Line 41:
** Final ''[[Star Trek]]'' spin-off example: UK TV channel Virgin 1 markets ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' on the basis of the handful of relatively sexy moments that make up the 4 seasons. While it might have featured more blatant sexual situations than the previous ''[[Star Trek]]'' series, the show was still pretty tame by most modern standards.
* During the early 00s, the British [[Soap Opera]] ''[[Eastenders]]'' featured a number of intentionally misleading trailers. For example, one suggested that Saskia would kill club owner Steve; when the actual episode rolled around, the exact opposite happened. Much later, after Matthew was framed by Steve for Saskia's murder, a specially filmed trailer suggested that Matthew would get his revenge by setting up explosive death traps -- in reality, his actual revenge plan was slightly less violent.
* [[FOX]]'s promo monkeys tried to make a contestant's brief moment of discomfort on ''Don't Forget the Lyrics'' much more dramatic than it actually was.

** And also [https://web.archive.org/web/20100712005035/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3155892&view=findpost=8854345 promoting the same show], they managed to combine this with [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: The promos said that a contestant would win more money than anyone else, and said contestant only actually ''tied'' for the biggest win.
* [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] in ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', in which the clips at the end of each episode were almost ''never'' actually featured in the next, but sometimes became important in their own right.
** Sometimes those clips ''would'' appear on the next episode, but the viewer would never expect it [[Peter and The Wolf|because of so many falsities, they would never expect the truth.]]
