In the Heat of the Night/YMMV

Film

 * Adaptation Displacement
 * Moment of Awesome: In addition to declaring the page quote to a skeptical Gillespie in the beginning (in response to "Jus' what do they call you up there, anyhow?"), Tibbs also strikes back at a bigot for hitting him. For an audience in 1967, this was really daring for an African-American.

TV Series
"J.J.: Well, you know what the Lord says -- go forth and multiply!
 * Funny Moments: An episode in which they arrest a serial polygamist, who used his charm and career as a travelling Bible salesman to maintain what turns out to be at least seven or eight households... all of whom descend upon the Sparta jail en masse bearing goodies... then he gets poisoned.

Gillespie: But I don't think He meant for you to do that by yourself."
