Cross Network Crossovers

[TMC]

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 to 9 other shows on 5 different networks, with varying production companies.

Flash and Supergirl had a crossover before Supergirl got moved to CW. Similarly Constantine got cancelled on NBC, and short time later his character 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.

Ally McBeal on FOX and The Practice on ABC had a crossover. The funny thing in Fort Wayne was they aired at the same time. This was before Indiana observed daylight savings time, the big three networks aired primetime from 7-10PM, but our FOX affiliate aired primetime from 8-10PM. So both shows aired simultaneously at 9PM. And this Tuesday on March 31, a character from Chicago P.D. will cross over to what is now the FBI season finale.

Buffy and Angel ended up on different networks (Buffy moved to UPN; Angel remained on The WB), but they still had some crossover episodes after the network change.
