Teens Are Short was renamed Short Teens Tall Adults to discourage usage of "teen who happened to be short", examples must say this is compared to heights of adult characters. This example reads like "teen happens to be short"


* TeensAreShort: Averted with most of the cast. However, it is played straight with Al, as Dion Basco is, by far, the shortest of the show's main cast; it's especially noticeable when compared to Steven Daniel ("El-Train" Johnson), who is almost a foot taller than Basco (and the rest of the cast members playing the teenage main characters for that matter, who are roughly the same height as one another).

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Invoked InUniverse. During a Quiz Bowl in "Keep on the Download," Manny High's team (consisting of Dawn, Al and El-Train, the latter two of whom replaced Cassidy and Martin after they quit due to Dawn's rigid teaching) is asked, "in which Dakota is Mount Rushmore located?" El-Train's answer?...
-->'''El-Train''' (with confidence): East Dakota!
-->'''Dawn:''' No! No, that's not our answer!
-->'''Ms. Noble:''' Sorry, I said I could only accept one answer and that answer, East Dakota, is very, very wrong.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


''City Guys'' was an American teen sitcom that ran from September 1997 to December 2001 on Creator/{{NBC}}, as part of the network's Saturday morning ''Series/SavedByTheBell''-clone block, TNBC. Created by Peter Engel (who was responsible for the vast majority of TNBC's shows, except for a small few such as ''NBA Inside Stuff'') and Scott Spencer Gorden (a former writer for ''SBTB''), the series centered on a group of students at the fictional Manhattan High School in an unidentified section of the UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity borough of Manhattan, specifically Chris Anderson (Scott Whyte), an otherwise normal upper-crust teen from Park Avenue, and Jamal Grant (Wesley Jonathan), who comes from a working class family in Harlem. Both boys transfer to Manhattan High (or "Manny High," as the school is usually called in-series) in the pilot episode "New Kids," where they're both revealed to have been troublemakers (Chris was kicked out of two schools, and actually was dishonorably discharged from military school, while Jamal was suspended during his first two years at his last high school and expelled junior year). Chris and Jamal don't get along at first, but despite their different upbringings, the two eventually become friends after realizing they're NotSoDifferent.

* The Bully: Only a handful of the show's incidental characters are this, and only when the plot calls for one to be included. El-Train started out as this before he was retooled as the lunkhead goofball.
