Tropes for the series:

  • Alliterative Name: Dennis Dupree.

  • Name and Name: Hope and Gloria.
  • Screaming at Squick: When Hope sleeps with a guy, and then gets a clue that misleads her to believe he's her half brother.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Talk show host Dennis Dupree (Thicke) has a massive grudge against... Alan Thicke. This comes to a climax at a Growing Pains reunion on Dupree's show which ends in a Thicke on Thicke fistfight.
