As many American adventure-themed TV shows air episodes weekly, there is usually a new, temporary antagonist to forward the plot each week. The main characters usually confront and vanquish these characters, often leaving them never to be seen again.
See Charmed, Sailor Moon, Jackie Chan Adventures, Power Rangers, Ultraman, Teen Titans (animated series), "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and "Smallville" for examples.
