Kick the Dog: Dee, literally.

Non-Human Sidekick: Parker's dog Massimo.
Not so Different: Dee and Victoria are both self-absorbed Jerkasses. Victoria just does a better job at hiding it, which makes her more of a jerkass.
Oblivious to Love: Parker is crushing on her boss Blake Bellamy who seems to be going out with a skinny French model.
Panty Shot: Chicago, oh yeah!
Poor Man's Substitute: The voice actress of Mimi Chiu seemed to be putting on her best Lauren Tom impression.
Raised by Wolves: Dee was raised by cougars.
