4. The Big Bang Theory

With The Big Bang Theory revolving around a group of geeks who frequently reference different pop-culture properties, it would almost be a crime if Doctor Who didn't make the cut.

Thankfully then, Sheldon and the gang deliver, with the show dropping numerous Doctor Who easter eggs throughout its impressive 12-season run.

In fact, there are almost too many examples to mention: there's Stuart's Fourth Doctor cosplay in season four's The Justice League Recombination; Penny, Amy, Sheldon, and Leonard watching a Doctor Who episode in season five's The Beta Test Initiation (along with Sheldon mentioning a Doctor Who convention called "Who-Con"); and Vincent van Gogh's exploding TARDIS painting appearing in season six's The Bakersfield Expedition.

And of course, there are obligatory cameos from the TARDIS and the Daleks.

Again, The Big Bang Theory is a treasure trove of pop-culture nods, and Doctor Who fans are served some of those delicious easter eggs on a regular basis.

If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
