I’ve looked and there doesn’t seem to have been a crossover wish list in at least the last 10 years, so apologies if I’ve missed one. So what movie or tv crossovers would you like to see and how would you expect to see them play out. I’ll take one of the low hanging fruits and one that occurred to me and prompted this thread. The easy one. Blade and Twilight. Because obviously. The other. Dresden and Constantine. They would either get along like gang busters or like two cats with their tails tied together. Okay. One bonus that literally came up on my FB feed while I was typing this up. Supernatural and Dr Who. The endless debate. Winchesters. There’s no such thing as aliens. They’re really ghosts. The Doctor. There’s no such thing as ghosts. They’re really aliens. ---

I’ve always wanted to see the discussed but never achieved cross-over between **Doctor Who** & **Star Trek**. Around the time of Next Generation there was some semi-serious talk about it. Kind of late now, but **Taxi** and pretty much any other NYC based show. **Barney Miller** and **Night Court**. That would be tough as several semi-regulars one Barney Miller guests on Night Court, including Mrs. Fish who was playing her character from **My Two Dads** , a family court judge. But Mr. Bender showed up several times too as different characters. ---

I would have liked **X-Files** and **Grimm**. Have to agree with @What_Exit that **Barney Miller** and **Night Court** would have been fun. ---

It would have to be done as a “portal opens between two parallel universes” but I imagined **Castle** encountering **Law & Order**. ---

> [@Projammer](#): > > The other. Dresden and Constantine. They would either get along like gang busters or like two cats with their tails tied together. I’d have to say the latter, although it depends on the version of Constantine you use. Most of the earlier ones have that character being supremely selfish, bordering on evil. Dresden, for all his flaws, is arguably good, or at least, good intentioned, who has to occasionally compromise his morals. But they’d probably have a grudging respect for each other - while hating each others guts. One I’d like to see, although I could easily make the fan-wank claim that nothing proves they DON’T coexist, is the Preacher (mostly the comic, not show) and the American Gods (book again, not the TV) franchises. 🙂 A second I’d like to see is the Terminator Universe plus any vampire series of note (Vampire The Masquerade, Forever Knight, etc). Because I’d love to see the supernatural brush up against the AI War, and find themselves forced to fight because if the machines win, they starve. And the image of a vampire biting the next of an Ahhhhnold T-101 only to be turned to and casually punched through a wall always gives me a grin. Lastly, I have (somewhere) an old copy of the Robocop vs Terminator comic (and there’s apparently a video game version as well), which I’d love to see as a TV Miniseries or full movie series. Because, well, damn… ---

I’d like to see a pair of episodes in a police procedural and some supernatural show, each episode shows the same “crime” told from the point of view of the protagonists of each show, and they put their own spin on the evidence they find. In the end, each team thinks they “solved” the case, their way, but did they? ETA, during the episodes, the protagonists from each show repeatedly run into the characters from the other show and conflict ensues as each side pursues the truth. Those run-ins should be shown from different camera angles on each show that might show how each side gets a different impression about what just happened. ---
