The Simpsons do their take on the radio hoax of Orson Welles war of the worlds broadcast with mentions of amos and andy and the great gildersleeve. Also a parody of lucky strikes

The Simpsons writers seem to be hip to just about everything.

The lead-in music chosen for that Simpsons segment was Gloomy Sunday. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloomy_Sunday

I remember one of the animated shows on Fox portrayed fans of OTR as nerds or dweebs. It may have been American Dad.[/url]
