{{alliterator}}: This is a waaaay subjective trope. For one thing, I removed:
-->* The {{X-Files}} is largely a knockoff of Kolchak: The Night Stalker (the 1970's version).
Because no, no it isn't. Kolchak was a newspaper reporter that investigates the supernatural, a believer surrounded by skeptics. ''TheXFiles'' had Mulder and Scully as FBI agents investigating an alien conspiracy and various one-off MOTWs. Certainly it was influenced by ''Kolchak'' but it was not a knockoff by any definition (knockoff also implies "inferior to the original").

RTaco: A lot of these examples seem to be negative, so shouldn't they be over on the FollowTheLeader page instead?

DragonQuestZ: That's assuming FollowTheLeader is this but bad. And if some are negative, they need to be corrected to have a proper tone.
