Line 8:
Since some shows seem to contractually require one moral per episode, you often end up with a [[Broken Aesop]].
 
A lot of kids' shows go out of their way for this, especially [[Disney]] animated shows. Writers often call it the "[[Object Lesson]]", and write the episode around it. This is particularly noticeable in programs made in the United States during the late 1970s through the early 1990s, as the FCC at the time required that all children's television shows have "educational" content, and this was the simplest way to meet its requirements.
 
In an American [[Dom Com]], the point where the '''Aesop''' is delivered is often referred to by writers as the [[Golden Moment]].
