Line 1:
{{trope}}
Putting the cast of a (relatively) fantastical setting into a contemporary, "normal" one. The entertainment often comes from the [[Fish Out of Water|incongruity of not fitting in]] or the fact that we're seeing the characters in a realistic setting.
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
If it involves people from a futuristic setting travelling into the past (or a recreation of it), expect there to be a [[Fan of the Past]] who provides exposition or takes charge.
Compare [[Brought Down to Normal]], [[Refugee From TV Land]], [[Universal Adaptor Cast]], [[Welcome to The Real World]]. See also [[Transplanted Character Fic]] and [[High School AU]] for [[Fanfic]] version of this trope. See also [[Mundane Side]] for treatment of the setting rather than an episode type.
