'''Teyla:''' What?
'''Sheppard:''' Sorry, it's just that when something like this happens in the movies, the pregnant lady goes into labor. }}
* The 'giving birth in a taxi' variation happens in an episode of ''[[Frasier]]''. However, in something of a variation, it's the taxi driver's baby, not any of the passengers. And also, the two highly -educated persons who [[Not That Kind of Doctor|pridlyproudly added a Doctor in front of their namenames waswere completely useless,]] while the retired Police Officer helped her through the crisis.
* ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place|]]'': Alex Russo]] was reportedly born in a taxi.
* In ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'', Billie goes into labor on the hospital's broken elevator (during Earl's coma dream). Earl has to help her...and he is proudly holding a healthy baby boy afterwards in the dream.
* ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'' had a variation on this. Heidi goes into labor while she, Tim and Jill are driving through the middle of nowhere to go to an awards dinner and she gives birth in a roadside gas station. Tim becomes the [[Delivery Guy]].
* Mrs. Kotter does this on ''[[Welcome Back, Kotter]].''
* Averted on ''[[Kung Fu]]: The Legend Continues]]'' when an elevator is stuck between floors with a visibly pregnant woman, a jerk, and Kermit Griffin, a tough guy. The woman gets upset, the jerk is rude to her, and Griffin threatens him for being rude. All are rescued, and the woman does not go into labor.
* ''[[Joan of Arcadia]]'' features a quite cruel variation: after the baby is born, the mother refuses to look at it and demands it be taken away.
* Happens to [[ALF]] of all creatures during his [[Christmas Episode]], with [[Delivery Guy|him making the delivery]] and suggesting the name of a newly-deceased little girl he met earlier for the baby. Yes, even ''[[ALF (TV series)|ALF]]'' gets a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] on Christmas, too.
