Two hit shows collided to make this one, “Johnny Bravo” and “Scooby-Doo”. It all started with Johnny’s car breaking down, the Scooby gang wanting to help and it all ended in Johnny’s aunt’s haunted mansion. The crossover was a perfect mix of Johnny Bravo’s muscle-flexing silliness and Scooby-Doo’s mystery-solving antics.

13. “Simpsorama” (2014)
A crossover episode that fans of “The Simpsons” and “Futurama” couldn’t get enough of. Bender lands in the city of Springfield with one purpose: to kill Homer Simpson.
