13 TV episodes involving a GROUNDHOG DAY-like scenario where one or more characters live the same time period over and over again
01. AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. - "As I Have Always Been" - The crew of the Zephyr is caught in a repeating time storm, with only Daisy and Coulson aware that it is happening.
02. Star Trek: The Next Generation - 'Cause and Effect' - The Enterprise is caught in a temporal causality loop after a collision with the USS Bozeman (a ship which has been missing for over 90 years)
03. Seven Days - "Come Again?" Due to a malfunction in the re-entry, Parker is caught in a time loop while rescuing a cold fusion expert. It's fortunate as he keeps making some fatal error. He even has to sabotage the final repair to get one last crack at going back and doing the job 100% right.
04. The X-Files - "Monday" In this episode, the world is trapped in a time loop, and only one woman, named Pam, seems to know. Each day the events that happen differ slightly. A bank robbery is committed over and over again until finally the eventual bombing of the building is prevented.
05. DC's Legends of Tomorrow - "Here I Go Again" Zari finds her place on the team when she gets caught in a time loop that results in the Waverider blowing up over and over again.
06. Blindspot - "Everlasting" Patterson (Ashley Johnson) is injured in an explosion in the lab. This puts her in a coma, where she relives the previous day over and over until she can solve who caused the explosion and why.

O'Neill takes the opportunity to plant a big kiss on Carter as well as go for the longest drive in history by launching a golf ball through the stargate.

Finally, by getting help from his brother Randy, he succeeds easily. (Not a real time loop, but clearly inspired by Groundhog Day.)

02. The Champions: "The Interrogation" - This episode was unusual for featuring only one extra set (though it included flashbacks to earlier episodes) and for focusing mostly on one character. The last episode in the syndication package, it was intended to be the season finale; the characters are left with little if any mutual trust, which is not reflected in any other episodes.

13 TV Episodes with one character alone for most of the time (interacting with hallucinations is acceptable)
01. Stargate SG-1: "Grace" - Aboard the Prometheus, Carter is knocked unconscious during an attack by unknown aliens, and when she awakes, she is the only one on board and must figure out how to save the ship and find her missing crew mates despite a serious head injury
02. The Champions: "The Interrogation" - This episode was unusual for featuring only one extra set (though it included flashbacks to earlier episodes) and for focusing mostly on one character. The last episode in the syndication package, it was intended to be the season finale; the characters are left with little if any mutual trust, which is not reflected in any other episodes.
03. The Twilight Zone - "Where is Everybody?" - Pilot episode of the series consists mostly of one man wandering through a small town totally bereft of people. At the end, it is revealed that he was an astronaut in training in an isolation booth, and the loneliness had finally gotten to him.
04. Hancock - "The Radio Ham" (and "The Bedsitter" a.k.a. "Hancock Alone") - episodes in which Tony Hancock is on his own in his bedsit. The Radio Ham became a classic comedy episode.
05. M*A*S*H - "Hawkeye" - Hawkeye gets a head injury while en route back to camp and must hide out in the home of a South Korean family, none of whom speak English. Realizing that if he falls asleep he might never wake up due to the concussion, he spends the whole show just talking about his life to the disinterested family in an effort to stay awake.
06. Talking Heads - a series of 15 dramatic 30-40 minute monologue plays written for TV by Alan Bennett. The most notable is Thora Hird playing Doris, a 75-year-old widow, in "A Cream Cracker under the Settee" for which she won a BAFTA for best actress.
07. The New Dick Van Dyke Show - "The Great Prestoni" - Dick Preston (Dick Van Dyke) encounters burglars after hours and is left tied up. The majority of the story is him doing physical comedy and talking to himself as he works to try and escape.
08. The King Of Queens - "Inner Tube" - Doug is sick in bed with the TV on, and he dreams himself into the shows that are on. Such as Brian's Song, Wheel Of Fortune, Young & Restless.

10. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - "The Human Computer" In order to test a new computer system that could run the submarine Seaview, someone must remain on board it alone. Captain Crane (David Hedison) volunteers for the task. At first, everything seems normal. But soon he realizes there is someone else hiding on board, playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with him. (David Hedison said this was a dream script for him, since he saw Crane's name on every page.)
