* ValuesResonance: Carlos learns AnAesop about not conforming to gender standards when he gets a job as a perfume boy at a cosmetic store and, after worrying what his love interest will think, it turns out she has no problem with it. Likewise, despite being the 'cool' character, he's still shown to be excited to be a caregiver to a potential new baby in the family.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Carlos's status as the BigBrotherBully seems a bit like an InformedAttribute. While he's a bit superficial and lazy, he's never outwardly mean. He teases his younger siblings sure, but he has far more PetTheDog moments involving them than George. George arguably starts out even worse than Carlos when it comes to bullying, before he TookALevelInKindness in Season 3.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Downplayed but there are a few traits that date this to the early 2000s. VHS and cassette tapes are still used, the TV is analog, the teens use the house's landline rather than cell phones and Larry's video camera is quite blocky. An episode features George getting to interview Solange Knowles around the time of her debut album (2002). Larry is a fan of pro wrestling, which was still just about mainstream in the early 2000s. More superficially Carlos's SpikyHair is very much the early 2000s fashion. Lorenna freely references the pop stars of the day - Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Macie Gray and Mandy Moore. Likewise the video game technology contains {{Bland Name Product}}s of the Playstation 2 and the Game Boy - and an episode has George fantasizing about a Lara Croft {{Expy}} at the height of her presence in pop culture. Overall, despite being made in the 2000s, the ''Wonder Years''-esque narration makes it come across as ThatNostalgiaShow of the time period.

The moral doesn't seem to gel with the episode's theme and comes across as TastesLikeDiabetes.

And not to mention that Ray goes ballistic over a simple ''water fight'' - with the seriousness of if they'd been throwing grenades at each other.

* PopularityPolynomial: The show was a modest success when it was first on, netting four seasons. Once it ended, it faded into obscurity for the longest time. Then a 2018 reunion picture went viral, with many now-grown children who had watched it speaking about how much they loved it. The popularity was enough to persuade Jeff Valdez to make a sequel series.

It's justified given that the Garcia's are Mexican-Americans who are devout Catholics (and living in a socially conservative state like Texas) and Carlos is a minor living at home, hence he is beholden to his parents' rules.

One episode has Larry filming his family members breaking the rules (Such as George listening to music on the computer instead of doing homework), and he films Lorenna acting out a Telenovela fantasy with her dolls with her as a SelfInsert. When she, Carlos, and George tell their dad about Larry's snooping, her dad asks her ''exactly'' what she was doing, and when she mentions she put herself as a SelfInsert, decided she was watching too much TV. Except this is actually something a ''lot'' of kids her age do - she wasn't really breaking any rules by playing with dolls.

** Larry in the episode where he films people. He films Lorenna playing with her dolls - and she's mad that he was snooping and filming her in secret. Given that what she was doing is actually normal behaviour for kids her age, this is actually kind of hard to excuse.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Carlos's status as the BigBrotherBully seems a bit like an InformedAttribute. While he's a bit superficial and lazy, he's never outwardly mean. He teases his younger siblings sure, but he has far more PetTheDog moments involving them than George. George arguably starts out even worse than Carlos when it comes to bullying, before he TookALevelInKindness in Season 3.
