The St. Elsewhere/Law & Order/X-Files Universe
by muybueno16 | created - 23 Jan 2014 | updated - 1 week ago | PublicAlso included are various sketch comedies, late-night talk shows and sitcoms where the actors play their characters from these shows.
I’ve excluded plenty of material that seems like parodies or easter eggs taken out of context.
I also included more David E. Kelley connections that I noticed that aren’t included on these lists or sites. I don’t think the Miss Match connection to Boston Legal is valid, just someone mistaking the actress playing a coincidentally named character. The Degrassi ref to St. Elsewhere is clearly meant to be campy not legit. The rest are things connected to one believing anyone smoking a cigarette is part of the X-Files or Party of Five when they’re just reusing cigarette props.
