as a fan of teen dramas, I want to say that this was really, really comnon in the 90s already (and to some extent in the 80s too, in shows like "The Wonder Years").

but yes: by the mid-200s, shows like "One Tree Hill" often had three or four of these music scenes/montages per episodes. "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scrubs" (as more of a parody) did it a lot, too.

also, I haven't seen much "Baywatch" (lol), but I caught two or three episodes in the mid-90s where there were one or two complete songs (a sad ballad about forgetting while a character with Alzheimer's got lost on the way to the beach etc.) per episode.

I remember the WB shows like Dawson's Creek telling you what albums each song came from.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” to “Vh1 You Oughta Know Artist” pipeline (or was it the other way around?) was really flowing for a couple of years there

Buffy did that in the early seasons at the Bronz. Smallville had a few episodes each season with a musical tie in

yes - I don't know the OP and I don't want to sound salty, but "The West Wing" and "Rick and Morty" are so normal on Reddit and it felt important to say "This was not perfected by [typical Reddit show] and then subverted by [typical Reddit show] because everything important happened on these shows."
