History Series / HoneyIShrunkTheKids

It continued where the first movie left off and follows the misadventures the Szalinski family as Wayne's inventions would usually cause some sort of incident that had to be resolved by the family. Later episodes introduced more and more supernatural elements in an attempt to compete with shows like ''Series/{{Charmed}}'', much to the annoyance of fans of pure science fiction.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: "Honey, We're Past Tense" has the family going back to prehistoric times. Not only do they encounter both dinosaurs and cavemen but an overgrown monitor lizard which gets identified as a ''Tenontosaurus'' (a herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur).

* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: One of these nurses Amy's sprained ankle in "Honey, He's Not Abominable".

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: For a Disney show, there was a lot, such as the ColdOpening of "Honey, You're Living In The Past", where Wayne's new invention allowed anyone who used it to remember something from the past, which was shown on a screen, and when Nick uses it, Wayne accidentally punched in the time that was [[{{Squick}} 5 minutes before Nick was born]].
** Season Three's "Honey, We're On TV!" has the in-Universe LeaveItToBeaver pastiche where its kid main character named "Cooter Cleavage."

Lasted for three seasons with 65 episodes under its belt (as it was a Disney show, that was the allotted number of episodes a show could have back then, despite this show being mostly syndicated). Peter Scolari was also praised for his portrayal of Wayne that some fans prefer him over Creator/RickMoranis.

* ArtifactTitle: The ShrinkRay was rarely ever used, aside from a 3 storylines and a few cameo uses.

* InsaneTrollLogic: [[spoiler:Vanilla (or anything with vanilla flavouring)]] works as an antidote to a LovePotion spilled over some chocolates [[spoiler:just because "the opposite of chocolate is vanilla".]]

* ContinuityNod: To the first movie only.

* AlphaBitch: Tiara (played by JewelStaite).

* [[DeathbringerTheAdorable Deathbwinger The Adorable]]: In "Honey, The Bear is Bad News", when Wayne is coerced into tweaking the Fwuffy Bear toy, he gives him updates such as voice recognition, and finally downloads everything he programmed into Fwuffy, but unfortunately, the Legion virus was downloaded into Fwuffy along with the data, making him evil.

* GetAholdOfYourselfMan: Wayne does this to Carter in "Honey, The House is Trying to Kill Us", after [[{{Yandere}} F.R.A.N.]] [[FunWithAcronyms (Felon Repel-er and Accident Neutralizer)]] puts him in a box.

* HollywoodHacking: Very blatant in TheTeaser of "Honey, The Bear is Bad News" where Nick's destroying of the Legion computer virus is treated more like a video game.

* LovePotion: A pheromone accidentally got spilled on Wayne's hypoallergenic chocolates (Diane is allergic, and the chocolates tasted like earwax according to Mr. Jennings), 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, specifically, the vanilla mints Tiara was snacking on before kissing Nick while under the influence of the chocolates.]]

* {{Retcon}}: Where to start? The Szalinskis originated from Denver rather than Fresno, Amy has red hair, Nick is at least a year younger than in the first movie and plays baseball, Quark is a Labrador instead of a small dog (until season 2), and they changed Wayne's brother's name from Gordon to Randy for some reason.

* TakeThat: TheGrimReaper does not like Film/MeetJoeBlack starring Creator/BradPitt.

* TheOtherDarrin: Due to Amy O'Neill and Robert Oliveri being all grown up, and Rick Moranis being on hiatus at the time, the main characters get different actors.
