History YMMV / Everwood

* HarsherInHindsight: Ephram's comment about Nina's surrogacy that he "doesn't understand how anyone could just give up a baby" becomes so much harsher three years later.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Rose and Harold(and to a lesser extent Bright) fall into this big time in season 2 with their appalling treatment of Amy, first the latter attack her boyfriend Tommy during dinner(instead of expressing his concern privately which Amy later points out he should've done) and then blatantly accuses her of "FAKING HER DEPRESSION"(which in real life can drive someone who is depressed into attempting suicide)and threatens to imprison her in her own home, while Rose at first seems to be reasonable, after she finds out Amy didn't really run away(she was at Edna's) she then suddenly gets even worse then Harold by refusing to accept Amy's apology and accusing Amy of "controlling" the family(which feels more like projection on her part and comes off as downright laughable considering she's ignoring the root cause of Amy's problem) and both accuse Amy of being an "embarrassment"(Which feels more like the two of them being more concerned over their careers then about their own daughter)and also backs up Harold on the whole "home imprisonment" thing, they even act disrespectful when their priest tries to mediate things between them, it's ironic how they accuse Amy of being "immature" when they are in fact the ones doing so by just wanting her to "get over" her depression and essentially be an obedient slave to them, and then afterwards it becomes downright laughable when Rose is talking about how "shocked" she was that it didn't work, oh gee it's sooooo shocking that Amy didn't want to go back to a place where she'd become a prisoner in her own home. The show wants us to feel sorry for them, but many viewers saw their treatment of Amy as unforgivable and felt like it was impossible to see them as likable characters again after that.

** The adults could be this as well, Harold and Rose especially after Amy runs away from home (due to the former's terrible treatment of her including "accusing her of FAKING her depression" and threatening to imprison her in her own home essentially)Rose whining and accusing Amy of "controlling" the family comes off as projection and Rose being surprised that Amy wasn't willing to come home and be imprisoned(and Amy was willing to give up her phone and car as well)comes off as downright laughable.

* HilariousInHindsight: Apparently [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Star Lord]] and [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Sharon Carter]] are brother and sister.

** Both Pratt and [=VanCamp=] joined the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in the same year, Pratt as Peter Quill in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' and [=VanCamp=] as Agent Sharon Carter in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''; both films were released in 2014.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Madison and Ephram's relationship is said by other characters to be "illegal" but in real life their relationship is actually perfectly legal under the "Close in Age" exception clause in the [[https://www.shouselaw.com/co/defense/laws/statutory-rape/#3.1 Colorado law for statutory rape]]

* FoeYay: Dr Abbott takes every chance to mock Andy Brown. Amy jokes, "You so have a boy crush on him."
** Bright and Ephram have a bit of this themselves in season 1, which becomes regular HoYay after they become friends in season 2.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Many, many times, by several of the characters. Also a female version when Rose scolds her mother.
* ContinuityCavalcade: At the end of Season 3, with a lot of supporting characters and patients of the week going to Andy's ''Appreciation Party''.

* LoveObstructingParents: Only occasionally, as Andy heavily opposed Ephram and Madison at first (he was very fond of Madison but didn't approve of their being together because of the age difference) and Harold didn't like Tommy at all. Otherwise averted: Rose and Harold were warm and welcoming towards Colin, Ephram and Hannah, as were Andy towards Amy and Stephanie and Hannah's mother towards Bright. Edna also encouraged her daughter to date Andy, and Andy's father quickly saw Nina as someone who could make his son happy. It could be argued that, in the case of Andy dating Linda, Harold was a ''love-obstructing older brother''.
* MissingMom: A lot actually, to the point that Rose and Nina are the only significant exceptions. Otherwise: Julia dies, Edna was absent for a large part of Harold's childhood, Rose's mother was psychologically abusive to the point of bullying, Hannah and Kyle had rocky relationships with their mothers, Reid's mom is portrayed as emotionally distant (until she had a very strong wake-up call), it's mentioned that Andy's mother died when he was relatively young (though possibly already a doctor), Irv's daughter also resented her mother, Madison's was distant enough that she wasn't told about the pregnancy, Brittany's mother is out of the picture (she lives with her father and step-mother), several patients also have a dead or disappeared mother... by comparison, there are lots of dads around.
* TearJerker: way, ''way'' too many.

* TearJerker - way, ''way'' too many

* WallBanger - When Ephram had sex with (and eventually impregnated) his ''babysitter''. The point where it JumpedTheShark for some, and may have deprived it of the necessary viewership and "wholesomeness" that might otherwise have saved it from being CutShort.

* TearJerker - way, ''way'' too many

* [[HeyItsThatGuy Hey, It's That Woman]] - Brenda Strong, who plays [[DesperateHousewives a loving wife and mother who dies in the pilot episode and reappears in flashbacks later]].
