** Mary Tyler Moore plays morning show host Christine St. George and references the scene in the "Mary Tyler Moore Show" when she is hired by Lou Grant, a scene in which Lou Grant tells Mary, "You got spunk!" When Christine St. George hires Jackie, she says, "I like you. You've got sss...spirit. No, m-moxie, yes mo... Wait, no, it's... it's gumption. Oh, there's a word for it and I can't think what it is!" At the end of that same episode, Moore tosses Jackie's new beret and the screen freezes just like the opening of the "Mary Tyler Moore Show" (all be it angrily this time).

* In Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun, the first appearance of Creator/WilliamShatner as The Big Giant Head begins with The BGH coming off an airplane howling at the top his lungs. It turns out that during the whole flight the plane was [[spoiler: being disassembled in air by a gremlin]] just like in Shatner's appearance in [[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S5E3NightmareAt20000Feet the Twilight Zone episode he stars in]]. Creator/JohnLithgow played the same role in Film/TwilightZoneTheMovie, and his reply is an indignant, "The same thing happened to me!"
