* ''Series/TheGirlFromPlainville'': The show uses fantasy sequences to show Michelle and Conrad's emotional relationship because, in real life, they interacted almost exclusively over text messages. Some sequences are mostly grounded in reality (talking while walking down a street or standing on a pier), some blend reality and fantasy, and some are just out-and-out fantasy on Michelle's part (singing a duet as Series/{{Glee}}'s Rachel and Finn).
