Upholding LAW & Keeping ORDER

Aug 06, 2007 19:59

The Law & Order franchise just keeps on ticking. The mothership will launch its 18th Season in January 2008. Special Victims Unit is entering its ninth season. And Criminal Intent will be back for season seven - airing on the USA Network before getting a run on NBC.

The Law & Order Cast Spreadsheet has been my little baby for a long time now - after ( Read more... )

All of international versions of The Office... bttf4444 August 15 2007, 00:38:43 UTC

Le Bureau (French Edition)

La Job (French Canadian Edition)

Stromberg (German Edition)

The Office (US Edition)

The Office (Original UK Edition)

Would all these variants be part of one shared universe, or are they just different adaptions of the relatively same plot for different cultures?

Re: All of international versions of The Office... crossoverman August 15 2007, 00:44:24 UTC

They possibly all share the same universe but there's no direct connections yet. While the British and US versions were supposed to crossover last year, it didn't happen. Both of these shows are connected to Tommy by different means anyway...

I'd love it if somehow they were all pulled in... :-)

A possible Doctor Who X-Over munchdet August 15 2007, 12:16:46 UTC

TAFKA johnmunch speaking. Something screwed with the login section, so johnmunch is kaput for all purposes. Pity. I liked it.

To the point:
There is a British police series, 'Z Cars' (1962-1978 with some 800 episodes!) that is supposed to have a character crossover with the Good Doctor in its earliest seasons (details unknown). This would bring in Z Cars spin-offs 'Barlow at Large' and 'Softly Softly'. Z Cars (derived from the Ford Zephyr cars) is generally acknowledged as the first 'realistic' UK police show.

This was supposed to happen, but the plan fell through those many years ago. I just read this recently online but I'll hanged if I can remember where. But I will do a bit of searching to find out more info.

I would have loved to see Charlie Barlow and his associate Det. Watt join the Tommyverse!

I also read it somewhere, but can't remember where. It definitely didn't happen, though.

The goal was to have a special holiday episode of Doctor Who, featuring a crossover with Z Cars. That episode, "The Feast of Steven," was one of the installments (episode seven, mayhaps) of the serial "The Dalek Masterplan," the longest separate serial on the original show, and it aired on 25 December. However, the BBC decided late in the plan not to have the cross, and instead the episode (which now exists only in audio form) features a sort of Keystone Kops group and lots of slapstick/pantomime-type humor (but no SF-action). It's too bad the episode didn't have the connection, although this particular installment has provoked serious debate among fans for its canonicity, for the Doctor ends the episode by turning to the camera and wishing the viewer a Happy Christmas.
