More Myth Sightings on TV

The whole X-Files show is built on citing urban myths, but they make plenty of references to "traditional" myth as well.  Two that come to mind are an episode entitled "The Post-Modern Prometheus" and a business in the show called Zeus Storage. "The Post-Modern Prometheus" is interesting, because it refers both to the Greek myth of Prometheus and the enlightenment myth of Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus.
