Name all TV series which take place in the "Law & Order" universe.
It's not as easy as you think ...

Include crossovers?

Transvestite TV Shows???

Law & Order Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Law & Order: Criminal Intent Homicide: Life on The Street The X-Files
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Add to that The Lone Gunmen, of course...
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
And "Millenium".
Does "The Simpsons" count? Mulder and Scully were it an ep.
Posted by Jeff The Card (Member # 411) on :
This is more than I thought. How did X-Files X-Over? Yes, crossovers count.
I bet no-one knows that Chicago Hope and Picket Fences is ALSO in this list! How, you ask?
In an episode of "Homicide: Life on the Street", a young boy is shot and dies of his wounds. His heart is taken to a transplant patient at ... Chicago Hope. Mandy Patenkin made a cameo appearance.
And Fyvish Finkel as Douglas Wambaugh made an appearance in one or two Chicago Hope episodes.
Now, what'll get scarier is that, being David Kelley productions, it's quite possible we'll see a Picket Fence or Chicago Hope character on The Practice, Ally McBeal, or Boston Public (all of which have X-overed with each other on repeat occasions).

If so, Ally could become canon to Millenium. This is WRONG!
Posted by Jeff The Card (Member # 411) on :
Ironically, he appeared in THE definitive Gunmen ep, so you don't even have to go through their X-Files appearances to find the link to their show.
That site's pretty cool, actually. Has a list of EVERY crossover in... ever.
In fact, this site shows me that if you accept St. Elsewhere (never really happened), the L&O universe connects with truely MASSIVE numbers of other TV shows...
*reads*
Oh. My.
Home. Frikin'. Improvement.
This requires further research. I'll post later with a detailed diagram.

OK, apparently, this is the largest TV universe ever created. It's total contents:
AFTERMASH The Beat Becker The Bob Newhart Show Buddies Can't Hurry Love Caroline In The City Cheers Chicago Hope Coach COPS Cosby The Dick Van Dyke Show The Drew Carey Show Early Edition Ellen Everybody Loves Raymond The Famous Teddy Z Frasier Friends The Geena Davis Show Grace Under Fire High Society Home Improvement Homicide: Life On The Street Hope And Gloria I Dream Of Jeannie Ink The John Larroquette Show The King Of Queens Law And Order Law And Order: Special Victims Unit The Lone Gunmen Love And War Mad About You Martial Law M*A*S*H Millennium Murphy Brown N.Y.P.D. Blue The Nanny Newhart Nick And Hillary Picket Fences Public Morals St. Elsewhere Seinfeld The Single Guy Sons Of Thunder Soul Man Tattingers These Friends Of Mine The Tortellis Trapper John, M.D. Walker, Texas Ranger The White Shadow Wings The X-Files
So what do I win?
Posted by Jeff The Card (Member # 411) on :
Um. Dear god. That's a lot of shows.
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
You didn't answer my question.
You know, it occurs to me that Cheers, Becker, and Ink are all in the same universe...
Posted by Jeff The Card (Member # 411) on :
You win ... a naked picture of Liz!!!!
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
I've never seen a photograph that wore clothes...
Posted by Jeff The Card (Member # 411) on :
You're so technical.
A picture of Liz, naked.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Liz who? If it's Liz, Queen of England, I would rather not see a picture of her naked. Same thing for Liz Taylor unless it was from her early work.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
That's a lot of shows, indeed. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if at least one of those shows referred to at least one other in terms of its being a TV show, which brings the whole thing crashing down on itself.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Hm... This guy has a loose definition of "crossover". Apparently, in an episode of "Team Knight Rider", they had a scientist named "Jackson Roykirk" (and a character nicknamed "Trek"), and the guy who made the Web site has decided that that's enough to qualify them for the same universe...
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
WAIT!!!!!! You are forgeting one!! Don't any of you renenber the crossover between Law and Order and Boston Public??? Do I get the nude pick of Liz???
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
True, but apparently it was done on purpose by the Team Knightrider people. Of course, in real terms, it's easily possible that there are simply two Jackson Roykirks, in completely unrelated universes...
Posted by Jeff The Card (Member # 411) on :
What crossover between Law & Order and Boston Public? I don't remember one, and I watched Boston Public rather religiously (although I did miss a few episodes, so it's possible).
I think, MIB, you're thinking of the Boston Public/Practice crossover. Which, by the way, means that The Practice, Boston Public, and Ally McBeal are canon to each other. However, those three shows haven't yet x-overed to any others (that I'm aware of, at least).
And, no, MIB, even if you're right, you don't get the pic of Liz, because even if you're right about L&O and Boston Public, you only get three shows added to the list: BP, Practice, Ally McBeal, which rather dims in comparison to the list Omega has posted.

Oh darn. Can I have the nude pic anyways? Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Erm... I feel, for fairness' sake, I should point out that Omega didn't come up w/ that list himself. It's posted on the main page of that Web site...
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
So I did some research. If the criterion was that you had to do it all from memory, then Jeff set up an impossible contest. Posted by Mucus (Member # 24) on :
TSN: You mean an unresolvable paradox like This which would bring the whole thing crashing down? Ah.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Well, sort of. I'd have to see the episode of "The Drew Carey Show" in question (the roof one; I've seen the Tim-Allen-in-the-tree one). Can we assume that, in the "Drew Carey" universe "Home Improvement" is still a TV show, and the producers made a line of fix-it videos in which Allen plays his Tim Taylor character? If so, we can remove "Home Improvement" from that universe, and everything is good again.
But, yes, that was the sort of paradox I meant. :-)
And, Omega, I wasn't saying you had to do it from memory. I just meant that you didn't look through all the pages of that site and develop that list yourself. You just copied-and-pasted it. :-)
Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
Actually I remember a hullaballoo on a web entertainment site not that long ago because in "Ally McBeal", I think, someone made reference to watching "Boston Public" on TV, and yet they're meant to be in the same universe. So that breaks the continuity loop, huh?
Besides, I'm more deserving of the picture than Omega.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Well, if Seinfeld is there, you'll have to include Mad About You, since Kramer appeared on there AS Kramer...
Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
I can't give Omega a naked picture of me... that'd be supplying porn to a minor, and I couldn't live with myself! I mean, what would his church think? What would MY church think???? Nope... just can't do it...... Posted by Jeff The Card (Member # 411) on :
Oh. Well.
Sorry, Omega. No nudie pics of Liz. I'll send you that one of George W. and Al Gore, though.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Liz should provide all the rest of us w/ nude pictures of her, just so we can taunt Omega about it. *L*
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Darn... and I so wanted a new Windows wallpaper...

It's times like this that I wished I believed in hell, so I could feel secure in the knowledge that I'd see Omega there eventually. :-)

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Well, gee, Tim, I'll try not to take that personally.
And I would point out that, seeing as I have not actually seen such a picture, the verse doesn't apply.
Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
As my girlfriend says, it's not the action that matters, it is the THOUGHT that counts.
Bad Omega, go to the corner... NOW!!!
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Omega: But you've seen clothed pictures of her. And I highly doubt that the clothing was enough to stop your imagination from running wild. :-)

Posted by Stingray (Member # 621) on :
If Kramer was on Mad About You, don't forget the Ursula/Phebe connection between Mad About You and Friends. In either an episode of Friends or an episode of Mad About You, there was a whole thing of the Buckmans mistaking Phebe for their waitress (Phebe). I can't believe I still remember those names.... So that's Seinfeld/Mad About You/Friends.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
It's "Phoebe". And I'm pretty sure all three of those are already together on that big list.
Posted by Jubilicious (Member # 99) on :
Yes, Mad About You, Friends and Sienfield go on the list. You're forgetting the episode where on Friends, they blackout the city, and then the episodes of Mad About You and Sienfield are all blacked-out, as well. This was done on purpose a few years ago. ;-)
