Post weird pop culture stuff you just found out existed. Did you know that the final episode of Webster was a crossover with Star Trek: The Next Generation?

Here's Lucy was Lucille Ball's third (or possibly fourth) sitcom, after I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show (and The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, if you count it separate from I Love Lucy). It was popular when it first aired but, for a variety of reasons I won't get into, never really had much of a life in syndicated reruns like its predecessors. Because of that this moment featuring a meet-up of three of the most iconic actors in early television has been mostly forgotten to pop cultural history -
Here is Who Shrunk Saturday Mornings?, a prime time television special meant to advertise NBC's upcoming Saturday Morning line-up for 1989. It is most famous for another meet-up of iconic pop culture historic figures as the Saved by the Bell cast meets ALF -

Maroon 5 have remained in the public eye for over 20 years, which is really impressive for elevator music

Boy George appeared in an episode of The A-Team. I'm a huge George / Culture Club fan and this episode never fails to make me laugh. Just when you thought The A-Team couldn't get any sillier...

Whole special is here www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGJ1y_Qsa3g

The Family Matters and Full House crossover In which Stephanie is self-conscious about her need to wear glasses, gets over it by the end of the episode, and then we never see her in glasses again.

St. Elsewhere and Cheers had a crossover, St Elsewhere did a terrific job IMO of integrating a multi camera sitcom into there (Tommy Westphall) Universe

Being a fan of Brooklyn Nine Nine. I was not fully aware of the “New Girl” cross over
Yes, I knew the character played by Zooey Desch whose car Jake Peralta enters was Jess Day from the other show. But had no idea there was an episode of New Girl partly set at the 99 precient featuring appearances by more 99 characters.

This is not obscure, and I doubt anyone isn't already familiar with it, but no universe exists where Cartoon All Stars To the Rescue isn't mentioned in this thread.
just a quote from the wiki plot synopsis: "Alf, Garfield, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore track down the thief and discover that it is Michael, Corey’s brother. Alvin opens a box under his bed and Simon identifies its contents as marijuana."

George Carlin had a sitcom on Fox. I thought it was a lot better than it had any right to be. It lasted 2 seasons.

Don't think it's floating around but "Where's Everett" from 1966 is a trip of a pilot. Pre-Mash Alan Alda finds a baby on his doorstep ...who is invisible...and also an alien.
