What two shows would you love to see together? For whatever reasons you want.

Agent Carter integrated in any of the Netflix marvel series TBH, but that won't happen.

X-Files and Gilmore Girls. Instead of remaking both of them, just remake them into one glorious, beautiful, evocative narrative of Mulder, Scully, Lorelei, and Rory hanging out, drinking coffee, and hunting ghosts and aliens in a heart-breakingly beautiful New England town.

I think this would work but I should also say that "hunting ghosts and aliens in a small town" is probably my favorite genre so.

Galavant and Game of Thrones. I just want to see hilarious musical interludes in Game of Thrones. Plus, Tad Cooper vs Drogon.

a sick part of me would love to see what musical interlude they would have used for either the Red or Purple Wedding ::amused snicker::

I love this and I don't even like GoT.

for the pure amusement factor - but the cartoons "Dragon Flyz" and "Sky Dancers". Helps that they share a few of the same voice actors.

Supernatural and Criminal Minds. Buffy and Criminal Minds. Doctor Who and Criminal Minds. Everything scifi/supernatural/magic and Criminal Minds, basically. Also Doctor Who and Buffy.

During my time in SPN I read few really good SPN/CM crossovers.

Just don't cross fantasy and sci-fi, because they headbutt. I have a long diatribe about this, but I will keep it for my own response in this thread.

"Criminal Minds"/"How to Get Away with Murder". There's already been a few people from the former popping up on the latter (they played one-off characters on CM, mind, but still), so there's a bit of a connection already on that front.

But ultimately, I just think seeing the BAU try and solve all the crimes Annalise Keating and her gang have committed would be all sorts of crazy fun :D. It'd also be entertaining to see all the various character interactions.

Criminal Minds and The X-Files. Mulder used to be a profiler, but now...It'd be hilarious.

Also Criminal Minds and Sherlock. The CM people would be appalled at Sherlock's glee and try to profile him as much as their UnSub, while Sherlock would probably think the whole notion of profiling is stupid.

Oooh, or CM with Brooklyn Nine Nine. Again, for the hilarity.

I think I just want a CM comedy, really.

I think I just want a CM comedy, really.

I'd love that, too :D. The CM cast certainly has a funny side to them, if their behind the scenes antics have been anything to go by over the years :p. And some of them have been in comedic roles before on other shows.

My CM comedy pick would be a crossover with "Community". Paget Brewster was on both shows, so there's so much they could do with that setup alone. And seeing the team's reactions to the weirdness that is Greendale College would be hysterical.

I also think "Community" would cross over perfectly with "Strangers with Candy".

Scrubs and Breaking Bad

Little obvious maybe, but Psych and X-Files

Years ago I made a secret about wanting an X-Files/Silent Hill crossover. I still stand by that.

The Justice League and The Powerpuff Girls

I'd also, very randomly, like to see first movie!Iron Man Pepper Potts and Batman Begins Rachel Dawes have a brunch date lol

Partly inspired by Phillstar22's reply:

I have real issue about crossing sci-fi shows and fantasy shows, because it always ends up with a conflict in the basic ideology of how the world works. The best example I can bring up is SuperWhoLock, which is basically a fantasy series, a sci-fi seeries, and a detective series piled together.
Doctor Who always takes fantasy ideas and gives them a sci-fi technobabble explanation, like gods are not really "gods", just very, very powerful entities, demons and angels are likewise, often with some sort of "well they're an ancient species from early in the development of the universe" background. Psychic ability may exist but once again given sci-fi technobabble reasons. Creatures like vampires and werewolves are usually aliens or diseases (usually alien diseases at that).
SPN is based on a very religio-fantasy basic - there is a God, there are angels, demons, a Heaven, a Hell, a Purgatory. There is magic, and vampires, werewolves, and they exist due to magic.

The cross of those two principals always ends up with one explanation trumping the other, and often it ends up being smug about it.

Now the Sci-fi/proceedural or fantasy/proceedural crosses, they can work better, because often it's the ordinary police investigators (or in Sherlock crosses, ordinary but super-intelligent detective) discovering somethign outside their previous knowledge - like finding out there is a Maic World living right alongside them, or meeting a time-traveling alien. That works because the ordinary factor often can be the audience avatar.

Now that is to say there aren't some crosses that can work - I tend to think Harry Potter can cross with a lot of present-day sci-fi settings - hell I have a bookmark for a HP/Avengers cross where Harry is Thor's son, from a previous "Banish Thor to teach him humility" attempt, where he was incarnated on Earth as a baby James Potter.
I also think Mass Effect is a good cross with fantasy, maybe because ME feels like Dragon Age IN SPACE!, something that may come from the fact that it is DA's Bioware sibling, and also that biotics just sound like a way to sci-fi technobabble magic. Also, I feel that ME/DA crosses work just fine.

On the other hand, I think LotR does not do well as a direct crossover with almost anything. I really dislike "Modern Girl Falls Into Middle Earth" narratives, and that extends to a lot of fictional settings - like I can't accept Harry Potter in Middle Earth.
Of course I will acknowledge I have a headcanon that is "Middle Earth Girls Fall Into Another World (Thedas)", but en=ven then some canons I can't quite work out how that would work (I have tried to work out how my Silmaril muses could fit into Baldur's Gate - it doesn't work).

LotR works better, IMO, as a reincarnation set-up. That ends up more "Normal Person Discovers (remembers) Something Unusual" in narrative.

To be fair to Mass Effect, Bioware also worked on the original Star Wars KOTOR and the plot was more or less the then-latest recycling of a basic outline they've been using since Baldur's Gate.

Maybe the story formula goes right back to Baldur's Gate, but I feel Baldur's Gate falls closer to LotR in my opinion, because I think Dungeons and Dragons is as crossable as LotR - at least when crossing it with outside works. Internal crosses between D&D worlds - like characters from Krynn ended up in Faerûn works because they are on the same level - hell BG2 did exactly that, with some Knights of Solamnia (Krynn, Dragonlance) in the Planar Sphere (BG is Forgotten Realms), or characters from either of those worlds visiting Sigil.

But a character from Modern Earth ending up in Faerûn? Well I have seen a couple of good ones (though the Buffy one was more "The Scoobies get downloaded into the computer game" than actual dimensional travel), but a writer would have to handle it extremely well to avoid the pitfalls of "Ordinary Girl Falls Into Magic World" plot.

Person Of Interest and Dollhouse.

Both exist in the present time or near future and involve secret technological/mechanical advances. Both shows also have similar themes of the morality and identity surrounding the use and knowledge of these new technologies.

Also Whiskey is Root and Root is Whiskey. Whiskey was the #1 doll before 'the incident' and that could account for all the near superhuman feats Root achieves. Root was an accomplished hacker as a child and it follows that she could have found out about the dollhouse or been caught committing some other crime and been given the option to do her time there instead of in prison - the same way Echo was. The dollhouse technology in her brain could also be the reason the machine is about to communicate with Root easier than any of the others.

Basically I think there's a lot of interesting ideas and stories that could be explored if these two shows both existed in the same universe.

Boardwalk Empire and Jeeves and Wooster (as long as neither Jeeves nor Bertie gets hurt!)
