Line 357:
* On ''[[Oz]],'' the prisoners are often shown watching ''Miss Sally's Schoolyard'' and lusting after the buxom children's show host. Also a type 3 in that stalking the buxom show host is why Busmalis {{spoiler|gets caught and returned to Oz after an escape attempt.}}
* ''Tides of the Heart'' was a soap opera that was originally just watched by the characters on ''[[Shortland Street]]'', at least until it was revealed that a character who had previously been [[Put on a Bus]] was now the star of the show. The aforementioned character's best friend eventually received a gig on the show as a writer, though this all occurred offscreen.
* ''[[Inspector Spacetime]]'', an affectionate ''[[Doctor Who]]'' parody - and ''Cougarton Abbey'', a fictional British progenitor of ''[[Cougartown]]'' in the style of ''[[Downton Abbey]]'' were mentioned on the season 3 premiere of the NBC sitcom ''[[Community]]''.
* Every episode of ''[[Twitch City]]'' was titled after that episode's subject of ''The Rex Reilly Show'', a [[Take That]] on Jerry Springer that shows up at least in a short promotional.
* The residents of ''[[Brookside]]'' would often watch ''The Magic Rabbits''.
Line 367:
* On ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', ''[[The Wedding Bride]]''. The other characters in the show (other than Ted) are fans of the movie. This is also an example of Type 1 and 3 as it was made by a character in the show and it is a plot point.
** Since it's a twisted version of what actually happened to Ted, it's also an example of type 4!
* Dean Winchester of ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' is a big (though secret) fan of the ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''-like ''Dr. Sexy, MD''.
* In an unusual case, a real show was the show-within-a-show on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' -- Spike was a fan of the [[Soap Opera]] ''[[Passions]]'', and was shown watching -- or trying to watch -- it on several occasions.
