* ''Series/QuantumLeap'': "To Catch a Falling Star" sees Sam leaping into an understudy for the title role in a musical adaptation of the story. His mission is pretty simple (save the {{Jerkass}} lead from falling and breaking his neck), but encountering a crush from his childhood and seeing her getting mixed up with said jerkass cause Sam to take stock of his situation. He bemoans how living bits and pieces of other people's lives and solving their problems essentially makes him Don Quixote. Ultimately, Sam saves the lead and gets to go on in his place, with the closing scenes showing a montage of scenes. Being ResignedToTheCall right before the leap, he shares this exchange with Al.
-->'''Al:''' You gonna be all right?\\
'''Sam:''' What matter wounds to the body of knight-errants? For each time he falls, he shall rise again and woe to the wicked! Al?\\
'''Al:''' Here, Your Grace.\\
'''Sam:''' My armor, my sword.\\
'''Al:''' More misadventures?\\
'''Sam:''' Adventures, old friend.

[[spoiler:As the article progresses, it is revealed Alonso Quijano and Sancho themselves were brought to life, with 4028 being Quijano himself rampaging through each exposed story... or so it seems. It turns out the SCP Foundation got ahold of and hired the ''actual'' Quijano, who has spent centuries living with the shame of his actions from the book and changed his name to Pierre Menard. 4028 is therefore in truth ''Sancho'', who wants to rescue Menard from the Foundation against his will. Menard believes he deserves nothing but his post of vanquishing anomalies like him after so long and repeatedly yells at Sancho to go back even as he comes close to dying in his pursuit, but [[BittersweetEnding he relents and decides to humor his old squire like in the old times, tilting at a La Mancha wind farm in the real world]]]].

* Don Quixote is the full name of one of the Sinners in ''VideoGame/LimbusCompany''; a cheerful young woman who speaks in an antiquated accent and has an [[CuteBruiser incredible aptitude for violence]]. Instead of being obsessed with knights, she's obsessed with mercenaries called Fixers whom she idealizes as heroes (a thing other characters note to be delusional at best) and her attempts at acting heroically often put the rest of the group in incredible amounts of danger. Her [[LimitBreak E.G.O]] is called Blood of Sancho after Don Quixote's companion, and she nicknames her raggedy shoes after Rocinante, Don Quixote's lame horse.

->"Suppose I was a knight," [Prince Dolor] said to himself; "then I should be obliged to ride out and see the world."\\
But he kept all these thoughts to himself, and just sat still, devouring his new books till he had come to the end of them all. It was a repast not unlike the Barmecide's feast which you read of in the ''Arabian Nights'', which consisted of very elegant but empty dishes, or that supper of Sancho Panza in ''Don Quixote'', where, the minute the smoking dishes came on the table, the physician waved his hand and they were all taken away.
