| Love, American Style | comment |
Love, American Style was a comedy anthology show that aired for five seasons (1969–74) on ABC, which presented various skits relating to romance, sex, or people's love lives.The general format opened with a short (30-second) skit where (usually) a guy would try something and end up becoming the butt of a joke, like trying to make out with a girl and then discovering it's a guy, or the woman is willing but her husband is lying asleep in the same bed. (Oh, don't worry about it, he's so drunk he'll never notice.) There would then be a much longer skit, running anywhere from 10 minutes to the rest of the show. It would be followed by another 30-second short, then if time remained, another longer skit. This format was not always followed, however; a number of episodes were Poorly Disguised Pilots that subsequently became regular series, such as Happy Days and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. | |

Poorly Disguised Pilot | |
| Love, American Style / int_38b05ae7 | comment |
Poorly Disguised Pilot: As called out in the main text. Not quite as obvious as most invocations of this trope; the anthology format meant that the show was already visiting differing and unrelated sets of characters from one episode to the next. | |
