References in Popular Culture
Derrick was briefly referenced in Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis.
The series was parodied on the Norwegian comedy show Åpen Post. It was humoristically claimed that NRK had bought the legal rights to produce dubbed remakes of the series' original episodes after the show stopped airing in Germany. NRK could however not afford expensive remakes, leading to a very simplistic (and in the viewers eyes ridiculous) approach to the show, involving uninspired actors and a strong lack of action.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“Popular culture entered my life as Shirley Temple, who was exactly my age and wrote a letter in the newspapers telling how her mother fixed spinach for her, with lots of butter.... I was impressed by Shirley Temple as a little girl my age who had power: she could write a piece for the newspapers and have it printed in her own handwriting.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“O, popular applause! what heart of man
Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
—Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
