Where To Watch
Can you guess what other shows these TV characters are referencing?
These parodies, homages and cameos prove TV characters are also TV fans!
The people who create television are also some of its biggest fans. Writers and producers will sneak in little references to others shows, maybe as a way to promote another series on the same network or maybe just to show how much they like a particular character or actor.
Here are ten references, jokes and homages made by TV characters about completely separate shows. Can you guess which program each one is referencing?

5 out of 10, I didn't also know that there's a Batman reference in Adams Family btw
in some of the episodes of Batman if he was climbing up the side of a building a star would appear out of a open window Lurch just happened to be the star of that episode.
10/10 I watched WAY too much TV when I was younger.
