Will you relax?" Near the end of the episode, Fred mentions to Lamont that he and his friend are preparing to watch Godzilla Eats Benji on television.

Program: Sanford and Son  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: Steinberg and Son Air Date: October 10th, 1975 As Fred and the gang watch the suspiciously familiar show within a show, "Steinberg and Son", Grady's equivalent (Gaby) mentions that Godzilla Comes Home for Passover is one of the monster movies showing that night.

Program: Sanford and Son  Reference: Son of Godzilla (1967) Episode/Sketch: Sanford and Rising Son Air Date: November 21st, 1975 Avoiding Lamont's lingering question about the whereabouts of the profits made from Fred's erstwhile Japanese restaurant venture with Ah Chew, the patriarch of the Sanford clan begins to discuss everything he recently learned about Japan, "Did you know a lot of the great TVs are made in Japan... and a lot of the popular cars are made in Japan... and Godzilla was made in Japan... and The Son of Godzilla was made in Japan. Hey, wouldn't that be great, Son? A great title for a television series, 'Godzilla and Son'."

Program: Sanford and Son  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: The Director Air Date: February 27th, 1976 Though Elroy disagrees, Fred opines that George Foreman could beat Godzilla in a fight.

Program: Sanford and Son  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: Carol Air Date: November 26th, 1976 Fred Sanford tells an old acquaintance that he has plans for the evening, specifically to watch a "rerun where Godzilla eats Hershey, Pennsylvania".

Program: Sanford and Son  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: A Matter of Silence Air Date: January 28th, 1977 As Lamont prepares to call a doctor to help Fred with his hearing problem, the latter objects. Lamont implores him to reconsider by reminding him of all the things he would miss without hearing. It isn't until Godzilla's name is dropped that Fred relents.

Program: Sanford and Son  Reference: Kaiju Movies (-) Episode/Sketch: The Lucky Streak Air Date: March 4th, 1977 While attempting to skirt Lamont's question as to the results of the poker game, Fred Sanford describes a new movie where "the daughter of Godzilla meets the son of King Kong." He goes on to say that "they fall in love, and they get married and go to Niagara Falls... and drink it."

Program: The Muppet Show  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: Leslie Uggams with Big Bird Air Date: December 5th, 1978 On the eve of his first formal date with Camilla the Chicken, the Great Gonzo serenades the eye of his affection with a song of his own writing. The lyrics include one particularly memorable line, "you're prettier by far than Godzilla".

Program: Laverne & Shirley  Reference: Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972) Episode/Sketch: Lenny's Crush Air Date: February 13th, 1979 Near the end of this episode, Lenny informs Laverne that Godzilla on Monster Island is playing down at the New View in Toho Scope. Laverne, a Godzilla fan in her own right, is quickly on her feet in pursuit, as they mention Rodan, Mothra, Skidorah (likely an accidental misunderstanding of the name "Ghidorah"), and even Minilla (although not by name). This reference is indeed an anachronism, since this episode would take place roughly between 1963 and 1964 according to Happy Days spin-off chronology. The extent of the references mentioned would only work after 1977 (the year that Godzilla vs. Gigan was released Stateside under its US title: Godzilla on Monster Island).

Program: Cheers  Reference: Seven Samurai (1954) Episode/Sketch: Diane Chambers Day Air Date: March 20th, 1986 When the gang plans to go to Sam's house to catch the The Magnificent Seven on TV, Diane remarks, "You know, I'm not ordinarily a fan of American Westerns, but because The Magnificent Seven is a remake of the far superior and more complex Japanese film, The Seven Samurai, a comparison will be interesting."

Program: ALF  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: Isn't it Romantic? Air Date: November 23rd, 1987 Impetuous as always, Gordon Shumway (aka ALF) changes the television from a showing of Casablanca to "Godzilla Week" on Channel Six, much to Willie's dismay. ALF mentions that Godzilla vs. the Thing, Godzilla vs. King Kong [sic], and Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster are all part of the lineup.

Program: ALF  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: Shake, Rattle and Roll Air Date: May 1st, 1989 When Willie Tanner fails to help Gordon Shumway (aka ALF) understand the basics of plate tectonics, Kate Tanner chimes in and uses Godzilla as a comparison.

Godzilla, the original ... he's one of my all time favorites."

Program: Mystery Science Theater 3000  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: Episode 211, First Spaceship on Venus Air Date: December 29th, 1990 As the protagonists of the film return from their Venusian mission, a man of Asian decent rushes through the crowd and joins in the collective skyward gaze. This prompts Crow to quip: "Godzilla! Godzi... oh, wrong movie, sorry."

Program: Mystery Science Theater 3000  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: Episode 302, Gamera Air Date: June 8th, 1991 During Gamera, Joel remarks "Doesn't he kind of look like Godzilla with a backpack on?"

Program: The Golden Girls  Reference: Godzilla Series (-) Episode/Sketch: There Goes the Bride: Part 2 Air Date: February 9th, 1991 As Dorothy walks down the aisle during her wedding rehearsal, the planner snarkily quips, "Remember... teeny steps, we're not Godzilla attacking the city."

Tom Servo suggests a combination of "the Wolf Man and Mothra and the bad Lee Marvin from Cat Ballou." It's interesting to note that the movie itself is a Japanese television show (produced by Tsuburaya Productions) edited into feature form by American producer Sandy Frank. In total, nine Japanese movies, presented by Mr. Frank, were shown on MST3K in the third season; however, none of these movies were Toho productions.

The sound effect is actually uncannily closer to an Imperial TIE Fighter, which is somewhat jarring considering this is a B-movie released 15 years prior to Star Wars.

Program: Mystery Science Theater 3000  Reference: Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) Episode/Sketch: Episode 613, The Sinister Urge Air Date: November 5th, 1994 In Ed Wood's "masterful" look at the adult film industry, smut-dealer Johnny Ryde drives up to his boss' house to tell her one of their studios was raided by the police. While watching the scene, series host Mike Nelson takes notice of the car's huge, smiling grill, observing that "It looks like Jet Jaguar!" It should be noted that although Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) had already been featured on the show at this point, the Mike Nelson character was not yet a part of the series, a fact that Crow T.

Program: Mystery Science Theater 3000  Reference: Seven Samurai (1954) Episode/Sketch: Episode 706, Laserblast Air Date: May 18th, 1996 Mike jokes that film critic Leonard Maltin only gave Seven Samurai (1954) two stars, while Laserblast received two and a half. Crow is instantly taken aback, and Tom Servo is quite relieved to learn that this was only a mild jest.

When young Jun reveals his lack of knowledge about Tsuburaya, Inspector General Sawais informs Jun that he was a master of special effects, and that he could "never get enough of his creatures, Godzilla, Mothra...these creatures would jump out of the screen and terrify me".
