Tropes for the series:

  • Actually Pretty Funny: In one episode, Sarah considers getting a nose job after her father and sister hurl all sorts of big nose-related puns at her. When her father approaches her to talk her out of the surgery.
    Sarah: Oh, here's one you forgot - Sarah-no de Bergeracnote 
    Matt: (beat) Okay that would have been a good one.
  • Alliterative Name: Sarah Stewart and Sam Stewart.
  • Alliterative Title: Mentor Matt.
  • Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films: Not a horror film but Sarah takes Emily with her and her friends to see an R-rated movie called "Love To Love". Emily ends up trying to practice making out with a boy from school. At the end of the episode, Sarah reveals that she's been lying to her dad about what movies she sees for years.
  • One-Steve Limit: The show acknowledged this in an episode once as Sarah had an Evan, Erin, and Aaron at the house for dinner and Emily stammered on the names a couple of times.
  • One-Word Title: Pilot and Bully.
  • Picture Day: One episode is set set on Picture Day but instead of being the main setting, it led into a plot about Sarah being uncomfortable about her appearance and considering getting a nose job.
