Line 223:
* Subtle example from the Zordon era of ''[[Power Rangers]]''. [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Mighty Morphin]] through [[Power Rangers Zeo|Zeo]], some of the Rangers taught martial arts to some of the people of Angel Grove.

* On ''NCIS'' Tim McGee's second career as a bestselling author (under a pseudonym) is usually the subject for jokes once found out, but in one episode when they need to get someone into an exclusive club, Gibbs realizes they don't need work to get in; they've already got a celebrity who would be invited past the velvet rope. To enhance the effect McGee arrives in the expensive sports car he'd earlier mentioned he'd just bought with Ziva and Abbie hanging off his arms.
