Green Hornet and Kato on the 1967 Batman episode “A Piece of the Action” with Roger C.
Carmel as the heel “Col. Gumm.” Also appearing: Diane McBain, Alex Rocco (as a hench), Seymour Cassel and Angelique Pettyjohn (as “1st Model.”)
“Instead of the usual “Special Guest Villain”, Van Williams as the Green Hornet and Bruce Lee as Kato are billed as “Visiting Hero” and “Assistant Visiting Hero”, respectively.”
Just watched this. As to be expected it was much tamer than Always Sunny. It’s always worth an opportunity to see the gang back together again. I don’t think they’ve ever committed to ending the series so maybe this is a sign of more to come.
Then of course there was “Scoobynatural”— the Supernatural/Scooby Doo crossover. Lots of fun, with the Winchesters becoming comic versions of themselves solving a crime.
Nobody’s going to mention this was a twenty year old thread?
Not the best maybe but The Simpsons did a couch gag that crossed over with Rick and Morty which is what inspired me to checkout the latter show and I ended up loving it.
I scrolled past a YouTube thumbnail showing a Barney Miller crossover with Welcome Back Kotter. Maybe. The “kids” from Welcome Back were in the jail cell with Barney and Wojo talking to them from outside the cell.
I say maybe because I didn’t click on the thumbnail, so I don’t know for sure that it was a crossover. Because I didn’t click, I can imagine that it was, and that it was hilarious. I did not want to be disappointed.
The Winchesters go back and “prove” everything the Scooby gang saw was fake. The idea that the Winchesters were such big fans is strangely heartwarming.
The Bionic Woman was a spinoff from the Six Million Dollar Man so some crossovers were expected. They had many, until the former moved to a different network. Five weekly episodes featured both. When both series were cancelled, three movies of the week were made in 1987, 1989, and 1994. After running out of silly gimmicks to postpone their romance, the producers finally let them get married in the last movie.
FWIW, the corresponding “Always Sunny” episode was at its normal TV-MA level, It was hilarious to see the Abbot Elementary cast using Always Sunny appropriate profanity.
There was the South Park episode where Cartman realized he was a cartoon character, and left the show in order to spread his brand of evil across all the networks, only to be stopped by an un-named, spiky-haired, yellow-skinned boy on a skateboard.
I’ll tell you what I think is the worst crossover ever: when Warner Brothers decided to make a Roadrunner cartoon substituting Bugs Bunny for the roadrunner. If I remember correctly Wile also talks to us throughout the cartoon.
I can’t recall the name of it, but there was a cartoon parody of “Jack and the Beanstalk” where the giant was named “Alfred.” You didn’t see his face until the very end when he was revealed to be Alfred E. Neuman and it ended with him saying, “What? Me Worry.”
In comic strips, Peanuts had a story line where Charlie Brown kept seeing the sun as a giant baseball. The finale was that he didn’t see the baseball: he saw Alfred E. Neuman.
Those Old Scientists. Remarkable for crossing cartoon characters into live action and having them portrayed by their voice actors. Also a hilarious episode with some surprisingly good emotional moments.
One of the oddest crossovers was Sleepy Hollow and Bones. I don’t really remember anything about it except that when I saw it I thought, “Well, this is … different.”
As to the possible Friends/ER crossover, I’ve never seen it but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t really a crossover. Didn’t Friends take place in New York? ER took place in Chicago.
In the episode “The One With Two Parts, Part 2” from season 1 of Friends, George Clooney and Noah Wyle are part of the supporting cast as Dr. Michael Mitchell and Dr. Jeffrey Rosen, respectively
So, not so much a crossover as two actors from one show playing similar characters on another show.
Reminds me of the I LOVE LUCY episode where (a) George Reeves is playing Superman, and (b) they never explicitly spell out whether it’s a crossover, with George Reeves playing Superman, or whether it’s just — well, yes, George Reeves, playing Superman.
