"Suddenly Susan" centers around Susan’s career and personal life without overtly prioritizing diversity boxes over genuine character development. The show focused mostly on relatable, quirky workplace and relational hijinks typical of 90s sitcoms. Casting and character arcs didn’t appear designed primarily for identity signaling but for narrative fit and comedy.

Traditional values like friendship, work, and romantic relationships are at the core. Masculinity and femininity are playful but not systematically mocked or subverted. While the focus is on single urban life, there isn’t a routine undermining of religion, family, or classic cultural foundations.

The show generally assumes a progressive-urban worldview given its San Francisco setting, but avoids heavy-handed moralizing or mocking alternative perspectives. Traditional or non-urban characters aren’t systematically villainized or ridiculed. There’s a light touch with ideology, focusing more on humor and situational antics than preaching.
