In the pilot of Star Trek: Voyager, Captain Janeway gives a speech and mentions "to seek out new worlds and explore space". While she's saying this, you can hear the opening sound of the Original Series in the background, which had the intro "to explore strange new worlds". A nice nod to TOS.

Lois and Clark: upside-down Chinese text
Been watching some nostalgic 90s faves but any time there's like an "Asian episode" the results can be good for a laugh and a cry. The mashing-up of Japanese and Chinese tropes, made-up scribbles on scrolls in the background, bowing and gongs...
Here on "Lois & Clark" S2 E11 the crew clearly went to the effort of making a physical sign, and to their credit got the Chinese text right... and then installed it upside down with apparently no one knowing the difference lol

"Kevin can f* himself" references Peter Boyle(of Everyone Loves Raymond)
"Kevin can f*ck himself" has a lot of similarities to "dumb dad" sitcoms like "Everyone Loves Raymond" and "King of Queens". The characters all have strong regional accents, are from a very specific and stereotypical East Coast region, the Father-in-law is always in the house, always have their dumb adult friend/brother, etc.
However, the father of the eponymous Kevin references a few times that he was formerly a priest. This is rather odd, until you realize that Peter Boyle who played the father character of the eponymous Raymond in "Everyone Loves Raymond" went to seminary for 3 years and almost became a Catholic monk. This seems to be an homage to the deceased actor Peter Boyle and a meta-reference
