!Tropes for the series:
* DumpsterDive: Charles "Roc" Emerson is a garbageman and uses his job to supply the house with much of the things it needs. In the pilot he's shown with a day-old newspaper ("Hey, this isn't ''USA Today'', it's ''USA Yesterday''.") and he picks up a broken VCR which his friend Wizz fixes for him - but the user has to hold the play button down at all times in order to watch a video.
* LiveEpisode: The show arguably started the modern-day trend for live episodes. After presenting one episode live in the first season, the entire second season was broadcast live. It went back to taped shows for its third (and last) season.
* TheLoinsSleepTonight: This happens to Roc in one episode. Eleanor is trying to comfort him, but her ebonics accent makes it [[ThatCameOutWrong come out wrong]].
-->'''Eleanor''': "Now honey, what happened last night is not that impo'tant (Roc storms out of the room) I mean [=imPORtant=]! IMPORTANT!".
* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: A long lost relative gets engaged, and carefully breaks it to Roc's racist black father that his fiance is white, though forgets to mention it's a man.
