Rules/Exclusions - In almost every category of rules/exclusions there are things that we would love to include. However, we cannot cherry pick which one
or two things in a certain category we would like to include, instead we would have to include all of a type if we allowed in some of a type. So for simplicity
(hah!) and our remaining bits of sanity we do not include any show that is not a narrative live action program with a shared continuity from episode to episode.
The particulars of the rules & exclusions are below (along with mentions of what we wish we could include, and often why the category is excluded):
1.
2. Crossovers with "real" shows and "real" people.
a. Episodes where reality shows exist within a fictional sphere are not included (such as the X-Files/COPS crossover and the Chicago
Hope/Entertainment Tonight crossover)
b. Episodes where actual people exist within a fictional sphere are not included (such as Jay Leno, Alex Trebek, and professional wrestlers and
athletes who have played themselves on many shows some of which are listed here).
c. These real/fictional crossovers are often great for a laugh and it is usually really interesting to see the real and fictional spheres meld briefly but
there is no way to fully document all of these crossovers and there is no logical stopping point for the inclusion of a show on the grounds of a
shared real space.
3. Cartoons & Puppets
a. There are a few legitimate cartoon & puppet crossovers that we would like to include (namely the Simpsons’ crossovers with Cheers and X-Files
and the Sesame Street crossover with L&O:SVU) but opening the door for the Simpsons & Sesame Street would forces us to include more than a
score of 1960s cartoon. Not only are most of those cartoons bad but cartoon crossover history is to poorly documented for even our best
searching to yield a complete list and the cartoon crossovers were rarely more than cameos
b. The cartoons that are related by loose ties to shows on the grid include: The Simpsons, The Brady Kids, the entire 1960s DC cartoonverse
(Superman, Justice League of America, Superboy, etc), the entire 1990s DC cartoonverse (Justice League, Batman Beyond, Gotham Knights,
Static Shock, etc), The Addams Family cartoon, Scooby-Doo, and the rest of the Hanna-Barbera cartoonverse.
4. Movies with theatrical debuts
a. TV miniseries, movies and reunion specials do count (assuming shared continuity with the TV show) as if they were any other episode of the
show. Movies that appeared in theaters first do not count even if they have shared continuity with the TV series (X-Files: Fight the Future,
Serenity). And they don’t count twice over when they do not share internal continuity (The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), A Very Brady Sequel
(1996), Superman & Batman movies, etc.)
5. Pilots & Spin offs & Anthology series
a. In order for a pilot or spin off to be included on the grid it must exist as a distinct aired entity. Back-door pilots that only appeared on the main
show and were never their own distinct show do not count.
b. Anthology television series (such as The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone) which assume no shared continuity between episodes are excluded
because of their lack of internal continuity.
6. The Munch Rule
a. A few different characters on the grid (John Munch, Mike Logan, Lucy Ricardo, and others) moved completely from one show to another and
then crossed over to a third show for an episode or two. On the grid and the key the crossover is only listed between the show the character was
on at the time of the cross and the show he/she crossed onto. For example, any new shows on which John Munch now appears are simply
crossovers with L&O:SVU not L&O:SVU and Homicide.
7. Fictional products that are not a substantive part of at least one show
a. While we do include Morleys and other fictional products, we only include fictional products that are an identifying plot or character point in at
least one show. No Let’s potato chips is what we are saying, that way lies more madness.
The final count:
439 shows are connected to Homicide: Life on the Street and St. Elsewhere, for a grand total of 441 series.
 The only non-US shows in the Tommyverse are: The Degrassi shows (Canada),The Office (UK), Red Dwarf (UK), the Doctor Who shows (UK),
Luther (UK), Jo (France) and Paris Section Criminelle (France). Paris Section Criminelle is the only show not in English in the Tommyverse.
 The shows span from 1951 (I Love Lucy) to the present (49 shows are still on the air). The oldest still-airing show is General Hospital (1963), with
three shows that premiered this year already on the list, as they are spin-offs from shows already on the grid: DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Fuller
House and Degrassi: The Next Class.
