Remember When (The Sopranos) - References To Other Media

References To Other Media

• During the times Junior was in his room, he watches television. Shows that he watched in this episode included a Weather Channel documentary hosted by Jim Cantore, and The $25,000 Pyramid.
• When driving through Maryland near Washington, DC, Paulie asks, "Chevy Chase, whatever happened to him?" Paulie means the actor Chevy Chase but is actually looking at a road sign for the town Chevy Chase.
• Paulie mentions an incident when, after being pulled over, Tony's father tricked him into insulting a cop by saying his cousin was "on the job" and his name was Barney Fife.
• When Tony hears Paulie laughing loudly, he leans over his balcony and sees Paulie sitting on his bed, watching the 70's sitcom Three's Company.
• The closing scene which depicts Uncle Junior sitting on an outdoor chair, lost in thought, as the screen slowly fades to black, is possibly a nod to the closing scene of The Godfather Part II, which shows Al Pacino as Michael Corleone in a similar pose. Father figures are a key motif of the episode, and Michael Corleone's father Vito Corleone was memorably depicted stroking a cat in The Godfather.
