* ''Series/FantasyIsland'' once revealed that Mr. Roarke and Tattoo had their own evil (non-identical) twins, who wore black suits with white ties, and had British Accents. Perhaps ironically, the 1998 reboot of ''Fantasy Island'' starred British actor Malcolm [=McDowell=], complete with a black suit, as Mr. Roarke. In a separate episode of the original series called "Look Alikes", a guest (Ken Berry) wishes to meet and exchange places with his (non related) twin (Ken Berry) who he has never met, and who of course turns out to be wanted by some bad guys.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': [[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E21MirrorImage "Mirror Image"]] has the protagonists haunted by apparent malevolent doubles. Somewhat averted, as the seeming evil doubles do little more than watch their counterparts, sometimes smiling darkly.

* Played with in ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003''. Boomer and Athena are a pair of Sharons/Eights who are set up as ForWantOfANail equivalents. Initially, Boomer seems to be more moral and Athena inclines towards the Dark Side, but both sway in both directions in the course of the series. By the end, Boomer has spent more time doing bad things (some of them very bad) while Athena is the nobler twin.

* [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in ''Series/{{Castle}}''. The murder victim (Zalman) had a twin brother (Edmund), who [[IdenticalTwinIDTag wore eyeglasses]] and turned up mysteriously while Castle and Beckett were searching the victim's secret magic workshop. Castle immediately [[LampShadeHanging lampshades]] this trope and speculates that ''Edmund'' was the victim and Zalman murdered him to assume his happy family life and prosperous, stable job as an accountant, while inheriting his own magic shop plus insurance money. Played straight; Lanie double checks the fingerprints and immediately rules Castle's theory out. While the twins were very different, ''both'' were good guys who lacked stage presence.
