* The ''[[Scrubs (TV)|Scrubs]]'' episode "My Way Home", contains many [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]. It's starts with J.D. listening to Toto. When he arrives at the hospital, the Janitor has painted different routes on the hallways, with yellow (yellow brick road) leading to the exit. He also as a prank spray paints J.D.'s sneakers red, in reference to the ruby red slippers. Dr. Cox calls J.D. "Dorthy" and his only goal now is to get out of the hospital so that he can spend what is supposed to be his day off at home. Eliot as the Scarecrow (needing brains to give a lecture); Turk as the Tin Man (needing a heart for surgery - but also empathy with the couple whose son might be a donor); and Carla as the Lion (needing the courage to talk to Turk about having kids). Other characters were more mix'n'match, with both Dr Cox and Dr Kelso as the Wizard, and a one-off gag with Jordan as the Wicked Witch.

* 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.

** ''[[Mad TV]]'' had another ''Wizard of Oz'' parody where Dorothy (Nicole Parker) is caught in a hurricane (as she's now living in Florida) and ends up in Oz. Now [[Genre Savvy]], she clicks her heels to return home and not have to go through the plot again -- until hurricanes keep bringing her back to Oz and crushing members of the Lollipop Guild.
