Line 209:
* In a surprisingly serious moment in an otherwise pretty funny episode of a pretty funny series, Charlie of ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'', having been bugged all day by his mother to try and get him to tell her why he hates her, finally calls out his mother on how horrible she was to him and Alan and blames her for their father's death. Evelyn, true to character, acts as if Charlie is being a whiney brat and walks out.
* Rita in ''[[Dexter]]'' lets her mother have it after her mom moves in and starts rearranging her life.
* Lee Adama's closing speech at Baltar's trial on the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' included Calling The Old Man Out (for a twofer, as father and as "the Old Man" as commander of the ship) for some of Adama Senior's actions (however justified they might have been), not to mention at mother-figure Laura Roslin.
** Lee has called out his father ''several'' times - for example, he believed Adama was the main cause of the death of his brother Zak - pressuring him to become a Viper pilot despite his lack of aptitude. Lee also opposed his father on the issue of martial law to the point of being sent to the brig for it.
* Sawyer unknowingly does this for Locke's father in ''[[Lost]]'' which culminates in {{spoiler|Sawyer killing him}}. When Sawyer learns of this revelation, he finds out that's precisely why Locke wanted him to meet him since the man had done terrible wrongs of the same nature to the both of them.
