The most obvious one I can think of would be the Mad About You 'blackout' episode. I can't remember how many other shows that affected, but I think it was more than one.
Trivial Question : Can anyone remember the Friends link in Cybill?

Since a crossover is usually a member of one sitcom guest-starring in another, and a reference is just mentioning another sitcom, a better term for what you're talking about would be a theme night.
I've heard somewhere that 423/424 "TOW in Vegas" was part of a Las Vegas theme night, but I can't provide any details.
NBC's Blackout Thursday was on 3rd November 1994. It began with Jamie Buchman blacking out New York City in MAY 306 "Pandora's Box", continued with 107 "TOW the Blackout" in "Friends", and concluded with an episode of "Madman of the People". Meanwhile, the fourth 'Must-See-Thursday' sitcom, "Seinfeld", declined to join in the fun.
The most annoying theme night for me was three years later, beginning with 208 "Inna-Gadda-Sabrina" in "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" in which Salem the cat swallowed a time ball, plunged the world into the 1960s, and ran off with a gang of hippies. He was pursued by Sabrina through the 1940s, 1950s, and 1970s in the ABC Friday sitcoms which followed that night - "Boy Meets World", "You Wish", and "Teen Angel", none of which are shown on British network TV. Since Sabrina is so popular here, ITV or Nickelodeon should purchase the rights to just those three episodes, and show them as more STTW.
None that I've heard of.

IIRC it was in S2-22 'Pal Zoey'.
Zoey had just dumped Shaun for cheating on her, and she decided to change her image. She dumped her cynical persona, and adopted one of a stereotypical 50's high school girl, going gaga over Football players etc. During this time she put a poster of the Friends cast on her wall, causing Cybill great concern! :)

As Time Goes By. Sitcom about a youngster trying his best to cope with the problems of growing up. Cory and Topanga travel back to the 40s and learn some valuable lessons.

Furthermore, the pair are credited for the 'You Wish' episode 107 "Genie Without A Cause" on the correct date 7th November 1997, and then again together with Beth Broderick & Caroline Rhea (Sabrina's aunts), for the 'Teen Angel' episode 107 "One Dog Night" also on the 7th.

Also, in another "Seinfeld" episode, Jerry goes on the Tonight Show with George Wendt and Corbin Bernsen, as the actors who played characters in "Cheers" and "L.A. Law" and not as Norm and Arnie, so those universes definitely do not overlap, which would have to mean that in the "Seinfeld" universe, "Frasier" *must* be a TV show.

It *could* have happened, though. Since "Mad About You" and "Friends" are in the same world (i.e. the character "Ursula" has often appeared in both shows), and since Seinfeld may be in the "Mad About You" world (depending on how one resolves the paradox you mentioned with George watching "Mad About You", but Kramer subletting from Paul Buckman), it's possible that there could have been a Seinfeld/Friends crossover.
'Course, since Courtney Cox was in a Seinfeld episode, that would be another paradox. :-)

I think that he just means that because the characters are different, Courteney Cox Arquette could maybe play both parts a la Lisa Kudrow as both Ursula and Phoebe, and David Schwimmer as Russ and Ross. Elle MacPherson has been mentioned in Friends as herself but she gueststarred in it playing a fictional character. It might be kind of cool if they said: "Hey, you look so much like..." or whatever. I don't know. That's just what I think about it.
Right, I understand that and agree. But even in fiction there's a certain amount of consistency and logic. For example, Ursula and Phoebe are identical because they're twins, not because they're played by the same actor. And Ross and Russ were so strikingly familiar (even despite the use of face-altering prosthetics) that it was the focus of that plot thread. Every paradox in fiction can be explained away through some clever writing. Monica and Meryl could have turned out to be identical twins, etc.
The point is that absent such explanation, it's still a self-contradictory situation. And therefore, a paradox. Whether it could be explained away through some fictional device is largely irrelevant since there was never a Friends/Seinfeld crossover.
In any event, my comment that started all this was simply a humorous one-liner at the end of a message. It's not something I'll submit for publication as a serious piece, nor is it a knee-slapper I'll take on the road. Just a conversational remark, and I'm quite amused that Terrent has found it necessary to analyze and critique it so deeply. That guy must be great fun at parties... :-)

Since Jerry Seinfeld played a character very like himself, there's no conflict there.
Not really, maybe in the Seinfeld universe "Cheers" is an autobiographical show where George Wendt was cast as Norm because he looks just like him, or "Cheers" could be an entirely different show altogether that happens to have a different character named Norm played by George Wendt.
Well, both Niles Crane & Chandler Bing have appeared in "Caroline in the City", and both Cosmo Kramer & Chandler Bing have appeared in "Mad About you", so it's possible if you want it badly enough.

But Jerry the character was a comedian trying to become a big success, whose sitcom was cancelled right after the pilot. Paul and Kramer laughed at the idea of Jerry trying to make a go of his TV project. The real-life Jerry Seinfeld was a successful comedian with a wildly popular TV series. I had no doubt that when Paul got all excited about meeting Jerry on the street, it was this very successful "real" Jerry, not some schlub who used to live across the hall from him.
_Seinfeld_ also negated the _Mad About You_ connection in their "backwards" episode, where Jerry, Elaine, George, and George's then-girlfriend go to India for a wedding. The episode started at the "end" and then moved back--e.g., "earlier that day," "the day before." In the tag, it backtracked to the day Jerry moved in--and met his neighbor Kramer. This negates _M.A.Y._'s version of events, which had Paul B. living across the hall from Jerry before subletting the place to Kramer.
Jonathan Silverman played Carol's obstetrician in TOW the Birth, but DS played Ross on an episode of _The Single Guy_, with JS playing his usual character on that show. (JS and DS are good friends in real life.) Jessica Hecht, who plays Susan on _Friends_, was also a regular on _The Single Guy_, but her character was just conveniently out of town on that episode to avoid that whole look-alike issue.

I don't know what standard of "proof" you'd require to show that the writers either forgot or didn't care about their earlier connection to _Seinfeld_'s universe. To me, it was clearly one or the other, but I suspect you'd never consider it "proven."
By the way, did you ever see the _MAY_ episode in question (Paul seeing Jerry Seinfeld on the street)? I don't remember for sure what season it was in, but my sense is it was sometime after season five.
I've seen other posts where you summon what I consider a generous interpretation to smooth over what others--including me--consider an inconsistency. There was one in the "For the boys" thread, which I won't detail here for lack of spoiler space. But I agree with the author of the article who thought the writers had continuity problems there. (Let's not start an argument on that particular point, though, because I don't think either of us will convince the other).
I'm curious: were there any storylines or occurrences in _Friends_ --not limited to crossovers--that you considered out-and-out inconsistencies or continuity errors; any for which you did not develop an explanation? Not attacking you here, I'm genuinely interested.

Friends is actually packed full of continuity errors due to being edited out of several sets of takes, but most people fail to notice them. What in fact they most often notice are plot holes, and on the whole the show not too bad when you consider the running time now exceeds 60 hours.
But yes, there are inconsitencies, as you'd know if you read my reviews, and indeed my piece on 714 was subtitled "Ripping Out Candles" which was a reference to problems with the established back stories of Rachel to a ceryian extent, and Monica even more so. But of course what happened was some people found fault with the other four characters, totally missing the fact that their stories were set in earluer seasons.

Mmm hmmm. I have a feeling that if you'd seen it, you'd agree about "which Jerry" it was--but of course I can't *prove* that. ;)
Well, I'm glad we can agree that the inconsistencies exist. I'd only read a few of your reviews (having been away from the ng for years), and in the ones I'd read you seemed to excuse/explain whatever inconsistencies there might have been. I looked up your review for 7.14, and I couldn't agree more about pulling out b-day candles. This is one of my peeves with the show. But you seemed to be inclined to come up with explanations for these, too.
BTW, do you remember in TOW the Birth (May 11, 1995), Joey said he was 25, while Monica said she was 26? Then in later seasons, Joey was made to be the same age as Ross and Chandler. In season 4, for example, in TOW They're Going to Party (Dec 11, 1997), all three guys say they're 29. I always figured Monica and Rachel were the same age (they were the in same high-school graduation class). Phoebe, who has said her mother died when she was 14, mentioned in TOW Joey's Bag (5.13; Feb 4, 1999), that her mother had died 17 years before. In 3.05 (TOW Frank Jr, Oct. 17, 1996), Phoebe tells Frank Jr. her birthday is February 16. So, depending on how precise she was being, that would have made her turn 31 or 32 in 1999.
So, based on those clues, the characters should now be:
Monica: 32 Rachel: 32 Phoebe: 33 or 34 Joey: 31 or 33 (depending on whether you accept his TOW Birth age or TOW They're Going to Party) Chandler: 33 Ross: 33 at some point this year

If you read my review closely, you'll see that there were no conflicts for Ross, Joey, Phoebe & Chandler, since their birthdays were set in Seasons 4 or 5; as you can tell by the careful redressing of the sets, and the old hairstyles & costumes. For example, on Phoebe's birthday, Monica wears the same dress that she wore in 401 "TOW the Jellyfish".
Rachel's birthday was not set in the past, so she had become two years younger, but there was enough vagueness about her past for the writers to get away with what was a most entertaining episode. However, I did point out that Monica's birthday was unnecessarily set during Season 7, and her age was definitively set in 122 "TOW the Ick Factor", so there was an inconsistency here. I suspect CCA wanted the same deal as JA.

Not so vague that we're supposed to think she skipped two grades, Monica flunked two, or Monica flunked one/Rachel flunked one. And the friends-tv.org FAQ writers seems to believe that Rachel should have been 31 by the end of season 6, though they mention her 28-year-old cheerleader comment means she was turning 29 in May 1998--making her 31 this year (already shaving off a year, probably). Yes, I did read your commentary on this point, but I think it's sort of a bending-over-backwards to make the writers not mistaken or fudging.
I understand--I've had this discussion several times elsewhere, but never with respondents so eager to defend the writers so meticulously. Usually it was, "Yeah, but the show's funny and I don't care. What's your problem, anyway?" ;)
Suffice to say that some of what
Chandler says he's 29. All three chime in on their need to relax more now that they're "older," and after Ross's Kenny-G comment, Joey says, "We're 29, not women." I guess you could argue that Ross isn't 29. Monica, in the season-four finale, refers to him as her thirty-year-old son when the drunk mistakes her as his mother.

Ya, it's a case of been there, done it, done it, done it, done it, done it.
Chandler was approaching 29, and was emphasising his age. Joey was 29.
This is the difference between "all three guys say that they're 29" and Ross not saying that he is 29.
And she was quite correct when she did so, and the ages of all three guys were quite in agreement with their 30th birthdays as shown in episode 714.
Okay Mardi, but what it shows is how the references correlate with their ages on a month-by-month basis, and it is often the failure to take this factor into account that leads so many people astray.

Not usually, since they're cartoon characters. Sometimes when they get into flashbacks, things get a bit buggy. But that's not the best comparison since the live actors on _Friends_ *do* age, as do their characters. Once it's been established that the characters age, I'd prefer that they continue to do so, consistently, every year (like 34-year-old me!).

I guess that Ross was fairly young when he got his PhD. And... how old would this have made him when he married the first time? I thought he said they were together for seven years, but that can't be right.

I don't specifically remember the seven years reference, but that would have meant they must have married in college. And I agree--Ross would have had to get his Ph.D. pretty young (and probably in record speed!). :)

Duh yourself. Seinfeld was never popular in Britain, though the TV critics all loved the show & kept recommending it. But that's not unusual, for most American programmes fare badly over here, compared with the high standard of our own channels. But Friends is different, for a US sitcom it's huge.
If you go into a video store here, you will find row upon row of videos and DVDs of all sorts of TV shows for sale, many of them older material, so being out of first run is not a hindrance. Yet as you search those shelves, you'll find that two sitcoms are missing - Seinfeld & Friends.
Why?
Because nobody wants to watch Seinfeld for free, let alone pay money for it, while Friends is so popular it has its own racks of shelves.
Tennant
I shouldn't be surprised. Much of the humor in "Seinfeld" is rooted in American culture and in NYC/Jewish culture in particular. There are plenty of areas in the US that don't understand the show either.
It appeals to a lower common denominator.
Because Seinfeld hasn't been released on DVD or video? Or are you talking about bootleg video stores?
It all depends on who the show is trying to appeal to, really.
If *I* had an extremely successful show in *my* country, and it fared poorly overseas amongst the masses but was lauded by their critics, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
In article , Dave wrote:
Yeah, but the same applies to "Friends". For example, just recently I had to ask what "Pat, I would like to buy a vow" meant - it turned out to be a refernce to "Wheel of Fortune", its host Pat Sajak, and a vowel.
That's not how I see it, but it's best if we simply agree to differ. :)
No, legitimate stores. You can find lots of sitcoms & dramas on sale outside America, there's no prblem about stuff being released.

There has to be a reasonable level of demand before anything is released commercially - companies are funny that way! :)
For Seinfeld in the UK, that demand is far too low to be commercially viable, and I've never even heard bootleg copies being requested.
There are also shows which the networks didn't like, but prove hugely successful in reruns - Star Trek being the extreme example!

"The high standard of our own channels"? And they say British comedy writing is dead.

I blame the let's-put-it-at-2.15-or-11.30-it's-only-American schedulers myself - how big would "Friends" have been here if ITV had bought it?
I personally would think that any "Friends" fan with a VCR wouldn't really need to pay through the nose for videos of it (except to complete gaps, mind). But then I don't watch "Frasier" so what do I know?

It could be, since ITV or Nickelodeon would only have to deal with at most two companies (I don't know about "You Wish," but both "Boy Meets World" and "Teen Angel" came from Touchstone). On the other hand, they might only be able to put it on during the holidays when "This Morning" is off, like when ITV showed "Sabrina Goes To Rome." And would they show the episodes intact or try to pass them off as episodes of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch"? (I know CITV likes to shrink the credits but I think the entirely different casts, titles, companies etc might tip off even ITV viewers!)

Hm, yes, didn't Jamie and Fran stumble into Central Perk and confused Phoebe for Ursula? Didn't Chandler and Joey hang out at Riff's, Paul and Jamie's favourite bar? So, I'd say "The One With Two Parts" is really the biggest Crossover episode in the real sense of Crossovers.
But, yes, the Blackout theme is also the biggest "crossover", that involved most episodes, as far as I remember. It's really hard to tell, since they wouldn't show a theme night like that on German television. In fact, I've seen the blackout-episodes of Seinfeld, Mad about you and Friends seperately.

DETERIORATA
Go placidly amid the noise & waste and remember what comfort may come from owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet & passive persons unless you are in need of sleep. Rotate your tyres. Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself and heed well their advice even though they be turkeys; know what to kiss and when. Consider that two wrongs never make a right but that three do. Wherever possible, put people on hold. Be comforted that in the face of all aridity & disillusionment and despite the changing fortunes of time, there is always a big fortune in computer maintenance. Remember the Pueblo. Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate. Know yourself; if you need help, call the FBI. Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you. That lemon on your left, for instance. Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would barely get your feet wet. Fall not in love therefore; it will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of youth, birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan; and let not the sands of time get in your lunch. Hire people with hooks. For a good time, call 606-4311; ask for Ken. Take heart amid the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese; and reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee. You are a fluke of the universe; you have no right to be here, and whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back. Therefore make peace with your God whatever you conceive Him to be: Hairy Thunderer or Cosmic Muffin. With all its hopes, dreams, promises, & urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate. Give up.

Cos I noticed when I was watching Frasier videos that Fisher Stevens plays Dr Morey (the 'spookologist' who tries to find out if Daphne's psychic) in the episode The Wizard and Roz (series 8) He also played Roger in Friends, TOW The Boobies (series 1), so there isn't a link... tada!

I was trying to prove there wasn't a link, didn't think that he might be Roger Morey... although, having checked the IMDB, he's actually Dr Sheldon Morey, so there's no link. And yes, I know the point is to *make* links, not break them!

------> Charles in Charge (1984), 1st in cast <-----
Are you sure about this last one? The IMDb only shows his character in CiC as "Charles," without a last name listed. And from what I remember of the show, it was set in present time (1984-90)--and didn't Joanie Loves Chachi pick up where Happy Days left off, in the early 1960s?
Mardi
Yes, it would have been impossible for Chachi and Charles to be the same person, unless he'd been frozen in time for about 16 years. And Charles (iC) *never* had a last name (the IMDB is not always the last resort for these things, but there's various other sources that confirm he never had one).

Sort of like Tony Danza being named "Tony" in both _Taxi_ and _Who's the Boss?_ I remember in an interview Tony Danza mentioned that his character was originally meant to have a different name. Well, actually, I think the character was to be an Irish guy, so both first and last name were different, but when they decided to cast Danza, they initially were going to retain the character's original last name and only change the surname. But before production began, the character became "Tony Banta." Danza suspected it might be because he wasn't trusted to remember to answer to a different name. :)
I could imagine a _Friends_ plot built around Joey filming a pilot with Tony Danza--Joey playing a guy named "Joey," and TD playing his dad, "Tony." ;)

At this point (it's 00:55 on the DVD) take a look at what the three women are doing... Monica & Phoebe obligingly tip their heads right back, to show off their graceful & very female necks - while in the centre Rachel puts her chin down on her hands to hide her neck.
Now pop in your DVD of 311 "TOW Chandler Can't Remember Which Sister" and as Rachel looks up at the ceiling to listen to Phoebe confronting the noisy neighbour (it's at 01:25) take a look at her neck...
BTW, before that (at 00:07) if you look carefully you can see Rachel wiping a dirty hand on Monica's whitish sofa, another male trait. ;)

I don't have the DVD's, so I can't check. Interesting aside--I found an academic article on the 'net that quoted this scene and described Rachel as *demonstrating* to Joey that women don't have them. Weird.
Does she look as though she has a bump? Has she seemed to have one in other shots? This is bound to be a controversial theory. . . . :)
The "dirty girl" who dated Ross would disagree. ;)

You'll have to admit that the similarity is there:
Take Tony Danzas character from Taxi and add Jeff Conaways "Bobby Wheeler" character.
Then you'll have this semi-confused italian, who's strugling to survive as an actor.

Not *very* sure, since there is always a risk that an actor had played a different character with the same name. When it happens that the name was also the actor's first name, then I didn't accept the crossover. Even so, I almost included two characters named Susan played by Stockard Channing, until I noticed that her real first name is Susan.
That's right, but it gives his character's name in both "Happy Days" and "Joanie Loves Chachi" as 'Charles "Chachi" Arcola' so I *assumed* it was the same Charles - but if you are insistent, then I will delete it.
You may well be right about setting of JLC, but I have never seen CiC, so I wouldn't know. However, "Laverne & Shirley" is definitely spun-off from "Happy Days", and that was set near its present time (one episode celebrated a New Year in the 1970s). An inconsistency for you... ;)
Now, I have to particularly thank you Mardi, for your enquiry made me wonder what happened to "Mork & Mindy", for that was part of the same set as "Happy Days", yet did not appear in the SQL output.
Investigation reveals that the SQL routine ignored the show because the IMDb says that it's improvised, (to eliminate shows like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"). Then setting that straight caused a few more sitcoms to appear, such as "Rhoda", since the IMDb does not class them as a comedy! This is the problem with an imperfect source.

How could Friends possibly connect with shows this old?
Connected how?

In a bit - for now I'm curious as to why you don't seem to have been reading your own thread. Is it because you can't receive large posts?

Apparently not.
That must be it - I have Turnpike set to reject posts larger than 1000 lines.
I see headers for large articles on the 3rd, 4th & 8th July - I can request them individually though.

Now, what does it mean to say that all these sitcoms are in the same 'universe'? It's a handy term, but I believe it would be asking too much of the writers & producers of 38 different sitcoms to maintain consistency across all the links, so no complaints about differences between "Wings", "Perfect Strangers", and "Three's a Crowd", please.
Maybe we should think of the sitcoms as being like countries along a train journey from say France to China. As you cross each border, there is no sudden change in the landscape, and yet inevitably the world outside the window does become very different. Alternatively it's like looking up a chain of synonyms in a thesaurus until you come to a word of opposite meaning to your starting point.
Don't forget that there are several other 'universes' that may be constructed from crossovers between US sitcoms - do let me know if you are especially interested.

Which, incidentally is being rerun from the pilot episode, starting this Thursday on the PCC.
As is Caroline in the City, starting from last Friday (one day too soon for me, unfortunately).

Ah. Be sure to let me know if this happens with "Ellen".
So, what did you think of the map?

They're just starting to show S4, so it'll be a while yet, though I can't remember whether the PCC have ever shown Ellen S5.
I've been rewatching all my Ellen tapes, btw.
Very interesting.

Wrong - LT was *not* listed as Caroline Duffy - check the credits!
Curiously though, Matthew Perry *was* credited as Chandler Bing in his corresponding CitC guest appearance.
In article , Paul Hyett wrote:
Yeah I know, she wasn't credited at all. That doesn't mean she played another woman though. She's given in the IMDb as Caroline Duffy, and Matthew Perry guested on her show the same night, 2nd November 1995; together with Jonathan Silverman as Jonathan Eliot from "The Single Guy", in which David Schwimmer guested as Ross Geller that evening.
That just shows the CitC titles people were more diligent. It's not the only time "Friends" titles have been lacking - check Joey's sisters at the end of 311 "TOW Chandler Can't Remember Which Sister" where *three* of them were not credited! Does that mean Joey only had four sisters?

I never realised *that*! Why on earth not - it's not as if she was unknown.
She mentioned a gay brother, and Caroline Duffy's brother wasn't gay.
OK, so I'm clutching at straws here! :)
I still have that MP vidclip from CitC, but it's a little too long for casual posting.

Grin - you told *me* to check the credits... :)
Yep, it was a fault, an error, a goof, an inconsistency, maybe even a big plot hole, but not a continuity error. I guess the "Friends" scriptwriters weren't careful enough with a CitC character.
No worries, I remember it well. Chandler tries to use his sensitivity act on Annie Spadaro in a video store, but when she responds with her direct approach he takes affright, and runs off.

Because I assumed that's where I'd heard that she wasn't listed as Caroline Duffy, which begs the question - what made me reach that conclusion then?
BTW, anyone else think Lea Thompson is HOT?
Also, did you see her topless in the movie 'All The Right Moves'?
I think they ought to put that as an extra on a Friends DVD.

Dunno.
She's very cute.
Gosh, no.
Well, the extras could stand a great deal of enhancement.

Long time back, 1983 IIRC.
Tom Cruise was her co-star - the movie was crap though.

If so, I'll continue...

It's very large, and poor quality, but I could perhaps post it to my website sometime.
