[QUOTE=NJ\_Kef] In a novel by Barbara Hambly called [Ishmael](http://www.amazon.com/Ishmael-Star-Trek-No-23/dp/0671743554/ref=sr_1_15/002-0902850-0117659?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1179532075&sr=8-15) , Mr. Spock travels back through time to 19th century Seattle to foil a Klingon plot involving his human ancestor Aaron Stempel (played by Mark Lenard) and the cast of [Here Come the Brides](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Come_the_Brides) . [/QUOTE] Several others appeared in walk-ons. The Cartwrights, from _Bonanza_, _Paladin_, and several others appear. ---

There was the hurricane that swept through **Golden Girls** , **Empty Nest** and **some other show I can’t remember that was in the same universe**. I didn’t watch the shows before or after **Murphy Brown** , but I remember two story threads that went through the CBS Monday lineup. One was about a low-speed chase a la OJ, the other was about Liz Taylor’s diamonds being stolen. **SmartAleq** , Mork started out on **Happy Days** because Garry Marshall, while very high on Robin Williams himself, wanted to see how audiences reacted before giving him his own show. **Mork and Mindy** premiered shortly afterwards, and Mork did make another guest appearance after that. Also, Mork once made a totally gratuitous guest appearance on the premiere of another ABC (non-Marshall) show. And I don’t know if this counts as a crossover, but I clearly remember Daffy Duck applying for a job with Drew Carey. ---

Don’t forget the greatest series of cross-overs ever, between the _Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres_, and _Pettycoat Junction_. Hooterville must have been a hoot! ---

**3rd Rock From The Sun** had Dick & Mary (played by Jane Curtin) visit a Science Fiction convention. There was a priceless look on Mary’s face when they passed a couple of people dressed as _Coneheads_. (For all you young 'uns, Jane Curtin was an original Conehead on SNL). ---
