TV shows that make pop-culture references

Because satire is protected speech. It's not illegal. Pop-culture references have been made in cartoons since the days of Bugs Bunny, if not earlier...

What about copyright infringement?

No responses?

I would suggest a cross-post in the Legal forum.

The Simpsons do this too, right?

I'd be interested in the answer as well. But I do recall learning once in a class that satire is protected but I wonder where the line is drawn.

Regardless, the references are hilarious and enjoyable IMHO!
