And Netflix will ensure you only hear of them for a maximum of two seasons.

Ew. There's a musical episode of Fringe where the characters start singing.
I'd forgotten about that one and I shall now try to forget about it again.

There seems to be one of those in almost every series...

Well there shouldn't be. Stop it. Stop it now.

And a body swap story... and an alternate universe story... and an "It's a Wonderful Life" style story... and a doppelganger story... and...

EDIT _ Oh, and I forgot the memory loss story (ironic), where everyone forgets who they are due to some technical or magical thingamybob going wrong.

And don't forget the Groundhog Day-style time loop episode. In Fringe that was just before the musical story one.

I was gonna do that if you didn't.

And now that I'm thinking about it I think most shows also have at least one Rashomon episode too.

a what now?

The ones that stick most in my mind are the TNG episode "A Matter Of Perspective" where Riker is accused of killing a scientist and all the witnesses' different stories are recreated on the holodeck, and that X-Files episode "Bad Blood" where Mulder and Scully tell very different stories to an inquiry into one of their cases. Then again the X-Files also has those crazy-but-brilliant Jose Chung stories that take the concept to another level entirely.
