A TV Show In Which Practically Every Episode Is Exactly the Same

1. Scooby Doo, Where Are You? (The gang proves that a terrifying monster is just a con artist in a rubber suit)
2. Gilligan’s Island (their plan to be rescued is thwarted by Gilligan’s awkwardness)
3. House (The patient is misdiagnosed a few times, then House figures it out.)
4. The Dukes of Hazzard (Boss Hogg or someone visiting Hazzard has a scheme and the Dukes figure it out and stop them. They jump stuff in cars, Roscoe crashes, maybe they use the bow and arrows, Daisy Duke wears Daisy Dukes…)
5. ALF (the Tanner family tries to hide the fact that they are keeping a space alien in their house)
