BBCA runs both Doc Who and ST TNG, so it only violates the currently running rule. From a certain point of view.

Actually TNG never aired on a network when it was new in the first place. I miss first run syndication (for stuff other than talkshows and judges anyway).

Networks have less to do with it than who actually owns the shows, though. So thanks for helping me figure out why he made those restrictions.

Unfortunately, I don’t watch many current shows, so all I can come up with is having the Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother people show up in character on the Late Late Show. And that’s not all that great. The only interaction that I think might be at all interesting would be Sheldon and Barney.

This is more of a reality-based what if, dealing with crossovers that could actually happen. That is the reason I stipulated the two rules in the OP.

I had forgotten that “ST:TNG” was, unlike the others, syndicated.

Are you familiar with the [Streisand Effect](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect)?

Because I was thinking it would be cool to see the Streisand Effect do a crossover with Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausages.

Along the lines of the _Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D./Once Upon A Time_ crossover I brought up in the OP, A think a SYFY Channel _Warehouse 13/Haven_ crossover would work, with the Warehousers mistakenly attributing the goings on in Haven to an unrecorded artifact.

As far as _Bones_ is concerned, after the “Stewie” episode _anything_ is possible.

Top Gear and St: TNG.

The guys could compare the different starships and do goofy stunts with them. Wesley Crusher is the Stig.
