History Series / HoneyIShrunkTheKids

* DarkerAndEdgier: The show's pop culture references and occasional GettingCrapPastTheRadar moments make it more so.

* DoggedNiceGuy: Damon likes Amy, but Amy is attracted to Lyle.

** Gladys, the helper chimp at JenTech, falls for Wayne after tasting some chocolate.

* ClothesMakeTheManiac: The Thinky-Ring, which turned the wearer into a psychic vampire that grows smarter by draining the intelligence of other people, not to mention addictively evil. Diane went so far as to call the ring her "precious," a reference to ''The Lord of the Rings'' (the novel; This was years before the movie version), and when Nick wore it he dressed up in a black robe and used a growth ray to enlarge his cranium.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Just like in the movie, Amy had this trait.
* LovePotion: Got spilled on Wayne's hypoallergenic chocolates, causing those who eat them to fall in love with the first person of the opposite sex they see. [[spoiler:The antidote happens to be vanilla.]]

* {{Yandere}}: [[FunWithAcronyms F.R.A.N. (Felon Repel-er and Accident Neutralizer)]], a security system Wayne developed in early season one, becomes obsessed with her creator and was jealous of Diane, so much that [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous she set the oven to burn the roast]].

* TheMenInBlack: Somewhat malevolent, often after Ar'Nox. [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy Actually aliens responsible for a conspiracy that goes all the way back to the all-seeing eye (the pyramid with the eye on the dollar bill)]].

* HotMom: Amy.

* {{MIB}}: Somewhat malevolent, often after Ar'Nox.

* CucumberFacial: Diane and Amy use what they think was facial mask in the beginning of one episode, but was really a concoction Wayne made for peeling coconuts. As the mask dissolves the wooden spoon used for mixing, they scream in horror as they hurry to rinse it off.

** "Honey, She's Like A Fish Out Of Water" acknowledges Amy's SuperDrowningSkills that occurred in the original movie. She fixes that by using an experimental cream Wayne made.

* ActorAllusion: One episode of the series had as a Running Gag references to "the guy from BosomBuddies" - "TomHanks?" - "No, the other * guy." — i.e., Peter Scolari, who plays Wayne in the show.
