10 of the Greatest Pop Culture Homage TV Episodes

Psych — “Dual Spires” (Twin Peaks)

Oh, man. We don’t normally watch Psych, but this montage is pretty masterful. Of course, there is a mysterious murder (“Who killed Paula Merral?” asks UnderTheNail.com) in a small town filled with bizarre characters. But the episode also features seven original Twin Peaks cast members (and boy has Bobby gone gray!) and a billion references that will make fans chuckle into their apple cider. Required viewing.

"The Rocky Horror Glee Show."  It might not have been the best in the world, but at least somebody made a stab at it.

I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but back in I believe 1989-90, I saw a terrific episode of Thirtysomething that was an homage to The Dead by James Joyce. After a Christmas Eve party they had hosted, and with snow falling outside, a wife tells her husband, for the first time, about a boy who loved her and that he had just been killed.  I've always thought that the show was a bit pretentious, but that episode was first rate.
