Another point against 'Movies Don Not Count' ...
The beverly Hillbillies got a movie treatment in 1994, and while most agree that the feature compared badly to the original TV show some noticed a neat cameo by Buddy Ebsen (the original Jed Clampett).
Only - he played Banaby Jones, aging PI hero of the eponymous TV show which ran for seven and a half seasons from Jnauary 1973 to April 1980. Barnaby Jones can be considered a spin-off from 'Cannon' since the William Conrad-played PI appeared in Barnaby´s pilot episode.
Back to the movie: Since the Clampetts and company were played by new actors, Mr. Ebsen could not possibly resume his Jed part again (the original show started thirty years before the movie). To me, his Barnaby appearance in the movie serves as a nod to both his signature characters, and this is good enough for me to include Barnaby Jones and Cannon in my next Wanderers' update.

Today my list reached 282 with addition of Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure, however it can still grow bigger.
I have read several places that St. Elsewhere would often page doctors from other medical shows over there PA system, however I could not find any more information on it, douse anybody know who was paged.
I still have work to do on the list, like adding characters named Robot played by Robby, and shows were Mayberry was seen, I hope one day Tommy's mind will have 1000 shows

How do you get Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure in? I know the link between the two - although it makes no sense. But how does it link to the Tommyverse.
I don't know if St E did the intercom thing, but other shows are in because they intercommed St E doctors.
Good job finding that movie JohnMunch I think that it should count
This is a better connection then they one I have on my list, now at 320, which involves The Incredible Hulk, Galactica 1980, and V all reusing footage from the movie Earthquake
When are we going to see a new Wanderers it's been almost a year since you updated it and you might be able to use some people from my list like Mr. French and J.R. Ewing

Reusing footage does also count? This is getting a bit off-kilter, my friend.
Re Wanderers: With my inclusion of the extended Warnerverse and numerous Gilligan appearances (dreaming and awake), a massive update with some 20 new entries is coming your way in 3-4 weeks. First I have a move to finish. Yo Keith - who will update first? ;-)
Sorry if this is the wrong way to do this, but last night's Brothers & Sisters mentioned NBS, the fictional TV network of "Studio 60..." and "Network." This means, of course, that there are two guys who look a lot like Steven Weber in Los Angeles.
UBS was the network in "Network". But along with 'Studio 60', NBS could be a network in 'Odyssey 5'. They had a station that could have been an O&O by the call letters WNBS. Of course, that's just hypothetical....

... does anybody here remember a guy named Rerun and his buddies?
Apparently, they were the stars of 'What´s Happening!!' and its sequel show, 'Whats Happening Now?'.
And they appeared in ep.#7 of TBBH.
Another two notches for Tommy.
