* ''Series/{{Gigantic}}'': the TeenNick show about the teenage children of celebrities.

* Brilliantly spoofed in an episode of ''Series/StargateSG1'', "200", with a scene showing SG-1 recasted with "[[YoungerAndHipper younger, edgier actors]]" -- one of whom is a young Cory Monteith, who [[HeyItsThatGuy went on to star]] in an ''[[Series/{{Glee}} actual]]'' [[Series/{{Glee}} teen show]]. A lot of fans took it as a [[AffectionateParody light-hearted crack]] at ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'', given the similarities between the parody and the new ''BSG''. Nowadays, this parody is often used as a TakeThat towards ''Series/StargateUniverse'' in certain sections of the fandom, as [[HilariousInHindsight much of that stuff was actually present]] in ''SGU''.

* ''{{Privileged}}''. Although the twins are not the main characters, their actions and crises drive a lot of the plot.

* ''TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager''

* ''MyMadFatDiary''

* ''Webcomic/Homestuck'' suddenly shifts from a GenreBusting series with a mix of sci-fi, [[NightmareFuel horror]] and [[BlackComedy comedy]] to a mostly slow TeenDrama-filled (though still filled with humor and horror elements) [[ArcFatigue Act 6]]. Knowing [[TrollingCreator Andrew Hussie]], this was likely intentional.

* ''Series/{{Glee}}'', which also doubles as a musical

* ''Series/{{Reign}}''

* ''JoanOfArcadia'''s [[SecondSeasonDownfall second season]].

* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' - Even if they are [[PettingZooPeople cats and dogs.]]

** ''Series/{{Degrassi}}[[strike:[[ArtifactTitle : The Next Generation]]]]''

* ''Series/GossipGirl''

* ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'', which [[AdaptationDisplacement started out as]] [[Literature/PrettyLittleLiars a book series]].

* ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'': [[OlderThanTheyThink Just goes]] [[JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples to show...]]

** Nowadays, this parody is often used as a TakeThat towards ''Series/StargateUniverse'' in certain sections of the fandom, as [[HilariousInHindsight much of that stuff was actually present]] in ''SGU''.
** Also of note: the guy playing Teen!Mitchell [[HeyItsThatGuy went on to star]] in an ''[[Series/{{Glee}} actual]]'' [[Series/{{Glee}} teen show]].
* ''Moody's Point'', the hilariously over-the top ''DawsonsCreek'' parody on ''TheAmandaShow''.
* ''Teen Canyon'' is another ShowWithinAShow ''DawsonsCreek''-like parody, this time on Disney's animated series ''TheWeekenders''.
* ''TheOC'' had a ShowWithinAShow called "The Valley". The characters frequently made remarks about it that [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] some of the cliches teen dramas (including ''Series/TheOC'' itself) exhibited.

** ''MadTV'' had one memorable sketch entitled [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH6OUmsPA0I "Pretty White Kids With Problems"]], which was [[TropeNamer the inspiration]] for this trope's [[PrettyWhiteKidsWithProblems alternative name]].
** ''SaturdayNightLive'', during Creator/BlakeLively's hosting gig, parodied ''GossipGirl'' with [[http://www.hulu.com/watch/113211/saturday-night-live-gossip-girl-staten-island a spinoff set in Staten Island]] (for those who "hate the sophistication of Manhattan").
* Heavily spoofed, along with teen movie cliches, by ''NotAnotherTeenMovie''.
* ''PennyArcade'' gave us this gem: what would ''StarWars'' be like [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/04/27/ if it was a WB TV show]]?
* ''CloneHigh''.
* ''StrangersWithCandy'' was a parody of both this and [[VerySpecialEpisode after-school specials]]. Most of the usual high school problems ("Am I cool? Should I rat out my friend?") belonged to the forty-six-year-old freshman main character and her teachers, while the teenage students were usually the [[OnlySaneMan only sane ones]]. There's also at least one horrible SpoofAesop per episode.
* A ''PennyAndAggie'' strip parodied social networking sites and online media mergers by imagining them as [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=680 teen drama characters]].
* ''SonnyWithAChance'' has ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxiftGfU8zQ&feature=related Mackenzie Falls]]''.

* ''TotalDramaIsland'' parodies both teen dramas and {{reality show}}s.
* Parodied in the first episode of ''SymBionicTitan'' with "High School Heights", an over-the-top drama where teens are making out in every shot and a character's dark secret is his inability to read, airing on "The WC".
* ''FamilyGuy'' did it.

* ''SouthOfNowhere'': A TeenNick drama. Unusual because it had a 30 running time for the most part.

* ''MySoCalledLife'' was a {{deconstruction}} of the over-the-top teen dramas of TheNineties. It is also considered a classic of the genre, despite [[ShortRunners lasting only one season]].

* ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks''. Made by future comedy overlord Creator/JuddApatow, and stars many actors that went on to be famous through his movies. [[TooGoodToLast Lasted only one season]], but became a CultClassic in the process.

* ''JoanOfArcadia'''s [[SecondSeasonDownfall second season]], thanks to ExecutiveMeddling that wound up [[TooGoodToLast killing the show]].

* ''MySoCalledLife'' was a {{deconstruction}} of the over-the-top teen dramas of TheNineties. It is also considered a classic of the genre, despite [[TooGoodToLast lasting only one season]].

* ''BlueWaterHigh''

* ''GossipGirl''
