Before he got famous with ST:TNG, Brent Spiner had a delightful, recurring role on Night Court. He played hillbilly Bob Wheeler in some of the show's funniest episodes, along with Annie O'Donnell, who played his wife, June. Both reprised those roles on this week's *new) Night Court. I don't know if that counts as an Easter Egg; maybe it's more of a clapback. But it was fun. George

I watched Time Cop, but it was a long time ago, and Elliott Ness was not the main character (might have been a guest star). George

Assuming I was wrong about Portlandia, I've got no problem with someone else (WW) moving this on. George

Never watched it, but I've heard of it: Portlandia? Portland is IN the title. George

One problem is, I don't watch any reality shows, so that eliminates several of the clues. Maybe it's one of those "Housewives of..." shows. The last clue reminds me of "Murphy Brown," but that wasn't a legal show and went several seasons. Just not getting it. Sorry. George

JWS did play a character by that name, but none of the others. George

Eh-guh-guh-guh-guh Popeye. "You got some 'splainin' to do!" George

Of course. Always addressing some misguided girl. George

I love Felicia. George

"Poor, deluded child." George

Unfortunately, NYC has a LOT of professional sports teams (two baseball, two basketball, one or two football, depending on how you count the Jets), so it really shouldn't be the setting, here. I still have nothing. George

Just knowing the story of Red Riding Hood, I suppose I could see it as a horror movie, but not with a love triangle. George

That's it. Her comment: "The leg is mightier than the thumb." George

Correct. George

And it is. The first quote was from "The Misfits"; the second from "It Happened One Night"; and the really obvious third one from "Gone with the Wind." George

"Honey, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dyin's as natural as livin'. The man who's too afraid to die is too afraid to live." "Well, it is simple. lt's all in that old thumb, see? Some people do it like this. Or like this. All wrong. Never get anywhere. The poor things. But that old thumb never fails. lt's all a matter of how you do it, though. Now you take No. 1, for instance. That's a short jerky movement, like this. That shows independence. You don't care if they stop or not. You got money. Clever. No. 2, that's a little wider movement. Smile goes with this one, like this. That means you got a brand-new story about the farmer's daughter." "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." George

"Animal House" "1.21 gigawatts! 1.21 gigawatts. Great Scott!" George

Michael Keaton. The last is from "Batman." I don't recognize the others. George

Say my name! George

OK. Must be Pokemon. Never watched it (or played it). George

Apparently not so easy. George

Mark Strong John Glover Djimon Hounsou George

"Luke, I'm your father!" "I tied my own shoes once. It is an highly over-rated experience." "Yes, Simba, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." George

Close enough. "When a Stranger Calls." Based on an urban legend from the 50s. George

Neither of those. It was "Black Adam." A kid he meets tells him he needs a cool tagline for when he sends a bad guy to the underworld. So he says it AFTER he kills a guy. The kid tells him "Tagline first, then kill." I figured there was a reasonable chance that at least WW would get it, if not Raf, too. "Listen to me. We've traced the call... it's coming from inside the house." George
