History MustHaveCaffeine / LiveActionTV

* ''Series/{{Castle}}''

*** PlayedForLaughs in one episode in which Gibbs has to abstain from coffee for an upcoming physical. Unfortunately, two of his ex-wives choose that day to drop by, leaving him unbelievably stressed and desperate for caffeine. When ex-wife #2's fiancé shows up with a cup of coffee during an interrogation, Gibbs finally breaks and downs the man's coffee in one gulp.

* ''Series/MythBusters'': During the first "Alaska Special", when Jamie and Adam were testing "CabinFever", Jamie claimed he was napping so much because there wasn't any coffee in the cabins. [[http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/mythbusters-raw-jamie-hancock.html(About the 2:23 point on this video.)]]

** Castle frequently arrives at the precinct with two cups of coffee, one for himself and one for Beckett, as a matter of course. In "After the Storm", Beckett brings him coffee the morning after TheyDo.

* Stan the Coffee Man from ''Series/{{MADtv}}''. He drinks coffee so much that he keeps a thermos flask on him, in case something happens to his coffee cup. Though most of the sketches has him trying to kick the habit. It doesn't take long for him to fall off the wagon though. Scientists studying Stan found that he actually ''pees coffee.'' And apparently [[OrSoIHeard it's delicious.]]

*** Neelix eventually went mad with power as the cook (really) and tried to control the coffee supply by forcing his own [[LethalChef interesting]] alternatives on the crew, or cutting the half-Klingon chief engineer off during an all-nighter. His attempt to pull this on the captain gave us a page quote. Right after that, he tries to ask a question, which the Captain interrupts with "Coffee first." Janeway ''never'' interrupts her crew. But it's just that important. Another episode has Neelix get annoyed at being Janeway's coffee boy during one of her all-nighters and offer to set up a caffeine IV drip.
*** Janeway once even admitted that her caffeine addiction is the only thing that keeps her at all functional;

*** Even the ''[[HardLight holographic]]'' version of her from ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekProdigy'' carries a coffee mug around.

-->'''Jack''': ''[quickly, constantly sipping iced coffee]'' Hey, friends, lovers, mothers, and other strangers. You are never going to believe what's happened to me... Oh, my God, did you just see that? I almost did a half nelson, I almost bruised my delicates, my delicates, my domo arigoto Mr tomAHtoes. ''[finishes coffee, pulls fresh one from a bag]'' Huge News!

You know, that coffee shop on 72nd and his name is Paul. He is cute with a capital Q! And the busier it gets, the hotter he gets, and the hotter he gets, the sweatier he gets, and the sweatier he gets...I forgot where I'm goin' with this, but the point is...''[drinks coffee]''...me likey he and he likey me. And the best part is--shazam!--he gives me free iced coffee every time I go in, which is every hour on the hour. Thank you very much! And occasionally on the half hour! Ba ba ba ba ba!

* ''Series/WillAndGrace'': Jack after he hooks up with Paul, who works at Jumpin' Java.

** ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' takes it UpToEleven with ''[[http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Raktajino Raktajino]]'' -- '''[[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Klingon]] Coffee!''' Many "morning rituals" revolved around the drink: such as Odo's security reports to Kira. The most noted raktajino drinker is Captain Benjamin Sisko, with the drink as much a part of his morning ritual as earth coffee is to many in real life. He even shows similar symptoms when he hasn't yet had his morning cup and later in the series decides to cut down on the raktajino. On one occasion when he decides to order Tarkalean tea at breakfast instead of raktajino (because of some machine screwing with probability on the station, apparently), Kira shows [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness surprise bordering on concern]]. How the trade in Klingon Coffee is related to the thaw in relations between the Federation and the Klingon Empire is something that's sadly never been explored.

* On ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', Dr Mohinder Suresh, who frequently stays up all night doing his scientific research (or stays up most of the night and is found [[AnOddPlaceToSleep sleeping at his desk]] in the morning), relies on tea (specifically chai) to do so:
-->'''"Zane Taylor":''' You have no idea how alone I used to feel; how insignificant. You've given me hope.\\
'''Mohinder:''' Hope is great. We need caffeine.

--->'''Trip:''' [[SpotofTea No tea?]]

*** Her ''Memory Alpha'' entry has an [[http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Kathryn_Janeway?cb=4488#Coffee entire section]] devoted to Janeway and Coffee. One early episode has ''Voyager'' running low on fuel, preventing the crew from using the replicators -- and thereby forcing Janeway to abstain from coffee. Janeway decides to try to extract energy from a nebula, despite the concerns of her officers that it might be dangerous. Her reason? "There is ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhyaBVmzWT8 coffee]]'' in that nebula!" She may have a problem...

** O'Brien likes his Jamaican Blend, double strong, double sweet. Keiko notices that camera footage depicting the death of her husband Miles O'Brien must be fake because the timestamp shows him drinking coffee ''much later'' than usual and would interfere with his sleep. [[spoiler:When he's reunited with her later and he asks for coffee, she's shocked and says he never drinks coffee in the afternoon, only for him to respond he ''always'' drinks coffee in the afternoon.]]
