== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* Happened to the paramedics of ''[[Third Watch]]'' quite a bit. Bobby was ''shot'' (and killed), Carlos was frequently in hospital for various amusing minor injuries (and one not-so-amusing major disease), Alex was killed in an explosion, and in the [[Pilot Episode]] Jerry was shot and had to retire.
** The [[New York City Cops|police characters]] were not much better off. Both Bosco and Faith spent long periods of time in hospital.
* A few episodes of ''[[The
* ''[[Criminal Minds]]'': "Profiler, Profiled" had this happen to Derek Morgan.
** Not to mention Reid, who [[James Bondage|gets kidnapped]] [[Break the Cutie|all the time.]] [[Perverse Sexual Lust|Not that fans mind...]]
*** The
**** The Trope then took over the first nine episodes of Season 5, after Hotch {{spoiler|was tortured in his apartment by George Foyet/The Reaper in 5x01.}} It was background for 8 episodes after that, culminating in the 100th episode with the BAU {{spoiler|trying to stop Foyet from killing Hotch's ex-wife Haley and son Jack.}}
* Outbuildings of Rampart Hospital in ''[[Emergency]]'' caught fire as part of the second season finale.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
** Played with in the episode where the Gravedigger, the [[Serial Killer]] who had abducted Bones, Hodgins, and Booth, finally goes to trial. The team realizes that in order to secure a conviction, they have to drop the charges on their own abductions and focus on one of the cases that doesn't involve them directly.
** The 7th-season episode "The Crack in the Code" introduces a new [[Serial Killer]] who is specifically targeting FBI agents (even writing messages in a combination of blood from ''five different agents''), is as technologically savvy as Angela, and is at least as intelligent (if not [[Up to Eleven|more so]]) than [[Insufferable Genius|Bones herself]].
* ''[[CSI]]'': In an early season, Nick is a suspect in the murder of a hooker who he had slept with the night before (it was a set-up). Then from season 5 on this became a regular event during [[Sweeps]] and [[Season Finale]] episodes. Nick gets kidnapped in the end of season 5, Brass gets shot at the end of season 6, 4th ep of season 7 sees Greg get badly beat up when he tries to stop a violent gang, (it kills one of the gang but saves their intended victim) ''and'' Sara is kidnapped by the Miniature Killer at the end of the season. Season 8, Warrick is suspected of going vigilante and killing a mob boss they couldn't convict, gets cleared, then ''shot'' by the real perp. {{spoiler|
* Also happens quite a bit on ''[[CSI: NY]]'' with Stella's [[Fatal Attractor|psycho boyfriends]], perps seeking revenge on Mac (and one shooting him nearly to death), the ep where Hawkes is framed for murder,the deaths of {{spoiler|Aiden and Angell}} and Danny taking heat for one of his rookies shooting an unarmed man during his stint as sergeant.
* ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' had it as well. Speed was killed in season 3, Ryan's been in trouble several times, and naturally, with Horatio a few times.
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
** Ziva David is in trouble at least twice: In "Jeopardy", a suspect dies mysteriously in her custody while she is alone with him ({{spoiler|he had a stroke}}), and in "Shalom" she is suspected as a double agent.
** For several episodes in season six (led up to in season five), NCIS is searching for a mole among its own team, who turns out to be {{spoiler|Michelle Lee}}.
* Tends to happen at least once per game in the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series, most notably during the fourth case of the first when {{spoiler|Miles Edgeworth}} is accused of murder. {{spoiler|And again in ''Investigations'', but only for about half an hour.}}▼
** Heck, start off with the first nonpractice case in the series. After confronting Mia's real murderer Phoenix Wright finds himself accused of the deed after Maya (his assistant-to-be) gets the rap.▼
** Done in flashback a few times. In ''Trials and Tribulations'', {{spoiler|Phoenix decides to go to law school specifically because of seeing Mia defend him in court}} and in another {{spoiler|Gumshoe's first meeting with Edgeworth is when the new detective is accused of Byrne's murder.}}▼
** And there's also Maggey Byrde, an officer/ex-officer/security guard who winds up accused of murder ''three times''. And convicted once, albeit under false pretenses.▼
* Teresa Lisbon was a suspect in one episode of ''[[The Mentalist]]''.
* In ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'', Ned was suspected of killing a business rival, so had to languish in jail for part of the episode. Fortunately, his friends proved themselves to be skilled investigators even without him.
Line 57 ⟶ 54:
* Happened frequently in ''[[Dragnet]]'', as Jack Webb's way of showing how the police deal with police-involved shootings,[[Dirty Cop]] s,ect. In one, an undercover officer (Kent Mc Cord before he started playing Officer Reed) is accused of robbing a liquor store, and it seems fairly clearly that he's guilty, until he turns out to have a doppelganger who was the real robber. Another involved a detective caught up in bribery and bookmaking, and Friday went undercover pretending he was dirty, to nab the guy.
* ''[[Adam-12]]'' got in on it as well. In one episode, Reed faced an intensive grilling after shooting a sniper in self defense. And then there's the hard-hitting 'Elegy for a Pig' episode.
