====Setting====
* Change in the principal setting of the show, either permanently or as the theme of a series of episodes (e.g., on ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'', when Drew changes jobs and is inexplicably accompanied by his hated assistant Mimi, and boss Mr. Wick; ''[[Laverne & Shirley]]'' when all the main characters move from [[Milwaukee, Wisconsin|Milwaukee]] to [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]].
* Loss of a key prop or ___location (e.g., the final episodes of ''M*A*S*H'' and ''[[Degrassi|Degrassi High]]'', Arnold's in ''Happy Days'', or The Den in ''[[Moesha]]'').
* When the show is in an academic setting, the main characters [[graduation|graduate]] and the setting changes from [[high school]] to a [[university]] (e.g., on ''[[Buffy The Vampire Slayer]]'', Buffy and her friends all go on to the same college while trying to maintain the same relationships with family and friends; a similar shift took place on ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'' and ''[[Beverly Hills 90210]]'').
