The 2-hour drama was nominated for three Emmy Awards, and won two awards. An earlier British dramatization for the 1970 season of ITV Playhouse starred Ray McAnally as Bucher. The incident is also referenced in the "Gone Quiet" episode of The West Wing. The Star Trek episode "The Enterprise Incident" is loosely based on the Pueblo incident.

Famous quotes containing the words representation in, popular and/or culture:
“People accept a representation in which the elements of wish and fantasy are purposely included but which nevertheless proclaims to represent “the past” and to serve as a guide-rule for life, thereby hopelessly confusing the spheres of knowledge and will.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“For the people in government, rather than the people who pester it, Washington is an early-rising, hard-working city. It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
