Have there ever been cross network crossovers that aren't caused by the same production company?
For example, Detective John Munch played by Richard Belzer started out on Homicide: Life on the Streets. He's gone on to crossover (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Munch#Appearances_and_crossovers) to 9 other shows on 5 different networks, with varying production companies.
Flash and Supergirl had a crossover (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worlds_Finest) before Supergirl got moved to CW. Similarly Constantine got cancelled on NBC, and short time later his character (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Constantine_(Arrowverse)) got introduced in Arrow on CW, and has now become a main character in Legends of Tomorrow.
Danny Pudi appeared in an episode of Cougar Town in character as Abed from Community, after telling a story on Community about being an extra on Cougar Town. Both had completely different production teams, networks, etc.
And then there's the Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Westphall#The_Tommy_Westphall_Universe_Hypothesis).
