Welcome to another Question of the Day. Today's question comes from Leonie1988 who asks
"What is your ideal TV Crossover Episode?"
From Leonie
"Crossovers have been done many times, in small ways. It's mostly one character or two who visit the other show.
If you could put together an ultimate crossover extravaganza with three or four shows (cancelled or present), which would it be and why?
I would throw together NCIS with Weeds and The Pretender.
The NCIS team could chase the Botwins and Jarod could pose as a drug dealer. Miss Parker could try to bribe Nancy into telling her were Jarod is, while also being chased by NCIS. Oh that would be great! Though it would have to be three hours long at least."
Great question Leonie!
There are so many I can think of. X-Files/Fringe, Heroes/Sarah Connor, LOST/Chuck but I think I'd have to go with something like Fringe and Dollhouse.
So what about you, what would your ideal TV Crossover be? Which shows and why, and what can you think of for a plotline?
Get creative and sound off in the comments.


lost and fringe ... olivia should wake up on the island at the end of the series
ReplyDeleteMerlin and Doctor Who. The Doctor travels back to an early Camelot and meets them and Uther's all 'SORCERY!' and crazy stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteX Files / Supernatural !!
ReplyDeleteSupernatural and The Walking Dead
ReplyDeleteFringe and Torchwood. Walter meets Captain Jack Harkness... would be great!
ReplyDeleteFringe/White Collar.
ReplyDeleteSomeone could be using unusual methods to steal/forge art in NY and it attracts the attention of Fringe Division. Mostly wanting this because I ship Peter Bishop/Neal Caffrey LIKE A BOSS.
I know Monk is over, but I would've love to have seen Shawn Spencer and Adrien Monk have to work together.
ReplyDeleteOf course the big one I could think of would be Jack Bauer and Michael Weston.
I also love someone's idea of Torchwood and Fringe.
Fringe and Mad Men.
ReplyDeleteThe Merry Pranksters paint Draper Sterling Cooper Price's offices walls with acid. Walter and Bell are among them.
The observer tells Don and Roger what excellent fashion sense they have.
Perhaps this is the plot to 3.19?
fringe/x-files or fringe/dollhouse or fringe/lost
ReplyDeleteForgot to add a retro 60s opener with fringe science such as "wireless telephones," "automatic transmission," "birth control pill" etc.
ReplyDeleteWe may as well say Fringe and Twin Peaks, given the several homages to the latter!
ReplyDeleteFringe and Sister Wives. Peter can marry both Olivias. It's okay.
ReplyDeleteA striking case of immense consequence leads Patty Hewes and co. to California for the clusterf*ck case of the century. However, when she arrives, her attempts to keep one step ahead of the FBI who lead their own investigation are squashed when she meets the up-and-comer Veronica Mars, lead FBI agent on the case. The two go head-to-head in a battle of wits that leads to something never seen on television before. (Season arc instead of a 1-episode type thing)
ReplyDeleteWould love to see HRG either working for the company or Widmore and chasing after the Oceanic 6 or Fox River 8.
ReplyDeleteOr the Airja flight landing back in America to find the world is The Walking Dead and looking to hook up with the gang of survivors there.
I think it would be cool for the people of LOST to get off the island only to find themselves in the world of The Walking Dead. Island don't seem so bad now, does it? lol
ReplyDeleteWalking dead and Jersey Shore, so I could see those assholes get eaten.
ReplyDeleteNCIS and Rizzoli & Isles. It would be interesting to see how they handled the Kate look alike.
ReplyDeleteor
NCIS with Criminal Minds. Garcia & Abby would get along oh so well. =]
CSI Miami/Dexter. Just so that Dexter can kill Horatio, really.
ReplyDeleteYou win.
ReplyDeleteFringe/White Collar. It'd basically be Peter/Neal PWP.
ReplyDeleteI don't have an ideal crossover but I do have a few I'd like to see...
ReplyDeleteNikita / Human Target
House / Grey's Anatomy (I would LOVE to see House treat everyone at SGH like idiots for an hour.)
Supernatural / Reno 911!
Chuck / Psych
Fringe/Twin Peaks, would love to see Dale Cooper helping the Fringe team. :-)
ReplyDeleteFringe/Doctor Who, Doctor Who/Buffy, Supernatural/Fringe.
ReplyDeleteOK, so all of those would be just plain bizarre...
Fringe/Supernatural The Winchester could come from another universe - black opening titles for Fringe - and bring angels and demons to the Fringe verse. I just want Walter to make fun of Castiel that's all. Lol
ReplyDeleteWell if we're talking crossovers that haven't happened yet: I'm still waiting for a "Bones" and "House" crossover, because I think having House and Bones interacting would cause many televisions to implode.
ReplyDeleteIf we're talking more crossovers then: "Warehouse 13" and "Eureka" again, because I fell in love with Fargo/Claudia and I want them to see eachother (and even end their respective series together - they're PERFECT)! Plus, I'd love if we got more characters on the shows to crossover. Maybe explain a familiar connection between Dr. Carlson and Artie.
I'm still disappointed that the Bones / Lie To Me crossover never panned out.
ReplyDeleteGive me The Mentalist and House, and I'll have the paradise!!!
ReplyDeleteHIMYM and Buffy! Willow escaped to the HIMYM world and created a new identity. So did Wes and Fred. Then the Powers That Be call all three back because their help is needed. (Fanfic idea that's been stuck in my head for years.)
ReplyDeleteBut Dean and Sam would fix the zombie thing in an episode, thus making The Walking Dead a 1 episode show.
ReplyDeleteStill...I do love that idea.
Supernatural/Criminal Minds. I'd love to see what the team would make of the Winchester brothers.
ReplyDeleteFRINGE / Bones
ReplyDeleteBones / Glee
Fringe / The Event
Eureka / Warehouse 13 ( Yes Again! )
I'd love to see a crossover of.... Castle and Bones!!! :D :D :D (Crossover between my own life and X-Files would be seriously awesome and flailseizure-inducing).
ReplyDeleteI'm replying to my own post (fail!) but I forgot to add, Doctor Who and Fringe! They could do that.... that multiplying thing, remember when the Doctor multiplied into 2, and one of them went to live with Rose? :D Well Peter could be multiplied, so both Olivias would get their own Peter. No need to fight over one man. xD
ReplyDeleteDEXTER / DAMAGES / BREAKING BAD
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP.
If Walter White meets Dexter meets Patty Hewes...My mind would just rip apart!
Monk and Psych? Thats like a dream! :) Love that idea
ReplyDeleteDAMN fine coffee! :D And HOT!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the Sheriff shoot Znookie (Zombie Snookie!) in the face with a shotgun.
ReplyDeletethat would be an awesome crossover
ReplyDeleteStargate SG1/NCIS - When I think of all the dead Marines at Cheyenne Mountain, I just itch to see Gibbs charging in to see what's going on and who's covering up what. Plus, if they took Abby with them? Abby meeting Teal'c? Gold :-) But as fun as that would be, it would be more likely to start with a sailor or Marine whose behavior suddenly changes drastically and who ends up dead and on Ducky's table with a strange wound in the back of his throat. The team would be racing to find the answers while the SGC was racing to contain exposure while also looking for where the Goa'uld took refuge. The showdown between Jack and Gibbs would be incredible.
ReplyDeleteNurse Jackie AND The Sopranos. Tony could end up in hospital with amnesia and tell Jackie that she reminds him of someone
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the zombies would go for the onethat shows his abs all the time or the lil drunk munchkin... I wonder if walkers can get high from eating drunk morons.....
ReplyDeleteMine would be Boston Legal and Harry's Law... well Boston Legal and any show that needs a snarky lawyer! I miss Alan Shore....
ReplyDeleteFringe/X-Files
ReplyDeleteBurn Notice/White Collar. With Peter and Neil needing help from Michael. That would be awsome!!
ReplyDeletewell... a Crossover between all my favorite shows would be awesome :P
ReplyDeleteA new weird Fringe case would need the help of Bones' team and NCIS' team; there would also be Lost stuff, like the case happens on the island and Jack Bauer would have 24 hours to help those people to get out of the island... That would be quite strange but... why not ? LOL
Grey's Anatomy/House Weeds/Desperate Housewives
ReplyDeleteHouse and Body of Proof, only because I think that the chemistry between Hugh Laurie and Dana Delany would be pretty EPIC. And plus they're both doctors with attitude, what more could I want?!
ReplyDeleteFringe and Alias because, having Sydney Bristow and Olivia Dunham kick some asses together would be too awesome!!
ReplyDeleteFringe and DW would be perfectly possible, since they both deal with alternate universes.
ReplyDeleteI had read that there was plans to be a Burn Notice/ Royal Pains crossover last year, but I like your idea more!
ReplyDeleteCriminal Minds and CSI Miami, or Castle and The Closer
ReplyDeleteSounds like a winner. I love that idea.
ReplyDelete24 and NCIS Gibbs + Bauer=AWESOMENESS
ReplyDeleteBuffy with Fringe Sunnydale is the new universe! :)
ReplyDeletesupernatural and vampire diaries and criminal minds (but this could work with any vampire show or movie)
ReplyDeletesam and dean enter town and waster every annoying vampire and werewolf in it
then the BAU is brought in to catch the serial killing duo and make an awesome profile of sam and dean
then sam and dean skip town coz they're awesome that way and coz they've killed all the vampires and werewolves
Psych and Community would totally work.
ReplyDeleteAs stated before, a Fringe and Supernatural crossover would be cool (not to mention they could have a AltDean and AltSam!!!).
ReplyDeleteAs for the crime procedural shows, I would find it very entertaining to see how Castle would act with Patrick Jane from the Mentalist (and how Lisbon and Beckett could relate!).
Finally, I would love to see the play between Olivia Dunham (and maybe even Peter) and Jack Bauer... considering they are two of the strongest characters (one male and one female).
NCIS and Criminal Minds! Abby and Garcia would rock together even more than they do on their own!!!
ReplyDeletepsych - chuck
ReplyDeletewhite collar - prison break - breakout kings
primeval - stargate sg1
sanctuary - being human
misfits - heroes
the walking dead - dead set
ReplyDeleteOh that would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteMiss Parker and Ziva i the same time at my tv? I could die. My two favorite women on TV ever!!!
ReplyDeleteMiss Parker and Ziva i the same time at my tv? I could die. My two favorite women on TV ever!!!
ReplyDeleteHouse/Glee I'd love to see House interact with the cast of Glee.
ReplyDeleteCSI and NCIS. Put Marg Helgenberger together with Mark Harmon & you've got major hubba-hubba!
ReplyDeleteBuffy/Firefly: The life of future slayers trying to fly under the Alliance radar.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural and Criminal Minds would be awesome - Sam and Dean could be working a job when the BAU gets notified of killings. They could catch Sam and Dean and somehow become partners with them on the hunt. Psych and Comminity would be super cool as well, since both shows are so tuned in with pop culture
ReplyDeleteFringe and Castle would be amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteUmmm... Lost and The Walking Dead anyone?!? ZOMBIE SEASON!
ReplyDeleteI think House and SVU would be great, some murder case involving Cuddy and House - I think he'd make Elliot crazy.
ReplyDeleteBut I'd also like the idea of Bones and House, Bones and SVU and why not a 3-show-crossover: Grey's- Private Pracitce and SVU -> Addison and Derek involved in some sex crime
Lost and Castle. Kate meets Castle, and struggles to "remember."
ReplyDeleteI agree, that would be the most "possible" crossover of the three. Olivia facing off with the Dalek....could you imagine? :P
ReplyDeletePersonally we would need to look at crossovers logically They would have to be in the same geographical area so a show based in SF would not interact with a show based in Boston. However a Show based in NY could interact with other shows in NY. So the crossovers which could happen is Covert Affairs/ The Event/ Bones since they are both based in DC, Dexter/ CSI Miami, Castle/ SVU, CSI NY/Blue Bloods, White Collar/Royal Pains, In Los Angeles Chuck/ Law in Order LA, In Las Vegas CSI/ Defenders
ReplyDeleteso true!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell like on Bones they could travel to another part of the country. Hell the FBI can be anywhere in the country. A lot of shows could travel and it could always just be one character on vacation in that city happens to appear at a crime scene or be called in for a consult somehow getting them involved. So Fairly Legal could technically interact with Leverage. The thing that would need to be considered is what network it's one or if rival networks will allow the crossover.
ReplyDeleteNCIS and Castle. My two favorite shows.
ReplyDeleteEPIC!!! You win. Everything.
ReplyDeleteGood point. And The Chicago Code and The Good Wife in Chicago. Caleb and Jarek arrest a guy and then Alicia and Will defend him.
ReplyDeleteBones and Glee would be amazing!!!! I wanna see Booth burst out in song out of the blue!!!!
ReplyDeleteCASTLE AND BONES FTW!!!! THIS WOULD BE SO TOTALLY AMAZING...SO AMAZING THAT I USED ALL CAPS...
ReplyDeleteAnother excuse for us to see House sing!!!
ReplyDeleteHehehe...I wonder if Beckett reads McGee's books...? :P
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteWho knows. It sounds like her kind of book.:D
ReplyDeleteDexter \ Criminal Minds Would Be Awesome
ReplyDeleteProfiler \ Criminal Minds Just Because
Supernatural and Gossip Girl - I'd love to see the Winchesters try to pry information from some Upper East Siders.. and the plot could get so twisty with all the secrets they have on each other!
ReplyDelete
