Line 278:
*** Several characters (portrayed by the same actor/actress) have appeared from one show to the other, completing the belief that all three shows exist in the same 'universe'.
*** Not exactly. The universes where clearly different, with Pushing Daisies being retro-cute, Dead Like Me being fairly normal (save the supernatural elements) and Wonderfalls somewhere in between. All of them do carry themes of fantasy, uniqueness, life and death, golden retrievers and touching people.
* Some people believe ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]](2004 TV series)|the reimagined ''Battlestar Galactica'']] to be not only a remake of the earlier ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic(1978 TV series)|BSG]]'', but also to have adopted enough elements from ''[[Firefly]]'' to be considered a spiritual successor.
* Most of Jack Webb's later series (e.g., ''[[Adam-12]]'', ''[[Emergency]]'', ''[[Project UFO]]'') can be considered spiritual successors to his own ''[[Dragnet]]''. They all share a basic approach—following the professional lives of dedicated public servants, filmed in the style of a [[Police Procedural]].
* ''[[The Borgias]]'' to ''[[The Tudors]]''.
