Just a totally random event that happened today that amused me.

I had a rare moment of calm today at work, and we began talking about our kids. My children have been obsessed with the Disney Channel's live-action programming, both the new stuff and the classic programming. While I'm not a fan I have figured out the basic plots of shows they watch.

I was then noting how Disney has decided to do numerous cross-over episodes, forming a ridiculous daisy chain of universe continuity. For example if A and B coexist, and B and C coexist, then A and C also coexist.

So, with that in mind, we started noting all the crossover episodes we can think of, forming the largest and silliest daisy chain of continuity. With the upcoming "Bunked-Raven's Home" crossover, the entire Disney live action lineup is interlinked, including canceled shows like Liv and Maddie, and Girl Meets World. However, Girl Meets World is a spinoff of Boy Meets World, which literally crossed over with the entire TGIF lineup on ABC in the 1990's thanks to a chain-letter gag. This includes Family Matter (Urkle), Full House, Step by Step, and Perfect Strangers, etc. Eventually we got a chain all the way back to Walker, Texas Ranger.

And people thought the MCU was the largest universe made, LOL.

I do know that St. Elsewhere exists in the same universe as Cheers, Chicago Hope, and Homicide: Life on the Street. The last of which also exists in the Law and Order Universe, which also has a ton of crossovers itself. Edit: apparently the character John Munch (detectives on both Law and Order SVU, and Homicide life on the street) also crossed over with the X-Files.

Disney started this sort of thing in the 60’s/70’s.

Nutty Professor, Computer Wore Tennis Shows, Strongest Man in the World etc all featured a single fictional college.

As a funny side-note, does anyone remember the show Picket Fences that was on CBS in the mid 1990's? They had a cross-over with the X-Files.....sort of. It was legitimately supposed to be a crossover, until Fox and CBS got into tissy fits and ordered the writers of both shows to rework the episodes to not be crossovers. However, the writers carefully crafted the dialog of both shows to reference each other. The episodes of these two series ended up airing in the same weekend.

Not the most complex, but certainly one of the weirdest was the Bones/Sleepy Hollow episode (s?) as by definition that meant Bones existed in a world with ghosts and demons in it.

Ohh ohh another one that is interesting.
In The Flash, Cisco references Marvel heros quite a bit.
Yet many of Marvel's heros had their writers start in DC, and I can't remember how but marvel owes it's existence to DC in someway.
What was DC publishing?
