Homage is the deliberate recreation of one work of fiction within the context of another. Usually this is done for comedic effect, but occasionally it is serious. Sometimes it's both. A Homage is an extended sequence, significantly more than a simple Shout-Out, but does not actually constitute a Crossover even when (as in the case of several 1980s/90s Brady Bunch Homages) some of the original stars recreate their roles. (The memory of "A Very Brady Episode" of Day By Day, where an obviously pregnant Maureen McCormick reprised her role as "Marcia", comes to the writer's mind.)

  • Homage is the deliberate recreation of one work of fiction within the context of another. Usually this is done for comedic effect, but occasionally it is serious. Sometimes it's both.

(The memory of "A Very Brady Episode" of Day By Day, where an obviously pregnant Maureen McCormick reprised her role as "Marcia", comes to the writer's mind.) Sometimes -- especially when the Homage is blatant, or is part of a comedy series -- it's All Just a Dream. But sometimes it's a weird or haunting reflection of the original series that is a native part of the "reality" of the show in which it is found. If a series is doing anything deliberately evocative of its own past then it is an Internal Homage.
