* HappilyAdopted: Averted. Although she's not actually adopted, Bailey just assumes that she is because she's the [[HollywoodGenetics only one in the family with red hair]]. She even goes on this bogus journey to find [[ThePartridgeFamily Danny Bonaduce]], her so-called "biological father" to see if he's her real father. Turns out that he's not her real father and that it she is the biological daughter of both Conrad and Irma.

** Davina admits to having a crush on [[Series/{{Blossom}} Joey Lawrence]] and [[GrowingPains Kirk Cameron]].

Like most family sitcoms, the show did had a handful of [[VerySpecialEpisode very special episodes]] that revolved around serious issues (same topics that you would normally find in [[AfterSchoolSpecial after school specials]]) that the main characters on the show face while still maintaining the light-hearted and family-friendly theme. There was originally supposed to be a SpinOff series focusing on Midge's younger siblings, Garrett, Bailey and the arrival of their new younger sibling, but it's still stuck in DevelopmentHell and it's unknown whether it will be picked up by Creator/{{YTV}}. The nine seasons of the series are now out on DVD seperately. Like every other family sitcoms, the show had a handful of [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas Episodes]] (plus a ChristmasSpecial), [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween Episodes]], [[ThanksgivingDay Thanksgiving Day Episodes]], a Mother's Day episode, a few ValentinesDay episodes and even a NewYearsEve episode.

** Bailey resembles [[AngelaAnaconda Candy May]].

* AffectionateParody: The game show ''Spin That Wheel'' is a parody of ''WheelOfFortune'' without solving the puzzles. It's a game where the contestants spin the giant wheel that contains extremely tough (albeit embarrassing) challenges and whatever the wheel falls on, they would have to perform those tough challenges.

* InSeriesNickname: Bailey's nickname on the show is "Little Red", whom her siblings call her sometimes because she's a natural redhead. She's had other nicknames besides "Little Red" such as "Literature/RedRidingHood", "Red Robin Hood", "Ginger", "Film/GingerSnaps", "[[Music/SpiceGirls Ginger Spice]]", "Literature/PippiLongstocking", "Freckles" and "StrawberryShortcake".

** Davina has alot in common with both [[HeyArnold Olga Pataki]] and [[Series/EvenStevens Ren Stevens]]. The three being very smart and perfect, but Davina is not as neurotic and melodramatic like Olga when it comes to getting good grades.
** Chauncey kinda reminds everyone of both [[SavedByTheBell Zack Morris]] and [[LifeWithDerek Derek Venturi]]. He shares the same qualities of manipulating his friends or siblings like Zack and behaving like a {{Jerkass}} CasanovaWannabe like Derek. Did I mention that they're both [[BrilliantButLazy pretty smart, despite not actually doing any schoolwork]]? He also can be reminded of [[TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Zack Martin]].
** Garrett is similar to [[TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Cody Martin]].
** Cynthia shares the same personalities of [[LizzieMcGuire Kate Sanders]] and [[ANTFarm Lexi Reed]], with being very mean and stuck-up towards others.

* BigApplesauce: Eliza is from Manhattan, UsefulNotes/NewYork.

* AmericanAccents: Averted. Although Farrah was born in Boston, she doesn't exactly speak with a Boston accent. Neither does her mom. It's justified since her mother was originally born in North Carolina.

* GenreShift: The show's PilotMovie ''My Sister and Me'' was more of a drama flick, but as soon as the producers from {{YTV}} picked it up as a series in mid-1997, the genre changed to a comedy series.

** Midge and Farrah both apply to Prescott College, a prestigous school in Arizona. Midge gets in, but Farrah doesn't. Midge decides not to go to Prescott because her best friend wasn't accepted and they decided to attend [[CaliforniaUniversity Berkley University]] together instead.

* AlternateUniverse: In "Just Like Davina", Midge wishes that she had the looks and popularity of her older sister and ultimately wakes up in an alternate reality. Everyone's personalities are completely different: Midge is the most beautiful, popular girl in school and is her parents' favorite child; Davina is the fat, ugly zit-faced slob who's jealousy and resentment of her younger sister's popularity causes her to hate her entirely; Chauncey is the kind, compassionate one who's well-behaved, while Garrett is a bratty {{Jerkass}} who gives others a hard time, Bailey is the smartest kid alive and is now attending college and Farrah is the cynical {{Goth}} with a pessimistic view on life and her and Midge's friendship has never even existed.

** Irma sadly falls into this trope after losing her baby from a difficult labor. It took almost a while for her to get back on her feet, though she slowly gets better.

* BrotherSisterIncest: Garrett and Bailey. They have a very close relationship and I mean a ''very close relationship''. Garrett's overprotectiveness of Bailey prompts everyone to think that he's in love with her.

* InformedAttractiveness: Midge repeatedly states that Davina is the most beautiful girl on this planet, even outwardly saying that she was Cloverdale High's "Most Beautiful Girl" back in the day. Compared to the other female characters that have shown up on the show with good looks and physical appearances, Davina definitely has some serious competition with them.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Conrad and Chauncey. When Conrad was younger, he also played sports back in school; the same thing with Chauncey. In high school, Conrad was the most popular guy in school; the same with Chauncey. No wonder Conrad [[ParentalFavoritism favors Chauncey]] a lot more than his other kids.

* LittlestCancerPatient: Celia, Bailey's friend, who has leukemia.

* LongLostUncleAesop: Celia, Bailey's friend from school, has leukemia.

* ParentalFavoritism: According to Midge's maternal grandmother, she tells her that [[spoiler: Midge]] is Irma's favorite child because the two have a very close relationship, but she tells her not to tell her siblings about that.
** Bailey thinks from her point of view that her parents favor her the most because she's the youngest.
** This actually becomes an issue with the siblings, thinking which one of them is their parents' favorite. Irma admits that only her good children are her favorites.
** Conrad reveals that Chauncey is his favorite because of the similarities they share together.
