* ''Literature/TheWomanInTheWindow'' by A.J. Finn is pretty much ''Film/RearWindow'' meets ''Film/{{The Girl on the Train}}.'' The story is about an agoraphobic alcoholic woman who thinks she sees a murder across the street.

Added example(s)

Added DiffLines:

* The ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' episode "Mrs Crabtree's Neighbourhood" has Effie Crabtree break her leg hanging windchimes, and begin noticing strange activity by her neighbour, including that he buried something in the back yard. Murdoch and Julia are sympathetic, but the fact she's a bit loopy from the morphine doesn't exactly help her case.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'' did a Rear Window Homage called "The Lives of Others" for their 100th episode. This is especially notable, as [[spoiler: the situation was set up in-universe as a birthday present to give an injured Castle a fun mystery to work through while he recovered.]]

* When Reese from ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' gets shot in the leg and abdomen, he doesn't get time off: he gets installed in a hotel and tasked with monitoring his neighbors. He's assisted by Finch, who, while decidedly less attractive than Grace Kelly, fills the inexperienced-and-nonthreatening role perfectly. The final confrontation even features a [[spoiler: crutch duel]].

The final confrontation even features a [[spoiler: crutch duel]]. Also, no murder takes place, as Finch and Reese are only there because a violent crime has been ''predicted'' to occur around one of the neighbors.
