[h2]The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis[color= rgb(85, 85, 85)][[/color]edit source | editbeta[color= rgb(85, 85, 85)]][/color][/h2]
The Tommy Westphall universe hypothesis, an idea discussed among some television fans, makes the claim that not only does St. Elsewhere take place within Tommy's mind, but so do numerous other television series which are directly and indirectly connected to St. Elsewhere through fictional crossovers and spin-offs, resulting in a large fictional universe taking place entirely within Tommy's mind.[sup][2][/sup][sup][3][/sup][sup][4][/sup][sup][5][/sup][sup][6][/sup] In 2002 writer Dwayne McDuffie wrote Six Degrees of St. Elsewhere for the Slush Factory website, the earliest version of the hypothesis to be found online.[sup][7][/sup] In a 2003 article published on BBC News Online, St. Elsewhere writer Tom Fontana was quoted as saying, "Someone did the math once... and something like 90 percent of all [American] television took place in Tommy Westphall's mind. God love him."[sup][8][/sup]
[h3]An example of crossover[color= rgb(85, 85, 85)][[/color]edit source | editbeta[color= rgb(85, 85, 85)]][/color][/h3]
The St. Elsewhere characters of Dr. Roxanne Turner (Alfre Woodard) and Dr. Victor Ehrlich (Ed Begley, Jr.) appeared on Homicide: Life on the Street.[sup][9][/sup][sup][1
![0]](/styles/default/xenforo/NTemojis/alien.gif "Alien 0]")
[/sup] Fontana was the executive producer and showrunner for Homicide for its entire seven years.The argument of the Tommy Westphall Universe is that because of this fictional crossover, the two series arguably exist within the same fictional universe, and within Tommy Westphall's mind because of the final episode of St. Elsewhere; by extension this hypothesis can therefore be extended to series ranging from the science fiction program The X-Files to the entire Law & Orderfranchise (due to various crossovers with characters from the Homicide series, in particular Det. John Munch).

The ending of the wire was sad because all the work the cops did was for nothing. The cycle was going to continue. Michael was the new omar, Dukie and arabber were the new Bubbles and Sherod, snydor was the new McNulty

The cops didn't do all the work for nothing. They got Chris Partlow on the one murder based on solid police work, and eventually got him to cop to all the murders in vacants (after working Levy). That was all real police work. Marlo walked, but it wasn't without consequences.

The cops did a solid job but the ending of the show brought us right back to where the show started. The cycle they tried to stop on every level (corruption,the drug trade, sketchy police tactics) was going to continue no matter what they did. Valchek was going to be the corrupt commish, dukie was the new dope fiend yo take over for bubbles, etc.

About Dinosaurs:
From reading the descriptions for those episodes, it seems as if they just completely dismissed the whole extinction thing and all was back to normal.

Basically, Tisha Campbell accused Martin of sexual harassment and decided to quit the show. The whole last season, Martin and Gina never was even on screen together at the same time. The show wasn't even scheduled to end but all the BTS stuff forced them to wrap it up...

Never heard Roseanne until now. That ending sounds sad.
Maybe one day I'll watch it.

Yesir. Slim Charles becomes the new prop Joe/Marlo, Michael becomes the new Omar, one kid with the braids becomes the new bodie (kind at heart but lost in the system, forced to become the opposite)
Show was one the goats

BEST and most POIGNANT series finale of all time goes to...
SIX FEET UNDER. A TV show that was about death and a family-run funeral home ends on the most morbid - but compelling - note...
Long story short, they show how each of the characters on the show ends up dying after the show ends.
Start at 3:20
