Line 29:
* ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm]]'' began as a one-off fake documentary. The spin-off series ditched pretty much everything except for the occasionally shaky, documentary-esque camera and ad-libbed scripts.
* ''[[I'm Alan Partridge]]'' was shot exactly like a documentary, but had a laugh track, didn't acknowledge the camera crew and had several scenes in which the camera crew would usually be excluded. An in-character commentary on the DVD says that half of it was a 'documentary', but the rest was filmed using actors when the 'real' people were unavailable.
* ''[[
* ''[[Frontline]]'' has hand-held footage, with grainy-looking picture quality. It puports to be exactly what happens behind the scenes of a news programme. The presence of a camera crew is never acknowledged, however.
** [[PBS]] actually has a [[Long Runner]] documentary series called ''Frontline''.
Line 35:
* ''[[Taken (TV series)|Taken]]'' begins with a dogfight during [[World War II]]. The CG artists deliberately tried to evoke a documentary feel, with one guy saying he would take it as a compliment if someone pointed this out to him.
* ''[[Kath and Kim]]''
* ''[[Modern Family]]'' has a shaky camera and frequent interviews with characters, but there's no indication that there's actually anything being filmed in the show.
