is this basically the trope for Dharma and Greg?

However, both sets of parents obviously are conservative. We can judge that his parents must have been, and we can see that her mother certainly is. "Dharma & Greg" was so different because she started out being like her hippie parents, totally influenced by their lifestyle.

The only resemblance is the free spirit/lawyer combination. She has been like this her whole life, according to her very strait-laced mother.

Now, if he was an Alex Keaton, sprung from hippie parentage, it might be like a reversal.

Making sure our fantasies
Do not overpower our realities. ~ RC

It certainly suggested to me that D & G may have liberally borrowed some ideas from this film. Corrie really does appear to have a lot in common with Dharma.🐭
