Talk:Life with Derek

message: The series synopsis seems a little bit...I dunno...off subject.  The main focus of the series is Casey - it's always been that way and I've watched every single aired episode.  It seems odd that since Casey is the series' main focus, that the synopsis would center around Derek.  I feel this should be rewritten to be more in line about what they series is actually about.

replies: text: *I disagree. The show focuses on both Derek and Casey, and simply uses Casey more often in order to move the plot along. The show relies on both characters and since Casey's 'problems' revolve predominantly around Derek, it is clearly relevant to discuss Derek in the synopsis. If you believe that you can add information on Casey while respecting Derek's importance to the show, go ahead. -- Chabuk 05:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

text: *The show is called 'Life WITH Derek', not 'Derek's Life'. That itself is enough to imply that the show is about Casey dealing with Derek and how she feels he screws everything up for her (i.e. Casey's 'problems' with Derek) -- and not the other way around (i.e. Derek's problems with Casey; which would be called, 'Life with Casey'). In addition, Casey is also the only narrator and only one to speak directly to the camera. The show's primary focus is clearly on Casey, and how she copes with 'Life With Derek'. The Synopsis should be written from, and only from, Casey's POV. vmz 16:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

text: *I agree with the people who think the show centers around Casey.  I overhauled the entire synopsis and tried to make it encompass the entirety of the show.  What do you all think?  (I was 67.41.225.226 ) Wayc 02:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The show must not take place in the United States because in "The Guest", Casey pays off Derek with non-American money, in "The Poxfather", Derek's money tin is full of multi-colored money and in "All Systems No Go," George calls himself "George of London."
Isn't the show be supposed to take place in Toronto, or at least Canada? Or am I wrong? 72.141.21.47 23:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: In the first episode of Life With Derek,Paul says his name is Paul GREEBY,but Casey misheard him and thought it weas Paul Creepy,so he told her to just call him Paul. So,I'm not a member of this website,so I'm asking anyone if they can edit this article,re-name the "Paul Creepy" article,and redict "Paul Creepy" to "Paul Greeby" Thanks.

message: About this entry in the trivia section:
:"*Many people are 'Dasey' shippers, thinking that- despite the fact that they are stepsiblings- Casey and Derek would make a good couple. Same with 'Lizwin' (Lizzie and Edwin) shippers."
My opinion about this kind of thing is summed up in three words: Ignore the fanboys/fangirls.  WAVY 10 17:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: * Some confusion centers around the spelling of Nora, Casey and Lizzie's last name. It is in fact "McDonald" and not "MacDonald" as confirmed in the episodes "two timing Derek" and "Grade A  Cheater." please update this in all articles.
* But it is listed as "MacDonald" in the show credits. thinkpad 13:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Since it's common with a number of television shows, I'd like to propose merging all the character pages for Life with Derek into one compiliation page.
Many of the character articles repeat information and can be trimmed down and rewritten.  Some are also very short and do not have sufficient standing as their own page and may be deleted in the future.  Rather than allowing the page to be deleted, it would benefit being on a compiliation page.  Also, there is a lack of consistency with the naming of the MacDonald/McDonald family pages, where Lizzie's page is currently Lizzie McDonald and Casey's page is Casey MacDonald.  The debate of how the name is spelled would be easier to manage if they were both on one page.  Furthermore, a compiliation page would make  allowances for minor characters, like Trevor.
