(Note: Elizabeth Taylor starred in a four episode CBS crossover event alternately advertised as “Taylor Made Monday” or “Liz Night”. It began on an episode of The Nanny called “Where’s the Pearls?” Celebrities would usually not count as the same “character” simply by appearing in two shows, but this specific version of Elizabeth Taylor followed a plotline throughout the night.

Candice Bergen appears as herself playing Murphy Brown on an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer gets cast on the show.

Murphy Brown and Love & War shared a plotline about how the news and everyday people reacted to an O.J. Simpson style murder and car chase featuring an astronaut named Duke Robinson. Lane Smith played the voice of Robinson on Murphy Brown and an uncredited actor played him in an non speaking role on Love & War.)
