I’ve seen both, and I agree with you.

If you have a thread that is about one subject, and another thread about another subject, what is so difficult about posting about the first subject in the first thread, and posting about the second subject in the second thread? Posting whatever passes through your mind no matter what the actual topic of the thread is may be “super awesome” to _you_, but I happen to have a different opinion on that practice. I deliberately set out to start a thread on _possible_ television cross-overs, thus the two simple to understand and follow rules in the OP.

Thanks once again. Believe it or not, I don’t think I’ve seen a single episode of _Louie_.

I really don’t know, but this question is pretty far off-topic. Could you please retread the OP and familiarize yourself with the thread guidelines that were clearly laid out?

No.

Back to the topic. I think an _NCIS_/_Person Of Interest_ crossover would be interesting, with Gibbs and Reese arguing over who breaks the most rules while trying to get the job done.

Except that there have been plenty of cross-overs between shows on different networks, and between shows that aren’t running concurrently, so your rules don’t really make a lot of sense.

Do you have any on-topic contributions you’d like to make?

And yet another off-topic post! Why can’t you follow instructions, Czarcasm?

This thread is really devolving with all of this hijacking. If the OP would just stick to their own rules we could have a fun discussion about realistic TV crossovers without all of this clutter.

Well, Raj needs a love interest and Penny could use a job on a highly popular web program that leverages her geek connections…

Since the real Wil Wheaton is on the show, the cast of Big Bang could go on Wheaton’s gaming show in character - it could be simulcast on BBT as well as Tabletop. It’s a little bit of a stretch from the OP’s guidelines, but it’s certainly in-universe for BBT. Czarcasm, have you assembled an advisory committee yet that could let us know if this is an acceptable topic to discuss for 2 or 3 posts?

Arrested Development / House of Cards

ETA: oops, I meant the original Arrested Development and the british House of Cards. Taking it to the other thread.

I would like to see a cross between “Star” and “Wars”.

Also possibly, “Bat” and “Men”.

From the Fox Network, I could see a _Glee_/_X-Factor_ crossover.

I’d like to see the “Moonshiners” switch places with the Alaska Gold miners.

Everyone who has contributed to the argument about compliance with the OP – including the OP – is off-topic. Either participate in the thread or don’t. If you want to bitch each other out, take it to the Pit.

I could see an X-Factor/X-Files crossover, as Mulder and Scully investigate a cerebral parasite that transmits itself by ear-worm.

\<slightly off topic\> I’m on Netflix here – The Dom Rep – and we get a fair amount of stuff; just not the same/or as much and the US. Currently, Hulu & Amazon streaming aren’t legal here. Bottom line, anyone know of any truly international streaming services in English? I haven’tt had much luck Googling for them – mostly scams.\<end off/topic, with a hat tip to **Czarcarsm** \>

BTW, I really enjoyed [**Life**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_(NBC_TV_series)) with Damian Lewis as Charlie Crews – can’t believe that show got cancelled…I was so left wanting for more!
