* ''Film/InvasionOfTheSaucerMen'' and its remake, ''Film/AttackOfTheEyeCreatures'', both involve large groups of teens in parked cars. They ultimately get to be the BigDamnHeroes, since AdultsAreUseless. Not far from the Point is the home of a frustrated old man, outraged by all the "smoochers" driving past his house.

* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' has featured a few of the movies listed above under Film, including ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'', ''Film/{{Hobgoblins}}'', ''Film/TheCreepingTerror'', and ''Film/AttackOfTheEyeCreatures''.

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': In "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS2E19Lifesigns Lifesigns]]", the Doctor has a date with Denara Pel, so [[FanOfThePast Tom Paris]] Tom Paris lends them his holodeck program involving a '57 Chevy overlooking a city on Mars. In "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS7E4Repression Repression]]", Tom creates a [[UnabashedBMovieFan movie theatre]] on the holodeck and demonstrates the YawnAndReach for his own girlfriend B'Elanna Torres.

* On ''Series/ThePartridgeFamily'', Danny once asked the eldest son where he intended to go on a date. "If I'm unlucky, the pizza place. If I'm lucky ... Muldoon's Point."
** On one episode, the family (as part of a bet -- for charity) has to evade a private eye for 24 hours. They park at Muldoon's Point on a busy night. The first gag is that Laurie chides Keith for bringing them to this place; but when asked what the place is, she answers "Muldoon's Point" a little too quickly.
*** Then they see the private eye's car pull into the crowded parking lot. They need a distraction. Reuben, their manager, honks their car horn, then yells out the window: "All right! I know my daughter is here and I'm going FIND HER!" ''Every car starts up.''

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. In "Lifesigns", the Doctor has a date with Denara Pel, so [[FanOfThePast Tom Paris]] Tom Paris lends them his holodeck program involving a '57 Chevy overlooking a city on Mars. In "Repression", Tom creates a [[UnabashedBMovieFan movie theatre]] on the holodeck and demonstrates the YawnAndReach for his own girlfriend B'Elanna Torres.

* On ''Series/{{Wings}}'', the Make-Out Point on Nantucket is Indian Point, where Joe and Helen have their first kiss (with Brian hiding in the backseat).

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E4TheRuthlessPursuitOfBloodWithAllA ...The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child's Demanding]]", Lestat and Claudia are at a lover's lane to prey on unsuspecting couples. Claudia is innocent when it comes to human sexuality, so Lestat employs euphemistic language to explain to her what "[[CallAHumanAMeatbag the meat]]" do here.

-->''"You go up a boy and come down a man... [[spoiler:who knows how to roller-skate!]]''

* Appears in a ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' episode as a Subversion. The KND are investigating something called "The Point", which we think is a makeout spot and the kids think it's a factory turning teenagers into adults. They call in a KillSat but it turns out to be [[spoiler:a roller rink]].

* There's one in the {{Freemium}} game ''[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff]]'' called "Anal Point". It's a patch of woods with a dirt clearing, with tire tracks moving in a way as to be reminiscent of a colon (the organ, not the punctuation). The action on the location is called "Attempting ATM". Presumably, it has nothing to do with obtaining $20 bills from a machine.

* ''Series/MrBelvedere'': The episode "Homecoming" saw Heather and her boyfriend, Keith, go to a Make-Out Point to, well, make out... until Keith tries to take things a step too far. (The scene itself was filmed on a soundstage, with a nighttime backdrop used to set the scene.)

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In the fourth episode, Lestat and Claudia are at a lover's lane to prey on unsuspecting couples. Claudia is innocent when it comes to human sexuality, so Lestat employs euphemistic language to explain to her what "[[CallAHumanAMeatbag the meat]]" do here.

Often involves a tourist-trap-type scenic bluff, so as to overlook the city lights at night... as if you're looking at ''that'' when you're up here. Alternately, it could be a DriveInTheater. Also a standard set up for DeathBySex in horror movies, as the people in the car are... distracted, to say the least. Similarly, it seems being at Make-Out Point makes you immediately a WeirdnessMagnet -- the first people to see the falling meteor, the mutant escapee, or the alien invasion force tends to be such a couple; see TerrorAtMakeOutPoint.

* ''Degrassi'' has "the ravine," and, in later seasons, the boiler room.

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'':
** On radio and television, the EverytownAmerica setting of Madison had Outpost Road, a scenic sight in the country outside of town. It's the focus of the radio episode "Outpost Road". Walter Denton and Harriot Conklin had been caught necking out on Outpost Road, but to avoid being identified after their narrow escape, they claimed to have loaned his jalopy to Miss Brooks and Mr Boynton. An interesting prospect for Connie, but she doesn’t want to be dragged into the mess. Connie only agrees to play along if Mr Boynton does. Amazingly, he does, and the two teachers plan to return to the scene of the crime for their own necking session.
** Due to ExecutiveMeddling, the fourth season of the television program was set in the Los Angeles area with little explanation. On a couple occasions, gym instructor Gene Talbot attempts to take Miss Brooks out to Mulholland Drive. Miss Brooks resists.
* ''Series/HappyDays'' had Inspiration Point, where the cast were always desperate to get to, although they seldom did... at least not after the show began being filmed in front of a live audience...
** Early seasons also mentioned going to the "submarine races."
* ''Series/MrBelvedere'': The episode "Homecoming" saw Heather and her boyfriend, Keith, go to a Make-Out Point to, well, make out... until Keith tries to take things a step too far. (The scene itself was filmed on a soundstage, with a nighttime backdrop used to set the scene.)

* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' has featured a few of the movies listed above under Film, including ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'', ''Film/{{Hobgoblins}}'', ''Film/TheCreepingTerror'', and ''Film/AttackOfTheEyeCreatures''.
* In ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'', Rosewood has a spot in the forest called 'The Kissing Rock', which Alison fantasizes about having been used for trysts for hundreds of years, and that the ghosts of the past lovers are pressuring you to 'do it' when there. Later, she admits she made that up, but that it's still true.
* Later seasons of ''Series/That70sShow'' have Mt. Hump, lampshaded when Donna wonders if it's called that because of why people go there, or if people go there because of what it's called.

* The ''Series/SeventhHeaven'' episode "Let's Talk about Sex" featured a "[=MacArthur=]'s Point," which served to demonstrate that this trope is not very convincing when set in the present day.
* ''Degrassi'' has "the ravine", and, in later seasons, the boiler room.
* On ''Series/ThePartridgeFamily'', Danny once asked the eldest son where he intended to go on a date. "If I'm unlucky, the pizza place. If I'm lucky ... Muldoon's Point."
** On one episode, the family (as part of a bet -- for charity) has to evade a private eye for 24 hours. They park at Muldoon's Point on a busy night.

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. In "Lifesigns", the Doctor has a date with Denara Pel, so [[FanOfThePast Tom Paris]] Tom Paris lends them his holodeck program involving a '57 Chevy overlooking a city on Mars. In "Repression", Tom creates a [[UnabashedBMovieFan movie theatre]] on the holodeck and demonstrates the YawnAndReach for his own girlfriend B'Elanna Torres.
* Lampshaded in ''Series/StepByStep'' when the adults call the place "Make Out Point" and the kids say it is now known as "Suck Face Hill".
* "Blowie Point" at Josh and Rebecca's old summer camp in ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend''. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Rebecca thinks the name refers to high wind, and is sure to wear a windbreaker when she meets Josh there.]]

* ''Series/FamilyMatters''. Mama Winslow tells Laura that she saw her boyfriend with another girl at "make out mountain". Carl demands to know "Mama, what were ''you'' doing at "make out mountain"?"

** Marge and Artie Ziff went to one after their high school prom, though it didn't turn out [[DateRapeAverted quite as planned]]. In another one, when Apu and his wife were having fertility problems, Homer brings them here. "[[LawOfInverseFertility This scenario is guaranteed to cause pregnancy.]]"

* On ''Series/ThePartridgeFamily'', Danny once asked the eldest son where he intented to go on a date. "If I'm unlucky, the pizza place. If I'm lucky ... Muldoon's Point."

* "Blowie Point" at Josh and Rebecca's old summercamp in ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend''. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Rebecca thinks the name refers to high wind, and is sure to wear a windbreaker when she meets Josh there.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' had one in the episode where they all get superpowers. To quote Squidward- "Ah, Makeout reef. Good times, Goood times." The villians are terroizing the kids making out there... and inexplicably come across [[spoiler: a guy making out with a PILLOW.]] "Hey man. That's not cool..."

* ''Film/TheMusicMan'' is set in 1912, so cars aren't quite widespread enough for this trope to be played straight. However, an invitation to "the footbridge" automatically implies [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow canoodling]].

* Music/NickWaterhouse's song "I Feel an Urge Coming On" is an invitation to "come on and meet me, baby, down in lovers' lane."
