There is no mother figure in Hannah Montana which subverts stereotypes of a traditional "nuclear family".
In contrast, Everybody Hates Chris challenges the stereotypes of a black family structure. Though the mother and father sometimes fight, the father still lives with the family which subverts black stereotypes. The mother is also a dominant character in the family rather than being subordinated again subverting stereotypes.
These alternative representations aim to reflect modern society realistically: not every family is a traditional one.
