New Neighbours as the Plot Demands: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* ''[[Sam and Max]]''

 

* This happens in the Mary Minor, Mrs. Murphy and Tee Tucker mystery series written by Rita Mae Brown. The series is set in a small town in Virginia and there are always at least a few new characters introduced with each novel.

* R.L. Stine's ''Ghosts of Fear Street'' series. It must be one long street...

** Some characters don't live on Fear Street, but if they don't, they do something that ''involves'' Fear Street or the also-cursed forest and lake beside it.

 

* Early seasons of ''[[Smallville]]'' had a new meteor rock freak every week.

* ''Everwood'', including the flavor of the week patients.

** Justified, as nearly every episode has 3 or more deaths and without new neighbours, there would be hardly anyone left.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and related media. Handwaved in that the Hellmouth the town is on attracts the monsters and scaries.

** Also, neighbors of the Simpsons (aside from the Flanders) occasionally appear at random, then disappear, never to be mentioned again.

*** Although this too has settled down a little. Flanders lives on one side, Laura Powers lived on the other side (until that house was bought by {{spoiler|Sideshow Bob wearing someone else's face}}, with a brief mention of Powers leaving). More distant neighbors are seldom specified, although Mrs Glick seems to live on the same street somewhere and the house across the road was once owned by George Bush Senior and then by Gerald Ford.
