  • Andor: The funeral march's confrontation against the Imperial troops leading to a street battle, invokes the demonstrators march, also accompanied with musicians, from Doctor Zhivago; but Inverted, in that the Czar's cossacks were expecting and ready for the demonstrators which results in a massacre, while the Imperials on Ferrix are caught off-guard and underprepared against all the locals seething and ready to erupt and brawl. Also, just as the film's atrocity was prelude to war that would destroy the Czar/Emperor and Imperial Russia, events in Andor are prelude to war that will destroy the Galactic Empire and Emperor Palpatine.
  • In the Dragnet 1967 episode "The Grenade," Friday and Gannon answer a call at a theater showing Doctor Zhivago.
  • Sports Night: In the first season finale, "What Kind of Day has it Been?", a Running Gag is Dana wanting to take a picture of the staff with the new camera she's bought, which Jeremy is skeptical about:
    Dana: This is called an owner's manual, my friend, and I have read it cover to cover.
    Jeremy: I've read Doctor Zhivago cover to cover. Doesn't make me the czar.
