He was a pretty good war of the world guy until he had a crisis of confidence and couldn’t fight the world anymore then he met a good-lookin’ woman who convinced him to be a good war of the world guy.

The biggest threes company “misunderstanding” was apparently when Suzanne Sommers wanted more money because she thought she was the star.

I Dream of Jeannie had only only one plot. Who cares? She was fine to look at.
Lassie had only one plot. Timmy gets lost or falls down the well. Lassie, go get help!

There was an A-Team episode that reused a Starsky & Hutch script. In both, a main character was wounded and in danger of dying in a restaurant being controlled by a hostage taker.They did that one on Flashpoint too.

LMN- Lifetime Movie Network theme is that all white men are evil and/or stupid brutes. All plots on that network revolve around that them. They make tons of money.

Not sure if they’d count as nature or man. Probably depends on people like the machines are. Pick a bucket, any bucket.
I’ve got an author friend who puts them all in one bucket, he says all stories boil down to: things were going along, then something unexpected happened.

“Monk did it too.”
Is that what happened to Sharona? I wondered about that.
