YMMV / 15/Love

• Characterization Marches On: Nate's character when introduced in Season 2 is that he's a bookish, philosophical Deadpan Snarker who disdains tennis and got himself expelled from one tennis academy only to get stuck at another. He's also a glasses-wearing, skinny nerd. In Season 3, however, there had been a year-long filming hiatus at which point the actor had been playing adults and put on a lot more muscle. As a result, Nate's character in Season 3 is much more Awesome Ego due to the actor's altered interpretation and physicality as well as the scripts making Nate a tennis player. There is one episode of Character Check where Nate turns his back on tennis again, and it is his final episode.
• Ham and Cheese: Between Squib and Rick's overracting, Bates' Freak Outs, Jesse's over-the-top Casanova act, and Sunny's borderline sociopathy, the show's ham factor was a major part of its appeal.
• Hotterand Sexier: Season 2 features a credits sequence that highlights Adena in a bikini and the formerly tomboyish Cody starts wearing sleeveless spaghetti strap tops instead of her Season 1 sweaters.
• Implausible Hair Color: Cody's darkly reddish brown hair in the series premiere becomes increasingly pink as we move into Season 1 to the point of looking almost radioactive in how bright the red colour becomes due to a dye job (that doesn't reach the roots). At times, it becomes visually distracting. After the middle of the season, a subsequent dye job darkens the red colour. By the final episodes of Season 1, the red dye begins to fade out and revert back to dark reddish brown. In Season 2, Cody's hair has stabilized to a light reddish brown.
• Tear Jerker: The deaths of Megan and Sebastian, following the tragic real life deaths of their actors.
• Toy Ship: One episode focussed around Sunny of all people getting a crush on a boy around her own age (while a ball boy, also around her age, was crushing on her). It was hysterical.
