most TV is just the dream of an autistic child

[juldea]

This is so, so cool. Thanks for en_ki for the link. To summarize:

TV shows often have crossovers wherein an actor/actress not only guest stars on a show, s/he guest stars as his/her character from her/his main show - i.e. Richard Belzer playing Detective John Munch on Law & Order, Homicide, the X-Files, and Oz. This insinuates that these shows all exist within the same universe.

On one episode of Law & Order, the lawyers were involved in a trial of a doctor from St. Elsewhere.

St. Elsewhere ended its final episode by revealing that the entire series - the characters, the story, everything - was in fact the dream of a dying autsitic child named Tommy Westphall.

Hence, the five shows I mentioned above, as well as the other one hundred and sixty-three shows that have been linked to them through character crossovers, are all the dream of Tommy Westphall.

Dreaming the dreamer

And yet the Bob Newhart (of the Bob Newhart Show) dreamed that he was dreaming his entire second show in the final episode of the Newhart Show. It's an odd culdesac in the Tommy map.

Ah, but people dream about dreaming all the time (or at least I do)... dreaming about someone else's dream isn't that crazy :)

Right, especially if you're really familiar with the other person's dream.
