Mood Whiplash/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

** The show often does intentional versions of this trope too. The most extreme is probably "Take This Sabbath Day," where the episode alternates between the gut-wrenching, extremely dark A-plot of Bartlet debating whether or not to commute the sentence of a man on death row scheduled to be executed by midnight, and the side-splittingly hilarious B-plot of an extremely hungover Josh experiencing [[Disaster Dominoes]] while bickering with a congressional campaign manager.

* Done deliberately as part of the format in ''[[Doc Martin]]'', every episode will contain one dark, serious and weighty storyline, and one light [[Quirky Town]] style story. They will then interleave throughout the episode, often with both story lines crossing through the same scene, and leaving the viewer pretty wrung out emotionally by the end.
