Someone overhears something wrong, and spends the rest of the episode (comically) trying to avoid it happening.

A relative from other country comes, brings everyone in the family together...then dies.
That's why the twist when it happened in Everybody Loves Raymond was so f***ing amazing.

Ok, I have to know, please enlighten on ELR doing something worthwhile? First off, I never got the ELR hate...I thought it was a pretty good show for the most part, but to each their own. Anyways, the plot was that Raymond helps his daughter with a project about family and in the process finds the address to his great aunt (I think) who still lives in Italy. He writes her and through the confusion she shows up at their house. The family is brought together while she is there, despite the fact that she can't speak any English...absolutely no minor family quarrels or anything. Around this point, Frank (Raymond's father) shows the great aunt a picture of his father (her brother), who was a Sardine packer. She doesn't recognize who it is. They blame Frank for "getting the wrong picture" before realizing they've been spending all this time with a complete stranger. The episode ends with a real relative of hers from the U.S coming to retrieve her. She also briefly mentions something about a Sardine packer who stole their last name way back in the day. The family just stands there...depressed. |

I'll throw-in the "being overly competitive then learning a lesson about it episode".

Wizard of Oz episodes are pretty overdone. They can work, but it typically sucks.

More often then not an animated show will do a "body swap" episode usually it's between two characters whom are bitter enemies or polar opposites.

More common in the older sitcoms but still...
Main character meets up with old flame from past/attractive customer they are working with/ect and they either worry about their spouse becoming jealous, or the spouse DOES become jealous and they are completely oblivious to it. If it happens to a husband, he learns to not be so foolish and to trust his wife completely. If it happens to a wife, husband apologizes for working with attractive person/old flame/whatever and either quits the assignment or gets someone else to do it for them. This storyline is especially prevailient in old Dick Van Dyke episodes.

A common one on kids shows. Popular movie comes out that kid isn't allowed to see, feels isolated at school by not seeing it and keeps trying to sneak in to see it.

The family goes on vacation, which means tons of on site filming!
This was huge in the 90s. If it was an ABC show, they always went to Disneyland or Disneyworld. Other shows went to Hawaii or some European country. I guess they wanted to blow what was left of the budget and get a vacation out of it.
