* In ''[[w:c:youngjustice:Insecurity|Insecurity]]'', a [[March]] [[2012]] episode of ''[[w:c:youngjustice:Young Justice|Young Justice]]'', a [[police box]], clearly looking like [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], is seen as one of the ends of a [[w:c:youngjustice|Zeta-Beam]] conduit. A character enters the box and teleports to [[w:c:youngjustice:the Cave|the Cave]], the main setting for the heroes of the series. The design of the police box is comparatively detailed. It looks like the TARDIS as seen in ''[[The War Machines]]'', because it bears an "out of order" sign. It's unclear how [[Warner Bros.]] would have been able to use the police box design legally. The appearance was not clearly parodic nor was it even historically accurate. The scene was set in America and the DC universe had never previously established the existence of British police boxes in the United States. | * In ''[[w:c:youngjustice:Insecurity|Insecurity]]'', a [[March]] [[2012]] episode of ''[[w:c:youngjustice:Young Justice|Young Justice]]'', a [[police box]], clearly looking like [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], is seen as one of the ends of a [[w:c:youngjustice|Zeta-Beam]] conduit.

* In ''Nightshifter'', an episode of the series ''Supernatural'', a character is convinced that a "mandroid" is responsible for several crimes and holds up a magazine with a [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|Cyberman]] on its cover to illustrate his point. | * In ''Nightshifter'', an episode of the series ''Supernatural'', a character is convinced that a "mandroid" is responsible for several crimes and holds up a magazine with a [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|Cyberman]] on its cover to illustrate his point.

* In the television cartoon, ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'', there is a recurring background pony named Time Turner who bears a resemblance to The Tenth Doctor. In the episode "The Super Speedy Cider Sqeezy 6000", Time Turner can be seen wearing a tie similar to the tenth doctor's and operating an elaborate hourglass. Another reference is seen on one of the covers of the official comic, in which Time Turner can be seen wearing the 4th Doctor's scarf, holding the FOB watch, and standing in front of a statue that resembles a Weeping Angel, and a street light that bears a resemblance to the TARDIS. On top of all his official trading card says "Time Turner keeps Ponyville's clocks in sync, sets the hourglass for cider competitions, and takes care of all things timey-wimey.". In the episode "One Bad Apple", Time Turner wears a pear costume and a polka-dotted bowtie. | * In the television cartoon, ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'', there is a recurring background pony named Time Turner who bears a resemblance to The Tenth Doctor.
