Line 183:
* The cartoon ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' used a variation of this as its premise; California teenager Kevin Keene was trapped in Videoland, whose reality encompassed pretty much every Nintendo-licensed NES game.
* A variation is used in the ''[[Rugrats]]'' episode "Kid TV": When the television set breaks, the babies climb into a cardboard box and make their own shows, which they're randomly running in and out of by the end: a game show, a soap opera, a [[Perfume Commercial]], a [[James Bond]]-esque show commercial, the news, and a COPS spoof.
* ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'' did this in the episode "Spins a Web", where the class entered a [[The Fifties|Fifties]] [[Sci-Fi]] flick about a town being terrorized by a [[Attack of the 50
* The first half of the ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' episode "Twitching Channels" follows this plot, as Darkwing chases his [[Psycho Electro|electricity-themed enemy]] Megavolt through the fictional universes of many [[Show Within a Show|TV shows]]. The second half of the episode becomes a [[Welcome to The Real World]] plot, as Darkwing and Megavolt both discover that they themselves are just TV show characters in our universe.
* The 70s ''[[Superfriends]]'' did it at least twice, in one episode the Legion of Doom put them into random fairy tales, in the other Mr Mxylpic puts them in "The Wizard of Oz" with Aquaman as the Scarecrow, Supes as the Tinman and Wonder Woman as the Cowardly Lion.
