Challenge Time

Winter 2001

Here is a new challenge for your consideration.

This time it is a Crossover Challenge. What is new about a crossover story? You may wonder, nothing much. There have been a number of crossover stories, and each of them has been enjoyable to read.

is time, you get to write a crossover story with regards to using any other Police or Detective shows that you may wish to use. The major catch to this challenge is you cannot use any shows that have been used before as a major component of this story. If it is a secondary part of the story, it is acceptable but a New Show Source needs to be used as the primary source of the crossover.

The shows that CANNOT be used are

*Shows Used*	The authors that I remember doing the crossover
Gilligans Island
Highlander	Peg Keeley
Island Son	Gina Martin
Magnum PI	Gina Martin, Cindy Kimura
Man from UNCLE	Gina Martin
Marker	Gina Martin and Linda Maclaren

What is open for possible use is

A Team	Lois and Clark aka Superman
Andy Griffith	Mannix
Adam 12	McCloud

Barney Miller	Mod Squad
Barretta	Murder, She Wrote
Burke’s Law	Perry Mason
Cannon	Police Woman

Columbo	Rockford Files
Diagnosis Murder	Scarecrow and Mrs. King
Dragnet	Starsky and Hutch
Ellery Queen	Streets of San Francisco
Hill Street Blues	SWAT
In The Heat of the Night	The Rookies
Kojak	Vega$

What a list? And it could be longer but I think you get the idea. If you have another show in mind to crossover with, that is fine too. Like I said, the catch is, if you use a crossover that was used before, it must be a secondary crossover to the new crossover show source.

You well notice some of the shows that are listed currently on television or were on after Hawaii Five-O went off the aire. Consider this point.

In Diagnosis Murder, Dr. Solan is an doctor close to his retirement age. In the 1970’s Dr. Solan would have been a younger version of himself with young children. Thus, he would be able to crossover as that younger doctor visiting Hawaii.

Another show that could crossover into Hawaii Five-O is a show that was on before Five-O aired. Were the main character of the “Burke’s Law” could easily have continued his career. Thus Captain Burke could have gone to Hawaii for his honeymoon. When Burke’s Law came back onto the aire a few years ago, he had a grown son and he was a top official officer in the LA Department. Resulting in continuing his career while Five-O was on the aire.

This crossover can be a full story, which would be great. The other alternative is a confrontation between one of the many characters of Five-O and the other Police Show, such as, Detective Joe Friday having a conversation with Steve McGarrett. If you go with this idea, we will need some kind of lead into the confrontation, so we know what the basic situation is about. Just picture Jack Vs Jack (LMAO).

Enjoy your writing and I can’t wait to get the results.

I will permit some sexual content in the story but it CAN’T be a graphic sexual act. I think we all know how the act goes, plus there are minor’s that read the Five-O stories. I would like to keep the stories fun and enjoyable.

I will post the result after St. Patrick’s Day.

Please email the stories to me at Five-O-Crazy@worldnet.att.net. Yes this is another one of my email address. I’m this one here because it will help to sort out the challenges from the rest of my email.
