TV's Weirdest Crossovers: Bones and Sleepy Hollow / Bones and Family Guy

[JamesG]

The news that the scientific-minded "Bones" would be crossing over with the supernatural drama "Sleepy Hollow" had us scratching our heads at the time.

And although the two-hour block was amusing, we still can’t get over the logic leaps that were needed to accept this reality-defying mashup, which required that the "Bones" characters have no inkling of Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Plus, there was the fact that Brennan, a woman of science, was conversing with a time-transplanted Revolutionary War soldier in Ichabod Crane!

Unlike the Bones/Sleepy Hollow crossover, this extremely unexpected pairing actually did make sense in the context of the episode, which found Booth having hallucinations of Stewie Griffin (voiced by Seth MacFarlane).

The taunting cartoon character even showed up during an interrogation scene to mock Booth and Brennan’s suspect and push Booth toward a vocal epiphany. Naturally, the outburst prompted concern from Brennan, after which it was revealed that Booth was suffering from a brain tumor.
