dating Linda, Harold was a ''love-obstructing older brother''.
