It seems that St. Elsewhere is not the only show that seems to
reference other shows. A few weeks ago, there was an episode of
Misfits of Science (henceforth, Misfits) that was constantly
making fun of Miami Vice (e,g, before they did something, Billy
and L commented that they had to change their shirts so they
wouldlook like the people on the next show, or something like
that). Anyway, Friday (12/6) nights episode was also referential
-- this time to shows like the 6$M man and mission impossible.
They even used the mission impossible theme music, had constant
voiceover narration, had a bionic man (who was increadibly
stupid), a tape recorded message with instructions (which got
screwed up), and the bionic man's boss was Oscar.

I wonder where else this will be beginning to show up.

Daniel.
