Crossovers

The Television crossover. Some love it, some hate it. TV studios sometimes love to mesh shows at times, and have charcaters from one show appear on another. Most find it ridiculous and stupid, while others just love the idea of seeing charcaters from two of their favorite shows interacting and exchanging dialogue with each other. Most of the time, crossovers are done with shows that have had spin-offs like Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, while shows that are unrelated like Bones and Family Guy do the deed. I`m not against the crossover, but I`d like to have a good reason for why two unrelated shows are coming together, story wise. But the main reason for related and unrelated crossovers may be to peek interest in both shows, there are plenty of people out there who watch a show but not its spin-off or vise versa, and people who watch both. If you take a charcater from either show stick it in a crossover episode and bring viewers that normaly would watch said show, they maybe just get interested and start watching that show. Although its probably not that simple., but hopefully you can see what I`m getting at.

A crossover I`d really like to see is Bones and House. Two shows I really like with funny characters that could do well together, how they would do it? I have no idea.

Question of the Blog: Which TV shows would you like to see crossover?
