A dark and stormy night. A shot rings out! A body falls, and
soon two NYPD
detectives are on the scene, cracking wise
about a gruesome murder. Without warning, a colorful van
screeches to a halt and out pop a ravenous slacker
and a talking Great Dane. (Or should we say a "ralking Reat Rane?")
A fever dream? Perhaps. But we prefer to think of it as a crossover between two of our favorite television shows.
Those who don't believe that the universe has a plan will have to explain why
both Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and Law & Order both
premiered on September 13 (granted, those premieres were 21 years apart, but
still ...).
The possibilities of worlds colliding in this way are endless: Daphne Blake
as Jack McCoy's
newest A.D.A.; Fred Jones and Lennie Briscoe
trading quips; and D.A. Adam Schiff ordering Scooby and Shaggy to get the hell out of his
office.
While some may consider Detective John Munch to be one of the centers
of the TV universe (after all, he's crossed over
onto nine shows),
we'll put our money on John Di Maggio, just about the only actor to appear on both shows. Ruh-roh!
