Easy Amnesia: Difference between revisions

* Subverted on ''[[Starsky and Hutch (TV series)|Starsky and Hutch]]''; after a car accident, Hutch apparently has amnesia, which is used as an opportunity for a [[Clip Show]] as Starsky reminds him of their past. Near the end of the show, it turns out that Hutch is fine; he's just taking revenge on Starsky for his reckless driving.

* In ''[[Weird Science (TV series)|Weird Science]]'' practically every episode ends with Lisa handing out free [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] for all implicated parties except for the main characters of course. Suverted when Lisa couldn't wipe Chett's memory because he developed a brain callous out of the absurd number of times his memory has been edited.

* ''[[Wonderfalls]]'', in a late-season arc, [[Subverted]] it: Heidi Gotts gets bumped on the head and decides to fake amnesia ''precisely because'' so many people think it works this way.

* Gibbs suffers a two-part amnesia arc {{spoiler|after being blown up}} in the third season finale of ''[[NCIS]]''. It's mostly an excuse to drag out the search for the bad guy while still allowing Gibbs to be conscious in many scenes. Also, to make Ziva cry.

* ''[[The Legend of Dick and Dom]]'' has an episode, "Forget Me Nuts", where all the characters (including a mysterious one we have not seen before) wake up with no memory and have to try and work out who they are, what happened, and what they need to do next. By the end, they have {{spoiler|managed to get the [[Big Bad]] to lose his memory too}}, and convinced him that he is a travelling sandal saleswoman. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|And then the narrator loses his memory.]]

* In the ''[[Andromeda]]'' episode "Music of a Distant Drum" [[Token Heroic Orc|Tyr]] gets this from some [[Nanomachines]], his Nietzschean immune system eventually fights them off but in the meantime he becomes somewhat attached to the fisherwoman who finds him.
