!!The show provides examples of:

* AllTheGoodMenAreGay: The show's tagline plays with this:
-->"All the good men are either married or gay. I got both."
* AmicableExes: Essentially the premise of the entire show.
* DepravedBisexual: Charles Shaughnessy, aka Maxwell from TheNanny, guest stars in the Season One finale as a DepravedBisexual who managed to seduce both Fran and Peter (neither of whom realized till the very end) and lure them into his hotel room. Fran tells Peter "He's straight!" Peter tells Fran "He's gay!" Suddenly he announces "He's ''boooth!!''" and invites them both to bed. Fran and Peter turn him down.
* IncompatibleOrientation: They didn't learn this until they had been married for about 20 years, but it still happens.
* LastHetRomance
* LifeEmbellished: The show is essentially a [[LighterAndSofter lighter, softer,]] and wackier version of what happened with the real life Fran and Peter. The general premise of Fran and Peter divorcing after Peter came out as gay is real, however, in real life, the revelation left Fran and Peter not speaking to each other, and it was only Fran Drescher's uterine cancer diagnosis that led them to reconcile.
* ObliviousToLove: Peter can be ''really'' clueless when a guy makes a pass at him.
