Next year the Television Crossover Hall of Fame will be dedicating one Friday Hall of Famer each month to the TV series from Earth Prime-Time which have a solid presence in Earth Prime-Time with their own televersions.  One of those shows has to be ‘I Love Lucy’.  Here are some of the other TV series which have mentioned this landmark:

Ouch.  I’ve got writer’s cramp!

From that list we know the series will be remembered and seen far in the future and we know the transmission signals were picked up by aliens from another galaxy who then went on to create their own version.

The show was never mentioned on ‘Taxi’ – as far as I know – but I’d like to think that if the Toobworld version of the show was seen in other countries, than why not in the homeland of Latka Gravas?

Using the list of “Latkaisms” in a book about ‘Taxi’, I think we know what the translation of the title would be – “I Nik-Nik Lucy”.

Just sayin’…..
