Nice call.
The protagonist of True Romance is an LCS clerk, and a couple of the early scenes are in the LCS. It's one of the great comic-book movies.

In the video for George Harrison's "Crackbox Palace" there is a large cut-out of Batman in the background in one of the indoor scenes. I think it might be Neal Adams art.

There's a lot of newer stuff, obviously. I believe Big Bang Theory has maybe made a reference to comics once or twice. The comic adaptation of Castle was referenced (and shown) on the show. I think CASTLE has mentioned comics characters several times, to illustrate how nerdy the author is, despite his good looks and previous marital history. At least one show even had the characters meet a would-be superhero. Can't recall particular mentions. MARY TYLER MOORE included a sequence in which Mary, trying to entertain a bored little girl, recited pretty accurately the story of Wonder Woman's encounter with "Egg Fu," even referencing the villain's infamous "mustache tlap." |

On Manhattan last week, one of the Manhattan Project scientists mentioned that the rotten way everything was going in the world, the next horrible thing would be if SUPERMAN comics would stop publishing.
Then they all ate magic mushrooms.

The new cop show MYSTERIES OF LAURA had the lady cop star (Debra Messing) encounter a psycho who tries to rape her, first pulling off his shirt and revealing claw-marks on his chest. Before she takes him down she says something like, "This is not gonna happen. Not with a guy with Wolverine scars!" Aside from Big Bang Theory, that's the first time I've seen Wolvy referenced in a non-fantasy-genre show.
Even though LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES made it to cartoons, I have a feeling that's one that has never made the crossover into the Big Time.

Wolverine has appeared on some sketches on the Australian sketch comedy show You're Skitting Me, although it's more likely they were referencing the X-Men movies than the comics.

I also recall there was a MASH episode that showed Radar reading comics, one of which was a silver age Avengers. Since MASH was set during the Korean War (early 50's), somebody screwed up. Sorry, to mention this - you are so right on this and I was shaking my head in disbelief and I remember that show vividly in my head. Man, this is one big goof on the part of MASH. I say a COLOSSAL goof! |
