Now at Flashbak, I take a look at superhero TV cross-overs.
Here's a snippet and the url (http://flashbak.com/your-show-or-mine-the-most-unforgettable-live-action-superhero-crossovers-in-cult-tv-history-27853/ )
"A
“crossover” is an incidence in which a character from one TV series appears on
the TV series of another popular character.
Although
many cult-television programs – such as Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987
– 1994) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993 – 1999) -- have featured such
cross-over events, examples of the form have been a veritable staple, in
particular of superhero programming.
Please
note that it is not enough to introduce a new comic-book character or
characters (like Hawk Man or The Wonder Twins) to an existing series (as often
happened on Smallville [2001 – 2011]) for example.
Rather,
this kind of cross-pollination occurs when superheroes from different productions or TV series
appear.
Here
are a few notable examples of the superhero cross-over."
I always appreciate a good crossover episode. I think my favorite from my boyhood were all the Bionic Woman and Six Million Dollar Man episodes that you mentioned.
