Crossover for 'Happy Endings' and 'Apartment 23'?

"Happy Endings" may cross the hall into "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" this fall. And, according to TV Guide, the portal connecting these alternative universes will be James Van Der Beek, who plays a version of himself on "Apartment 23."

The idea -- pitched by "Happy Endings" executive producer Jonathan Groff to "Apartment 23" creator Nahnatchka Kahn -- wouldn't be a typical cast swap. Rather, the gang from "Happy Endings," which precedes "Apartment 23" on this fall's ABC schedule, will end an episode by happily watching "Dawson's Creek" and wondering aloud what ever happened to Van Der Beek.

"They have some theories about what he's doing now and then they go right into our show and we see what James is doing," Kahn told the magazine, adding: "I would love it."

Darn David why did you have to remind us of TGIF? I miss those shows! No one got shot! No one said penis, balls, vagina nor any of the other words they try to fit in now just because they can :( AND no freaking autopsy!! It seems like every show I watch now I get to see one of those ...

Nothing new about this at all. Pretty much the entirety of ABC's lineup back in the late-80s/90s during the TGIF era crossed over with each other. Full House, Family Matters, Step-by-Step, Boy Meets World and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper. all had characters make appearances in each others' shows (Urkel was in all of them but Mr. Cooper, which had Michelle and Uncle Jesse make an appearance). For that matter, Family Matters spun off from Perfect Strangers.
