History OncePerEpisode / LiveActionTV

* ''Series/{{Tracker}}'' had the typical end-of-episode life force collection as Cole defeated another fugitive.

* The [[ThisPageWillSelfDestruct message self-destructing]] after being played at the start of every mission on ''Series/MissionImpossible.''

** Nearly every episode of Monk features a character (not always Monk) saying the words "I don't think so." This is a prominent line in the theme song and it's so common that it can't just be a coincidence. Once you notice it, you'll notice it in every episode.

* Ronnie Barker's now-lost series ''His Lordship Entertains'': A physical comedy sequence would take place [[VideoInsideFilmOutside outside on film]] with no dialogue.

%% If the redlink to RedHerrings was intentional, please feel free to put it back.
* On ''Series/{{CSI}}'' the original, DB will mention his wife. And he'll either call her or she'll call him.
* ''Series/CSIMiami'': Horatio Crane puts on his CoolShades, does the QuipToBlack and bam, we get the MetalScream by Music/TheWho.
* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'':
** Danny will say "Boom!" and/or Adam will say "What up!"
** Det. Flack and/or Danny will chase a suspect on foot.
** Mac will make a military reference, and/or a US flag will be shown in addition to the one in his office.

* ‘’Diver Dan’’ combines this with TheExactWords. Trigger calls Baron Barracuda “Boss”, eliciting an angry “I told you to call me ‘Baron’, (epithet)!” “Okay, Baron (Epithet).”

* ''Series/HorribleHistories'' has an EducationalSong every episode.

* ''[[Series/KenanAndKel Kenan & Kel]]''

* ''Series/RamsaysKitchenNightmares'':
** Gordon [[ShirtlessScene changes his shirt on screen.]]
** Gordon cusses his bleedin' head off.
** Gordon changes his shirt and cusses his bleedin' head off.
** [[OverlyLongGag Gorden cusses his bleedin head off, changes his shirt and cusses his bleedin' head off.]]

** "Everything is made up and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are like notability on Wiki/TVTropes."

* ''Twice'' per episode of ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977'', David Banner would transform into the, er, ComicBook/IncredibleHulk. It always happened about twenty minutes in, and then again right near the end of the episode.

* ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'': The Pups all gather for an emergency at the bottom of the elevator, and have a clumsy moment usually caused by Marshall. They go up the elevator together, which halfway up takes about 1.2 seconds to change them all into their suits and rearrange them into the same order left-right as every other time. At the top, they all jump out of elevator, where Rydner explains the problem of the week and picks 2 particular Pups to work on it. Those 2 then go down the slide and land in their vehicle, where we hear their names shouted as the vehicle transforms.

* In the BritCom ''Chance In A Million'' the [[ContrivedCoincidence coincidence-prone]] title character Tom Chance (Simon Callow) drinks an entire pint of lager in one go, usually in mid-sentence. Sometimes this happens more than once per episode, on at least one occasion twice in rapid succession, and once together with a guest cast member. (Actually they used trick glasses holding much less than a full pint).

--->'''Jerry:''' This is just like that one episode of ''Series/{{The Twilight Zone|1959}}'' where a guy wakes up and he's the same, and everyone else is different.
