* One of the many parodies in the 200th episode of ''[[Stargate SG
* There was a [[Dream Sequence]] of this on ''[[Fame]]'' (the first, 1980s, TV series version) once, casting Doris in the role of Dorothy. It is unique among these examples in that it was inspired by the fact that ''Fame'' was ''shot on the same soundstage as the 1939 film''. Valerie Landsberg once told the story how the stagehands who worked there very solemnly, almost reverently, showed her and the rest of the cast the last remaining piece of the original Yellow Brick Road, which was kept locked away in what amounted to a shrine in an out-of-the-way corner of the stage.
* ''[[Mad TV]]'', where Dorothy beats up Glinda because she didn't tell Dorothy how the Ruby Slippers worked in her first scene in Oz.
Line 23:
*** And another, where Dorothy wakes up to find that her Auntie Em and her family are replaced by M&M's and that the whole ending is being shamelessly used for a commercial.
*** There was another one before that, where Dorothy meets a black slave with one leg in Oz -- she ends up having sex with him in the bushes.
* ''[[
** The Season 5 episode hosted by Elliot Gould has a Canadian version (''The Incredible Man'') where Dorothy follows yellow snow instead of a yellow brick road and befriends a hockey player, a Mountie, etc. (This sketch became notorious when Garrett Morris {''SNL'''s token black cast member at the time} had a nervous breakdown backstage after being cast as a flying [[Unfortunate Implications|monkey]].)
** Seasons 20 and 29 have similar parodies involving Dorothy's arrival in Munchkinland. In Season 20, the Munchkins aren't impressed by her accidental killing of the Wicked Witch of the East and want her to go away. In Season 29, it turns out that her house landed on not just the Wicked Witch, but also several Munchkins -- and the latter aren't quite dead yet. (This sketch ends with an announcer entering the scene and recommending the viewer to rewatch it while stoned and listening to Pink Floyd's ''The Dark Side of the Moon''.)
Line 30:
* The ''Donny & Marie'' variety show had a famous sketch, viewable at paullynde.info, in which [[Patty Maloney]] wants to sell her house and Paul Lynde is the real estate agent. The latter half of the sketch is packed with shout-outs to ''The Wizard of Oz''.
* On ''[[Sliders]]'' the group once went to see The Sorcerer.
* On ''[[The Suite Life On Deck]]'', when Bailey is knocked unconscious in the basement of her home after an argument with Cody and Moose in Kettlecorn, Kansas after a tornado in, well, "[[Exactly What It Says
* An episode of ''[[Mc Gee And Me]]'', "Twister and Shout", did it with the animated McGee character as a genderflipped Dorothy. There was a part about searching for 'the eye of the storm', which had a literal eye in this case.

* The De La Soul music video for "Oooh" (from their 2000 album, "AOI: Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump") was a ghetto version of ''The Wizard of Oz''. In the video, a woman with a chihuahua in her purse is denied access to a club (by [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Dave Chappelle]], using the voice he uses for his crackhead characters on ''[[Half Baked]]'' and ''[[
* [[Blues Traveler]] have a [[Wizard of Oz]] parody in the video "Runaround".
* Appropriate for a singer with an album called "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", [[Elton John]]'s video for "[[Original Sin]] has [[Mandy Moore]] as a girl who dreams she's attending a 1970's Elton show, after meeting a Glinda-like Good Witch.

* Before ''The Muppets' Wizard of Oz'', there was a ''Wizard of Oz'' medley in ''The Muppets Go to the Movies'' with Miss Piggy as Dorothy, Scooter as the Scarecrow, Gonzo as the Tin Man; and Fozzie as the Lion. (The last two reprised the roles in ''Muppets' Wizard of Oz'', which had Kermit as the Scarecrow and [[Lions and Tigers

* ''[[South Park]]'' had a [[Whole-Plot Reference]] to ''The Wizard of Oz'' without being an out-and-out parody, when the boys went to see the Prime Minister of Canada to gete Kyle's baby brother Ike back.

* One of the ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' shorts from the early 1980s had a [[Dream Sequence]] in which Shaggy was the Scarecrow, Scrappy was the Tin Man and Scooby was the Cowardly Lion. Daphne was absent in this period, so Dorothy wasn't represented.
