Shows that "visted" other shows

[CrankyYankee]

Nowadays, the only one that comes mind right away is "Law & Order", with occasional visits by other cast members on "L&O" shows they don't usually occupy.

In the past, I recall folks from "Petticoat Junction" would visit on "Green Acres."  I also once saw Stu Bailey of "77 Sunset Strip" visit a soundstage while "Maverick" was being filmed with Roger Moore.  An outright plug was a visit/guest by Ty Hardin of "Sugarfoot" on "77 Sunset Strip."  Another time, a "Maverick" had cameos from members of "Cheyenne", "Lawman" and "77 Sunset Strip!"  Once in cartoon-land, I recall Yogi Bear being in someone else's toon, with Yogi stating, "I gotta go...I'm on the wrong show!"  What other "visits" do you recall?

You are by no doubt in my mind referring to Quick Draw McGraw which was also a product of the Hanna-Barbera studios.. I remember that scene from my childhood when Quick Draw runs into Yogi on a football field.


Also, I remember from a few years back when "Sabrina The Teenage Witch," "Teen Angel" and "Boy Meets World" interconnected each other as a 90 minute episode on a Friday evening on ABC.

There is an episode of the Donna Reed show where Dennis the Menace makes an appearance. Joe Kearns ( Mr. Wilson ) and Jay North ( Dennis ). Dennis was making a menace to himself to Donna and there is one scene where she calls Mr. Wilson.

I am pretty sure both shows more/less used the same set.

This might be pushing, but I remember when Davie Jones of the Monkees visited Marcia on the Brady Bunch-Monkees Show may have been history by then though.

Here's one...When "Adam 12" cast would team up with cast of "Emergency!"

Who was the comedian who popped up on Lucy, Sanford & Son, Flintstones & MANY other shows with snide remarks. He'd always turn around and say "YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS?"

I remember after "The Ropers" got their own show they went back & visited Jack, Janet & Cindy.

Didn't the real Carol Burnett go on Mama's Family once?

Alf filled in for Carson one night!

Baywatch & Baywatch Nights cast used to jump back & forth sometimes.

C.H.I.P.S had an all star rollerskate episode but all I can remember is Erve Velechez(Tattoo) on skates & Ponch & John pulling over H.R PuffnStuff on the freeway but that wasn't really "cast visiting cast"-it was "actor visiting show".

Joanie Loves Chachi always had to have old Happy Days cast visit to survive the short stint they did!

Xena Warrior Princess popped onto Hercules the Legendary Journeys & vise-versa a couple times.
The Bionic Woman & Six Million Dollar Man visited each other sometimes.
...more to come!

NBC did this a lot, they used to have "special" nights where cast members would visit. I remember they had the cast of Friends on ER which was odd because they are set in different cities.

The "TGIF" comedies on ABC would do a lot of intertwining too. You'd have Urkell visiting every other show on Friday night

Didn't the real Carol Burnett go on Mama's Family once?

Carol did a few episodes of Mama's Family when it aired on NBC. However once the show went syndicated Carol Burnett didn't want anything to do with it thanks to her then-recent divorce to Joe Hamilton.

Who was the comedian who popped up on Lucy, Sanford & Son, Flintstones & MANY other shows with snide remarks. He'd always turn around and say "YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS?"

That was the great Frank Nelson, who was also Jack Benny's nemesis on many episodes of the Jack Benny Program, as the irritating salesman, clerk, or bureaucrat.

Happens alot with "parent" shows and their spinoffs:

Those are always easy because both shows exist in the same "universe."

It's always a little more interesting when shows that aren't otherwise connected pair up.

For instance, "Ally McBeal" and "The Practice" did two episodes together -- the opener on FOX and the conclusion on ABC.   While both were David E. Kelley lawyer shows and both were set in Boston, they were otherwise entirely unrelated universes until those episodes.
