I just finished watching the Heroes episode, titled "Distractions" (from the first season), on Netflix, and I was amused at the little inside joke that was included.
One of the main 'heroes' is a Japanese man (named Hiro), and in this particular episode he is surprised by his father, played by George Takei, whom many will recognize as 'Sulu' from the original Star Trek series. As Takei is leaving the scene, he gets into a limousine with a New York license plate which reads "NCC 1701".
"NCC 1701" also happens to be the call letters on the Star Ship Enterprise, from the original Star Trek series.

Sometimes I enjoy these little inside jokes, but this one did seem overtly obvious.

Yeah, I liked that bit. Nichelle Nichols is in season two.
For what it's worth, it would have taken me a few minutes to place the reference.
