Scott reminded me of on one of my favorite shows, Third Rock from the Sun, and I found one of my favorite moments on it on the YouTube.
The key to the joke (forgive me if you already know this, but not everyone does) is that a young Shatner starred in an episode of The Twilight Zone in which he saw a creature on the wing of a plane he was one (and, of course, no one believed him). Then, many years later, when the Twilight Zone was remade as a movie, this episode was incorporated, with Lithgow in the Shatner role.
I think I watch too much TV, and so I find it very satisfying when my useless TV knowledge comes in handy.

Oh, do you remember the one where Tommy started a band which prompted a scene where Lithgow homaged his role as the hellfire and brimstone preacher from Footloose?
YES! That was good.
There's a great side by side comparison of the TV show and movie on youtube
