someone loses their memory and ends up either being brain washed to be a bad guy, or falls in love or some how becomes romantically involved with someone other than their assigned love interest; somtimes a random person other times said love interst's sworn mortal enemy...
brain swapping. Somehow by some means a character ends up in the body of another person evil clone/twin... someone dies but isn't really dead (all evidence shows said person is dead even with a body) but this person shows up alive and well at some point.

You go girl! These sh**s are done to death. NO MORE AMNESIA/PERSONALITY SWITCH/LOOKALIKE EPISODES, PLEASE! About someone apparently dying; I was really happy that 4Kids didn't kill Leatherhead. I was constantly fearing that he was gonna die when he appeared in an episode, and it seem like it in the end of the first episode he was in. I hate that "there's nothing for me anymore, I might as well sacrifice myself" thing, if it's a cool character like Leatherhead.

Here you go folks. A couple months ago Doug Walker (the Nostalgia Critic) discussed this very topic in a vlog. This is his top 10 worst cliches.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...-worst-cliches One over-used plot that I actually kinda like as it CAN be good if used correctly is the Groundhog Day plot (repeating the same day/event over and over and trying to figure out WTF is going on). Some shows (IE: Stargate, TNG, and Xena) have used it quite good. Others, not so much.

The plot where the character is an expert but he has crazy theories and despite him always being right his peers fight him on it. Then in the end it turns out his crazy theory was correct and everyone apologizes only to make the same mistake again next episode.
That's actually a formula that I've seen used for entire TV series. House does and I suffered through some episodes of Lie To Me and that did it too. Normal TV sucks. |
