Line 268:
** There was also an episode featuring ''[[The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.]]'', April Dancer.
* ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'' and ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]''. You know ''Xena'' has [[Jumped the Shark]] when {{spoiler|the [[Big Bad]] is defeated ''in the other show''}}.
* Commercial example involving ''[[Monk]]''{{'}}s Adrian Monk and ''[[The Dead Zone]]''{{'}}s Johnny Smith. Three versions of the promos have them avoiding touching other people/things ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-lgJCtcAIA at a detectives association meeting]) and exhibiting their [[Blessed with Suck]]/[[Cursed with Awesome]] (Monk's OCD on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f50yHDekFfg corn counting] and Smith's psychic ability with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac5x9NSkW0Y a punch bowl]). The [[USA Network]] aired both of their shows at the same time.
* [[Word of God]] says that if ''[[Psych]]'' hadn't made ''[[Leverage]]'' a fictional show within ''Psych''{{'}}s universe, ''Leverage''{{'}}s Eliot would have had an uncle named Henry.
* [[The WB]] once had a night dedicated to crossing over their shows. A character from one show would pop up in another, mostly for laughs and night contribute much to episode's plot. It was parodied in that night's episode of ''[[Unhappily Ever After]]'', wherein [[Sister, Sister|Jackee Harry]]
* ''[[Breakout Kings]]'' : In the third episode of the first season, ''[[Prison Break]]'''s T-Bag....breaks out from a prison. An unprecedented case of a character crossing over to a show on a completely different network but not so surprising considering both show have the same producers (and an obvious common theme).
* Kate Monday (or was it Pat Tuesday?) and George Frankly from ''[[Square One TV]]'''s Mathnet appeared on ''[[Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?]]''.
Line 290:
* [[The Green Hornet]] and Kato appeared on three two-part ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' episodes, the intent being to suppirt the Hornet's show, which sadly, didn't do the job.
== Oral Tradition, Folklore, Myths and Legends ==
* [[Older Than Feudalism]] example: the classical tale of Jason and the Argonauts brought together many mythological heroes in a sort of Justice League Ancient Greece. "Hero" in [[Classical Mythology]] was an awfully vague term (as [[Cartoon History of the Universe|Larry Gonick]] put it, heroes aren't necessarily ''heroic'', just excessive), and since the mission was to ''steal'' an item (the Golden Fleece) "Justice League" isn't a terribly good name for them
* Maid Marian, the [[Arcadia|shepherdess]], featured in many pastoral plays popular at May festivities. Then there was a fad for [[Robin Hood]] plays. Then someone put the two characters together. It worked so well that Maid Marian is best known as a [[Robin Hood]] character, even though her independent existence predates him.
* Lancelot du Lac was the hero of a cycle of French stories before some canny balladeer decided to send him to Camelot to join up with [[King Arthur]]. The rest is... well, not quite ''history'', but you get the idea.
== Radio ==
Line 301 ⟶ 300:
* Two episodes of ''[[The Goon Show]]'' featured guest appearances by Jack Train as Colonel Chinstrap from ''ITMA'', a popular comedy show from the previous decade.
* Batman and Robin made frequent appearances on ''[[The Adventures of Superman (radio)|The Adventures of Superman]]''.
== Tabletop Games ==
Line 314 ⟶ 312:
* A [[Older Than Radio|19th-century example]] is the 1829 theatrical play ''Don Juan und Faust'' by Christian Dietrich Grabbe, a German dramatist. It is a crossover of the myth of [[Faust]] and of the tale of [[Don Juan]].
* Stephen Soundheim's ''[[Into the Woods]]'' features [[Cinderella (novel)|Cinderella]], [[Rapunzel]] and [[Jack and the Beanstalk]], with cameos by [[Sleeping Beauty]] and [[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (novel)|Snow White]].
== Video Games ==
