Flashback: Victorian England

Big Ben strikes twelve. It's midnight. The wheezing of the TARDIS echoes in the courtyard of the Palace of Westminster. The door opens, revealing the Tenth Doctor's head peaking out of the door. He assures his companion at the time, Donna Noble, that everything is okay, and they are still in the same universe even though they experienced some TARDIS difficulties during midflight. Rumplestiltskin appears and questions the two about the "blue wardrobe" they used, wanting to know if she can get to Bae. The Doctor is suspicious of the Dark One, and when he doesn't let Rumple used the TARDIS (partly because he doesn't understand how the world/realm thing works in this new dimension), Rumple conjures a fireball, throwing it at the Doctor and Donna. The TARDIS does get hit, damaging the time machine.

The Doctor and Donna are stuck in Victorian England for a few months until the Curse comes. They are brought to Storybrooke where they are conscious of time being frozen and do not have new counterparts created and are able to fix the TARDIS, but after the TARDIS is fixed, it is not able to leave because of the frozen time (also the Doctor and Donna are afected by the anti-aging magic). They are finally able to leave when our heroine, Emma Swan, comes to town, starting up time again.

I suggest Harry Potter or The Big Bang Theory.
