Monk (2002)

Trivia: The picture of Milo and Eddie (Danny Glover and Danny DeVito) seen at the end in Nora's are real photos of Glover and DeVito, just photoshopped to be holding menus and to look like they're together in a restaurant. The photos of them comes from a 2008 fundraiser for Paul Newman's children's camp (The Painted Turtle) that doubled as a tribute to Newman, who had passed away a month prior to the event. Both men were in attendance.

Trials and Tribble-ations - S5-E6

Trivia: When the agents ask Sisko which Enterprise ship, he says "the first one." One agent also responds with there's been 6 Enterprises. However, in the 2001 TV series "Star Trek: Enterprise", we learn there was an Enterprise before the "first" one. And (as of 2020), there have been 8, or possibly 9, Enterprise ships. (I have listed this a trivia since at the time of the show it wouldn't have been a mistake. But one could argue this is a mistake or that the TV series ST:E made a mistake, since it's been established TOS Enterprise was the first ship with that name).

Trivia: Leon is played by John Lithgow's real life son, Ian Lithgow. Although he is often portrayed as a somewhat dim-witted college student, Ian had already graduated from Harvard (like his father) prior to the series starting.
