* There was a ''Literature/BoneChillers'' episode called ''Romeo and Ghoulette''.
* ''Series/ElChapulinColorado'' had a few episodes parodying it, ([[AdaptationNameChange calling them "Juleo and Rumieta"]]), and altering the ending into a HappilyEverAfter.
* ''Series/FirstKill'': Cal appropriately compares her and Juliette (who even has the same name with a different spelling as Juliet) with ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', to the point that she quotes the play's prologue while they hide out in their school theatre. Being a legacy vampire and scion of vampire hunters respectively, they both note how much it applies to them. Comparisons continue to be made and the play often quoted throughout the rest of the first season.
* ''Series/{{Joey}}'': Joey says, "I did the soap thing, but I can be serious. 'Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?' That's Romeo."
