Through the use of props, all of them to be found in the beachfront mansion belonging to Tucker Bryant's family, 'Royal Pains' made some connections to other TV series and TV movies. Sure, they may be pretty tenuous, but they work, Mate!
First up, from the pilot episode:
TWO HONUS WAGNER BASEBALL CARDS
Recently, a Honus Wagner card sold for over 1.6 million dollars. That wasn't even the record price - in 2007, another card was sold for 2.5 million dollars. The inference would be that - at least in Toobworld - Tucker's father, Marshall Bryant, was the bidder behind both purchases.
Matthew Modine played Honus Wagner in a TV movie "The Winning Season", which was a fantasy time travel story. And it was a magical Honus Wagner card that caused the time travel.
TWO GUITARS SIGNED BY JOHN LENNON

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S CLOTHES WORN FOR THE "BORN TO RUN" COVER
We know Bruce Sprinsteen exists in Toobworld - Bob and Carol Chase of Nutley, NJ, went to one of his concerts in the pilot episode of 'Quintuplets'. And in the Aussie soap 'Neighbours', Karl named his rooster after the singer. Even the demi-god 'Cupid' quoted him!
BRUUUUUUUUCE!Baby, we were born to BCnU!
