hey #fediverse, what is your favorite group of movies or shows that are in the same universe?

      This is a great example! Two totally separate shows about weird stuff and then they just do a cross over at a certain point and now they’re linked.

    Family guy and the Simpsons. It was established canon in my head that the Simpsons were yellow,because that was just the art style. They’re not actually yellow. Than the crossover happened and now I’m confused.

      I do remember Homer saying at once point “Kiss my hairy yellow butt.” So, they do know they’re yellow.

    Fionna and Cake + Cheers. “Everyone on Cheers is like 3 inches tall” was such a direct jab at the little-man attitude a celebrity can (and that cast fully did) develop. Hey Arnold looks like it MAY also take place in that universe I just can’t prove it yet.

      Don’t forget the inclusion of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack when Prismo is skipping through universe “channels!”

      There’s also a blue jay that looks suspiciously and sounds suspiciously like Mordecai from Regular Show in the Adventure Time episode “Ketchup.”

      Gravity Falls had a crossover reference with Rick & Morty. (GF would be the only non-Cartoon Network show in this theory)

      Over The Garden Wall is canonically in the Clarence universe.

      Samurai Jack has an episode that takes place in post apocalyptic Townsville from Powerpuff Girls.

      We are getting closer to the grand unified theory of Cartoon Network.

          I do know it’s huge. It was me mostly making a joke about many of the comments on the fediverse being doom and gloom, while Star Trek is about hope and bringing all walks of life together for the better good.

    Ok, so, this is my favorite, not because I love the shows, although I do like some of them, but because it’s fun to chain links and how long you can make it.

    We start with the “Munchiverse”, most people know Detective John Munch from his long career in Law & Order SVU, and obviously all of the Law and order are in the same universe, but also they’ve had crossovers with Chicago Fire which is in the same universe as Chicago PD and others. They’ve also had crossovers with FBI and New York Undercover. But I said this is the Munchiverse, and I only mentioned Munch once, this is where it gets interesting, X-Files has an episode where detective John Munch shows up, he also shows up in Arrested Development and The Beat. And going one extra link X-Files is canonically set in the same universe as Twin peaks. Going back to Munch, he’s originally from another TV show called Homicide: Life on the street, and in that TV show they investigate a doctor from the TV show St. Elsewhere, in that TV show someone mentions working with a Dr from M.A.S.H. I’m sure more links could be made.
