* ''[[The Earth Day Special]]'', which aired on [[ABC]] in 1990, was a huge crossover featuring just about every pop culture icon from [[The Eighties]] in a very bizarre, thoroughly nonsensical plot.

* In the ''[[CSI]]''-verse, the original series crossed over with the Miami series in 2002 to serve as the pilot for the latter; the Miami series then crossed over with the New York series in 2004 to serve as that series' pilot, and the series crossed over again in a two-hour storyline in 2005. The original series also crossed over with ''[[Without a Trace]]'' in 2007 a two-hour storyline across both series. Following the departure of William Petersen (who opposed the spinoffs and did not appear in any scenes featuring the Miami team in "Cross Jurisdictions"), CBS put together a massive crossover in 2009 spanning all three series that involved the Las Vegas series' Raymond Langston going to Miami and New York while investigating a human trafficking organisation.
