Favorite Tv episode that mentions star trek

Stargate SG-1 had some great ones. Anything delivered by O'Neill relating to Star Trek is hilarious, including the one quote from the time travel episode "1969".
 
I liked that bit on LOST where somebody explained the concept of redshirts to Locke. His response:

"Sounds like this Kirk was a piss-poor captain."

Warehouse 13 has also dropped the odd Trek reference now and then. Ditto for Leverage.

A recent episode of Leverage had a character use the name Will Riker. Jonathan Frakes directed the episode.

Last night's ep had a villainous French smuggler named "Jean-Luc."
 
I really liked the little reference in The Newsroom where Maggie called her colleague Jim Harper James Tiberius Harper in two episodes even though that isn't his midlle name (but she thinks of him as a nerd). It made me chuckle.
 
A recent episode of Leverage had a character use the name Will Riker. Jonathan Frakes directed the episode.

The episode was also called "The First Contact Job" and there was a Riker figure on one of the desks throughout the episode.

Leverage has had several references, including Wil Wheaton and Jeri Ryan as a recurring guest stars.

I also recall an episode where a "Mr. Kirk Picard" was called for in an announcement at an airport.
 
I have a question.. when was the Amok Time fight music first used on another show? I thought it was in Futurama but I'm wondering if it was before that.

I don't know when the first time was, but it wasn't Futurama. Simpsons used it in the episode where Homer became an astronaut (part of his astronaut training involves a Triskelion style fight with The Fight Music playing). That episode was from 1994 or 95.

There were several in Frasier, thank to Noel.

The best was the episode Star Mitzvah. Frasier was supposed to get Noel an autograph from Scott Bakula, but failed. Noel gets his revenge by writing a blessing for Frasier to read at his son's Bar Mitzvah...in Klingon.

From the episode of Lost "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues:"

Boone: You ever watch Star Trek?
Locke: Not really.
Boone: The crew guys that would go down to the planet with the main guys — the captain and the guy with the pointy ears? They always wore red shirts and they always got killed.
Locke: Yeah?
Boone: Yeah.
Locke: Sounds like a piss-poor captain.

Also The Cable Guy (yes, I know it's not a TV show). Speaking of Carrey, I'm sure I've seen him do a Kirk spoof somewhere...

He did a couple of Star Trek impressions in Ace Ventura. When he was in Snowflake's empty pool looking for clues.
