Or a divorced couple find out that they're not really divorced and have to quickly get the divorce papers signed because one of them is getting married to someone else.

Or they haven't told their visiting parents, who think they're still happily married.

Never participate or watch a battle re-enactment. Someone is going to die. It's inevitable.

Plus there's a chance that you'll end up time traveling back and have to fight in the actual battle!

Especially since Ross' parents WERE there.  But not when Carol gave birth to Ross' first child.  Weird as hell.

 

Grey's Anatomy did a whole season like this.  The only episode where it worked was the one in which Christina went to Switzerland and re-encountered Burke.  The slowed down version of Like a Virgin fit the scene.  The rest of the season?  Not at all.

Suits built an entire series around a main character hiding that they never attended law school despite acting as an attorney.  It was stupid then and it's still stupid.  It annoyed the hell out of me because it would've called into legal question every single case on which that character work and would've possibly involved disbarment for any attorney at the firm who knew the truth.

Community that was the same premise.  Lawyer is caught without an undergrad  degree has to go back to college.  Though I guess I wasn't clear on if he had a paw degree. Seemed to be just his undergrad.

I prefer that in "Read All About It!" because A) it was Canadian and B) it used the War of 1812 instead of Gettysburg!
