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.

Re: Shows that "visited" other shows

Happens alot with "parent" shows and their spinoffs:

-Dallas and Knots Landing
-The Golden Girls and Empty Nest visited each other including a hurricane episode
-The Cosby Show and A Different World
-Dynasty and The Colbys
-Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley
-Happy Days and Mork and Mindy (Mork was introduced on Happy Days)
-Diff'rent Strokes and Facts of Life
-Diff'rent Strokes and Hello Larry

-All in the Family and The Jefferson's (I think)
-Shazam! (Captain Marvel) and Isis
-Alice and Flo
-Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place
-Buffy and Angel
-Frasier and Cheers
-Cheers and The Tortellis


And that's just off the top of my head ;D

 

[nightfly61]

Before, during or after spinoffs?
The 1st thing that comes to mind is Scooby Doo!!! Not only visits by other cartoons, but animated versions of stars:
Dyno Mutt 7 Blue Falcoln
Josie & the Pussycats
Batman & Robin
Sherlock Holmes & Watson
Sonny & Cher
Mama Cass Elliot
Harlem Globetrotters
Adams Family
Joker & Penguin (I THINK they were on by themselves)

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

 

[mleach]

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.

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.

Re: Shows that "visited" other shows

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.

 

[Newname]

In addition to the animated 'stone age' versions of celebs appearing on 'The Flintstones as themselves('Stoney' Curtis, Hoagy/'Stoney'Carmichael, Ann-'Margrock', Jimmy 'O'Neillstone' of Shinrock/dig, surf-movie star James 'Darrock' Darren, and Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York as Samantha and Darrin Stevens(not 'Stevenstone?'), there was also a cameo by Yogi, who impressed Boo-Boo by swiping Fred's (what else?) 'pic-a-nic basket', proving himself 'smarter than the av-er-age Flintstone'. The only other time Yogi and Fred appeared in the same cartoon was on 'Laff-a-Lympics' in the '70s.

There was also a throwaway line on 'The Jetsons', where one of Elroy's friends snuck a tiny TV (a Sony Watchman, perhaps, even though it was from the original series!) to watch 'the one millionth rerun of the Flintstones'...though this was simply an excuse to reuse a previously-aired clip.

 

[nightfly61]

Here's some definately not in the same t.v universe:
ALF has a dream sequence about Gilligan's Island years later with Bob Denver, Russel Johnson & Dawn Wells playing their own roles pay a visit.

Roseanne had a similar dream sequence in 1995 about Gilligan's Island with her as Ginger(!) & the rest of her family as the G.I cast ON THE ISLAND, then when closing credits are rolling it has the REAL Wells, Louise, Denver & Johnson sitting in the Roseanne living room set with roles changed to that of Roseanne cast. I guess it still counts even if it's a dream sequence!

more...
Andy visits Gomer on U.S.M.C

Gomer comes home & visits on Andy Griffith(or was it Mayberry R.F.D)

Seinfeld went on with Jay Leno

Kramer went on with Regis & Kathy Lee (with his coffee table book that folds out into a coffee table)

(not really another show) but years later Al Molinaro (Al) from Happy Days appears as his old character in Wheezer's "Buddy Holly" video. "Fellas, how was the fish?" "Not so good, Al" "Not so good Al...yep, yep, yep, yep..."

Don Ho had his own show in '76 & appeared on Sanford & Son's 2 part Hawaii episode.
"Hawaii Five-0 Theme" by the Ventures was also used but no Kam Fong as Chin Ho or Jack Lord either.

After "Daria" began she appeared back on Beavis & Butthead.

In 1996 Arnold & Mr. Drummond paid a visit (as their Different Strokes characters) to the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" show. "What chu talkin bout WILL!"

Uncle Joe Carson played by Edgar Buchanan was the same character on Petticoat Junction, Green Acres AND a couple episodes of the Beverly Hillbillies (do I get bonus points for 3?)

Pat Boone was on Beverly Hillbillies as himself once.

 

[Braves2005]

I remember an episode where Hazel visited Dennis The Menace, it has been so long since I have seen an episode of Dennis The Menace that I don't even know what it was about.

I do remember the Dennis The Menace episode where Spring Byington from December Bride played her role from that show and Mr. Wilson (Joseph Kearns) was trying to get her for some sort of dinner or something and Dennis and his friends were having a party and Mr. Wilson was trying to get her to come but it became a disaster.


Mary, Ted, Lou, Murray, and Georgette visited Rhoda for her wedding to Joe. Phyllis, who wasn't seen in this episode, forgot to get Rhoda for her own wedding. Mary also appeared in the very first episode of Rhoda.

I don't know if any of The Mary Tyler Moore Show cast ever visited Phyllis when she had her own show.

Rhoda and Phyllis visited Mary on the last episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Jack, Janet and Chrissy visited The Ropers after the Ropers moved from their apartment to throw a party for Stanley.

Granny visited Petticoat Junction in an episode from 1968 after Betty Jo and Steve had their baby and she thought the baby was a dog. This episode extended into an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies.

Arnold from Diff'rent Strokes visited Ricky on Silver Spoons in a 2 part episode from 1982.

All of The Golden Girls visited Empty Nest and Sophia became a regular of that show for its last two seasons from 1993 to 1995.

George and Louise visited Archie and Edith in a 1978 episode of All In The Family.

 

[firepoint525]

There was an episode of St. Elsewhere in which the doctors visited Cheers! I remember Dr. Craig and Carla getting into an argument! Not too surprising, really! : I also recall that when she found out that they were doctors at St. Eligius, she sneered "St. Elsewhere?!?!" That was one of the few times that the name of the show actually found its way into the show! The hospital was usually called by its correct name (St. Eligius) by "insiders," like doctors, nurses, other employees of the hospital, etc.

Must see TV! ;D

The Monkees (the TV show) had been cancelled by then, and the Monkees (the group) had broken up. Davey Jones basically appeared as a solo star on The Brady Bunch. This was also a part of the "charm" of this episode, with Marcia pining after a star who was past his prime. But the Beatles, the Fifth Dimension, the Carpenters, and the Supremes were all mentioned by another girl in that episode (sarcastically, of course!) as groups they could try to bring to their prom if Jones couldn't make it. Ironically enough, all of them except the Carpenters had broken up by the early '70s. The Supremes were still together, but Diana Ross had gone solo by then.

 

[Braves2005]

The Fifth Dimension were still having hits in 1971, in fact, they had a hit that year with "One Less Bell To Answer" and then in 1972 with "Last Night I Didn't Get No Sleep At All" so the group hadn't broken up yet (basically when Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. left the group for their solo and duo careers) when the Brady Bunch episode with Davy Jones first aired. Davy also had a solo album out at the time of the show's airing so there was promotion behind that too.

Speaking of The Brady Bunch, Desi Arnaz Jr. appeared in the episode where Marcia lost her diary with her being a fan of Desi Jr. and writing about him and Cindy had given the diary to a book store.

 

[Rick_E]

Jamie and Fran from Mad About You were on Friends....they stopped in Central Perk and saw Phoebe, but thought it was Ursula from their local eatery. (I forget the name).

ABC daytime soaps are famous for having their characters cross over from One Life to Live, to All My Childeren, to General Hospital...and even the cancelled Loving & Port Charles..
(I believe Llanview (One Life to Live) and Pine Valley (All My Children) are Philly suburban towns next each other)

 

[radiorob2.0]

A stretch, but Tony Soprano made an appearance as an "Average New Jersey" Resident on SNL's Weekend Update.

 

[firepoint525]

I seem to recall that the Brady Bunch episode in which Marcia met Davy Jones was from 1973, but I could be mistaken about that.  Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr., had started their post-5th Dimension career by 1975 ("I Hope We Get to Love in Time" was a minor hit for them.).  Of course, the Bradys themselves were gone by 1975.

And no one has mentioned it, but it seems like there have been many shows in which characters appeared on game shows, and participated in these game shows in character (not to be confused with actors appearing on these game shows as fundraisers for charities).  It is interesting to watch these characters interact with the game show host, who is of course not acting, but rather hosting the show (although it's possible that he may have been given a script or some lines to read).  Best example of this I can think of is when the Harpers (Mama's Family) appeared on Family Feud, and Naomi leaned over several of her own family members to get her kiss from Richard Dawson!  :-*  I suppose such shows were fairly easy to do, because the set (of the game show) already existed, and most of these game shows were syndicated, and thus not the "intellectual property" of any one network.

 

[Braves2005]

The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful have always crossed over with their characters with one character being on Y & R while another character was on B & B.

J.R. and Bobby Ewing from Dallas visited Knots Landing in the early days of that show and I think that Gary and Val returned to Dallas for a visit after Knots Landing became a series.
