“Shakespeare in Love” contains many allusions to Shakespeare’s later works, phrases worked into the background dialogue. Dennis Miller had a short stint on Monday Night Football, during which he used so many historical and literary references that he was canned fro being *too* intelligent. I loved it (even though I didn’t follow all of them, myself), but I guess the rest of the nation isn’t into watching the game with an encyclopedia on hand.
Political candidates often refer to statesmen of long ago. Obama is often compared to Lincoln in various ways (including being commencement speaker at the only standing site of a Lincoln-Douglas debate).
There were many allusions threaded through the series “Studio 60”, many of them from earlier days of TV, not the least of which is the obvious parallel to “NBC Saturday Night Live”.
