Bill Haverchuck as Jaime Sommers The Bionic Woman

His fellow trick-or-treaters may have been unimpressed with Bill's get-up, but this easily hovers near the top of our list of our all-time favorite TV character Halloween costumes. Martin Starr's performance as the comically low-key Bill was always brilliant, but never more so than the scene in which he imagines what Jaime Sommers would wear, carefully applies her makeup (complete with a tissue blotting of the lips after putting on lipstick), carries on a phone conversation, as Jaime, with imaginary Oscar Goldman, and turns down a marriage proposal from Steve "The Six Million Dollar Man" Austin. God, we still miss this show.

Meta much, TV land? No worries, there's absolutely nothing wrong with TV characters paying homage to other TV characters, even if it does still blow our minds a little that mystery novelist Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) dressed up like a "space cowboy" — i.e. Mal Reynolds, a character also played by Fillion, on the beloved cult classic Firefly — on that Season 2 episode of Castle.

That, in fact, might be among the most meta moments in TV history, but the Firefly/Castle pseudo-crossover is far from the only self-referential TV moment up in here. Click through this slideshow to see a few of our favorite instances of TV characters dressing up like other TV characters to celebrate All Hallow's Eve.
