* Parodied on the ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "200," in which the team [[ImagineSpot fantasize]] about a "[[YoungerAndHipper younger, edgier]]" team replacing them after Martin Wood says some executives are considering going this route for the [[ShowWithinAShow Wormhole X-Treme]] route. While there's ''some'' action, the focus seems mostly to be on using a typical ''Stargate'' plot as a backdrop for the Mitchell-analogue and the Carter-analogue making out, the Daniel-analogue {{wangst}}ing about Mitchell not liking them, and the Vala-analogue randomly announcing her pregnancy. Ironically ''Series/StargateUniverse'' turned out to be a completely straight example of the trope.

%%%* Creator/MarvWolfman's work on ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'', especially in the 80s.


Added DiffLines:

* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': Having been considered DC's answer to ''X-Men'' since the 1980s, the Titans comics have placed a heavy emphasis on soap opera storytelling, with the characters' familial or romantic relationships often taking as much, if not more precedence over fighting villains. This was present to some degree in the 60s and 70s but really became cemented during the Marv Wolfman run in the 80s and has been prominent ever since.

%%%* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'': Peter Parker was the original poster-boy of this, apt considering he's probably the tropemaker.
* The ''Franchise/XMen'' are perhaps the most dramatic case of this in comics, with the X-Men and their related characters carrying on absurdly complex and thoroughly incestuous relationships (usually figuratively, sometimes borderline literally) with one another, some platonic, some romantic, and some somewhere in-between. If you come up with two random X-Men, odds are good that they shared a bed or a relative - and if they didn't, one probably shared a bed with the other's relative.

* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' focusses on the interaction between each cyborg girl and TheHandler they've been assigned, not the anti-terrorist missions that are their reason for being.

* ''ComicBook/SheHulk2022'' is all about this, as Jennifer has quit the Avengers and superheroing in general after a TraumaCongaLine of events that have left her feeling burned out. The book focuses on her attempts to go back into practicing law and having a civilian life hanging out with her gal friends and doing ordinary activities like watching movies on the couch and getting together to eat cake.



* Techincally, this is part game mechanic for ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' as the player goes through an EasternRPG with DatingSim elements. It's become a CashCowFranchise and brought Atlus into the mainstream English videogame market.
