When a crossover episode is not a crossover episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I watched an episode of Emergency. One of the stories in the episode was the firestation crew was watching Adam 12 and got distracted with an emergency call. Johnny Gage was obsessed with trying to find out the ending to the show they were watching.

I'm thinking that this really wasn't a crossover episode since characters from both show didn't engage with each other.

If I'm right then are there other examples of this?

One episode comes to mind from All in the Family where Lionel and George appeared in the episode but not on the set. The episode was called Mike Makes his move

Mike stivic is seen talking to lionel on the phone only. So you only see the Bunkers in their house in Queens and the Jeffersons in their house in Manhattan. So I would not consider that a crossover.

Were the characters on the same set?

The boat used on McHale’s Navy was a prop on the episode of Emergency titled Quicker Than the Eye.

The characters from Adam 12 were not physically on the Emergency episode. The Fire station crew were watching an episode of Adam 12. No images of Adam 12 were shown.
