I am curious how you guys feel about crossovers. Like them or dislike them.
I am OK as long as it adds to the storyline, makes sense, and is not done too often. I remember the crossovers between The Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman with the Fembots and Bigfoot.
What do you think about crossovers?
I loved the Superman animated series where Superman had to impersonate Batman. That was awesome. Might have been cool if they did something like that with Supergirl.

Some are done well, It depends upon the writers and how well they can use each style.
CBS did one with Magnum, P. I. and Simon and Simon that made sense and had the characters acting like they normally did. Years later I saw the Magnum, P. I, syndicated version with a different ending to eliminate the need for the other episode for a resolution
The early Arrow 'verse were well done, but the last few have gotten to be just to have one.

In general I prefer superhero show with a max 2 heroes/heroines out there in the field.
All Arrowverse shows expand these teams over the seasons until you have some more folks in the field and some tech guys/girls in the background....and I'm not the biggest fan of it.
But I do like crossovers as they only include 2-5 episodes in the Arrowverse. Some were better than others but it's always cool to see characters from different shows that you watch come together to battle a common enemy.
Besides the Arrowverse crossovers....I can't really think of many crossovers that I have seen. Will have to investigate....
A guest appearance from Xena in the Simpsons show isn't exactly a crossover I guess.
But the Xena and Hercules show had quite a lot of episodes with actors from the other shows.

I guess I am referring to the same franchise. I am not aware that it could be done with different ones or how that would work. Yes I loved the Pretender/Profiler crossovers well.

Thanks for the responses. As for them being in the same franchise, I was not aware it could be done in different franchises. I also liked the Pretender/Profiler crossovers.
I would consider Visitors: Simon and Simon/Magnum or NCIS LA and Hawaii 5-) different franchises as opposed to the Arroverse or BionicverseBronson881 wrote: ↑3 years agoThanks for the responses.

I remember a Magnum and Murder She Wrote cross over.

What I love are villain cross overs. Like Batman fighting the Flash's rogues gallery or Superman fighting Batman's bad guys. I remember one Justice League where Capt Boomerang and Batman were squaring off with baterangs and boomerangs. Wonder Woman fighting Kalibak. Flash messing up Live Wire. Batman stopping weather Wizard. Supergirl and Batgirl vs Harley, Poison Ivy and Live Wire.

Actor Richard Belzer originated the role of police detective John Munch on Homicide: Life on the Streets. Belzer went on to portray Detective Munch on various other series across various networks including appearing on Law& Order, the X-Files, The Beat, Law& Order: Trial by Jury, Arrested Development, The Wire, (I watched those shows but to not remember those appearances) 30 Rock, (but that was more of a cameo then a crossover in my view) and Law& Order SVU.Bronson881 wrote: ↑3 years agoThanks for the responses.

SyFy network did a really poor Warehouse 13/Eureka pair that could have been generic guest stars. There were the remake version MacGyver/Hawaii 5-0 that were decent. USA network show producers wanted, but never did a Burn Notice/Covert Affairs/White Collar crossover when they were all on the air.
There was the classic appearance of Green Hornet and Kato on Batman in the 1960s since they were the same production studio.

Sometimes the "crossovers" are actually a back-door pilot for one of the shows. I believe that was the case for Batman and Green Hornet.
I remember Dan Tanna from Vegas showing up on an episode of Charlie's Angels.
There might have been a Charlie's Angels crossover with The Love Boat, too. There was definitely an episode set on a cruise ship, with Frank Gorshin as the baddie, but I think there was an episode where they were on the actual Love Boat as well.

Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis did some crossovers as well, some of which were lots of fun. Atlantis was a spinoff of SG-1, and I think Rodney from Atlantis started out as a guest character on SG-1. There was also an episode where Teal'k and Ronan Dex team up to kill a lot of bad guys.
