Line 65:
* The serial killer Mr. Yin, on ''[[Psych]]'' is particularly creative, including {{spoiler|strapping Juliet to a chair that was attached to a clock tower by a rope in such a way that at 4:30 the rope would be severed and she would fall to her death.}}
* Several of the murder methods in ''[[Jonathan Creek]]'', such as "Satan's Chimney" and "The Grinning Man".
* In ''[[The Cape (2010 TV series)|The Cape]]'', the villain Dice is a savant who is able to calculate probability so quickly that she can effectively predict the future. At one point she rolls a coin down a hallway, which a janitor pauses to pick up, thus knocking over a mop, which turns on a sink and causes it to overflow, then the water shorts out a wire that goes directly to a chandelier that's hanging above the head of the man she wants to kill.
* An episode of ''[[CSI]]'' has the "minature killer" set up a trap in their victims' apartment and send their calling card (a minature of the scene) early. {{spoiler|It turns out to be a device which pours charcoal on the fire and fills the room with carbon monoxide, it silently kills the undercover officer they posted in the room while they were watching unaware the entire time.}}
** The episode Lab Rats has one of these as one of Hodge's causes of death in his "thought experiments" {{spoiler|as a scenario for his board game}}. The first one ( {{spoiler|a booby trapped evidence box}}) is even disparaged as the work of Wile E. Coyote.
