* The clan of Harfoots shown in ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'', are a WanderingCulture, preferring to keep their existence hidden from other people. They lead a nomadic and bucolic lifestyle, which [[NothingExcitingEverHappens Here Nori Brandyfoot]] finds pretty boring and would rather explore the world. They all know each other and don't like strangers at all.

* In ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', the Hill's neighborhood counts as one, and characters occasionally [[RealityEnsues incorrectly assume the same]] of the town of Arlen, Texas as a whole. Beyond the obvious closeness between Hank's closest friends and their families, Hank is mentioned to have given speeches at the weddings of background characters, and many one-off characters are generally only one or two degrees of separation removed from the central cast.

* In ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', the fictional town of Arlen, Texas (or at least the Hill's neighborhood). The opening sequence depicts protagonist Hank having his daily can of beer with his TrueCompanions (all of whom apparently live on the same street) in the alley next to the Hill residence.

* '''Literature/AbsolutelyTruly'': The small town of Pumpkin Falls is a place where everyone has history with each other.

* Stars Hollow from ''Series/GilmoreGirls''. Hilariously Lampshaded when Paris barges in, trying to write an article for Chilton's school newspaper about the "[[TownWithADarkSecret dark secret]]" of the town.

* In the small village of Sotoba from ''Manga/{{Shiki}}'' is a small rural village in the mountains where basically everyone knows everyone and all who live there try to help those around them as much as they can. Though, as with everything else about this series, it puts an incredibly dark spin on it [[spoiler:as people start to mysteriously die after a new family moved in and the once united village devolves into a massacring horde]].

* ''Series/{{Haven}}'': Haven, Maine is a TownWithADarkSecret, but it's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] multiple times in the first season that they're quiet and close-knit not because they're hiding the Troubles (which most people don't believe in, [[ArbitrarySkepticism despite evidence they exist]]), but because they're New Englanders, who are naturally distrustful of outsiders.
-->'''Nathan:''' So, why are we sneaking up on [suspect temporarily crazed by Troubles]?
-->'''Audrey:''' Because, Haven doesn't have a SWAT team. It has a dispatch lady who calls you "hon."

* Series/{{Haven}}: Haven, Maine is a TownWithADarkSecret, but it's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] multiple times in the first season that they're quiet and close-knit not because they're hiding the Troubles (which most people don't believe in, [[ArbitrarySkepticism despite evidence they exist]]), but because they're New Englanders, who are naturally distrustful of outsiders.

* ''Series/{{Andor}}'': The tight knight community of Ferrix is quickly established by showing how the workers keep their gloves on a wall outside of their workplace with no worries about them being stolen or sabotaged by members of the community. As the series progresses this is built up further, with outsiders very much being on the outside when they're there despite tensions between locals.

Conflict within the community is either swiftly resolvable (perhaps through intervention) or a long-standing rivalry without serious consequences. The GrumpyBear is generally treated with affection but not much attention.
