And I've noticed a decline in PT references on TV and yet a steady pace of OT references. Shows how much of the universe is retained in our memories. I know that Family Guy has only referenced the OT and I see it staying that way. I did, however, catch an Episode III reference in a "Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy" episode yesterday. They were at a football game and Mandy was the head cheerleader for some reason. She needed to get the team to win the game but they were going to have to go about it differently.
Mandy: "We are going to have to resort to cartoonish antics to win this game."
Erwin: "Is it possible to learn this power?"
Mandy: "Not from a coach."
You then hear, as a sound effect, Luke's lightsaber quickly igniting.
The sound effect is what did it for me. I was so totally caught off-guard that my burst of laughter came out as a fat man's wheeze before I started to guffaw. It was so random, that is why I loved it. My lungs hurt from the force of my first burst of laughter.
But to balance out the Star Wars references, during their Christmas episode, Billy and Mandy head towards the north pole (to stab Santa with a wooden stake or something). They get there and Billy runs into a cave near by screaming "Santa!" He gets in there and see Luke hanging upside down screaming. The Wampa comes into the shot and now Billy is screaming as he runs out of the cave. I died laughing there too.
