Rehashed storylines. Just about any episodic drama/comedy is guilty of this. One example which churned my goddamned stomach (and completely turned me off of NCIS - or at least McGee) was when he was writing a book or some such, and then a killer started killing people based off of the book he'd written. **** THAT AND **** YOU, WRITERS! I mean, it's not just NCIS who's done this, but that one was several years ago, and still makes me irritated to even think about. And McGee was so charming when he was Thackery Binx in "Hocus Pocus."
The dramatic argument scene between a couple, ostensibly breaking up, followed by the drunken bar scene, and the angsty face the main character makes when he/she realizes that he/she has screwed up. I may kill myself if I have to sit through that overdone bull**** again. There are really other ways for someone to realize that they were in the wrong/the fight wasn't worth it.
