The classic crossover started itself off as a good way to make the best of what you've got—so if you have two shows on your roster, it's a no-brainer to have the shows and characters cross over every once in a while, especially if one of the shows is less popular than its sibling.

* This was the entire premise of ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]''—graphic novels and [[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (film)|movie]] both.
* [[Archie Comics]] is not afraid of this. The only real thing that defines the universes (excluding ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' and other licensed series) is different towns in America. The Archies performing alongside ''[[Josie and the Pussy Cats]]''? Sure!

▲* Cross Overs are huge in all fanworks, one of the two or three biggest reasons to create them.
* A favourite for many seems to be ''[[Doctor Who]]'', due to the remarkable ease with which the Doctor can be inserted in any story just by having the TARDIS land there. One of the most famous, ''[[The Man With No Name]]'', is a ''[[Firefly]]''/''Doctor Who'' crossover, which some say should be officially added to [[Canon]].
** Yet it ''very'' strangely lists one of the unofficial rules of the internet dealing with crossovers (specifically, [[Touhou|rule (9)]]
