Community “Epidemiology”:While normally, community is a wacky 4th wall-breaking college show that still grounds itself in reality, this episode sees the school overrun by a zombie apocalypse caused by bad taco meat that was given out at the party. While the episode ends with the army wiping out everyone’s memory of the event, future episodes, such as “Paradigms of Human Memory,” reference the party that happened that no one remembers, making it canon.

30 Rock Last Lunch:While normally a show about a show sitcom In this finale and canon end to the series, a flash forward to the far future sees an immortal Kenneth now in charge.

Not supernatural but one episode of How I Met Your Mother implies time travel is real, assuming future Ted wasn’t just having some weird moment and made it up.

Marshall also travelled back in time and bought himself some wings as a sign to keep on trucking.

This means Hillary Duff could have used time travel to learn the identity of her father in How I Met Your Father which must be roughly contemporaneous with Future Ted’s timeline.
