== [[Comic Books]] ==
* "The Long Road Home"; a ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' [[Elseworld]] with Lightning Lass as Dorothy; Brainiac 5 as the Scarecrow; Wildfire as the Tin Man; Timber Wolf as the Cowardly Lion; Starfinger as the Wicked Witch; White Witch as the Good Witch (duh!); and Mon-El as the Wizard. Actually included some elements of [[Land of Oz|the later books]], such as Ayla's friends being transformed into ornaments (as happened in the Nome King's castle).
Line 18:
* The ''[[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.
* One of the many parodies in the 200th episode of ''[[Stargate SG-1|Stargate SG 1]]''. Vala as Dorothy; Mitchell as the Scarecrow; Teal'c as the Tin Man; Daniel as the Lion; Carter as the Good Witch; and Landry as the Wizard.
* There was a [[Dream Sequence]] of this on the 1980s TV series ''[[Fame
* ''[[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.
Line 34:
== [[Literature]] ==
* [[Larry Niven]] has written that he did this unintentionally when writing his novel ''[[Ringworld]]''.
== [[Music]] ==
* The De La Soul music video for "Oooh" (from their 2000 album,
* [[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.
