  • Fridge Brilliance
    • Fausta partially represents Denial which is why she often pretends to not understand English or Comically Misses The Point about Anne being a lesbian.
    • Owen's brother is named C. Lewis. The group shows up for Halloween as the characters of Alice In Wonderland.
    • The group as a whole tends to be expies of each other. For Ryan, Owen is his quiet inner side (the side that talks to Janie in his head). K is his quirkiness. Fausta is his narcissist. Anne is his devoted husband aspect. Yolanda is the shy doormat side of him. Sonia is his need for social company. And so on.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Ryan. He may act like a jerk sometimes, but he's hiding a lot of pain inside.
  • Les Yay: When Sonia demonstrates to Wyatt how to propose to Lauren, she uses Yolanda as a faux-Lauren. Sonia's so convincing that Yolanda is left breathless and expecting a ring.
    • Yolanda also might be in love with Lauren. She has technically taken her out on a date.
      • To be fair, it's been established that almost everyone has fallen for Lauren at some point.
  • One-Scene Wonder: Terrell Owens, in basically every episode he's in.
  • Tear Jerker: Anne reaming out Danny about not being more angry at his wife's betrayal suddenly becomes this when she begins equating it with her late wife forgetting to take her heart medication.
  • Too Good to Last: Relatively well-liked comedy with fine acting from the ensemble, yet cancelled after one year on NBC due to struggling ratings.
  • The Woobie: The whole support group is this.
