I went to see the new "Star Wars" movie, "A Force Awakens", Thursday night. I'm writing this up even before I saw it. (Amendment: Access-A-Ride screwed up my ride downtown, an hour late when I wanted to be there an hour early. So I didn't see it yet after all......)
Here's a Top Ten list, rather than a Super Six list, of references to the first movie (fourth in the timeline) from various TV shows in the main Toobworld. And I decided to crank it up to eleven.......
Bob, Howard, Carlin and Billy wait in line for the movie.
Lou Grant: Scoop (1977)
The Assistant Foreign Editor mentions 'Star Wars as the inflight movie'
Mork & Mindy: A Mommy for Morky (1978)
An upside-down Star Wars poster is seen adorning the wall of Mork's attic bedroom.
Hart to Hart: This Lady Is Murder (1980)
a character is referred to as "the one who's seen Star Wars 47 times."

Remington Steele: Lofty Steele (1984)
When they enter Charlie's apartment and see all of the toy robots, Steele says it looks like the prop room for Star Wars.

Friends: The One with the Prom Video (1996)

And bringing it back to where we began......

The kids go to see Star Wars. There are many references to the movie.
