Hopefully voters give Utley extra credit for his service in World War II

Everyone except Mets fans can appreciate why Chase Utley should be admitted to the baseball Hall of Fame. Chase was put on this Earth to do two things: kill WW2-era Nazis and get hit by pitches, and Jack Kennedy asked him to stop killing Nazis on account of Operation Paperclip.

Yeah Munch is basically the Spiders Georg of the Persverse theory

Wait this made me realize that The New Girl is in the Schurverse due to the Brooklyn 99 crossover and the fact that I’m thinking of this at 12:40am is how I know I forgot to play my go to sleep music

With the caveat that it’s plausible that Detective Munch can travel seamlessly between multiverses as a sort of mythical creature (a good, compassionate, and effective member of the NYPD)
Upon careful* consideration, this is interesting, but respectfully no. The key with all these separate clusters is the known existence of discreet Jay Jackson characters. Until one of these clusters has a crossover, I think we have to remain within a multiverse.

WELL YOU’RE IN LUCK. The Tommy Westfall-verse starts at the St. Elsewhere/Homicide crossover, both which crossed over with a buttload of shows (Det. Munchiverse). Crossovers spiderwebbing out to over 400 shows INCLUDING Dexter, Supergirl, IASIP, AND Mad About You

Important additional context from one of the greatest television scholars who is on bluesky of our time

bsky.app/profile/pfto...
There was a NYC “blackout” storyline that played across Mad About You, Friends, and a short-lived Dabney Coleman show called Madman of The People. The only other sitcom on NBC that night was Seinfeld which didn’t do the blackout story, making Seinfeld Sony Spider-Man?
Mad About You and Seinfeld had a crossover in the first season with Kramer and Mad About You and Friends had repeated crossovers with Ursula so basically the 90s NBC prime time schedule was the marvel universe
November 26, 2025 at 8:20 AM
But, we know that Seinfeld is in universe because Kramer’s apartment is actually a sublet of Paul’s old bachelor pad. Maybe the blackout didn’t extend up to the UWS?
