* ''[[Green Card]]'': Guy and girl have to pretend to be in a relationship so she can get her dream-condo (which is couples-only), and in return he gets the titular Green Card. Somebody suspects that they're faking it, and [[Hilarity Ensues]] as they have to keep the tangled web of lies from collapsing. Needless to say, they wind up ''actually'' falling in love. |

* The [[Trope Maker]] is ''[[Three's Company]]''. Its reputation as being a fountain for [[Idiot Plot|Idiot Plots]] is largely based on the only part of the show anyone remembers -- that Jack has to pretend to be gay so the landlord doesn't realize the apartment is a den of sin. You'd think Janet and Chrissy would just avert this entire conflict by getting a female roommate, but it would seem that Jack's cooking really is that good. |
