Line 115:
** The U-62 schedule lists a few other shows-within-a-show that exist only as fictional [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie|cinema trailers]] or else don't exist at all, usually with bizarre titles like ''[[Hide Your Gays|Those Darn Homos!]]'' Effectively, the [[Ultra High Frequency|station]] is merely a [[Framing Device]] used to package a random string of short comedy/parody sketches as a feature-length film.
* Likewise, ''[[Network]]'' (1976) has the UBS network newscast, complete with "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!" editorialising, as a show within a show.
* The Japanese [[Sleeper Hit]] ''[[One Cut of the Dead]]'' is a cheesy low-budget horror movie about a film crew ''making'' a cheesy low-budget horror movie, which is titled... ''One Cut of the Dead''. A lot of meta humor here.

Line 494:
** ''Love Choice'' a teen romance where the female lead is torn between a [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]. (Watching the show throws all of Wartwood into a shipping war.)
** ''Printhistle Manor'', watched by the Plantars in season 3 while staying with Anne's folks, resembles ''[[Downton Abbey]]''.
** ''Judge Julie'', watched
* ''[[DC Super Hero Girls]]'' has ''Just Before Dusk'', a romantic tear-jerker that all the Hero Girls like. According to Night Sting (Karen's scary future self) this movie had at least 16 sequels, the 16th set in [[After The End| a post-apocalyptic]] setting. Night Sting claims the franchise "Goes into some strange directions."
