 * In the American comedy {{wi|Community (TV series)|Community}}, the character {{iw|community-sitcom|Abed Nadir}} compares himself to various science fiction characters in "Critical Film Studies" (2011), including [[K9]], while describing himself as a dispassionate observer of those around him. In one episode of Season 4, Abed wears a TARDIS shirt. Additionally to these direct references, starting in "Biology 101" (2011), ''Community'' would make frequent references to the fictional TV show ''[[Inspector Spacetime]]'', an obvious parody of ''Doctor Who''. A British programme, ''Inspector Spacetime'' is said to be the oldest sci-fi show on television, dating from 1962, centring around "The Inspector" and his companion, who travel through time and space in a red telephone booth. The main recurring villains are mechanical Dalek-like creatures named Blorgons, and a brief glimpse of the opening credit sequence is strikingly similar to the ''Doctor Who'' credits from the [[Russell T Davies]] era.
 * Marvel's {{wi|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.}} has made a number of references to ''Doctor Who.''
