Side note on “crossovers we wish could have happened”: I would have loved to see an X-Files/Early Edition crossover. Still wish Mythbusters meets Rocket City Rednecks could happen. ---

There was an episode of **Roseanne** where Roseanne Connor met Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone at a party. That’s not only a cross-network (ABC & the BBC) crossover, but an international one too. ---

…the duo of Eli Levinson and Denise Iannello (played by Alan Rosenberg and Debi Mazar) moved from Civil Wars (ABC) to LA Law (NBC). ---

_Dharma and Greg_ was an ABC show produced by Chuck Lorre. The two characters later made a cameo appearance on _Two and a Half Man_, a Lorre show on CBS. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > _Dharma and Greg_ was an ABC show produced by Chuck Lorre. The two characters later made a cameo appearance on _Two and a Half Man_, a Lorre show on CBS. When the _Mission: Impossible_ series got revived in the '80s, it had jumped networks from CBS to ABC, giving everyone from Peter Graves to Greg Morris to Lynda Day George a chance to reprise their roles; for bonus points, this also ropes in the arguable Barney Collier appearance on _The Jeffersons_. ---

> [@kunilou](#): > > Two of the characters from the NBC soap _Santa Barbara_ crossed over to _LA Law_, which ended in May 1994. _Chicago Hope_ premiered in September 1994. No, the characters didn’t cross. The actors did. (There was a joking reference to the actor having been on the soap, but it wasn’t a character move.) Also, an actor reprising one of their famous roles years after that show has gone off the air isn’t a really a crossover. A crossover is when two currently airing shows collide. ---
