Thanks everyone for adding to the lists of stars from the south. 

 

Gipper, I never realized before how much the voices of Joseph Cotten and Randolph Scott sound alike-- must be due to the fact they're from the same part of the country.

 

Paulll, I never would have guessed Tony Randall was a native Oklahoman..!

two hundred sixteenth category

Silent and sound versions of the same story

Screen%2Bshot%2B2016-04-14%2Bat%2B9.05.5

THE VIRGINIAN..in 1914 (by Cecil B. DeMille), again in 1923 (also a silent film), then a Gary Cooper version in 1929 and another one with Joel McCrea in 1946 (both sound). Plus a western TV program in the 1960s.

Buster Keaton’s SEVEN CHANCES, a 1925 silent comedy was remade in 1999 with Chris O’Donnell & Renee Zellweger as THE BACHELOR.

LOVE (1927) was a filming of ‘Anna Karenina’ with John Gilbert & Greta Garbo. She appeared in the sound remake in 1935 with Fredric March. It was redone in the 1940s with Vivien Leigh.

THE UNHOLY THREE--filmed 1925 and remade 1930, both versions starred Lon Chaney Sr. (his only talkie).  The only difference is the ending.

 

If it's not too late to add another name to the last category:  Chuck Norris was born in Ryan, OK.

Thanks for adding Chuck Norris!

 

I still haven't seen THE UNHOLY THREE...maybe next Halloween I will get around to it.

TEN COMMANDMENTS-- 1923 & 1956, both directed by Cecil B DeMille

KING OF KINGS- 1927 with HB Warner, 1961 with Jeffrey Hunter (and all the other versions with different titles)

SHOW BOAT - 1929 is mostly silent, then 1936 and 1951 have those lovely Jerome Kern songs

 

Pretty much all Shakespeare was made in both a silent version and a sound version

 

And Red Skelton's WATCH THE BIRDIE is technically a remake of Buster Keaton's THE CAMERAMAN with some shared gags and such, though whether or not it's the same story is up to interpretation

Great comments. The 1929 version of SHOW BOAT seems to be a rarity.

1. Murder She Wrote: Magnum on Ice (1986)

3. Ray and Debra Barone, Frank and Marie Barone, and Robert Barone appear as their Everybody Loves Raymond characters on The King of Queens, (1999 Ray appears in several during different years), (1998), (1999), (1998) respectively. 

 

Kevin James appears on Everybody Loves Raymond as Kevin (and maybe Doug later..?) (1998)

4. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

They also met Captain Kidd, Jekyll & Hyde, and others

 

First thought was WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? which has both classic Disney and Warner Brothers cartoon characters hanging out together -- a mega rarity

 

Then of course there's that BATMAN VS SUPERMAN movie that's out now

I like how you related this to classic television crossovers. That particular episode of The Ann Sothern Show is truly hilarious. Ricky's not in it, just Lucy..though Desi was the producer of Ann's show. 

Screen%2Bshot%2B2016-04-15%2Bat%2B4.09.2

You mentioned Magnum P.I. In 1982, there was a crossover involving the Simon brothers (who were also private detectives). They appeared in an episode of Magnum working on a case that led them to Hawaii. That was part one. Then, in part two, Higgins went with them back to their home turf in San Diego to finish solving the mystery on Simon & Simon. It aired the following hour that evening. Both shows were produced by Universal and were on CBS on Thursday nights which made it easy to do.

In the Poirot film THE ALPHABET MURDERS, Mrs Marple shows up briefly

 

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN is a big mash up of literary characters

 

Similarly MURDER BY DEATH has parodies of most the famous movie detectives-- Mrs Marple, Poirot, Nick &Nora, etc

 

And on TV, we saw all the main characters from MARY TYLER MOORE show up on RHODA for her wedding day

 

Best TV crossover ever, though, is the famous last scene of the series finale of NEWHART where the whole show turns out to be Dr Robert Hartley's dream

Best post!! Love all your examples. I think Newhart and St. Elsewhere are my two fave shows from the 80s.
