History Series / MyTwoDads

The obvious solution is for Nicole to live with both men. This is suggested to be what Nicole's mother wanted, so that Nicole could benefit from each dad's best traits: Michael (Creator/PaulReiser) is sensible and organized, while Joey (Greg Evigan) is artistic and carefree.

* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: The season one finale, "Friends of the Family", introduced Cory and Roy's mother, Karen, in an attempt to give them their own spinoff with Ed as her love interest.

** One episode has the dads walk in on Nicole and Cory (the [[BettyAndVeronica geeky one]] of her two [[SheIsNotMyBoyfriend not-boyfriends]]). Cory shouts out "It's not how it looks!" then [[IdiotBall adds]]: "Actually, how ''does'' it look?"

Marcy Bradford, mother to twelve-year-old Nicole, passes away, leaving Nicole (Staci Keanan) to live with her father. Trouble is, Marcy was dating two different men when Nicole was conceived, and she never knew which was the father. DNA testing was not yet commercially available, and the blood typing was inconclusive.

* ActorAllusion: [Variation] In one episode, Klawicki intimidates a shady character that owes him money by showing him footage from his (Klawicki's) [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball pro football]] days of him destroying people with hard tackles. Klawicki was played by NFL Hall of Famer Dick Butkis, and it was his own real-life highlights Klawicki was showing.

* OddCouple: Michael and Joey

* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Judge Wilbur uses this in the PrisonEpisode.

* BlessedWithSuck: In the episode where Nicole is jealous of a classmate's early breast development, Judge Margaret tells her that 'she'' had been the first in her class to develop breasts, and that it was actually this trope. Sure, she was popular, but it was not the kind of popularity that Nicole would want.
