L0, Video Games:
* Each entry in the ''VideoGame/EscapeVelocity'' series takes place in a completely different continuity from the others.  ''EV Classic'' and ''EV Nova'' are tangentially connected because a NegativeSpaceWedgie kicked two Atinoda Kestrels from the ''Classic'' universe into ''Nova'', but it's more of an EasterEgg than anything else and doesn't affect the plot.

L4, TV:
* ''Series/StargateSG1'' and ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' follow this model.  Each show has multi-season {{Myth Arc}}s but the individual episodes are pretty self-contained, and they usually have a PreviouslyOn segment in the continuity-heavy episodes.

L5, TV:
* ''Series/StargateUniverse'' was heavily arc-based, which had the misfortune to occur at the same time Syfy changed its scheduling strategy to where it would air part of a season, then replace it with another show, then bring the first show back, and so on.  The ''SGU'' showrunners partly blame the series' cancellation on the resulting confusion driving away viewers.
