History Awesome / OtherShows

* HGTV's show ''Income Property'' has had a few. In one, host Scott McGillivray learns that the couple he is helping have become victims of identity theft while in the middle of renovations and have lost thousands of dollars- in fact, most of their savings. Scott gathers the crew, speaks to them, and they agree to work extra hours so that the project will be completely done, even to the extras, before the deadline, in order to save the homeowners the exact amount they lost. In another, the wife of the couple being helped mentions that her husband thought that Scott was just the pretty-boy host and didn't actually do any work. Scott blinks, laughs, walks into the bathroom where the husband is unsuccessfully trying to drain the heavy old toilet that has just been removed. Scott takes the toilet and drains it effortlessly, then carries it out to the balcony and throws it across the sidewalk into the dumpster as the husband watches gaping. For the record, Scott is not a big guy. Also doubles as [=CMoF=] since Scott and the husband bust each others chops though the entire episode without actually offending each other once, and as Scott leaves the bathroom, he's yelling "Clear the way! Pretty face coming through!"

* ''The Jackson: American Dream'' miniseries has a particular one. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyCDL2tTKGs It has a very faithful replication (though a bit shortened for televison and the actor didn't do his own singing) of Michael Jackson's famous "Billie Jean" performance]] and remains close to Jackson's own dancing. The clincher? Wylie Draper's own moonwalk. To the point where MJ's fans call it a smoother improvement of the original moonwalk. Says quite a lot

* The Creator/SkyOne documentary ''The British'' is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} and a TearJerker all at the same time, covering two thousand years of British history.

* On the January 7, 2018 episode of Creator/{{CNN}}'s ''State of the Union'', host Creator/JakeTapper finds himself trying to get in some word edgewise with one of his guests, President Donald Trump's senior policy adviser Stephen Miller, who spends his entire time attacking anyone and everyone who isn't Trump, including the host himself, while trying to paint Trump as a misunderstood genius under attack by the "Fake News" media. Tapper gets so tired of the insults and the parroting, stating, ″I think the viewers right now can ascertain who is being hysterical,” You’re being obsequious[[note]]obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree.[[/note]], you’re being a factotum[[note]]an employee who does all kinds of work.[[/note]] in order to please him and I think I have wasted enough of my viewers' time.”

* A meta example: A show on HGTV called "Flip or Flop" had two hosts named Tarek and Christina. A fan, who was a registered nurse, noticed that Tarek was coughing a lot as well as had a strange lump on his neck. So she sent an email to production requesting that they tell him to see a doctor about the lump. Turns out, [[https://www.popsugar.com/home/Flip-Flop-Viewer-Discovered-Tarek-El-Moussa-Cancer-39335043 it was stage 2 Thyroid cancer.]]

* New Zealand (and anywhere else) tropers who have seen ''Series/SevenPeriodsWithMrGormsby'' will know that the fifth episode from season 2, "Camp Tepapawai" was an entire ''episode'' of awesome. But the highlight was Hohepa sawing through the boards of Steve's part of the latrine trench so that when Steve went to the toilet, he fell into the trench, and then Gormsby made him walk to the other end of the trench so they could pull him out. Fuckin' awesome.

* Sebastian Stark had his [=CMoA=] during the first season finale of ''Series/{{Shark}}''. It was also a perfectly executed [[ThePlan plan]].

* The ''Series/WalkingWithDinosaurs'' series and its spinoffs have loads of these. "Cruel Sea" and its Liopleurodon are probably some of the best.

* Pretty much every time Robert Goren corners a suspect on ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'' qualifies.
** Whoopi Goldberg's character gets one when she emotionally manipulates Logan, making him think he's about to get a confession, then asks for a lawyer. Apparently it was just for the lulz.

* ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhGkSgL02PI The Grunge Band Of Science.]] That is all.

** From season 10: Murphy heads to the hospital for her lumpectomy]] and the gang is forced to sneak her in due to an obnoxious and greedy member of the paparazzi taking interest in the whole situation. They are successful in getting her in, but the paparazzo isn't fooled by the sneaking part and ends up getting the pictures he came for anyway. He taunts Frank with this information while he unwraps a muffin. Before he can get it anywhere near his mouth, Frank asks if he can see the muffin. "Why?" the paparazzo asks. "I don't want to get blood on it," Frank responds, and rams his fist into guy's jaw. He goes down, hard, and Frank picks up his camera, rips it open and yanks the film out without saying another word. ''Wow.'']]

* It's not often you see a villain get one of these where you can actually cheer them on in doing so, but thanks to the nature of the plot (a DragonWithAnAgenda who betrays the BigBad and starts an EnemyCivilWar), ''Series/TheTenthKingdom'' gets to have one of these for the [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bitch]] the Evil Queen. After her BatmanGambit to bring down the Troll King, ah, [[IncrediblyLamePun bears fruit]], we get this exchange at the Merrypips Apple Orchard, worth quoting in its entirety:
--> '''Troll King''': [[ComeAlone I am alone and unarmed]].
--> '''Evil Queen''': [[TruthAndLies As am I]].
--> '''Troll King''': Where are my children?
--> '''Evil Queen''': To be quite honest, I have no idea. [[IHaveYourWife I simply used them as an excuse to get you to meet me]].
--> '''Troll King''': Then I will kill you.
--> '''Evil Queen''': Don't you wish to hear my great plan first?
--> '''Troll King''': I have known of your plan all along--[[TheManBehindTheMan to put the imposter prince on the throne, and rule the Fourth Kingdom yourself]].
--> '''Evil Queen''': Do you think I spent [[SealedEvilInACan seven years rotting in jail]] to rule only ''one'' of the Nine Kingdoms? I intend to have them ''all''.
--> '''Troll King''': But...where do I fit in?
--> '''Evil Queen''': [[DoubleSpeak Yes...I see what you mean]].
--> '''Troll King''': I have heard enough. [[LargeHam Trolls...arise]]! ''(guards appear from among the apple trees, surrounding her)'' [[SmugSnake You didn't expect that, did you]]? My men have been hiding here for the last hour.
--> '''Evil Queen''': [[SarcasmMode I am impressed at your foresight]]. And had you arrived ''two'' hours earlier, you would have found me...''poisoning the apples!'' ''(watches Relish and his men collapse, writhing in agony)'' [[EvilGloating Poison is something of a science with me, and I seem to have timed it just right. You know what they say, Relish: an army marches on its stomach]]!
::''gives a bow'' Your Majesty, ''I read your book!''

* ''Series/BrassEye'''s paedophilia special was pretty much Chris Morris' SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

* If there's one person on ''Series/QuincyME'' you'd never expect to have a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, it's Quincy's superior Dr. Robert "StatusQuoIsGod" Asten. And yet in the episode "Hot Ice," our hero - following a successful undercover job in Las Vegas (long story) - has been stabbed with a poisoned umbrella and is on the verge of death. Having ID'd the man responsible, Asten and Brill go to confront him, he tries to escape... and Asten promptly ''judo flips the guy and gets him in a headlock'' before assuring him if he doesn't tell them what poison he used (without which they can't find the antidote) he'll regret it. Needless to say, it works.

* ''Series/LoisAndClark'' has the first season finale, for the Daily Planet crew. All year long, MagnificentBastard Lex Luthor has been getting away with murder, literally and figuratively. At the end of every nefarious plot, Lex is still untouchable, and Superman winds up outside Lex’s window delivering an “I’ll get you someday” speech that Lex is totally unimpressed with (it’s ''not''the only Superman continuity to have these.) However, after he [[ThisMeansWar makes the Daily Planet go boom]], Lois, Clark, Perry, Jimmy, and Cat put their investigative skills together, finding proof of Lex’s evil deeds, this and others. Clark’s only contribution as suited {{Superman}} was... getting put in a Kryptonite cage in two minutes flat. ''The Planet crew did what Supes and all his power couldn’t and took Lex down.''

* In ''Series/BeakmansWorld'' when the title character confronts the frightening environmental problem, ozone layer depletion, head on with understanding and balance while still explaining how serious it is with the empowering address to scared viewers, "Let's turn that fear into knowledge!"
