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 and/or culture:
“If the Union is now dissolved it does not prove that the experiment of popular government is a failure.... But the experiment of uniting free states and slaveholding states in one nation is, perhaps, a failure.... There probably is an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery. It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Education must, then, be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
