The Intern: Difference between revisions

* John Carter (Noah Wyle) on ''[[ER]]''

** Which lead to the really cool [[Character Development]] of John Carter from [[The Intern]] to The Veteran, followed by him handing off his title to the next in line, much as Dr. Green had done to him, when he left the show. Of course, it took ''ten years''...

* The entire premise, especially in the first season, of [[Scrubs]].

** Which comes full circle as JD, Turk, and Elliot, who were the first batch of interns in season 1, become residents and then attendings, acquire their own interns, and eventually wind up as senior staff by season 8 and are now in the role of mentors.

* In the first season of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'', Scooter is cast as an inexperienced newbie whom Kermit was forced to hire as a gofer because his uncle owned the theater. Several early episodes feature Scooter coming to Kermit with ridiculous "fresh new ideas" for the show that Kermit puts into action against his will for fear of losing his lease. As the show went on, Scooter's antagonistic side was dropped and his uncle was barely ever mentioned.

* McGee was like this during his first season on ''[[NCIS]]'', and Tony still taunts him for being this trope.

* The main cast of the Russian sitcom ''The Interns''.

* Yuki in [[Casualty]], and to a lesser extent, Lenny. A few seasons earlier, Toby fit the role pretty well.
