Line 18:
* Suiseiseki in ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'', who initially dislikes Jun, draws an obviously biased one in his room.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': While there was no actual line drawn, Asuka tells Shinji that the door between two rooms is "the impenetrable wall of Jericho, Third Child. Take one step over this line and you'll be a dead man." Given that in the story from the Bible, [[Analogy Backfire|the wall of Jericho fell at the sound of a trumpet]], many fans perceived this as a [[Freudian Slip]].
** It's also a [[Shout-Out]] to [[It Happened One Night]], where the blanket separating the male and female protagonists ( {{spoiler|and eventual [[Love Interest
* In the ''[[Read or Die]]'' TV series, Anita's side of the room is divided from the others' by a curtain. "Nobody crosses!" One wonders what ''she's'' hiding.
* In ''[[Cherry Juice]]'' a [[Not Blood Siblings]] brother and sister have to share a room when their grandmother moves into the house after suffering a hip injury.
* ''[[Black Butler]]'': William does this in the manga to Sebastian when forced to share a room during the Circus arc. Enforces it with gusto when Ciel encroaches on his space by 3
* Happened once in "[[Pokémon]]" where [[Fiery Redhead|Jessie and Misty]] fell onto a small rock ledge on a cliff together. Misty draws a line on the rock to give each of them a side while they wait for rescue. Her side is much larger than Jessie's.

* The [[Trope Maker]] may well be the ''[[I Love Lucy]]'' episode "Men Are Messy", in which
** Another episode found the Mertzs and Ricardos running a diner together. When an argument erupted between which couple would greet guests and which couple would work in the kitchen, a line divided the diner in half, and across the middle counter stool.
*** It got even more interesting when their sole customer decided to sit on the seat in the middle, and both couples outdo themselves trying to serve him.
Line 89:
* Happened in one episode of ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'' between Gilligan and the Skipper.
* ''[[My Talk Show]]'': Guest William Shatner takes over one section of the house/set and declares it Canadian territory.
* ''[[The Benny Hill Show]]'': In a sketch, Russian and American sides of an unnamed European Country are decided after years of
* ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' have done this at least once.
* In an episode of ''[[Dad's Army|Dads Army]]'' Hodges and Mainwaring have to share and office and Hodges attempts to draw a line down the middle of the desk in chalk, which Mainwaring keeps rubbing off.
Line 147:
'''Marge:''' Bart, don't write on the carpet! }}
* In one story on ''[[The Smurfs]]'', the village is divided over linguistic issues (they can't agree on the use of "smurf") and one enterprising Smurf paints a line along the middle. Unfortunately, it runs right through one poor Smurf's home, creating confusion as to which side he belongs to. The whole story must've been an allegory on the French / Dutch language struggle in Belgium (where the Smurfs' creator is from).
* Parodied in ''[[Clone High]]'': Joan and Cleo are forced to share a room, so Joan paints a line dividing it in
* In ''Arthur'', a babysitter did this to try to stop Arthur and D.W. from fighting. It didn't work, as the two soon begin fighting over a jacket draped over the tape line.
* ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'': Appears in "Bad Tidings", where the perpetually feuding Darkwing and Grizlikoff paint a line on the desert island they're trapped on. Taken to the logical extreme at the end of the episode, where they do the same thing to the moon. (It makes sense in context..sorta.)
