Star Wars and Star Trek. Which could be a glorious trainwreck. **My pet theory** : The Q (From Star Trek) are Force Users that become one with The Force and the Q character played by John de Lancie was grooming Picard to joining them. ---

I would love to see a crossover that explains how The Matrix is set in the distant future of The Terminator universe ---

> [@Kent\_Clark](#): > > The John Steed **Avengers** and… How about _the Avengers_ and _The Prisoner_; Steed and Mrs. Peel get taken to the Village and easily unravel its secrets while looking fabulous. Maybe a _Rockford Files/Moonlighting_ crossover. David Addison would make a good foil for Jim. ---

I always hoped that the Patrick O’Brian Aubrey/Maturin novels would have some of Jane Austen’s naval characters from Persuasion show up, but AFAICT they never did. I don’t know if any filmed versions of A/M have seized that missed opportunity. Also, as I’ve said before, I really want to see Jackie Chan and Shah Rukh Khan co-starring in a Hong Kong/Bollywood style mashup action thriller comedy. ---

I suppose _Sharpe_ and _Hornblower_ would work as a British Army/Navy crossover during the Napoleonic Wars. For added fun, throw in _Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell_. ---

I’d like to see a crossover between The Closer and Reno 911. I can just see Detective Sanchez blowing up at the goofballs in Reno, and the damage in L.A. when the Reno 911 crew arrives with all of their antics. Hilarity ensues. ---

Kung Fu Hustle needs to be mixed with something. But I’m just not sure what. Seeing the landlady lay a beatdown on some unsuspecting slob would be hilarious. Ideas? ---

Or Kirk and Vetinari have to deal with each other. (I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the latter has a plan…) And Vimes would meet a redshirt and figure out how to save him or her. Or if he couldn’t, he’d make sure justice was meted out… ---

Okay, I just thought of a good one: The Walking Dead meets Z-Nation. TWD guys are being all angsty about how “humans are the real monsters” while screwing up all the time, and run across this band of people who are just having as much fun as they can while trying to save the world. Doc keeps offering Rick a joint, and Rick says, “You know I used to be a cop, right?” and Doc says, “Hey, I don’t hold that against you!” ---

The part of me that loves absurdism would have loved to cross it with Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, prior to the most recent movie. ☹ The thought of seeing some historical figure get in the landlady’s face and getting an epic beatdown while the duo said “Excellent!” would have been worth the price of admission. Or you can cross it with any series that takes itself just a bit too seriously, and/or leans too much into the Grimdark. For example, The Walking Dead - the survivors rush to a separate living block of apartments, strangely untouched by the surrounding sprawl, only to find out WHY the undead give it such a distance! ---

**Miami Vice** and **The Andy Griffith Show**. Crockett, Tubbs, Taylor, and Fife fighting vice on the mean streets of Miami. Otis would be a coke dealer, Gomer would run a car theft ring, Howard would be a numbers runner, Aunt Bee would be a street hooker, and Floyd “the Razor” would be her pimp. The theme song would have Miami Vice’s melody, but whistled.
