Trivia:

In the episode, "Between a Bra and a Hard Place," David Carradine makes a guest star appearance as a martial arts expert. At the end of the episode, this character disappears and Gordo asks Mr. McGuire who that was. Mr. McGuire replies, "He's like a brother to me..." David Carradine is the real life half-brother of 'Robert Carradine (I)', who plays Mr. McGuire.

Goofs:

Continuity: On the episode with Mr. Keith, his name is written on blackboard during his first lessons, in each shot, it switches between being underlined and being normal

Quotes:

Miranda: [Interrupting Lizzie] You weren't thinking about putting Ethan and Larry in the same sentence?
Gordo: You just did.

Cute and Innocent

This show is cute and innocent. It deals with simple problems that everyday middle schoolers go through. It is usually easy to follow and fun. Lizzie and her friends deal with not complicated, harsh issues but ones that teens still face such as boyfriends, peer troubles, a first job, "my crazy family", stuff like that. I also like it because it's appropriate for anyone while still appealing (at least a little, admit it, it IS addicting!!!) to the older genre. Also, Hilary Duff does a good job playing her part as Lizzie, and her T.V. family seems so real to me, like they really seem like they work together as a "real" family. This is a cute show that any age can and will enjoy.
