* ''[[Friends]]'' referenced this by starting [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming|every episode title]] with the words "The One (With/Where)..." apart from the pilot and the finale, and even the pilot has an alternate title.
** Specifically, the pilot is now listed on [[IMDb]] as "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate" and the Season 1 DVD set also uses that title. [[The Other Wiki]] still calls it "The Pilot". The season finale is titled, logically enough, "The Last One".
