Line 134:
* Turned out to be quite a hassle for Jeannie and Tony in ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]''. It is stated that [[Magic A Is Magic A|one of the rules of magic]] is that genies cannot be filmed or photographed. Any photos will come out with nothing but empty clothes, ''Invisible Man''-style. This particular quirk was eventually forgotten during the show's run... and then re-remembered during their wedding episode.
* Reluctance to embrace this trope got a character on ''[[Highlander the Series]]'' in deep trouble. Having already dragged his feet for ages before he even learned to read, the immortal Hugh Fitzcairn finds himself at a serious disadvantage in modern times, as he is computer-illiterate and doesn't know how to {{spoiler|delete falsified evidence framing him for murder}}.
* In ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'', it's possible to {{spoiler|kill}} a werewolf by placing him or her in a pressurized chamber during a full moon. Vampires don't show up on video, making for a unique subgenre of [[Snuff Film]]. Meanwhile, Death (or an agent thereof) can talk to ghosts through televisions.
* ''[[The Collector (TV series)|The Collector]]'': The Devil's debt collectors used to have magic rings. Now they have magic cellphones.
