House
Grey's Anatomy
ER
Scrubs

Castle
CSI
Bones
Supernatural - Even if they're fake IDs.
Heroes - The FBI, The Company, Matt Parkman...
Angel - Angel Investigations

Example Crossovers
Watchmen and Ashes to Ashes - 1980's, here we come!
Dollhouse and Bones - FBI Agents and murders, oh my!
Human Target and La Femme Nikita - Undercover men and their L33T hackers face-off!
CSI and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Too many dead bodies lying around for this to end well.
Supernatural and ER (or House or even Lost) - We need a doctor, stat!
Angel and Lost - Physicists need love, too. Especially when they've been portal-and-time travelling.

Sample MultiFandom Crossover - 11 Fandoms
A string of unusual murders get Heroes' Matt Parkman involved (although The Company's already keeping tabs). Angel's Angel Investigations is chasing after rumours of disappearances and possession, with help from Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, and bump into Supernatural hunters doing pretty much the same. The multiple-homicide case is taken by Castle's homicide team (with help from the CSI team) until Bones's FBI Agent Booth gets a call from Dollhouse's ex-FBI Ballard over rogue-Doll Alpha suspsicions. Meanwhile Dollhouse's Senator (and Doll) Daniel Perrin requests Human Target assistance, but the anti-terrorist group of La Femme Nikita is also monitoring the situation, resulting in an epic hacker fight between Guerrero and Birkoff - and possibly Topher - which is spied on by Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles John, keeping tabs on disturbing new technology which could lead to SkyNet. Topher looks on in horror as he puts the pieces together (and learns more about SkyNet than he ever wanted) and Michael outspies Chance.
