What tv shows could exist in the same universe?

Didn't Worf appear in an episode of Webster? I vaguely recall that. Or was that Michael Dorn in Worf make-up?

I think Lost and Twin Peaks could easily fit into the same universe. Damon Lindelof was a huge fan of Twin Peaks so I doubt he'd mind mixing his show with Twin Peaks.

Any of the Stephen J. Cannell shows could exist side by side so Hunter, the A-Team and Riptide could all exist in the same universe.

I don't think they could really fit but how about Lost and Heroes? I think it's possible that Oceanic Flight 815's pilot and Matt Parkman were twins separated at birth. They look so much alike.
 
Actually, I think LOST and ALIAS were in the same universe. I seem to recall Charlie's song "We are Everybody" playing in the background at a party on ALIAS . . . .
 
If you just want to talk about crossovers, look no further than here.

It doesn't look like it's been updated in almost two years, but there's plenty to see.
 
Shows I'd LIKE to see in one universe, with big crossover eps:
Dexter
Burn Notice
Bad Boys
Miami Vice (old & new)

Because they're all set in one place. :D

Imagine:
MICHAEL WESTIN: I think you should drop the gun and hand me my yoghurt

MIKE LOWREY: Oh, I don't think so!

(cue mayhem)

When my wife and I started watching Dexter recently, I had the same thought: Michael Weston and Dexter Morgan operate in the same city!

Of course, I'd love to see Angus MacGyver and Michael Weston team up, though MacGyver's "no gun" policy wouldn't fly well with Michael and the gang (especially Fiona).

Incidentally, reading the page someone linked above, I love the idea for this crossover!
 
CSI, CSI Miami, CSI: NY, Cold Case, and Without a Trace have all had characters crossover. You could probably easily throw any other CBS crime show into the mix without causing problems. I'm actually surprised we haven't seen a Criminal Minds/CSI crossover yet.

The Forgotten would also fit in the CSI universe as well. They both have a FedEx type delivery service called World Send, same logo and everything.

Monk and Psych could be in the same universe..
I'm still mystified over why no crossover special was ever done...

How about Warehouse 13 with The Middleman (which I've just stared watching).
Stargate and Primeval
Chuck and Knight Rider :D
 
Dexter & CSI Miami could be fun,....

God, I would LOVE Dexter to "meet" David Caruso's character on CSI: Miami. :lol:

I'd also like to see some crossover between Burn Notice and Dexter---even just a passing mention of The Bay Harbor Butcher would be nice.
 
"The only question left is... how does a serial killer... (puts on sunglasses) ...like his cereal?"

YYYEEEAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
 
Maybe The X-Files is a documentary in that universe. ;)
Kinda like Cops...

Which, incidentally, crossed over with The X-Files, so Cops can be added to the Munchverse list, too! :lol:

I once heard someone suggest the idea that in The X Files universe, there is a show titled The X Files. We know CGB Spender had lots of power, and what better way to discredit Mulder's work by creating a sci fi show based on his work?
 
Sliders was practically designed to cross over with anything, but it never blatantly did. The closest it came was strangely enough a crossover with The Twilight Zone; the Sliders were going to land in the corn field and meet the grown up Bill Mumy character. Ultimately fell apart, and that might be for the best; it seemed like an odd pairing in my opinion.
 
I've got one a lot of people don't know about: Star Trek (Roddenberry universe) and seaQuest.

Points of linkage: in one seaQuest episode, there is a plaque on the grounds of an institution (IIRC a university) commemorating the launch of the Nomad probe, and in one episode of TNG, a computer file showing the record of a Starfleet officer lists the USS Seaquest as a ship he had served on.

Furthermore, the depiction of early 21st century US, as shown in the parts of "Past Tense" (the 2-parter about the Bell Riots) set OUTSIDE the Sanctuary District portray a world stylistically and functionally much like that of seaQuest's US. The conflicts mentioned in the SQ back story could easily have been the Eugenics Wars. The Dagger/GELF crisis in SQ could easily be the "final straw" that led to the banning of genetic engineering. And the UEO fits nicely in the gap between the end of the old UN, and could be the seed of the "New United Nations" mentioned in "Encounter at Farpoint".

The UEO/Macronesia confrontation in the later part of SQ S3 could have been a precursor to a period of global unrest that culminated in WW III.

I really like that one. :)

Ditto, I totally agree and had similar beliefs myself, over the years.

Another, really old possibility.

Tales of the Gold Monkey and Baa Baa Blacksheep.
 
There was an ER / Third Watch crossover, as I recall (same producers).

"All in the Family" and "Maude" and "The Jeffersons" and Ithink "Rhoda" but I'm not sure.
Rhoda was in the same universe as the Mary Tyler Moore Show. The others are right, though.

Add "Good Times" to the "All in the Family" group. And "Phyllis" to the "MTM" group.

ETA: Add "Lou Grant" to the "MTM" group.

And there's "Happy Days," "Laverne and Shirley," "Joanie Loves Chachi," and "Mork and Mindy."



Actually, I think LOST and ALIAS were in the same universe. I seem to recall Charlie's song "We are Everybody" playing in the background at a party on ALIAS . . . .

Yup! But it's "You All, Everybody."
 
24 and Prison Break could exist in the same universe, especially when you consider the absurdity of the conspiracy and how far up it goes.
