Canon Collision

[tzikeh]

As figured out by mamadeb, jacquez, elynross, and me, and with the incredible resource of Thom Holbrook's Crossovers:

XFiles is canonically in the same universe as Law and Order, Law and Order:SVU, and Homicide, via Munch.

Homicide is canonically in the same universe as St. Elsewhere, via Dr. Turner.

St. Elsewhere is canonically in the same universe as the following: Bob Newhart (via Bob's patient Mr. Carlin), Scrubs (via Drs. Craig, Ehrlich, and Axelrod), Oz (via Wiegert Medical Corporation), M*A*S*H (via B.J. Hunnicut), Cheers (Doctors stop in after work), and the list goes on.

Cheers, of course, is in the same universe as Frasier. I'm noticing a lot of pscyhiatrists and psychologists wandering about...

Honestly? I couldn't begin to write up how all these shows are interconnected - go visit Thom's page and spend an afternoon. All I can tell you is, the next time someone drops Krycek into Oz, or has Mulder dating The Janitor? They're at least *starting* from solid canon. What they do next, well... that's out of your hands.

But remember this - St. Elsewhere? Was all the dream of an autistic child. So, none of our tv shows actually exist.

Interesting factoid -- "I Love Lucy" is in the same universe as "It's Garry Shandling's Show."
