* In a rare example of a modern show doing this, the pilot of 2023's ''Series/{{Intimate}}'' opens with a highlight reel of the entire season (interspersed with some photos and additional scenes of the protagonists hanging out). It makes for a fitting introduction to the show's montage-heavy and fast-paced editing style, but was probably also done because the episode proper has almost no set-up or exposition, cutting between three storylines that are, for much of the runtime, only linked by the fact that two of the characters are obviously twin brothers. The cast does not appear together until the final scene and is only established as a friend group by the opening montage before then.

* ''Series/StargateSG1'': For a fair number of episodes in the first season, a short mini-trailer would summarize the plot for the episode you were about to watch. This was discarded before the season finished.
Added DiffLines:
* In the Mainframe produced ''WesternAnimation/ActionMan2000'', summaries describing the plot of the episodes were placed at the very beginning of that episode. This practice began with Episode 11, but was then retroactively done with earlier episodes.
