History AlliterativeName / LiveACtionTV

* The Swedish advent calendar ''{{Superhjaltejul}}'' had quite a few. Supersnällasilversara, Järn-Jerry (though slightly justified as these are both the names of superheroes, and superheroes tend to have these quite a lot), Frigolit Fragile, the Tinnitus Triplets, Flemming Flink...

* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'' has this apparently be a form of AuthorAppeal for Detective Peralta. When making up characters for he and his Captain to play, he names them Bret Barley and Gerald Jimes (he even says Jimes' fake dead wife is called Jane Jimes).

* [[AdaptationNameChange Laurel Lance]] from ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' both is and isn't as she is known by her middle name rather than her first given name Dinah.

* Tons of secondary characters on ''Series/SeventhHeaven'', including Cecilia Smith, Jordan Johanson, and Peter and Paris Petrowski.
* ''Series/TheMiddleMan'', in homage to it's [[TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]]-comic roots, has a fair amount of this: Wendy Watson, Guy Goddard, and Tommy Tam come to mind in addition to the [=MiddleMan=] himself.

* Sue Sylvester [[note]]which, considering her parents are Nazi hunters, is a bit of FridgeBrilliance in itself considering her initials are "SS"[[/note]] and Artie Abrams from ''Series/{{Glee}}'', as well as Holly Holiday, Sebastian Smythe and Azimio Adams (and Quinn's mentioned sister Frannie Fabray). And Jesse St. James, if you omit the "St." in his name. .

* ''Series/{{Switch}}'' parodied the ''ZDF'' News' most senior broadcaster duo, who are called '''C'''laus '''K'''leber and '''G'''undula '''G'''ause, just as many other Germans did. Needless to say, their interaction in the parody is equally rhyme-ridden.

* ''Series/{{Mash}}'': Two recurring background characters.

* ''Series/{{Renegade}}'' loves this: we have [[TheHero Reno Raines]] framed for the murder of [[DirtyCop Bernard "Buzzy" Burrell]] being pursued by [[BigBad Donald "Dutch" Dickson]]. The main cast also includes Lorenzo Lamas and Kathleen Kinmont so the series can at least claim some TruthInTelevision points for that (but not for much else).
