* BizarroEpisode: The series finale is a clip show that's also a crossover with ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''. A lightning strike causes Webster to somehow travel to the Enterprise, where he talks to Worf about the fun things people do in the 20th century.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Emmanuel Lewis had a brief career as a J-Pop star with his song "City Connection" entering #2 on the Oricon charts.
* HilariousInHindsight: The name "George Papadopoulos" made the news in 2017 as a member of Donald Trump's presidential campaign who was involved in collusion with the Russian government during the 2016 election. Naturally, some made hay of this by sending memes denoting the similarity in the names (the names of the two George's are spelt differently: the Trump adviser's last name is spelled "Papadopoulos," while Alex Karras' character is spelled "Papadopolis").
