Fans discuss TV crossovers connecting shows like Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, and Wings, debating which connections they may have missed.
Did I miss any? Mad About You Friends Hope and Gloria Wings Frasier Dick Van Dyke Show Caroline in the City
Seinfeld did a crossover with MAY. MAY did crossovers with DVD and Friends. Friends has crossed with H and G and CITC. CITC crossed with Frasier who crossed with Wings.
Seinfeld (and I think Larry David) appeared on Love And War for CBS

Ready to kick yourself? Frasier & Cheers
^^^^^^ "Art is often hailed as the grandest expression of human spirit, but we know now ... that the grandest expression of human spirit is whatever it takes for a man or woman to rush back into a burning building to save more people."
I got Frasier. I forgot about Cheers! "Art Vandelay" wrote in message news:[email]...

Perhaps I was unclear; I was acknowledging your "Frasier" and linking it to "Cheers."
We can then link "Cheers" to "Jeopardy!"

And we can link all of them to Kevin Bacon :-) (shouldn't be hard as Wayne Knight was in JFK).

And all actors together at some point:

Try to link any actors with more than six links... it's hard (impossible?)

But that is not the kind of "links" they are doing.
They are talking about "crossover" shows. Where the characters in one show play the same character in another show. And incidents where the "universe" of one show exists in the other.
A simple example is Kramer and his apartment appearing in Mad About You.
Jerry also appeared in Mad About You but it is unclear whether he was "the TV Jerry" or "the real Jerry" appearing as himself - of couse George and Susan watched Mad About You on TV - NOW MY HEAD IS SPINNING!!!

Aren't TV Jerry and Real Jerry supposed to be the same? Same job, same name...
Another thing: How many comedians get their own shows, only to become the straight man?

No, they are different. If Paul had apprached jerry he could have asked, "How's kramer doing as a neighbour?" or he could have asked, "How long will your show be on the air?"
That would have defined "which" Jerry we were watching.
The really smart ones do. Jerry learned that from Jack Benny, George Burns, and so many of the greats... Jerry was smart enough to know he is a terrific stand-up comedian but he is not a "comic". He surrounded himself with an excellent cast and let them do their creative best. One example is Jerry Stiller, a really funny man in his day, who ad libbed a lot of his own crazy material in Seinfeld. Nobody can write like that . . ."You want a piece of me?" "Infestation!" . . . I bet he made those up.
Excellent point! I recall there was a bit of a stir when the last season was coming up and they were trying to get everyone to sign again. The network was offering Seinfeld 24 million and the others half.
This was a problem because Seinfeld would never take a higher salary than anyone else in the cast because he realized that they, not he, were responsible for the series' early successes, and he vowed that would never happen. (He never claimed he was much of an actor and knew he needed great people around him for the show to succeed.)
But I guess even $12 million was enough for George, Kramer and Elaine.

Except that's not what people get paid for. The reason Jerry was offered twice as much wasn't because his performances are twice as "good" as the others', but because the offerers thought it would take that much to get him and because they thought they could make their money back. Jerry must understand this, so his "vow" is really just an excuse. He just doesn't want to do the show any more--and why would he?
At this point, a mill is probably looking good to them (if they're interested at all).
