Having a [[Crossover]] between two related shows is one thing—hey, it's not inconceivable that some of the ''[[Cheers]]'' cast should turn up in its [[Spin-Off]] show ''[[Frasier]]'', is it? Or that the ''[[CSI]]'' team might help out the guys in ''[[CSI: NY]]'' every now and again.

* Part of the Red Ribbon Army story arc on ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' had Goku chasing Captain Blue to Penguin Village, the setting of Akira Toriyama's earlier manga/anime, ''[[Doctor Slump]]'', and featured appearances by Arale, Dr. Norimaki, and several other characters. This appeared in the manga and anime (since both shows were made by Toei and aired on Fuji TV); moreover, when ''[[Doctor Slump]]'' was animated again in 1997, a new ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' crossover was written in.

** Toriyama already did that in ''Dr. Slump'' itself: there was one chapter where the characters traveled to Wonder Island, the set of the titular manga (and Toriyama's very first published work).

*** This could be because Oceanic Airlines is a generic name that a lot of shows use. [[Wikipedia|The Other Wiki]] has [[wikipedia:Oceanic Airlines|details]].

** Also, the {{spoiler|big "cork" on the bottle of evil}} at the end of the show pretty closely resembles {{spoiler|a [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Hellmouth]].}} Probably not intentional, but wouldn't it explain just about ''everything''?

* Speaking of ''[[Lost]]'', one of Chef Robert Irvine's missions on ''[[Dinner Impossible]]'' was to cook for the cast of ''[[Lost]]''. Though it was clear to everyone that ''[[Lost]]'' is only a television show, Nestor Carbonell did appear in character as Richard Alpert and Robert was given several Dharma food drops to work with, so it qualifies somewhat for this trope.

* In an episode of ''[[Reba]]'' involving a court, the judge is obviously intended to be Philip Banks from ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|The Fresh Prince of Bel Air]],'' and is played by the same actor, despite ''Reba'' taking place in Houston and ''Fresh Prince'' taking place in California.

* ''[[Crossing Jordan]]'' and ''[[Las Vegas]]'' crossed over so often that it probably doesn't even qualify as Intercontinuity Crossover. They certainly take place far enough apart geographically that it's plausible that they're within the same continuity. I think that the ''[[Crossing Jordan]]'' characters made one more appearance in ''[[Las Vegas]]'' after their own show had been canceled, though both shows are now finished.
