In a World… in which Start to Corpse is a statistic vital to drinking games around the globe, it is necessary to have a Victim of the Week. No victim, no corpse. No corpse, no drinking. Bad outcome. Even if you are not going to kill the victim, you still need one. Bad guys need to be bad to a person, and when a villain Kicks the Dog, well, somebody needs to be the poor dog in question. Your hero is not going to look very heroic if he just runs around arresting people for stuff like abuse-of-lawnchair. It is important to establish that the lawnchair was being kept by a saintly old widow as a fond reminder of her beloved, deceased husband. The bereaved widow is now bereft of her lawnchair and is inconsolable. Justice must be done. This lawnchair abuser is going down! Did we say "lawnchair abuser?" Lawnchair terrorist, more like! Pickin' on little old ladies... The point being that, due to the compressing nature of having only 42 minutes to do the whole thing, a writer has to find a "sympathy" gong for the victim early and hit it hard. Sometimes subtlety may have to go by the wayside. Common in series that use Monster of the Week or Mystery of the Week. In more supernatural series, having a victim of the week is also a very good way to showcase the special powers or other abilities of this week's monster or villain that the hero must overcome in order to save the day. It should be noted that often in Mystery of the Week shows, the Victim of the Week is not sympathetic at all. This is due to the fact that there need to be enough suspects wanting the person dead. If it always seems to be the same person that fills this role (in a non-fatal way, obviouslynote well, usually), then it's a Designated Victim. If the character is the point-of-view character in the opening, you have Intro-Only Point of View. Compare Patient of the Week. See also Woobie of the Week and Joggers Find Death. |

In Kamen Rider Fourze, the Victims make a Deal with the Devil because they have reasons for wanting power (the first two are resentful towards the school's Jerk Jock and Alpha Bitch). One of the series' central themes is friendship, so the Victims are inevitably forgiven and befriended by Fourze and his team. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: In every episode, Big Bad Hawk Moth uses one of his akumas to brainwash normal civilians and turn them into supervillains that obey his orders, making the Victim of the Week and the Monster of the Week one and the same. In order for his power to work, the victim must be feeling negative emotions like sadness or anger, meaning the person usually was already the victim of another incident, and he usually offers a deal for those people to get what they wanted or get revenge on whoever wronged them in exchange for stealing the heroes' Transformation Trinkets, however, the episodes usually end with the person free from the possession, and getting what they wanted anyway, or making whoever made them upset getting punished. | |

If you're in the Inuyasha universe, you better pray that your occupation isn't "Random Villager". If it is, chances are you're going to have your soul stolen, get aged rapidly, eaten, decapitated, torn to shreds, ritualistically sacrificed or used as a human shield. | |

The A-Team: Whether it was a person being threatened about the fate of their loved ones if they don't shut up, a small company about to lose their business because of a larger, ruthless competitor, or a woman being forced to marry a Gold Digger, the titular group was on top of it. In some episodes, like "Skins", there was a dead victim as well, but it was much rarer. | |

HappinessCharge Pretty Cure! takes this even further, where people will imprisoned in mirrors and their positive or negative emotions will turn into Saiarks. The villains can capture multiple victims at once to create one or multiple Saiarks. Two reoccurring characters, a classmate and a major supporting character's younger sister, hold the dubious honor of being the week's victim twice. | |

A couple of Kamen Rider series have Monsters of the Week spawn from regular humans, which brings in a Victim of the Week aspect: In Kamen Rider Den-O, the Imagins are Jerkass Genies who distort peoples' wishes (which are, with perhaps two exceptions, well-intentioned or merely misguided. The Hero, a very compassionate young man, makes helping the Victims as much a priority as fighting the Imagins. Kamen Rider Double has Clients of the Fortnight, as the protagonists operate a detective agency and often the Dopants will be the source of their problems. In Kamen Rider OOO, the Greeed take normal if flawed humans and use their impure desires to make the Yummies. In Kamen Rider Fourze, the Victims make a Deal with the Devil because they have reasons for wanting power (the first two are resentful towards the school's Jerk Jock and Alpha Bitch). One of the series' central themes is friendship, so the Victims are inevitably forgiven and befriended by Fourze and his team. In Kamen Rider Wizard, Victims are known as "Gates," humans with high magical potential. The Monsters of the Week, Phantoms, are born from inside the Gates when said Gate reaches the Despair Event Horizon, giving birth to the Phantom while killing the Gate. |

NUMB3RS has a few episodes where many of the victims are dead (although like NCIS, there are living victims). | |

In Blood-C this is taken to a new extreme with almost each episode, going from a single, unnamed character dying rather quickly to several main characters dying in a single episode. | |

Ai Enma, the Hell Girl, frequently deals with victims of this type, who have often suffered horribly at the hands of the tormentors that they want sent to Hell. | |

Many but not all episodes of Doctor Who have some variation of this with a dead or living victim, especially the opening segment in the new series. | |

About half the time on Person of Interest, the titular person is someone who is going to be the victim of a violent crime and the protagonists have to intervene before that happens (the rest of the time, the person is someone who's going to commit a crime and they need to figure out who the victim is). It has also done every possible variation on these two possible states, everything from a single person being a victim of one crime and a perpetrator of another to a character intentionally gaming the system by ordering a hit on herself. | |

Every episode of Pushing Daisies with the twist that Ned can raise the dead for a minute and thus can question the week's murder victim. Not that they're always all that helpful. Tru Calling used a similar gimmick. |

Criminal Minds usually has someone, be it a young woman, or a whole family, or a couple, or even one of the agents being tortured or in some other way brought close to death by the Monster of the Week ("monster" here meaning "psychopathic killer") and the BAU tracking down the killer and saving them in the nick of time...unless the plot calls for something otherwise. | |

In Kamen Rider Den-O, the Imagins are Jerkass Genies who distort peoples' wishes (which are, with perhaps two exceptions, well-intentioned or merely misguided. The Hero, a very compassionate young man, makes helping the Victims as much a priority as fighting the Imagins. | |

Sailor Moon is a primary offender: every week a new character with a backstory, an example of how the victim is better than Usagi, and a pure heart to exploit (or whatever the MacGuffin happens to be for that season). Everyone of the Inner Senshi became a victim in season 3. Rei was even the first of the whole season. In Minako's case, it's Played for Laughs because she was jealous that everyone except her got their Pure Heart Crystal stolen once (to her, it meant she didn't have a pure heart). The Outer Senshi Uranus and Neptune also became victims, but in their case, it's very dramatic and the two episodes had completely different mood than the others, except Usagi's two episodes that were more dramatic than Rei's, Makoto's or Ami's. It continues on in Season 4 with Dream Mirrors taking the place of Pure Heart Crystals, and the Inner Senshi once again having an episode with them being a Victim of the Week. Rei is once again the first victim of the Senshi, and Minako's is once again Played for Laughs when she dates two of the villains at the same time and they proceed fight over who gets to look in her dream mirror. Usagi's case is even more dramatic than the last. This time her dream mirror being shattered. |

See almost any episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And most episodes of Supernatural. Also the very premise of Angel, who relies on the victim to come and seek his help (or to appear in visions). |

Gunsmoke. At least one commentator has noted that, in the real-life wild-frontier Dodge City, there wouldn't have been enough murders over the course of a few decades to account for one season of Gunsmoke. | |
