42yoMan, which versions of the DVDs are you watching? If it's from the "both seasons in one boxed set" with the Star Wars parody on the cover, one of the special features on the discs is a "reference-o-meter" thing which, when turned on, will identify in-jokes and references source material.
If you have the old individual disc sets, that feature only exists for season 2.
I hope I'm not making this up, but that's what Edgar Wright (the director) said in an interview I read at one point.
