* [[Music/TheTime Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis]] (US) / Music/StockAitkenWaterman (UK): Massively popular 1980s pop producers whose signature sounds merged dance-pop with R&B and who were so involved with their artists that they would usually write material for them. Likewise, the sounds that the two teams pioneered (Eurobeat for SAW and NewJackSwing for Jam & Lewis) would be subject to a major public backlash in the 1990s due to overexposure. The one major difference is that Jam & Lewis endured this backlash enough to remain in-demand well into the 21st century, whereas SAW collapsed as a result of it.

* Showtime's ''Series/TheBorgias'' (Canada+Ireland) / Canal+'s ''Series/{{Borgia}}'' (France+Germany): Historical dramas based on the Borgia family. Showtime's series goes all in with [[DatedHistory the rumors]] but makes you love them anyway. Canal+'s averts the gossip-based HistoricalVillainUpgrade that usually plagues depictions of the family, though in other respects, it's wildly inaccurate (regarding things like people's ages and who was where and when) and fanciful ([[spoiler: Lucrezia]] killed Juan? Cesare [[spoiler: faked his death]]? Oh, the part where he danced in a ballet in costume as a unicorn is true, though). It's most well known for its "historicity", as praised in the article that gave DeliberateValuesDissonance its page quote.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 DuckTales]]'' Generation (Hungary) / September 11 Interruption of ''Melevisione'' (Italy): A widespread "flashbulb memory" event [[BreakingNewsInterruption in which a children's program was cut for important news]] (a December 12, 1993 airing of the ''[=DuckTales=]'' episode "A Whale of a Bad Time" being interrupted for news about the death of Hungarian prime minister József Antall for the former, an airing of the episode "Tanti auguri a te" of the Rai 3 children's TV series ''Melevisione'' on September 11, 2001 being interrupted for news on the attacks in New York City that day), which confused children across the country and became a defining generational moment for the generation of kids that witnessed it (early millennials in the case of the former, early Gen-Zers for the latter).

All three broadcasts became infamous due to how real viewers thought they were, and received international attention.
