And, as God is my witness, Scarlett goes hungry?
Magnum PI: (Any bad guy) “There’s that Ferrari again”
Brady Bunch: Greg and Marsha decide to share the Attic…while Peter moves into Jan and Cindy’s room and Cindy moves in with Bobby.
Happy Days: Richie goes up to Fonzie’s apartment to find Marian in bed with Fonzie and Howard watching and taking pictures
Seinfeld: (Jerry’s inner dialog) “Maybe I should drop this stupid point of view instead of beating it like a dead horse”
These are shows I grew up with, I’m afraid.
The Happy Days Halloween Special where Chuck returns…
That could be awesome. Imagine showing the crew bumble into another issue with a new Delta quadrant threat, reacting poorly to it because of “Prime Directive” or whatever, and the ship ends up as a giant fireball crashing into a moon. Cut to Q sighing and snapping his fingers and the Voyager and crew instantly snap back and warp to the next messy encounter.
Everybody Loves Raymond: Everyone agrees that the only thing Marie is good for is her cooking. So she’s confined for life in the kitchen, wearing an actual ball and chain. And a muzzle.
After Chuck told Howard and Marion that he was gay, they killed him (so they thought) and buried him in the woods- only for him to regain consciousness and claw his way out of his shallow grave. Now at last he’s ready for vengeance!
The episode of I Dream of Jeanie where Barbara Eden’s navel is exposed.
The Andy Griffith Show: *One Hour Series Finale:
*
Andy consoles Opie after he accidentally blinds his pet rabbit’s right eye with a BB
gun.
Down at the jailhouse, Barney gets castrated while tea-bagging Otis, who suddenly develops lock-jaw after stepping on a rusty nail and passing out drunk in his cell.
“I tell ya Ange, Otis’s teeth are like a threshing machine!”
“How come your voice is so high-pitched, Barn?”
Across town, Thelma Lou and Helen Crump re-create 2 girls; one cup…of sugar…and shit.
Aunt Bea, upon learning Clara won the Blue Ribbon at the Mayberry County Fair Pickle Contest, pulled her nemesis’s bloomers down and shoved a giant gherkin up her ass.
Back at the “fillin’ station”, Goober fills Gomer with an exceptionally voluminous cream pie. “ Go-o-lly…Shazam!”
At the barber shop; fed up with Howard Sprague’s incessant pedantry, Floyd does the sign of the cross on his chest, then slits Sprague’s throat with a straight razor and gives him a Mexican Necktie.
Andy grows suspicious after Opie blinds his pet rabbit’s left eye with a BB gun, and starts wearing rabbit foot bling around his neck.
Ernest T. Bass suicide bombs the Mayberry Starbucks, killing everyone in town…except, miraculously, Opie, who will re-appear a few years later, in **Happy Days. **
Patty Duke Show: We find out how you get “identical cousins”. Apparently Patty and Cathy were produced in top secret Allied cloning experiments during World War II. When a British newspaper man threatens to blow it wide open, he’s hushed up by giving his childless marriage Cathy–and Patty gets sent to his identical brother living in Brooklyn Heights.
Bewitched: Tired of Sam’s hectoring, Darren begins an affair with Gladys Kravitz. A humiliated Sam casts a spell that not only banishes them from town, but causes everybody in their neighborhood to forget they ever existed.
I was going to mention the “adult” episode of Petticoat Junction, but I fear I’d be thrown off the Board if i mention the details…
Oh come on, we already know the ‘non-60’s’ explanation for that show.
Three beautiful young women with no visible means of support living in a ‘boarding house’ run by an older woman and creepy ‘Uncle Joe’? At a stop on a railroad with no other businesses in sight?
What did you think was going on? :dubious:
I mean, the damned place is NAMED “Petticoat Junction”. They couldn’t get more obvious in the 60’s.
Endora goes too far and inadvertently kills Darren. She’s actually somewhat remorseful (& desperate to preserve her relationship with Sam), but no amount of witchcraft can actually bring him back to life. So she does the next best thing and replaces a random mortal’s memories with Darren’s, then casts a spell so everyone’s memories of what he looked like are changed.
Alternatively there’s a distant finale set decades after the rest of the series. Darren’s died of old age and an elderly Samantha is bidding goodbye to the last of the mourner’s after the funeral’s over. Cue Endora popping in. Sam twitches her nose and instantly reverts to looking exactly like she did in the pilot. She turns to her mother an says “Happy now? I’ll never understand why you kept going on and on like I was wasting my life”. Endora just deadpans “Well now that you have that out of you system want to go to the North Star?” and same just says “Sure”.
Bonanza: After Ben Cartwright dies, the boys sell the Ponderosa. When the new owners dig up the South 40, they discover the skeletons of every woman who ever dated the Cartwrights and one male skeleton, thought to be the long missing Adam Cartwright. Ben Cartwright does down in history as America’s first serial killer.
True Story – They wanted to do an “unveiling” of Barbara Eden’s navel on an episode of Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In, but NBC nixed it
Gene Roddenberry was similarly annoyed by NBC’s “no-navel” dictum, which affected Star Trek as well. So when he made the pilot for the (never made) series Genesis II he gave Mariette Hartley’s character TWO navels, which they showed onscreen:

Your links revealed something I had never realized before: The name “Dylan Hunt” was used twice in the Roddenberryverse-as the hero of “Earth II”, and as the hero of “Andromeda”.
I had the same idea for an episode of Roseanne, with an extra twist that they actually DID reanimate Becky and changed her back.
And then, just to screw with everyone, they did it again.
That lost Star Trek Voyager episode where Janeway has sex with Seven of Nine.
They kept bringing in new girls, but the names always stayed the same. A dead giveaway. :o
They were “kissin’ cousins”? :eek:
As opposed to a “Colombian necklace”? :dubious:
On Gomer Pyle, USMC, it finally dawns on Sgt Carter that the thing Gomer has isn’t a “father fixation” after all, and he sees to it that Pyle gets an Undesirable Discharge (or is sent to Vietnam, which is probably where he would have been stationed anyway).
