History MustHaveCaffeine / LiveActionTV

* ''TwinPeaks'': Agent Cooper enjoys a damn good cup of coffee. What's funny is that his actor ''hates'' coffee (and cherry pie).
* One memorable skit on ''TheState'' involves a family of caffeine addicts who drink ludicrous amounts of coffee, own about twenty percolators spread out through their kitchen and living room, pack their lunchboxes entirely with Thermoses of coffee, talk at the top of their lungs constantly, and find the word "sleep" hysterically funny. At the end of the sketch, their crazy MadScientist uncle enters from the garage and triumphantly declares that he's just invented the most highly concentrated form of caffeine known to man; the family patriarch drinks it, calmly pronounces it good, walks out of the house, and ''explodes''.

* Ivanova in ''Series/BabylonFive'' is a caffeine addict, as she illicitly grows coffee plants in the station's hydroponics facility. Those plants were originally Laurel Takishima's, but she left, and Ivanova apparently found them. She gives in to Garibaldi purely because he threatens to destroy the coffee plants, describing him as a "vicious man".

* Nicholas Rush from ''Series/StargateUniverse'' is similar, which is a problem since ''Destiny'' has no coffee. Combined with nicotine withdrawal and a severe lack of sleep, the man literally collapsed after a rant.

* A running gag on ''TheKidsInTheHall'' has Dave Foley appearing with a cup of coffee virtually anytime he played himself in a sketch. Also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzBVhHoMQ18 a sketch]] about the perils of switching to decaf.

* In the ''NoahsArc'' movie, this is Alex's main issue (except the caffeine is pill form, not coffee).

** Karen is an interesting case. She does love caffiene like everyone in Dog River, but one episode showed she prefers cola in the morning. Still drinks a hell of a lot of coffee though.

* Penny from the ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''. In one notable instance she came over to the guys' apartment, declared "out of coffe, need coffee" and poured herself a cup like it was nothing, pissing off Leonard's new girlfriend who was unaware of her DropInCharacter status in the process.

* Greg Sanders on ''{{CSI}}'' likes Blue Hawaiian coffee in particular. He has a personal stash and is [[BerserkButton protective of it]].

-->'''Lorelei:''' Only with my oxygen.

* Averted to a degree on ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Buffy and Willow are fond of mochas, although in this case it's less about the caffeine and more about the sugar.

* StephenColbert's preferred drink is the five-shot Venti Caramel Mocha Latte. When Starbucks was temporarily closed for training, he reverted to a rabid, snarling beast, and had to be chained up. And later, when he finally gets his hands on some... three words: naked coffee shower.

** Captain Janeway in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' has got to be addicted to caffeine, what with all the coffee she drinks. Her ''Memory Alpha'' entry has an [[http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Kathryn_Janeway?cb=4488#Coffee entire section]] devoted to Janeway and Coffee. One early episode has ''Voyager'' running low on energy, preventing the crew from using the replicators -- and thereby forcing Janeway to abstain from coffee. Janeway decides to try to extract energy from a nebula, despite the concerns of her officers that it might be dangerous. Her reason? "There is ''coffee'' in that nebula!" So yeah, she's got an addiction, all right.

* Everyone in Corner Gas, but Brent and Davis especially

** ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' takes it UpToEleven with ''[[http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Raktajino Raktajino]]'' -- '''[[ProudWarriorRace Klingon]] Coffee!''' Many "morning rituals" revolved around the drink: such as Odo's security reports to Kira. The most noted raktajino drinker is Captain Benjamin Sisko, with the drink as much a part of his morning ritual as earth coffee is to many in real life. He even shows similar symptoms when he hasn't yet had his morning cup and later in the series decides to cut down on the raktajino. On one occasion when he decides to order Tarkalean tea at breakfast instead of raktajino (because of some machine screwing with probability on the station, apparently), Kira shows [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness surprise bordering on concern]]. How the trade in Klingon Coffee is related to the thaw in relations between the Federation and the Klingon Empire is something that's sadly never been explored.

* Stan the Coffee Man from ''[[Series/MADtv MADtv]]''. He drinks coffee so much that he keeps a thermos flask on him, in case something happens to his coffee cup. Though most of the sketches has him trying to kick the habit. It doesn't take long for him to fall of the wagon though. Scientists studying Stan found that he actually ''pees coffee.'' And apparently [[OrSoIHeard it's delicious.]]

* Seattle's famed coffee addiction was prime fodder for several ''AlmostLive!'' sketches. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Ho_PBuEYg This section of their "Guide to Living in Seattle" is almost exclusively dedicated to the city's coffee obsession]].

* Greg Sanders on ''{{CSI}}'' likes Blue Hawaiian coffee in particular. He has a personal stash and is [[BeserkButton protective of it]].

* On one episode of ''Series/PersonOfInterest'', when Reese can't get into the workplace of the week's [=PoI=], Finch gets intelligence on what they're doing by fitting a new coffee machine with a wireless camera and slipping it into their morning mail. It's set up within minutes of the workers realizing it's there.
