Crossovers can sometimes be very, very strange and happen in convoluted manners. Specifically, dream sequences.

Teenagers: that’s all one needs connection-wise sometimes. The age between characters is often times the best source of bridging the gap between two series and tying everything together. Like with Sabrina The Teenage Witch and fellow TGIF show Boy Meets World.

Although Sabrina appears in “The Witches Of Pennbrook” it’s not the only time the series crossover. Later on, in a time travel-oriented episode, Salem the sarcastic black cat makes an appearance by transporting the boys back to WWII which led to a sort of “where’s Sabrina?” for future episodes.

Always expect the unexpected with crossovers; even if the shows share some connection. Following a terrible storm in the episode “The Night Of The Hurricane,” Stan from American Dad! stumbled outside and came across Cleveland Brown from The Cleaveland Show before being joined by Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Of course, the characters drew guns on one another.

What followed was a standoff between the three characters (two of whom are voiced by Seth McFarlane) before Stan shot Francine out of surprise. An unexpected crossover for sure but a welcome one, without a doubt.

When crossovers work, they really work, and sometimes, it’s just because of the creative team and connections. Archer, the series about a pretty terrible spy, and Bob’s Burgers, a series about a pretty terrible chef and dad, is written and voiced by some of the same people, which of course led to some crossovers.

So at the start of season four, Archer found himself without his memory and living the life of Bob. The show even threw in his wife and kids before Archer found himself in hot water and went out in search of answers.

It doesn’t happen often but there are moments when TV shows and movies unite and become one. During the CW “Crisis On Infinite Earths” event, there were crossovers and cameos from all over the DC universe. But none stood out like when Grant Gustin and Eliza Miller’s Flashes met.

Due to some kind of magic shenanigans, the DCEU and Arrowverse Flash briefly met, surprising each other. What followed was a fun-loving and nerdy admiration between actors and characters before they went their separate ways and returned to their own universes.

Comedy and horror, let alone sitcoms and horror, don’t always mix well. There’s always the chance that the comedy will go too far or vice versa. Yet, when The Goldbergs ran afoul of Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare On Elm Street, everything came together.

When things go awry with the family, Beverly finds herself trapped in a nightmare orchestrated by Robert Englund himself. Although brief, the crossover allows for some great lines, fantastic homages, and a nice tribute to a horror icon, even if it is in a sitcom.

2 Supernatual And Scooby-Doo

Sometimes, the crossovers audiences don’t expect are the ones that work the most. No fan imagined that the CW’s hit series Supernatural would crossover with the fun-loving animated series Scooby-Doo and yet, “Scoobynatural” ended up being one of the series’ best.

After Sam, Dean and Castiel are transported into the world of Scooby-Doo, the trio works alongside the mystery gang to catch a murderous ghost. Filled with fantastic references, great comedies, and a few scares, it’s a crossover that shouldn’t but does work in all the right places.

1 The Office And The Office

So often, audiences forget The Office, one of America’s best comedies and sitcoms, is a remake of one of Britain’s best comedies and sitcoms. The UK version of The Office started it all and as such, there came a time when the two crossed paths.

In season seven, Michael Scott of Dunder Mifflin bumped into David Brent of Wernham Hogg, the character who Scott is based on. The two proceeded to make fun of and shoot jokes off one another before moving on, leaving fans yearning for more.
