- When your favourite episodes of Hogan's Heroes are the ones with people who played AIO characters (Hal Smith, Parley Baer) and you're sure that Parley Baer is in the episode because you recognize his voice, even though you don't recognize his face at all!

I believe that the episode's title was "The Spy Who Bugged Me", which is often considered to be a pun off of the Austin Powers movie but really was meant to poke fun at the movie The Spy Who Loved Me.
I don't know what number we are on here but here is my list:
-You send post-it notes to your co-workers saying "Doris Rathbone wants a pedicure. Call 555-1223"
-When something reminds you of Odyssey you laugh and tell your parents why you are laughing.
-You bug Nathan Hoobler whenever you have a burning question.
.....When you start notcing voices wherever you go, like in Hannah Montana and the Little Mermaid and Little Dogs on The Prairie(Kenneth Mars, who plays Mr. Holstein, and Captain Quiin, and Nathan Carlson.) It freaks me everytime, and I can tell voice pretty dang well I guess.
I don't know if that has been added before, but I had to add that.

Peri: Do you mean the TARDIS is malfunctioning again?
The Doctor: Malfunctioning? [pause] Malfunctioning? MALFUNCTIONING!?

Umm, it was one episode called "Schooly Bully" and Jackson and his dad are trying to go fishing, but they get snowed in in this "honeymoon" cabin, and Kennth Mars is the guy who runs the place, and gets trapped in the room with them, and has a puppet that talks(or he makes talk, which I can't remember what it's actually called) and it was really funny. I noticed it sounded like him, and then it all clicked. It started to freak me out! Well, I have to go. Hope that helps.
when I read them.
