The flashback episode of the West Wing where they showed how Josh got Sam to leave the law firm, he kept having to show up at the law firm to talk to Sam because he couldn't remember the name of it and couldn't look it up in the phone book.
Another two that are connected but not YET connected to Tommy are The OC and Grey's. Summer's dad left LA to go up to Seattle to work at Seattle Grace.
So if either of those are pulled in, they are both pulled in.
Veronica Mars is a bit connected to the OC, I think: Something to do with VM being set in "Balboa County," and one or two other references. From there, it's on to Tommy.
By the way, can I suggest two more exceptions to be listed in the rules?
1. Characters from one show watching another on TV. (Harsh Realm on the X-Files, etc.)
2. Sets of actors appearing on another show- The Jeffersons on Lois and Clark, Cosby Show-Cosby, etc.
Until I knew of Westphall I always thought that people watching tv shows on other shows made them very MUCH not linked (or referances, X-Files on Buffy, X-Files on Angel, etc.) So I got very very confused when X-Files was watched on Millenium and then they did the crossover. But thanks to Tommy's messed up mind, it doesn't bother me anymore.
According to this the Los Angeles Tribune from "Lou Grant" also appeared in "Columbo"
If this counts it would also bring in his wife's show "Mrs. Columbo/Kate Columbo/Kate The Detective/Kate Loves A Mystery"
It would also bring in "Magnum PI" "Kojak" and "The Streets of San Francisco" because Magnum was at a convention with Columbo and the other detectives, and that brings in more shows http://www.thrillingdetective.com/magnum.html
It would be good if this connection counts, not as good as including that grid wrecker Father Guido Sarducci but still good.

It's always been my contention that Mrs. Columbo/Kate Callahan was not married to the Lt. Columbo that we know, but instead to a different LAPD detective who was also a lieutenant named Columbo.
It could happen; it's not that uncommon a name.....
Kate Mulgrew's character was about 25 years younger than Peter Falk's, and yet it was stated in the original series that Columbo and his wife were high school sweethearts.
Such a theory is just a polite way of keeping it out without admitting to one's opinion of the show itself......
(I forgot all about that 'Columbo' mention of the Tribune by Mark. Just as I've forgotten the third link for the Los Angeles Sun and haven't found it yet in my files. But the other two were 'The Debbie Reynolds Show' and of course, 'My Favorite Martian'.)
Not sure if you guys got my email or not, (I sent it to the smashbc screen name), but 'Heroes' linked with 'Lost' last week.
Nikki/Jessica received a package in the mail, with instructions on a contract hit. Also included in the package was a brochure for Gannon Car Rental, which shows up a lot in 'Lost'. (Most recently as a sponsor of one of the football matches in last week's episode.)
If you got that email there was a link in it to a site with corroborating pics.....
Both 'Heroes' and 'Lost' are already in the mix, but it's nice to see them more closely linked. They always felt like they should be.

There's a Gage Whitney in every universe. In fact, I'd say Gage Whitney is the Wolfram and Hart of the Sorkin cluster of television universes. ;)
