Nobody ever does anything about it."
3rd Rock from the Sun: One episode guest starred William Shatner and a reference is made to the fact that both Shatner and John Lithgow starred in versions of the episode. The series had set up a seasons spanning Brick Joke in "Frozen Dick" where Dick (Lithgow) freaks out upon seeing "something on the wing" which he's told is simply the engine. When William Shatner is brought on in season four as The Big Giant Head, he arrives via plane and has this to say.
