* The "Tommy Westphall Universe" (or, alternatively, "The John Munch Principle") ties dozens of television series from the 1970's to the present through the characters of Tommy Westphall from ''[[St. Elsewhere]]'' (who is revealed to have imagined the entire series in the final scene of the final episode) and [[John Munch]], the Baltimore detective who has made crossover appearances in many television series (including the ''[[Law & Order]]'' canon, ''[[The X-Files]]'' and ''[[Homicide: Life on the Street]]''). Thanks to Munch's crossovers and cameos, as well as shared elements and names that occur between different franchises and series, a theorem was developed showcasing the connections. More than ''90%'' of all television shows are connected via crossover, including the entire ''[[All in The Family]]'' franchise, ''[[The Wire]]'', the entire ''[[Law & Order]]'' franchise, every major medical drama made in the 90's and 00's, and many more.

* Apparently among Mr. Roark's ''[[Fantasy Island]]'' magical, mystical abilities is the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_g_4C7-2Dg power to crossover] with other [[Aaron Spelling]] series.
* The episodes of ''[[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit]]'' and ''[[Law & Order: Trial by Jury]]'' titled "Night" and "Day," respectively, were crossovers of each other on the same night. The major characters from each series appeared on both episodes, which dealt with a rapist. ''SVU'' focused on the investigation and arrest of the rapist, while ''Trial by Jury'' focused on the trial. (There was some discontinuity here. At the end of ''SVU'', the case was declared a slamdunk. At the beginning of ''TBJ'', the case became a sure loser.)
