The Return
The scene with Slade threatening to leave Oliver and Thea imprisoned in his cell on Lian Yu is a reference to , with the quote "I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her... marooned for all eternity...".

The Candidate
Jessica says she wants to take Moira Queen's place as mayor. On Star Trek Voyager, Jessica's actress Jeri Ryan played a Borg named Seven of Nine and Moira's actress Susanna Thompson played the Borg Queen. There were several episodes where it was said or insinuated that Seven of Nine wanted to take the Borg Queen's place.

Beacon of Hope
When Thea bursts into Felicity's office just after the latter's mother, she claims that they are like Tribbles, creatures from the Star Trek franchise which are known for their often-excessive reproduction rate. Additionally, when one of the mechanical bees enters Oliver's body and begins replicating, Curtis compares it to Borg, a group of aliens from the same franchise who forcibly transform individuals into drones by injecting nanoprobes into their bodies.

Lost in the Flood

Invasion!
Cisco refers to the stasis that the heroes are being kept in as "a little alien, a little Star Trek - J. J. Abrams style", referring to the 2009 film, , and its 2013 sequel, , both of which were directed by J. J. Abrams.

At the Movies
In their syndicated television program, Chicago-based film critics  and  reviewed all Star Trek feature films from  to . After Siskel's death in 1999,  replaced him on the show. Ebert and Roeper reviewed  in 2002.

Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman
's 1993 remake of the B-movie classic (featuring William Windom, Hamilton Camp, Hilary Shepard Turner, Stephen Rowe, Patricia Tallman, and Chris Doyle). The last scene features Harry Archer () and two other husbands in a spaceship, wearing costumes reminiscent of the TOS uniforms.

Attack of the Show!
The February 9, 2006 live episode of G4's Attack of the Show! aired a pre-recorded skit making a parody of Star Treks mirror universe. Kevin Pereira left his office cubicle and walked towards the studio, passing along the way various people doing their jobs, one putting up a poster for a blood drive, and two others shredding papers. Pereira entered the empty sound stage and, looking for something to do, walked through the mysterious door on the back of the set and entered into a bending and wavering corridor, at the opposite end of which one can see an identical door. Kevin went through to the other end into a seemingly identical sound stage and headed back out to the hall where the same employees were toiling away. Only, now they were sporting goatees and carrying out various acts of violence, one employee shredding another's arm in the paper shredder, and another hammering a bloodied animal onto the wall.

The skit cut to what was presumably that day's later live broadcast. Sarah, Wil, and Brendan were all on the couch answering chat questions. Sarah asks Kevin's answer to a chatter's question regarding the PS3 versus the Xbox 360. Wil hands him a mace upon which he goes to torture the chatter in a segment dubbed "Fresh Blood," in contrast to the normal show's "Fresh Ink." That bit references the fact that they are really tired of receiving that question, as they have mentioned in many shows. Kevin begins to torture the man exclaiming, "This evil world rules!"

Later in the real show, a chatter asked Kevin if he found the bearded Sarah sexy. He said yes, claiming that the entire alternate dimension was hotter, trying to make a joke from the fact that he has a goatee in real life. Another chatter asked if Kevin got away with anything in the alternate universe. Kevin claimed he was able to double-dip at the craft service table. (This was even more humorous, as no G4 shows had any form of craft services, only a break room with various forms of free canned sodas.)

Another episode features the USS AOTS (, no registry number) being attacked by a B'Rel-class Bird-of-Prey. Kevin, Olivia, and two unnamed engineering personnel try to fend off the attack, eventually leading up to the Bird-of-Prey's captain (Wil in Klingon makeup) making demands for a graphic with obscene narration. Despite Kevin apparently being the captain of the USS AOTS, Olivia accepts the demands because she has motion sickness.

Despite the exterior shots depicting a ship whose class was not commissioned until 2357, the uniforms are those from 2265.

Becker
Paramount Television produced sitcom for CBS Broadcasting, starring Star Trek: 30 Years and Beyond host Ted Danson and Terry Farrell. This was the show Farrell either left Deep Space Nine for, or became employed at, directly after she was fired/forced to leave/let go – reports on the exact circumstances under which this happened remain to this day unclear and contradictory.

In one episode of the series, Bob remarks that his ex-wife was "hit by more lasers than the Starship Enterprise."

Black Mirror
Debuting in December 2011 and set in the near future,  is a British Channel 4 produced cautionary tale anthology series in which present-day technological and socioeconomic developments and their impact on societies are scrutinized.

In this episode, the character Cooper upon being asked if he is ready to start a virtual reality simulation enthusiastically answers "beam me up, lock and load".

"USS Callister" (S04E01)
This episode is an overt Star Trek parody that uses an online game based on a classic TV show – called Space Fleet – to explore the theme of misogyny and cyberbullying.

After that episode debuted in December 2017, reports that a spinoff based on it was being discussed emerged in january 2017.   The viability of such a potential move was validated at the 2018 Emmy Award ceremonies, where this episode alone picked up six nominations out of eight in total for the entire fourth season, of which it won no less than four, including the most prestigious one in the category "Outstanding Television Movie".  This actually turned out to an embarrassment for the franchise it had drawn its inspiration from as the first season of  only secured two nominations in minor technical categories that year, despite an elaborate publicity campaign by CBS Broadcasting to achieve much more, and neither of which won.

Bones
Long-running crime series revolving around the unlikely partnership between the cocky and jaded FBI agent Seeley Booth and the emotionally detached forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, and like Star Treks Leonard McCoy, nicknamed "Bones" by Booth.

"The Resurrection in the Remains" (S11E05)
In this crossover episode with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci's show Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane angrily snarls "Do I look as though I have just beamed down from the planet Vulcan!?" when Hodgins comments on his 18th-century clothing.

Boston Legal 
Boston Legal is a legal comedy-drama that aired on ABC from  to . The series stars William Shatner in his Emmy-winning role as egotistical and sometimes senile attorney Denny Crane. Also starring in the series is Rene Auberjonois of  fame as Paul Lewiston.

Given Shatner's and Auberjonois' association with Star Trek, several Trek-related in-jokes have crept into the series. In addition, many actors (most having played aliens) who have guest-starred on Star Trek have popped up in guest roles. Trek regulars who have made appearances are Ethan Phillips, Jeri Ryan, Michelle Forbes, Scott Bakula, and Armin Shimerman; two actors who make numerous appearances (both as judges) are Ron Canada and Henry Gibson, while Joanna Cassidy had a recurring role as Shatner's love interest. John Larroquette (the Klingon Maltz in ST III) joined the Boston Legal cast in Season 4, having previously played an attorney, Dan Fielding, on Night Court.

"Finding Nimmo" 
In this episode, Denny takes his friend and fellow attorney, Alan Shore (played by ), to Nimmo Bay in Canada to get over a recent break-up. While staying the night in a cabin, Alan reads a book on sea lice and explains to Denny that the lice are called "cling-ons." Denny replies to this by asking "Did you say "Klingons?" The German translation of this episode is using a different wordplay in which Shore says "Dance on the ecological Vulcan" and Denny replies "Did you say Vulcan?".

"The Cancer Man Can"

Bottom 
In the fifth live show, "Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour", Eddie Hitler's time-traveling toilet, the TURDIS, is allegedly powered by a dilithium crystal; after wasting time with a meaningless questionnaire, he claims that he was "waiting for the dilithium crystal to reach optimum temperature".

Boy Meets World 
In a first season episode, Cory Matthews thinks that his teacher, Mr. Feeny, believes fellow classmate Stuart Minkus to be "the next Captain Kirkicard" (mistaking  for both James Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard.) In a second season episode, when Cory is given an assignment to do a biography on a person, he claims his "more interesting" subject will be "Captain James T. Kirk of the ." When his teacher, Mr. Turner, protests, he claims that "Captain Kirk is a fictional character. The guy is sixty-three years old and wears a tribble on his head."

In "Danger Boy", Mr. Feeny is clearly heard shouting "Warp factor ten, Mr. Sulu!" as the car for the most dangerous roller coaster built departs the station.

Breaking Bad

"Sunset" 
In the episode "Sunset" Walter White calls Saul Goodman for advice on getting rid of The RV. Saul asks Walter if he hasn't made any precautions. He says "Starship Enterprise had a self-destruct button, I'm just sayin'"

"Blood Money" 
In August 2013, the TV series Breaking Bad featured an extended conversation about Star Trek in the mid-season premiere, "Blood Money", of the show's fifth and final season. Characters Brandon "Badger" Mayhew and Skinny Pete (very stoned) discuss Star Trek, and Pete (while smoking from a bong) claims that every time a character uses the transporter, the original person is actually destroyed, and the transporter simply makes a perfect copy (a "color xerox") at the target location. This greatly disturbs Badger, who asks if this means there were something like 147 different Kirks during the run of the TV series, each of whom were killed and replaced by a duplicate when they used the transporter. Pete confirms this is exactly what he is saying, and cites that Dr. McCoy rarely uses the transporter because as a doctor, he knows what it actually does to people. 

Badger and Pete go on discussing Star Trek, and Badger describes an idea for a Star Trek script which he has had for a long time. In his script, the crew's mission has been boring and uneventful for some time, so they decide to hold a pie-eating contest in the mess hall – "tulaberry pies". Pete says that he doesn't know what tulaberries are, to which Badger responds "Tulaberries, from Gamma Quadrant, yo."  Pete sharply interjects "That's Voyager, dude."  Annoyed, Badger continues by saying, "Okay, blueberries. They're eating blueberry pie."

Badger goes on to explain that the pie-eating contest comes down to just Spock, Kirk, and Chekov. Pete thinks Kirk would have room to spare, but Badger insists that Spock is winning because of his heightened Vulcan metabolism. Kirk has to admit defeat, but the only other crewmember still in the contest besides Spock is Chekov. Ingeniously, Chekov and Scott collaborated to rig the contest, so as soon as Chekov eats a pie Scott uses the transporter to beam his stomach contents out into space, so he can eat an infinite amount of food. Spock is becoming very frustrated and doesn't understand how Chekov can keep eating. Unfortunately, Lt. Uhura then comes into engineering and Scott, distracted by her "pointies," hits the wrong button, and suddenly Chekov is vomiting up blood – Scott accidentally beamed his internal organs out into space as well.

Breaking In
Starring Christian Slater.

"Pilot"
Oz has the TOS Enterprise's captain's chair in his office. He says it was a gift from William Shatner for taking care of a stalker problem: Oz' Klingonese-speaking employee Cash, who is shown standing in Shatner's yard wearing a sciences blue TNG uniform.

Buck Rogers

Several names from Star Trek, most notably Captain Christopher Pike, can be heard in "background dialogue" (PA announcements, etc.) in several 1979 first season episodes.

In the first season two-part episode "The Plot to Kill a City", an "Aldebaran II spaceport" appeared, which was executed as a matte painting and created by future Star Trek Visual Effects Producer Dan Curry. The painting reappeared a short time later in the same season episode "Planet of the Amazon Women", co-written by former Original Series Producer DC Fontana, as the "Zantia spaceport". Later, Curry used his painting to create a slightly different version which was subsequently featured as the Relva VII Starfleet Academy facility, seen in The Next Generation first season episode , in effect becoming one of his very first contributions to the franchise.

The pilot feature that started off the Universal Studios television series, had been served by visual effects cameramen Hoyt Yeatman, Dave Stewart and Scott Squires, albeit uncredited. Also working on the pilot was Michele Small as production assistant as well as Curry's matte painting colleague Syd Dutton. Tim McHugh started out his Hollywood career on the series in a similar function as held by Small. Fully titled  and a remake of the studio's own 1930s serials, the series was intended as a replacement for Battlestar Galactica, the studio had cancelled the same year when Buck Rogers started its two-season run in 1979.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The makeup and prosthetics for this series (and its spin-off Angel) was done by Optic Nerve Studios, who later was contracted as such for .

In the season one episode "Prophecy Girl", Xander proclaims "I'm sorry, calm may work for Locutus of the Borg here, but I'm freaked out and I intend to stay that way."

In a season five episode, Xander also quotes James T. Kirk in saying "Kill us both, Spock" in a situation where he, like Kirk in , had been split into two beings.

In season six episode "Seeing Red", Willow and Tara explain to Buffy and Xander that they've deciphered all the documents from the "Stooges" (Warren Mears, Andrew Wells and Jonathan Levins) on everything except one document. Xander recognizes it as Klingon love poems.

Later, in the final season, after Xander has a bad date with a demon, he asks Willow to "gay him up."  He starts talking about attempting to fantasize about Scott Bakula, who another character dreamily identifies as Jonathan Archer.

Buiten de Zone
This Flemish-language Belgian TV series often parodied popular culture, including on a few occasions Star Trek.

"De Jongerenfoon"
Already in the first episode, "de jongerenfoon", an on-the-scene reporter reporting from the moon ends his report by saying "beam me up, Scotty" and being beamed away.

"Kitch en kunst"
The episode "Kitch en kunst" (Kitsch and art) parodies the perceived tendency of Flemish films to focus on farmers according to one character by showing, among other genres, a bit from a film described as science fiction: it shows "farmer Spock" piloting a harvester, and coming upon giant potatoes, which he reports by communicator to "farmer Scotty".

"Gevaar"
The episode "Gevaar" (Danger), features extended drug-induced hallucinations. At one point a character imagines herself to be Princess Leia from Star Wars, who is captured by Darth Vader aboard the Death Star, only to be rescued by an original series landing party including Mister Spock.

Bullyparade
This German comedy show featured a regular sketch entitled "Unser (T)Raumschiff" (Our Spaceship, with a pun on Traum meaning dream), which was a parody of the original Star Trek series (known as Raumschiff Enterprise in German), revolving around the misadventures of the starship Surprise, and its all gay crew, including Captain Kork, Mr. Spuck, Schrotti, etc. Its success led to the feature film spin-off (T)Raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1.

Beckett also describes the Nebula 9 character Lieutenant Chloe in terms that make her similar to Jadzia Dax. Jonathan Frakes, director of the episode, cameos at the beginning as a convention attendee getting Castle's autograph. The murderer also refers to a character in the show who was revived by an "Andorian empath".

Armin Shimerman puts in a cameo as a science-fiction gadget inventor, owner of the initially darkened premises Castle and Beckett enter, finding themselves caught in targeting laser beams, emulating a signature Borg scene as featured in .

"Deep Cover" (S06E12)

Childrens' Hospital

In the episode "Joke Overload", Captain Stern from the starship Navoa is admitted to the hospital from a "Starfleet event nearby" while being treated by Lieutenant D'Ghor Koru, a Klingon medical officer in a red uniform. Stern is eventually cured by a transducer unit implanted into his arm to fight the Borg techovirus.

La Forge downloads the VHS tape into the Enterprise computer, revealing a still photograph of Comic Relief hosts Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, and Whoopi Goldberg; however, Data and the rest of the crew mistakenly refer to her as "Whoo-pie."

When she ponders if "Whoo-pie" and Guinan are one and the same, the entire crew replies with "Nahhhh." As Data explains what the shirts were for (they were given out to donors to the Comic Relief pledgers), La Forge laments that the 50/50 cotton/polyester blend that comprised the shirts didn't interact well with the transporter, causing them to singe.

"Green Eyed Monster"
A star is referred to as Mintaka III.

"Losing Time"
Crichton nicknames a DRD (diagnostic repair drone) "DRD Pike," because he communicates with it using "one blink for yes, two for no," just as Pike did in "The Menagerie".

"Meltdown"
When a villain appears suddenly, Crichton asks him if he beamed in.

"Revenging Angel"
This episode was a mix of animation and live action, in which a cartoon D'Argo finds himself plastered to the front of the deflector dish of the  as it flies through space, at which point a Montgomery Scott-like voice notes that they've hit something. Later, Crichton compares himself to James T. Kirk, to which another character responds, "That was a television show, John. And he did Priceline commercials!"

"Crichton Kicks"
In this episode Crichton faces off against a group of pirates/scavengers. At one point he challenges them by shouting the phrase "Get the hell off of my ship!" in Klingon (the phrase was created using the actual Klingon language created by Marc Okrand). He remarks afterwards that the "translator microbes" (Farscapes equivalent of the universal translator) couldn't handle Klingon. He later also refers to the raiders as Klingon (and they do physically resemble Klingons).

For All Mankind
An alternate history series developed for streaming service Apple TV+ revolving around the premise that it was the Soviet Union that had won the spacerace by putting the first man on the Moon, instead of the USA. The series was conceived by its showrunner Ronald D. Moore who brought with him the writer/producer team he had previously worked with on Deep Space Nine and Battlestar Galactica, David Weddle and Bradley Thompson in addition to his personal production associate Maril Davis. Other former Star Trek production colleagues who later on joined the production team included Naren Shankar, Joe Menosky, Mike and Denise Okuda. Former Star Trek performers included David Gautreaux in a guest role, whereas Linda Park recurred in the second season as a newscaster.

Moore has stated in several interviews that as far as he was concerned, that his alternate history show was "(…)like the road to Star Trek. This is like the road that gets you to that kind of optimistic future where technology is our friend and where we solve a lot of the problems here on earth and we go forward as a better race".

"Hi, Bob" (S01E07)
Forced to rewatch a taped episode of The Bob Newhart Show over and over again during their long stay on the American moonbase Jamestown, astronaut Danielle Poole proves herself to be a hardcore "Trekkie", when she correctly identifies John Fiedler as a former guest star on The Original Series in the episode .

"The Weight" (S02E05)
After veteran NASA astronaut Ed Baldwin has ran into hot water with his wife Karen, he suggest as a goodwill gesture to go see the recently released Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan film. Karen confesses that she had already seen the film with their daughter while also, in a spiteful mood, dropping the "and then Spock dies" bomb.

"Triage" (SO2E09)
After tensions rise dramatically upon the assault by Soviets on the American moonbase, the planned goodwill coupling of the Apollo-Soyuz modules, both already in orbit around Earth, is seemingly put on hold forever, much to the frustration of Apollo commander Danielle Poole. Poole decides on her own to push ahead regardless, surmising it will ease tensions considerably by quoting James T. Kirk, "We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands. But we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers. But we're not going to kill today. That's all it takes. Knowing that we're not going to kill today." Her co-astronaut correctly identifies the quote stemming from The Original Series, which Poole acknowledges as ", Season 1, episode 23, first aired February 23rd, 1967". "Hardcore," her colleague concedes appreciatingly. Poole's hunch incidentally, turns out to be correct, as the Apollo-Soyuz coupling actually pushes the world back from the brink of starting a third world war.

FOX NFL Sunday

Frasier
 contains several jokes and references to Star Trek. Star Kelsey Grammer, who plays Dr. Frasier Crane, had appeared on  as Captain Morgan Bateson in  (Grammer is admittedly a Star Trek fan). Supporting cast member Dan Butler had appeared in  as Steth. Frequent guest star Bebe Neuwirth, who played Dr. Lilith Sternin, also guest-starred on The Next Generation as Lanel in . Another one-time TNG actor, Saul Rubinek, who played Kivas Fajo in , had a recurring role as Donny Douglas in the show's seventh through tenth seasons. The Frasier sets on the Paramount lot were also located beside the sets from The Next Generation, , , and the first three seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise.

Produced by Paramount Television, the sitcom Frasier was a direct spin-off of the hugely successful  sitcom – featuring Kirstie Alley as member of the principal cast in later seasons – , also produced by Paramount. The series was based upon one of its progenitor's principal characters, Frasier, already played by Grammer, with most of the others – including Neuwirth but excluding Alley – later making guest appearances in Frasier as their Cheers alter egos. Frasier has rivaled its progenitor in acclaim, popularity, and success. Cheers itself was considered one of the greatest triumphs of Brandon Tartikoff, then head of NBC, the network that aired both Cheers and its spin-off. Incidentally, Tartikoff declined purchasing The Next Generation for his network, which had aired The Original Series back in the 1960s, yet also became directly responsible for the inception of not only Cheers, but once head of Paramount Pictures of both Deep Space Nine and the Next Generation film series as well. Rick Berman, before he became the head of the Star Trek franchise, had been the main executive, responsible for studio production oversight of Cheers. Her role in Cheers has propelled Alley to stardom, and was often cited as the reason why she has never reprised her role as Saavik in Star Trek. (see article background for particulars)

"Frasier Crane's Day Off"
After Frasier overdoses on medication to combat his flu, in his delirium, he goes down to the KACL radio station and locks himself inside the broadcast booth to continue hosting his show. His producer, Roz Doyle, calls security to come and fetch him, claiming "Captain Kirk's got control of the bridge and he's gone insane!"

"The Candidate"
Frasier and Niles support a candidate for Congress only to later learn that he believes he was once abducted by aliens. After deciding that it was probably a one-time incident brought on by stress, the brothers agree to continue supporting him. Frasier says the candidate still needs to seek professional help and asks Niles whether he'd treat him. Niles responds "I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker."

"The Last Time I Saw Maris"
KACL's resident Star Trek fanatic Noel Shempsky (played by  guest actor Patrick Kerr), who keeps an autographed photo of Captain Kirk in his cubicle, seeks Frasier's support on a petition to the producers of Star Trek suggesting a new character: "the all powerful space vixen Rozalinda, four-breasted queen of the planet Rozniak." Frasier signs the petition, much to the chagrin of Roz.

"Roz, A Loan"
At the end of the fifth season, Frasier inadvertently got all of his colleagues fired as the owner dropped the talk format and went to Salsa. Noel Shempsky remained at the station as he spoke fluent Spanish. On his return, Frasier asks how he's doing and Noel replies that he's still working on his English-Klingon dictionary. Frasier then asks how do you say "goodbye" in Klingonese (Krish-Krush) which Noel doesn't initially pick up the subtle hint. Frasier upsets Roz and in order to make amends, he changes his pompous, ego-centric return speech into one extolling Roz's virtues. Noel discovers the switch and begins reading from it to which Frasier angrily yells "Krish-Krush, Noel, Krish-Krush."

"Star Mitzvah"
Frasier seeks Noel's help to learn Hebrew to speak at his son Frederick's bar mitzvah. Noel agrees, only if Frasier can obtain for him Scott Bakula's autograph at a nearby Star Trek convention (one he cannot attend personally due to William Shatner's presence and Shatner's restraining order against him). Frasier, however, is unable to fulfill Noel's request. Out of revenge, Noel instructs Frasier in the Klingon language, which he claims is Hebrew. He later learns that Frasier did obtain one of Joan Collins' wigs from  for him, and is greatly moved, but too late to catch Frasier and admit his revenge plan. Frasier delivers his speech at Frederick's bar mitzvah in Klingon, much to everyone's embarrassment, except for a Trekkie friend of Frederick's who later translates the speech from Klingon to English for Frasier's son, noting it's much more beautiful "in the original Klingon." This is a parody of Chancellor Gorkon's line "You have never experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon," from .

"Lilith Needs a Favor"
While Lilith travels on an airplane to visit Frasier in Seattle, she sits next to a man, Albert, (played by Brent Spiner) whom she describes as "white as a sheet." The man replies "actually, I'm always this pale." As Data, Spiner's makeup required him to have a pale skin complexion.

"The Show Must Go Off"
Frasier finds one of his childhood heroes, Jackson Hedley, at a sci-fi convention he attends to buy comic books for his son, Frederick. Hedley, a former Shakespearean actor, has been making a living on the convention circuit ever since he was cast in the television show Space Patrol. Frasier and Niles decide to produce a show, and cast Hedley, hoping that he will be able to restart his career. They soon discover that Hedley is a talentless ham, only they couldn't see it when they were children.

While at the convention, Frasier asks a man dressed as a Klingon for help finding the comic books and thanks him by saying "You're a fierce but helpful people." Roz also runs into Noel and a friend of his; they're both wearing Original Series-era Starfleet uniforms.

"Star Trek: Voyager Audition"

Although not an episode of Frasier, the principal cast of Frasier participated in a live on-stage sketch on the occasion of an official Star Trek 30th anniversary studio celebration, where they were "recreating their audition" for Voyager, although the actors (David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney (complete with easy chair and beer can), Jane Leeves, Peri Gilpin, and Moose the dog) were in-character as their Frasier persona, being dressed in Starfleet uniforms notwithstanding. Absent from the sketch were principal cast regular Kelsey Grammer and supporting cast regular Dan Butler, both of whom having played other characters on The Next Generation and Voyager, respectively. 

The sketch had Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) trying to command Voyager with these "wacky crewmembers." However, trouble begins when Roz won't stop talking to someone about an Aldebarian that she is going to have a date with, which prompts Niles to quip "Sounds like this Aldebarian is about to boldly go where so many have gone before." Then, an alien message cannot be received after First Officer Niles engages a banality filter which keeps Voyager from being bothered by any messages that are "overly insipid or jejune." When Captain Janeway orders him to disengage it, he laments that he can't even "get my phaser to stop flashing twelve o'clock." Lieutenant Daphne suggests using her alien telepathic powers to communicate with the alien ship, but Janeway claims that she's not from another planet, she's just from England. When she uses her psychic abilities, she finds a strong sense of the aliens expressing a desire to breed with the Voyager crew, but quickly realizes that she's actually sensing Niles. A Klingon enters the bridge from the turbolift with Eddie, Martin's dog, and complains he was found on the Klingon homeworld digging up azalea bushes after the Klingons just finished landscaping. Martin offers him a strip of latinum which appeases the Klingon, but claims if Eddie does it again, the Klingons will destroy the Federation, to which Janeway claims "that sounds reasonable." Ultimately, the crew's bickering annoys Janeway to the point that she activates Voyagers auto-destruct sequence and destroys the ship.

The performance has been registered and is featured in the celebratory documentary, Star Trek: 30 Years and Beyond.

Freaks and Geeks
In the pilot, Neal Schweiber asks permission to sit at a lunch table with two other geeks by impersonating captain Kirk, addressing them as Bones and Spock, and asking them if he could join them in the Enterprise mess room because he's so hungry he could eat a tribble. When Bill doesn't get it, he sarcastically claims he's impersonating John Wayne.

"The One With the Cat"
Rachel is trying to make Ross angry by saying things he doesn't agree with. She says "I do think Kirk was smarter than Spock". Ross pretends not to be angry and leaves, and then Chandler turns to Rachel and asks "You were kidding about the Kirk/Spock thing though, right?"

"The One With the Cuffs"

"Ne Me'e Laua Na Paio"

The investigation takes Steve and Danno to a comic book convention, where Danno calls a Trekkie in a First Contact uniform "Captain Kirk."

The High Life 
In this short-lived 1995 BBC sitcom about the staff of a fictional airline, the character of Captain Hilary Duff (the name is a coincidence: the actress-singer of that name did not rise to fame until some years later) is portrayed as a fantasist, who at one point in the pilot episode appears to believe he is actually in Star Trek, claiming to pilot the Enterprise and telling people to "live long and prosper". In one of the show's surrealist touches, at the end of one scene he actually beams out of the staff lounge, seen by the viewer but not by the other characters who are nonplussed to turn around and find him gone.

This Outdoor Channel series investigates if certain popular moments in TV shows and movies is plausible in real life.

The episode goes out of its way to have the feeling of the original series, including recreating the original bridge and donning the classic uniforms.

As done in the series, it was proven that just randomly grabbing materials and expecting it to create the normal manufactured and refined gunpowder is impossible and the chemicals would just fizzle out. However, it was proven that the cannon he made could be used to injure the Gorn.

Homeboys in Outer Space

"Wow. We're going to change that tonight," Sean states enthusiastically, "I'm going to boldly go where no man has gone before." "Unlikely", Joy's sarcastic roommate Elka retorts.

Men Behaving Badly 
British sitcom following the exploits of two young men with slightly sexist attitudes who share an apartment, and their girlfriends.

"Watching TV"
In this British sitcom, the entire episode of "Watching TV" takes place as Gary, Tony, Dorothy, and Deb are sitting in the lounge watching an episode of Star Trek. Although the title is not mentioned, it is obvious from their descriptions the episode is . Communicator noises can be heard, and there is also a mock up of Star Trek music, presumably to avoid copyright issues. Occasional lines can be faintly overheard including a conversation presumably between Kirk and Uhura in which she says "But sir, that is not the command frequency."

As a fan of the series, Gary is keen to point out its classic status, calling it "part of our heritage", stating that it is as fresh as it always has been, and that it has taught an entire generation about science, the Klingon language and how a crew of different nations can work together, "especially when there's no bloody Italians."

Deborah asks "What's happening now?" and Gary says that "they're teleporting down to the planet to find Bones." Deborah asks "what do they want bones for?" Dorothy points out that "Bones is the name of the doctor." Deborah asks if he is a "bone doctor", and Gary does not know the answer. (Sawbones is an old American nickname for surgeons.)

Dorothy comments on "Uhuru" (sic) and her clothing, to which Gary replies, "Nothing wrong with a bit of sexy." Dorothy says it is the most popular TV show ever, but they could only give her a desk job in a skirt which "only just covers her knickers". And asks, "what's that taught a whole generation?" Deborah says it must be a "bit boring wearing the same thing every day, you'd think they could add accessories." Gary says, "Well we obviously missed the episode called 'Scotty Goes Shopping for a Nice Little Waistcoat."

Tony comes back in, and Deborah explains it, saying "the one who overacts has jumped through this big doughnut thing which has gone dark. So the chubby one, and the one with a face like a sad donkey have jumped through the doughnut as well." Gary explains that "Bones has gone through the "Guardian of Forever's time portal... To unfreeze time." Kirk's voice can be heard talking about a "strange temporal anomaly".

As she is unfamiliar with the series, Deb often asks questions, and has to be corrected when she calls Spock, Spong.

Gary also mentions when he was a child that he believed the captain's log was a real wooden log he kept in his office, to the amusement of Dorothy and Deborah. 

Tony also asks questions, but of a more irrelevant nature, such as how they clean the windscreen (referring to the viewscreen), if Kirk has a glove compartment, and whether the bridge crew swivel their chairs when no one is looking. He and Gary also do a duet impression of the door "swoosh". Tony also suggests replacing Chekov with "Bianca from 'Eastenders'" and Emma Forbes instead of Mr Sulu, and Carol Smiley in the engine room, and the Spice Girls as the ship's doctors.

Gary says, "Funny how the actors never really worked again." (Which is untrue.) Deborah says she "saw the actor playing 'Spong' in something else." Gary says Shatner appeared in "DJ Hooker" (sic), "which ran for two series."

Talking of Kirk's love life, Deborah says, "It must be difficult to form a relationship when the only people you meet are from a different planet."

Another program comes on, a documentary about the police, and Tony flips open the TV remote in the style of a communicator, says "beam us up, Scotty" and all four disappear with a transporter effect. This is extremely unusual for this sitcom, because while it is exaggerated it tend to stick to being realistic.

MythBusters
In the episode "Mini Myth Mayhem", the second team tested if Kirk's hastily fashioned gunpowder and bamboo cannon from the TOS episode  was feasible. After testing, the result of "Gorn Cannon," as they dubbed the myth, was "Busted." The bamboo wasn't strong enough to contain the explosion, and 32 experimental formulations with the raw ingredients (as Kirk had found on the asteroid) failed to yield the commercial grade gunpowder that was needed for the proper explosive force. Even with the Bamboo reinforced at the bottom and using commercial grade powder, bamboo still shattered, "killing" their Kirk stand-in dummy (whom the team dressed in a red shirt). The Gorn cutout, staged at a similar distance to the event, was only grazed.

Michael decides to throw the party anyway and says that Pam should lighten up and have some fun. He then takes his cell phone and uses it like a communicator to "contact" Spock asking if there are any signs of life down there, and then pretending to be Spock uses his phone to scan his office like a tricorder and replies that "there are no signs of life down there. Only a wet blanket named Pam."

"Christmas Party"
In a deleted scene, Michael speaks of his employees as various North Pole figures, but when he gets to Dwight, dressed for the occasion with the green hat and pointed ears of an elf, he says that Dwight "looks like Spock to me" – which annoys Dwight to no end, since he has another, correct set of ears for Spock at home.

"Casino Night"
While the Trek connection is not mentioned in the episode, Darryl Philbin, the African-American warehouse manager who often amuses himself by introducing a gullible Michael to comically inaccurate representations of black culture, teaches him an elaborate "ghetto" handshake, part of which involves putting making a Vulcan salute and connecting their hands in the open space between the middle and ring fingers.

"The Delivery"
Witnessing Jim and Pam talking to customers about their unborn child, Dwight thinks that they are abusing their situation to ring up sales so he decides he needs a baby to get more sales, and because he is lonely.

When Erin later finds out that Dothraki is a made-up language, Dwight tells her how people laughed at Klingonese at first, and now she can major in it.

"Junior Salesman"
Dwight is tasked with finding a part-time replacement for Jim and Clark Green feels he is ready for the position, citing his key role in various sales, but Dwight wants someone who he can be sure will not team up with Pam against him. During the interview, Dwight tries to stump Clark by asking him what he would do if a customer who ordered enough paper to qualify for a volume discount now wants to return half the stock and he can’t rebate the sales price or credit for future purchases because he brokered the deal for a third party. Clark answers that it's a classic no-win situation, so he’d Kobayashi Maru it. Dwight gets peeved as it's another perfect answer and he tries to stump him with another question, but Clark says the interview’s over and he get the job as he just Kobayashi Marud the whole process. Dwight says no, but Clark says he did and that Star Trek rules, which Dwight agrees, but he still won't hire Clark.

Power Rangers in Space
When creating the sixth season of Power Rangers, the writers decided to create an intergalactic series that would close the first six seasons of the show. The decision to make a space show was finalized after seeing sketches of Denji Sentai Megaranger (the Japanese show that Power Rangers in Space was loosely based off of) of spaceships and the rangers riding surfboards in space. However, the staff later learned that while Megaranger had space vehicles, in reality, the show never left Earth. The writers decided to proceed with the space angle anyway, and this is reflected in some of the show's dialogue and the sets, some of which (especially the bridge of the ranger's Astro Megaship) are clearly inspired by Star Trek.

Gus, an admitted Trek fan, salivates over the prospect of spending time with one of his idols. Shawn, however, has only a fleeting knowledge of Takei, never quite getting the name Sulu correct, and mistaking basic Trek facts.

"American Duos"
A reference to  is made, which begins with Shawn and Gus watching an American Idol-like reality show called American Duos.

R

The Rally To Restore Sanity and/or Fear
Jon tells Stephen there's corbomite in Stephen's water bottle.

Red Dwarf
British science fiction comedy  is set aboard a derelict mining ship in the far future. The first episodes were made several years into the run of TNG, and there are a number of similar tropes, e.g. Rimmer is a sentient hologram (with an H on his forehead to distinguish him from humans), there is an android character, Kryten, who is trying to discover his humanity (including emotions and sexual experience) and there is also a speaking supercomputer Holly (which has gone senile due to millions of years alone in space). Unlike the Enterprise computer, Holly rarely gets things right. A number of episodes are also set on a shuttlecraft, which has to be fixed up regularly. Besides the hologram Rimmer, many episodes are set in holographic alternate realities such as the "Better than Life" game. There is also a Talkie Toaster, which might be seen as a parody of the voice activated food replicator; tractor beams and various shapeshifting characters. The Red Dwarf universe also has an equivalent to Starfleet in the Space Corps.

Its creators vowed to steer clear of robots and aliens early on, as they thought they were cliché. Robots in fact made an early appearance while aliens never have, in contrast to Trek. The latter have been replaced plotwise with G.E.L.F.s – genetically engineered life forms which could be seen as an extreme analog to Augments.

seaQuest DSV
Starring Marco Sanchez,  (1993-96) featured a similar format to Star Trek; where Trek was set in space and aboard a starship, seaQuest DSV was set underwater and aboard a submarine. The visual effects, in the form of the fledgling technique of CGI, for the series were produced by visual effects company Amblin Imaging, which was especially established for this series, counting among its staffers Robert Bonchune. Both company (for the first two seasons of Voyager) and Bonchune later worked on Star Trek, whereas Bonchune's supervisor, Michael Shea, was at the time engaged (and later married) to Star Trek art department staffer and model maker Dana White. Long serving Star Trek Production Illustrator John Eaves has served as the series' storyboard artist, whereas Joe Conti started out his career as digital artist, working on seaQuest DSV. Additionally, Naren Shankar has served the final season of the series as writer/producer directly after his tenure on the Star Trek franchise.

The series, running for three seasons, was produced by Universal Studios. Actually, the series was an unadulterated and clearcut Star Trek franchise emulation attempt, as Universal was one of the major Hollywood studios that became increasingly envious of Paramount Pictures for its long-lived financial success it enjoyed with their Star Trek franchise. Former seaQuest production staffer Ben Betts confirmed, "They definitely wanted to have something like Star Trek. They wouldn't say that aloud, but that was what they were going for. They were trying to find Star Trek under water. Everything was there, except for the stories. They didn't have enough of a human element so they'd get caught up in the technology...kind of fall back on the technology to bail everybody out by the end of the episode. It was plain as day to people working on the show. Everything was right. They were spending the money to make the graphics look good, the CGI looked great, the sets were well lit, they had a pretty good cast...but it didn't work. It still wasn't Star Trek." (A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager, pp. 50-51, 54) Becoming a minor, obscure footnote in science fiction television history, seaQuest DSV has all but been forgotten, whereas Eaves and Betts himself, like Amblin and Bonchune, went on to work for the Star Trek franchise.

The failure of the series though, eventually led up to Universal revisiting its old Battlestar Galactica franchise, ultimately resulting in Ronald D. Moore's revamped version, which started its run in 2003.

Set homages

 In "Hide and Seek" (S01E17), when Milos Tezlov (played by William Shatner) appears on a seaQuest vidlink, the ID code at the bottom of the screen reads "JTK-NCC1701", referring to "James T. Kirk" and the registry number of the  in the classic Star Trek series. The other ID at the top is the date we shot that live video chat 1-25-1994 on Stage 17 at Universal Studios, Los Angeles. Later, when Tezlov's enemies demand the seaQuest turn him over, the ID code on the vid-link reads "WS-NC-1701A", referring to William Shatner and the newer  from  and .
 The bridge on the seaQuest II was designed to resemble the bridge of the  from The Next Generation. (Specifically, the command column where Captain Bridger, Commander Ford, and Lieutenant O'Neill usually sat resembles the command center where Picard, Riker, and Troi usually sat.)
 The chair in the holographic-projection room aboard the seaQuest II – as seen in such episodes as "Vapors" (S02E04) and "The Sincerest Form of Flattery" (S02E06) – is the same kind of chair as the captain's chair from the Enterprise from . The chair was also used in the "execution tape" in "Splashdown" (S02E20).
 In "Dream Weaver" (S02E14), when the Stormer plunges to his death, he lands beside a monument to the "Nomad Probe", which was launched in 2002, designed to seek out new lifeforms, a reference to the Nomad probe featured in the classic Star Trek episode .
 The sign of "The Dagger's Sheath", a club featured in the episode "Smoke on the Water" (S03E03), is written in the title typeface of The Next Generation.
In the episode "Equilibrium" (S03E07), Bridger uses a small craft that is known as a "DS9 shuttle".

One of the items they have procured is an old movie projector and what they believe to be an actual historical recording depicting some of the achievements of the ancient humans, shown in a recurrent festival. What they have actually obtained was a Super 8 film reel of  in which Captain James T. Kirk and Spock are seen in discussion aboard USS Enterprise, also fleetingly seen, and likewise taken as proof of the great achievements of ancient humans. This the settlers take as evidence that elves (mistaking Spock for one, as they, like Vulcans, have pointed ears) and humans have worked harmoniously together in a dim and distant past. Shortly after the showing the village is overrun and destroyed by trolls, its inhabitants killed and with the three heroes barely escaping with their lives.

Starhyke
Short-lived British sitcom of which only six episodes were made. Its title Starhyke is a wordplay upon Star Trek (hike = trek). Curiously, while the series seems to have made an effort to include actors who have appeared in Stargate, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Babylon 5, and Red Dwarf, Trek performers are conspicuous by their absence. Nonetheless it makes copious direct and indirect references to the franchise.

The main characters' names are references to The Next Generation, with their genders swapped – Captain Blowhard, Wu Off, and a robot called Dotty, all of whom are female, and Doctor Striker, who is male. The bridge is also clearly modeled on the Enterprise and crew members "beam up" through "molly ports". Each episode also opens with a captain's log.

Popyatopov also says "Dammit, I'm an engineer, not a bouncer".

"Plug and Play"
The opening scene starts a conversation filled with Star Trek-style technobabble about how to deal with an oncoming space anomaly, only for it to turn out to be a piece of dirt on the viewing screen, because the bridge hadn't been cleaned properly.

Sally says "I'm an engineer, not a dancer."

Spokeperson for the commitee is former production staffer Gabriel Koerner.   And while Jarrod was unable to refrain himself from insulting and ridiculing the Star Trek fanbase throughout the entire episode, even he was pleasantly surprised when their two replicas were estimated by the fans at a for him advantegeous value of US$4,000, something a more respectful Brandi had suspected all along.

Will does get to meet Takei, and the two discuss Takei's days on the Original Series set, with William Shatner and Grace Lee Whitney anecdotes coming up as topics.

The tape ends with Mooney and Hayes stuck on an unpleasant planet after beaming down while their crew take the ship (which is also shaped like the WWF logo) out of orbit and strand them there.

The X-Files
The The X-Files has been a 1990s cult television series in which the two main protagonists, FBI special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, are charged with investigating unexplained and purportedly supernatural phenomena. Important key production staffers on the show were writer/producers Robert Goodwin and Paul Rabwin who previously had served, as co-producer and post-production supervisor respectively, on Star Trek: Phase II, which was during their tenure upgraded to . Prosthetics and makeup were done by Optic Nerve Studios, who later did the same for .

"Fearful Symmetry"

"Tempus Fugit"
After a plane crashes, agent Fox Mulder's theories spur the leader of the team investigating the crash to quip that if they find Spock's phaser, Mulder will get the credit.

"Dreamland" and "Dreamland II"
The two-parter "Dreamland" and "Dreamland II" features several references to Star Trek. While FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are driving to meet a secretive contact stationed at a classified US Air Force Base in Roswell during the pre-titles sequence of part I, the usually skeptical Scully asks Mulder how they know that their contact's supposedly extensive knowledge of alien life is not "derived exclusively from reruns of Star Trek?"

The plot of the two-parter concerns a tear in the space/time continuum that is repeatedly referred to as a "warp" and, after Mulder first hears this name and then questioningly repeats it, a character who has knowledge about the anomaly replies with the phrase, "Beam me up, Scotty".

In the pre-titles sequence of part II, a home movie reel of Mulder's family is shown in which a young Fox Mulder is seen wearing a blue Starfleet uniform from Star Trek: The Original Series and pointed Vulcan ears, both much like Spock. He also carries a toy weapon that looks similar to a phaser.

During the first scene after the opening credits in the episode "Hollywood A.D.", Wayne Federman, a producer and screenwriter doing research for a forthcoming movie based on Mulder and Scully, reveals to the agents that he was told by their FBI superior, Assistant Director Walter Skinner, that Mulder's usual initial slant was "a little Star Trekky" and adds, "[it] is the exact vibe I'm looking for, for this thing I'm doing."

"4-D" 
At one point agent Reyes suggests that a man may be able to travel between parallel universes, which agent Doggett discards by texting "too much Star Trek".

"Jump the Shark"
The penultimate scene of the episode "Jump the Shark", in which the Lone Gunmen die, pays homage to Spock's death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The Lone Gunmen make a similar sacrifice to Spock, by sealing themselves in with an airborne virus behind an airtight fire door and, like Spock's discussion with Kirk through a transparent radiation barrier, they speak with close friends Jimmy Bond and Yves Adele Harlow through a pane of glass in the sealed door, shortly before they die.
