Caitlin's Way/YMMV
- Seasonal Rot: Many viewers thought Caitlin spent way too much of season two mooning over "bad boy" Will, in contrast to her tough, independent characterization in season one.
- Wangst
- Weird Al Effect: The Amanda Show had a pitch-perfect parody of Caitlin's Way in Moody's Point, which became very popular and was seen as a general parody of Teen Drama as the show was forgotten.
- Moody's Point was a much closer parody of Dawson's Creek than it was of Caitlin's Way.
