Line 332:
* ''[[Undocumented Features]]'' (given that it's a [[Mega Crossover]] and spans at least five centuries) has many, often spawned from the works that make it up, including the ''[[Star Trek|Battlecruiser Vengeance]]'' franchise (a long-running Klingon TV show/movie property with many different films and sequel series), ''[[Sakura Taisen|The Adventures of Red Lad]]'', the ''[[Sakura Taisen|Crimson Lizard]]'' series of movies, ''[[American Chopper|Avalon Chopper]]'', ''[[Doctor Who|Dalek]] [[James Bond|207]]'', and the ''[[Zatoichi|New Century Zatoichi]]'' films. "TV listings" for New Avalon are occasionally posted to the EPU forums listing even more programs, along with fun capsule descriptions.
** Special mention should be made of ''Professor Enigma,'' a BBC-TV series that has been running almost continuously for 500 years. Based on the adventures of the "real" [[Doctor Who|Doctor]] -- who has actually made a guest appearance on the show -- its current Professor is played by actress and former Companion Rose Tyler; its production staff travels around the galaxy in a real, if decrepit, TARDIS to film on location.)
** Of particular interest as of late summer 2014 is ''Fly Girls!'', an entire anime/manga series being created out of whole cloth by the EPU Forum members in a [http://www.eyrie-productions.com/Forum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=143&forum=DCForumID19&viewmode=all strange, interactive semi-roleplay manner.] Inspired by a dream he had, Gryphon described it as
{{quote|"''[[Upotte!!]]'' with airplanes". The cast appeared to consist mainly of personified World War II fighter aircraft (with character traits inspired by quirks of the aircraft, in the style of the gun girls of ''[[Upotte!!]]''), who attend various rival high schools and do aerial battle (at the controls of, erm, "themselves", ''[[Arpeggio of Blue Steel|Arpeggio]]''-like) for interscholastic prestige (à la ''[[Girls und Panzer]]'').}}
::Posters on the EPU forum began creating the "canon" for ''Fly Girls!'' by spontaneously discussing their "memories" of their favorite episodes, characters and moments in the show and/or manga (and movies, and OVAs), which are slowly being accumulated into a [http://www.eyrie-productions.com/Forum-docs/DCForumID19/144.html single comprehensive document].
::* A side effect of this thread is the occasional expansion of knowledge about the UF 'verse's entertainment industry. For instance a 2409 Tony-winning Broadway musical entitled ''[[The Producers|Springtime for]] [[Bubblegum Crisis|Largo]]''.
* ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'' makes frequent reference to a children's program called ''The Fuzzy Family'' of which Alex and several other characters are fans.
