** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS2E59AHundredYardsOverTheRim A Hundred Yards over the Rim]]", Chris Horn's eight-year-old son Christian is dying of pneumonia in 1847. When he is sent forward in time to September 1961, Chris finds an encyclopedia which states that Dr. Christian Horn, Jr. was a pioneer in vaccine research for childhood diseases in UsefulNotes/{{California}} who died in 1914.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'' surprisingly features an example. While [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane there is at least theoretically a non-time travel explanation]] for the killer's actions, it makes much less sense than this one. At the end of the episode, Beckett spills her coffee on a letter that was a piece of evidence in the case, which perfectly matches the picture of the letter that the killer was using. The killer's actions also make more sense if he is creating a time loop, as he is otherwise operating according to a shared delusion by taking actions in the wrong order.

* ''Series/TheFlash2014'' reveals near the end of Season 3 that [[BigBad Savitar]] is at the center of one of these: [[spoiler: in an attempt to defeat Savitar, Future Barry created a series of time remnants, all but one of which were killed. That last one [[CloningBlues was rejected by Barry and the others]], which caused it to eventually go insane from emotional pain. Deciding that the only way to avoid this was to [[AGodAmI become a god]], the remnant went back in time, becoming Savitar in the first place]].

Kirk and Spock inform him that their historical records for the date describe a [[SecretHistory "never generally revealed"]] detonation of a nuclear platform at exactly the same altitude as the one Seven just destroyed after Kirk decided at the last minute to trust him, indicating that their actions were part of the timeline all along.

* In the first episode of season eight of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', Mike and the bots discover that Earth has been conquered by apes over several centuries. They later learn that Mike Nelson's descendants began inter-species relationships with monkeys and apes, giving rise to ape-people and a gradual conquest. Then in the fourth episode, the Earth is destroyed by a nuclear bomb, but Professor Peanut survived due to the explosion sending him back in time. He wound up in Wisconsin in 2112 and married a Nelson woman, setting off the Nelson family ape fetish that would result in the ape conquest and planetary destruction.
