Line 33:
* ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' – whose one-time theme song is the [[Trope Namer]], used in full irony here.
* ''[[Funky Winkerbean]]'' – originally a gag-a-day newspaper comic about high school students that has since evolved into an episodic strip replete with recurring story lines about illness, death and other tragic events, takes place in the fictitious suburb of "Westview." Spin-off comic ''[[Crankshaft]]'' is also based in a similar suburb of "Centerville."
* ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' never referred to when the strip took place by name, yet, the winter landscapes and occasional shout-outs would reflect Bill Watterson's youth and residence in Northeast Ohio.<ref>One strip had Calvin's family visiting a natural history museum with a similar landmark to Cleveland's natural history museum, and the back cover of one Cavlin and Hobbes treasury had a giant Calvin terrorizing the public square of Chagrin Falls.</ref>.
* Overton from ''[[Sereis/Living Single|Living Single]]''
* [[Marvel Universe|Marvel]] superheroine Dagger (of ''Cloak and Dagger'' fame) is from Shaker Heights, a wealthy suburb in the East Side.
