How I Met Your Mother - killing her off right after they finally meet, using the story as a way to get Ted's kids permission to ask Robin out on a date. Apparently this is how the series was always intended to end; as the kids were filmed w/ Josh Radnor, Bob Saget narrating and the showrunners early on in the series, so they'd be the same age in the footage when the series eventually ended. I personally enjoyed the twist, but I'm in the minority.
