Oh cool !
Predator Mutineers of Madness !
In reference to crossovers between shows. Here's what I remember: some of the doctors from
Elsewhere have drinks at
Cheers, where one of the characters is Frasier (also, Carla the waitress went to the same hospital when she was pregnant). After moving to Seattle to work on radio, Frasier gets a call from John Hemingway, who's from the
John Laroquette Show. The company Yoyodyne is mentioned in that show (I think they made the bus stop waiting shed across the street), and it's one of the clients of the firm in the show
Angel. Another of the clients is Weyland-Yutani, which also made weapon systems, etc., for
Alien and
Firefly (where the ship used shows up in
Battlestar Galactica), and one half of the company is mentioned in
Blade Runner. As for Yoyodyne, they would later make starships used in
Star Trek.
Meanwhile, Frasier's brother, Niles, and his wife, Daphne, view some of Caroline's cartoons in
Caroline in the City. I think one of Caroline's partners was Frasier's former boss at the radio station. Later, they have a meal somewhere where they're served by Ursula, Phoebe's twin sister from
Friends. I think some of the other characters from the latter show up in that show and in
Seinfeld, where one of the characters, Kramer, offers to sublet an apartment to Paul of
Mad About You.
In which case, Paul might be Burke's ancestor, i.e., Burke from
Aliens. LOL.
It gets worse: one of the doctors paged at
Elsewhere is BJ Hunnicut from
MASH. Another doctor from the same hospital is paged in
Degrassi High. The hospital where Winchester from
MASH eventually works is mentioned in
X-Files. One of the ex-agents that protagonists in
X-Files meets is from
Millennium; maybe he's an ancestor from the maternal side of Weyland.
There are more. Yes, some of the links look weak (like Yoyodyne) and others are based on odes to other shows or probably involve re-use of props, etc. (like one of the ships from
Aliens seen as wreckage in one episode of
Red Dwarf), but imagining these connections look fun.
So imagine what zany crossovers of these shows might look like; maybe something like
Blazing Saddles and
Airplane.
