In the episode "Jet Ace", Perry White has a nephew named Chris. In February 1975, ABC aired a TV movie based on the failed 1966 Broadway musical It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman starring then-Password host Allen Ludden in the role of Perry White. The movie was narrated by Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In announcer Gary Owens and Ludden's castmates included Lesley Ann Warren, Al Molinaro, and Loretta Swit. The movie is viewable on YouTube.

The phrase "don't call me Chief" was worked into this episode, when White irritates Sheriff Nancy Adams by calling her "Chief". It's later implied in the season 4 episode "Gone" that Perry is working his way back up with an article on Lionel's conviction.
