 The 1973 film adaptation of Peter Nichols's 1969 play, features a send-up of a typical American hospital soap-opera being shown on a television situated in an underfunded, unmistakably British NHS hospital.The Jim Carrey film "The Truman Show" is about a person who grows to adulthood without ever realizing that he is the unwitting hero of the immersive eponymous television show.In "Toy Story 2", the lead character Woody learns that he was based off the lead character of the same name of a 50s Western show known as Woody's Roundup, which was seemingly cancelled due to the rise of Sputnik and children wanting to play with space toys like Buzz Lightyear.
