Line 7:
** The third season episode "Son of the Defender" used footage from a 1950's TV movie featuring Shatner to present Denny as a young attorney clashing with his father. It was surprisingly emotional.
** In one episode, Valerie Bertinelli appeared as a guest character, and her appearance was heralded with the theme from ''[[One Day At a Time]]'', the show that made her a star.
* [[Actor Shared Background]]: Denny Crane's larger-than-life persona, and his anxieties about being washed-up. One could argue that Shatner fits that bill and in many ways Denny is a reflection of himself. Especially Denny doing Priceline commercials. David E Kelley mentioned wanting William Shatner for the role precisely because he would fit perfectly and was willing to poke fun at himself.
* [[Fake American]]: Canadian [[William Shatner]] as staunch, gun-loving Denny Crane.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Nicknamed the "science fiction retirement home" for featuring [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Captain Kirk]], [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Odo]] (who clearly prefers working with Sisko), [[Stargate|Daniel Jackson]], and [[Star Trek: Voyager|Seven of Nine]] among others.
** [[Up to Eleven|Taken even further]] in a third season episode with [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Odo]] ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|and]]'' [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Quark]], who are described as "old friends," arguing with each other.
*** Guest starring [[Star Trek: Voyager|Neelix]]. And the voice of [[Futurama|Leela]], if you're in to that kind of thing.
** Looks like [[Murphy Brown]] has a successful legal career after broadcasting.
* [[I Am Not Spock]]: For a lot of people, this show was responsible for [[William Shatner]] not just being Captain Kirk. In fact inverted, now people make Denny Crane jokes about old ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' episodes.
* [[You Might Remember Me From]]: [[Candice Bergen]]'s earlier claim to fame was on the [[Long Runner|long-running]] sitcom ''[[Murphy Brown]]''.
** And Christian Clemenson played sidekick to Bruce Campbell as another lawyer, Socrates Poole, in ''[[The Adventures of Brisco County Jr]]''.
*** Perhaps more relevantly, Clemenson played Spader's brother in ''Bad Influence''.
**** John Larroquette, who joined the cast as the straight-laced [[Deadpan Snarker]] Carl Sack is certainly better known for playing a lawyer, who was the complete opposite on ''[[Night Court]]'', Dan Fielding.
