TV Easter Eggs: Our Favorite Fan Shout-Outs From Shows

A favorite Easter Egg on Star Trek is the appearance--from the future's "Office of Temporal Investigations"--are two agents who investigate events that potentially contaminated the time line. (apparently Captain James T Kirk was the all-time champion of such events. "Seventeen separate temporal violations; the biggest file on record". "The man was a menace") The agents are "always on time."

In the Star Trek: Deep Space 9, episode, "Trials and Tribble-ations" the USS Defiant is thrown back into the past to meet up with Star Trek' The Original Episode's Enterprise. DS9 officers are interjected into the original episode's episode "The Trouble with Tribbles, replacing characters and trying to prevent a possible change to the time line by an undercover Klingon agent, from the original series. This DS9 episode names these two agents. They are: Dulmer and Lucsly, scrambled versions of the names of the two agents in the X-Files series (Mulder, and Scully).

My favorite was the star trek episode about Tribbles...

when he says "the trouble with tribbles.......I always giggle because their trouble is that they multiply like crazy!~
That always cracks me up!

My favorite was in a Halloween episode of "Castle", when Castle, played by Nathan Fillion comes out dressed as a "space cowboy" aka, his character, Capt. Mal Reynolds from "Firefly" and "Serenity".

in an episode of ncis, i think it was kate who asked gibbs what ducky looked like when he was younger. gibbs thought a moment & then said, "Illya Kuryakin." That was the name of the character david mc callum (ducky) played in the tv series "the man from u.n.c.l.e."

On an episode of NCIS , Ducky was asked what he looked like when he was young. His answer.."Illya Kuryakin". For you yongsters out there it was the role David McCallam played on The Man from U.N.C.L.E

I have to share my favorite: Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) of Stargate SG-1's shoutout to The Kid's In The Hall's character "Headcrusher", while he is watching Vala on a monitor in the episode Prometheus Unbound. " I crush your head", the words weren't even needed, his gesture said it all.

How far back will you go? St Elsewhere in the 80's. A guy in the psych ward thinks he is Mary Richards. There are two bald guys on the show he starts calling Murry and Lou. Then he walks past Betty White (who was playing a nurse on St. Elsewhere) and yells Sue Ann!

Actually one of my favorites when on "How I Met Your Mother'' there were numbers in the back in most cases and sometimes spoken by the actors themselves- a counting game of sorts- Not so noticable at first but soon you were looking for them- ---counting down from 50 --

On Deep Space Nine, Capt Cisco and his son, Jake, were on a modern version of the ancient Bajoran space traveling ships. Jake asked his dad about the beds in which they'd be sleeping. His dad said they'd be sleeping in hammocks. When it came time to set them up, Cisco says, "It is time to set the hammocks up." Jake quickly blurts out, "Hammock time!" This, of course, being a reference to the popular song at the time by MC Hammer.

My old favorite was on Fraiser when his first wife, Nanette, a children's character performer "Nanny G" visits Fraiser. She complains to Fraiser how much she is tired of her job. She asks Fraiser in an exasperated tone "Do you have any idea what its like to play the same character for 20 years?" The season this episode premiered marked the 20th anniversary of Kelsey Grammar playing as Fraiser Crane.
