Best tv show crossovers

[dragonflies]

I love when networks have shows that crossover and it works

Some of the best are when Magnum. P.I. and Simon and Simon crossedover, same with Murder She Wrote and Magnum

Boy Meets World and Step by Step

[quartermainefan]

There are some I wish would rerun just for the curiosity value. Fantasy Island on The Love Boat, Charlie's Angels on The Love Boat...they have to be cheesy goodness.

Speaking of 70s cheesy goodness and crossovers...

The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman

Cannon and Barnaby Jones

Different Strokes crossed over quite a bit with Facts of Life, when the latter first began.

Golden Girls with Empty Nest

And of course Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley

I'm watching the "Magnum"/"Simon & Simon" cross-over right now on Netflix. It's okay, although the brothers Simon come across as even more two-dimensional than Magnum and his cronies.

For me, the best cross-over was between "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Rhoda" for the latter's wedding.

I always loved watching the Beverly Hillbillies crossover with Green Acres and Petticoat Junction because the latter two weren't rerun as much in the late 90s/early 00s and it was my only real chance to see anything related to them.

I always thought Three's Company and Too Close for Comfort should have had a crossover at some point.

One of THE classic TV events! Nancy Walker and Cloris Leachman stole the show from Val and Mary.

OMG, that would have been so awesome. Here's one scenario: Monroe, established as Mr. Furley's clumsy nephew, drops in for a visit. Monroe is depressed, so Mr. Furley asks Janet to help him find a gf. Jack thinks it is wrong to meddle in the lad's personal life. However, thanks to yet another round of silly misunderstandings (innocently engineered by Larry), Monroe thinks Janet has the hots for him, and Mr. Furley thinks Monroe has the hots for Jack!

I loved the Law and Order/Homicide crossovers. And the appearances of Mothership characters are really the strongest thing SVU ever had going for it, especially after McCoy became DA and kept showing up to bitch the ADAs out. Even Fred Thompson was good for those scenes.

[Soapsuds]

Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy on Knots.

One 3-way crossover that sticks out in my mind is when NBC did a special night of The Golden Girls, Empty Nest, and Nurses (I believe in 1992 during GG's final season), where there was a full moon and there was an ongoing theme with the fact that there was a full moon out. I remember Rue McClanahan crossing over to Nurses, but can't remember if she or Betty White crossed over to Empty Nest as well. Either way, I liked that trifecta of shows with frequent overlapping crossovers.

Just did a quick Wikipedia search. Charlie, the neighbor from Empty Nest also crossed over to Nurses that night. Looks like Nurses had frequent GG and EN guest-stars.

Am I wrong, or didn't ABC have Jaleel White appear on all the TGIF shows once as Steve Urkel?

[Gray Bunny]

I remember Jaleel appearing as Urkel on Full House and Step By Step. I remember Step By Step referencing Full House on another episode, even though they are apparently in the same "fictional universe" with the Urkel crossover.

Interesting that Jaleel didn't voice Urkel on Animaniacs

[Khan]

He probably thought the gig was beneath him.
