Writing for TV ain't easy-- coming up with fresh plots on a weekly basis can be tough. Fortunately for writers, most shows follow the same basic format week-to-week, so they don't have to come up with radically different plots every seven days. One of the most popular show types is the "[[Index of the Week|Of The Week]]" format, in which a core cast of [[Regular Character|Regular Characters]] deals with a new problem every week. This combines the stability of a template show with the possibility of new, exciting stories. |

Most of the time, the problem the cast encounters disappears by the end of the episode, never to be mentioned again. It's becoming increasingly common for a show to have an overreaching seasonal [[Story Arc]] as well, but writers of the past generally preferred to stay low on continuity; less continuity means it's easier to re-air the show in syndication. |
|||
In script terms, the [[One-Shot Character]] who comes in with a problem and disappears after is called a '''client'''. |
