Tommy Westphall
I debated where to put this, paranoia perhaps, but not quite. Found on the net maybe... but there was more to it.
I am quoting most of this information from this site: Tommy Westphall - A Multiverse Explored I am just reducing it to a more readable level. If there is any doubt, consider the words not my own. Remember the TV show from waaaay back in the day called St. Elsewhere? Remember how it ended? Tommy Westphall was an autistic child on the TV series St Elsewhere who, it was revealed in the closing moments of the final episode of that series, had dreamt the entire run of the show. Okay you might ask, what does this have to do with anything? St Elsewhere has direct connections to twelve other television series - many of them direct crossovers of character to and from the series. Others make mention of specific parts of the St Elsewhere fictional universe, placing them within the same fictional sphere. Basically, anything that has any tie with St Elsewhere, be it a fictional place, character names, awards, newspapers, cigarette brands, companies place some shows within the same fictional universe... They all would be in the same "Multiverse" as St. Elsewhere. Remember when Phobee's (from Friends) sister Ursula was the dog walker for the couple on Mad About You? That places all of the characters from Friends in the same universe as all of the characters from Mad About You (and also in the same multiverse as St Elsewhere). That is basically what we are taking about here, except on a much... MUCH larger scale. It should also be added that If St Elsewhere exists only within Tommy Westphall's mind, then so does every other series set within the same fictional sphere. :orly: Alrighty you say, sounds plausible, but what exactly are we taking here? We are talking about this Douche here: TomFontana.com Tom Fontana was one of the lead writers for St. Elsewhere, he is also the producer for a TV show named Homicide (heard of it?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLOTS#Crossover_episodes St Elsewhere - which had a direct crossover with Homicide - had many connections to other TV shows. And cross-pollinating Homicide with Dick Wolf's Law & Order franchise bred even more connections. The scope you ask? 280 shows are connected to Homicide: Life on the Street and St. Elsewhere, for a grand total of 282 series. 280 TV shows that exist only inside the mind of an autistic child. Woah.. did I blow your mind? No? Okay... to continue. So you might be asking yourself: "Self, why do I care?" You should care, this is important! (not really) You wanna see it? I feel I should warn you, it's huge! (that is probably the only time I will ever get to use that line, so let me run with it.) http://home.vicnet.net.au/~kwgow/crossovers(full).jpg click here for all the shows click to show Title Years Aired Network 1 704 Hauser (1994) CBS 2 "Addams Family, The" (1964-1966) ABC 3 "Adventures of Superman, The" (1953-1955) CBS 4 AfterM*A*S*H (1983-1984) CBS 5 ALF (1986-1990) NBC 6 Alias (2001-2006) ABC 7 All in the Family (1971-1979) CBS 8 Ally (1999) FOX 9 Ally McBeal (1997-2002) FOX 10 "Andy Griffith Show, The" (1960-1968) CBS 11 Angel "(1999, 2004)" WB 12 "Anne Sothern Show, The" (1958-1961) CBS 13 Archie Bunker's Place (1979-1983) CBS 14 Arrested Development (2003-2006) FOX 15 "Art of Being Nick, The [pilot only]" (1986) NBC 16 Batman (1966-1968) ABC 17 Battlestar Galactica (2003) (ON AIR) (2003-????)

I almost forgot to add the key to the whole thing!
Here is an example of what is in the key: Quote:
Click for the Key click to show Crossover Grid Key (organized by quadrant) 1. In the center: St Elsewhere's Dr Turner was investigated for murder by Homicide's Pembleton and Bayliss. And St Elsewhere's entire run was just a dream inside autistic Timmy Westphall's head. This means every show listed below is a figment. And Newhart (and the shows that crossed over with it) are a figment twice over. (See: Bottom right quadrant) 2. Top left: St Elsewhere's Westphall, Craig and Auschlander visited Cheers' bar A. Cheers' Norm, Cliff, and Drs. Crane visited Wings' airport. i. Cheers spun-off The Tortellis with Carla. ii. And going back to Cheers it also spun-off Fraiser. (1) John Larroquette Show's John Hemingway called into Fraiser's show. (a) John Larroquette Show referenced Yoyodyne. Yoyodyne was also a client of Angel�s Wolfram & Hart. (i) Angel was a spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (for more on Buffy see item 4.A.) (ii) Weyland-Utani is also a client of Angel�s Wolfram & Hart. Weyland-Utani made some of the weapons used by Firefly�s Malcolm Reynolds in the Battle of Serenity. 1. A Firefly class ship, from and unique to the Firefly universe is visible in a scene in Battlestar Galactica (2003). (Although Battlestar Galactica is a reworking of an older series (Battlestar Galactica (1978)) it is a complete reboot and there is no shared internal continuity between the two shows and therefore Battlestar Galactica (1978) is not included on the grid.) (iii) In the Red Dwarf episode "Psirens", the crew of the Red Dwarf come across a space ship graveyard which includes a Weyland-Utani ship (connecting it with Angel, and a Eagle ship from the TV series Space: 1999. 1. A Klingon Bird of Prey from the Star Trek universe(see 2.A.ii.(1).(b)(i) for more Star Trek) is also in the grave yard 2. An Eagle ship from the TV series Space: 1999 is in the graveyard as well 3. The TARDIS from Doctor Who appears in the hangar bay of the Red Dwarf - it can be seen during the launch of Starbug in the episode "Thanks for the Memory" a. Doctor Who versions 1963, 1996, 2005 are all connected by a single canon, the TARDIS, and the sequential incarnations of the doctor between all versions i. K9 and Company was a pilot for a spin-off aired as a one-off episode broadcast as a Christmas Special in 1981 - featuring The Doctor's old companions K9 - the robot dog - and Sarah Jane Smith. ii. The Sarah Jane Adventures is a Doctor Who spin-off featuring Sarah Jane Smith. iii. Torchwood is a spin-off focusing on the covert Torchwood Institute and the crossover character Captain Jack Harkness iv. The Tenth Doctor mentions knowing Arthur Dent of Hitchhiker�s Guide to the Galaxy. v. TARDIS also appears in the series Chelmsford 123. (b) John Larroquette Show referenced Yoyodyne. Many years in the future the same Yoyodyne built starships for Starfleet in the 24th century, including the U.S.S. Brattain and the U.S.S. Phoenix on Star Trek: The Next Generation, which features the adventures of the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D. (i) The U.S.S. Enterprise-D had visits from some former crew members and guests of the first Starfleet ship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, including Leonard McCoy, Sarek, and Montgommery Scott. Additionally, U.S.S. Enterprise-D crewmembers Jean-Luc Picard and Data have met with Spock. The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was the setting of Star Trek. 1. Dr. Jackson Roykirk invented both the earthquake machine that had to be defeated by Team Knight Rider and the Nomad robot that had to be defeated by the Star Trek crew. a. Team Knight Rider was a spin-off of Knight Rider. i. The character of David Dalton first appeared on Knight Rider, then spun-off onto Code of Vengeance. 2. James T. Kirk, Montgommery Scott, and Pavel Chekov appeared in the movie Star Trek Generations. In the same movie, James T. Kirk traveled to the future and met Jean-Luc Picard. 3. Kor, Koloth, and Kang were three Klingon captains that had encounters with the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. Later, these three would unite on a mission with Jadzia Dax of Starbase Deep Space Nine to avenge the deaths of their children. Kor would further have adventures with Worf while he served on Starbase Deep Space Nine. Additionally, thanks to a time travel incident, several Starbase Deep Space Nine crewmembers would get to meet several U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 crewmembers. 4. Tuvok of the U.S.S. Voyager in his youth knew Hikaru Sulu and Janice Rand, both former crewmembers of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. 5. Jonathan Archer and T'Pol of Enterprise NX-01 once met future Vulcan dignitary T'Pau when she was young. She would later go on to preside over Spock's would-be wedding and then his fight to the death with James T. Kirk. Additionally, the Enterprise NX-01 crew encountered the Augments, an offshoot of the genetic engineering program that created Khan Noonien Singh, an Earth tyrant encountered by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 crew in an episode of Star Trek (ii) Ambassador Spock, while meeting with Jean-Luc Picard on an episode of The Next Generation, makes direct reference to the Khitomer Accord, which established an important Federation/Klingon armistice. 1. The Khitomer Accord is also referenced in several episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. (iii) Worf and Miles O'Brien were on the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D before being assigned to Starbase Deep Space Nine. Additionally, the U.S.S. Enterprise-D crewmembers have had dealings with Benjamin Sisko, Julian Bashir, and Quark, all who serve or live on the station. Starbase Deep Space Nine is the setting of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. 1. Starbase Deep Space Nine was the launching point of the U.S.S. Voyager's fateful mission that would unwillingly send the ship to the other side of the galaxy. Deep Space Nine's bartender Quark met with U.S.S. Voyager crewmembers Harry Kim and Tom Paris before the ship departed. Later, both the Deep Space Nine crew and the U.S.S. Voyager's Emergency Medical Holographic Program (a.k.a. the E.M.H. or just the Doctor) would encounter Dr. Lewis Zimmerman, the creator of the Emergency Medical Holographic Program. 2. Starbase Deep Space Nine's Julian Bashir encountered Section 31, a secret organization in the Federation dedicated to protecting the Federation by any means necessary. Over two centuries earlier, Enterprise NX-01's Malcolm Reed was a member of Section 31 when it was dedicated to protecting just Earth by any means necessary. (iv) William T. Riker, formerly of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D, once visited the U.S.S. Voyager due to the interference of the entity known as Q. Addtionally, other former U.S.S.

Rules/Exclusions - In almost every category of rules/exclusions there are things that we would love to include. However, we cannot cherry pick which one or two things in a certain category we would like to include, instead we would have to include all of a type if we allowed in some of a type. So for simplicity (hah!) and our remaining bits of sanity we do not include any show that is not a narrative live action program with a shared continuity from episode to episode. The particulars of the rules & exclusions are below (along with mentions of what we wish we could include, and often why the category is excluded): 1. Crossovers with "real" shows and "real" people. A. Episodes where reality shows exist within a fictional sphere are not included (such as the X-Files/COPS crossover and the Chicago Hope/Entertainment Tonight crossover) B. Episodes where actual people exist within a fictional sphere are not included (such as Jay Leno, Alex Trebek, and professional wrestlers and athletes who have played themselves on many shows some of which are listed here). C. These real/fictional crossovers are often great for a laugh and it is usually really interesting to see the real and fictional spheres meld briefly but there is no way to fully document all of these crossovers and there is no logical stopping point for the inclusion of a show on the grounds of a shared real space. 2. Cartoons & Puppets A. There are a few legitimate cartoon & puppet crossovers that we would like to include (namely the Simpsons crossovers with Cheers and X-Files and the Sesame Street crossover with L&O:SVU) but opening the door for the Simpsons & Sesame Street would forces us to include more than a score of 1960s cartoon. Not only are most of those cartoons bad but cartoon crossover history is to poorly documented for even our best searching to yield a complete list and the cartoon crossovers were rarely more than cameos B. The cartoons that are related by loose ties to shows on the grid include: The Simpsons, The Brady Kids, the entire 1960s DC cartoonverse (Superman, Justice League of America, Superboy, etc), the entire 1990s DC cartoonverse (Justice League, Batman Beyond, Gotham Knights, Static Shock, etc), The Addams Family cartoon, Scooby-Doo, and the rest of the Hanna-Barbera cartoonverse. 3. Movies with theatrical debuts A. TV miniseries, movies and reunion specials do count (assuming shared continuity with the TV show) as if they were any other episode of the show. Movies that appeared in theaters first do not count even if they have shared continuity with the TV series (X-Files: Fight the Future, Serenity). And they don't count twice over when they do not share internal continuity (The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), A Very Brady Sequel (1996), Superman & Batman movies, etc.) 4. Pilots & Spin offs. A. In order for a pilot or spin off to be included on the grid it must exist as a distinct aired entity. Back-door pilots that only appeared on the main show and were never there own distinct show do not count. 5. Anthology series A. Anthology television series (such as The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone) which assume no shared continuity between episodes are excluded because of their lack of internal continuity. 6. The Munch Rule A. A few different characters on the grid (John Munch, Mike Logan, Lucy Ricardo, and others) moved completely from one show to another and then crossed over to a third show for an episode or two. On the grid and the key the crossover is only listed between the show the character was on at the time of the cross and the show he/she crossed onto. For example, any new shows on which John Munch now appears are simply crossovers with L&O:SVU not L&O:SVU and Homicide. The final count: 280 shows are connected to Homicide: Life on the Street and St. Elsewhere, for a grand total of 282 series. The only non-US shows in the Tommyverse are: The Degrassi shows (Canada),The Office (UK), the Doctor Who shows (UK), and Paris Section Criminelle (France). Paris Section Criminelle is the only show not in English in the Tommyverse. The shows span from 1951 (I Love Lucy) to the present (26 shows are still on the air). |
Wow, I didn't realize Hollywood was this incestuous.

That's awesome that someone put all that together. Brilliant.

I don't know if Trapper John M.D. should be listed. TJMD was stated to be a spin-off of the film M*A*S*H not the TV show due to licensing reasons and since the St. Elsewhere link is a reference to BJ Hunnycut who didn't appear in the film.

My only question is, did all of the linking events happen in the shows that are reality? I'll pick on 6 and 7, since they are clear and many of the other references are ambiguous as to which show the crossover occurred in.
6. Top right: St Elsewhere's Warren Coolidge appeared on an episode of Method & Red --If we are willing to assume that no character named Warren Coolidge ever existed outside of the dream world, this clear indication that Method & Red is also a dream. 7. Top right: St Elsewhere's Mark Craig talked about M*A*S*H's BJ Hunnicut. --Assuming this happened in St. Elsewhere, this proves nothing about the reality of M*A*S*H...if I have a dream about someone, that doesn't mean they don't exist. I'm afraid that as a proof that all of these shows exist in a dream world, this might break quite a few of the logical links, however as a display of how interwoven TV is, it's still very interesting! |
Here's another problem with this logic.
According to the key (iii) In the Red Dwarf episode "Psirens", the crew of the Red Dwarf come across a space ship graveyard which includes a Weyland-Utani ship (connecting it with Angel, and a Eagle ship from the TV series Space: 1999. 1. A Klingon Bird of Prey from the Star Trek universe(see 2.A.ii.(1).(b)(i) for more Star Trek) is also in the grave yard 2. An Eagle ship from the TV series Space: 1999 is in the graveyard as well Stuff like this is kinda stretching things. Lets assume that Red Dwarf is infact part of the kids dream. Because the kids dream places recognizable ships in the background then these shows must be a part of the kids dream? OR the more obvious answer, the kid's brain filled space with things that he had seen on TV. |
