It used to be that two shows crossing over was a bit of a rare event, depending on what it entailed. But that’s changed, especially in recent years.
Now, those events — whether across multiple episodes or even networks or on a smaller scale, with one or two characters — happen more and more often. Obviously, all the NCIS shows share a universe, though we have yet to see all three teams work together on a case.
But through smaller crossovers, other procedurals are also connected to that world. Scroll down as we break down all the connections throughout the CBS dramas. (Note: if an actor has only appeared as a different character on another show, we’re not counting it here.)
