LocateTV Blog

I watch many of the big shows on TV and the more I watch, the more I see links between my favorite shows. You know what it’s like… you’re watching a new episode of one show and you see someone you recognize from somewhere else but just can work out where you have seen them before. LocateTV is a great way to find the answer quickly (before your brain explodes trying to remember!).

Here is a “six degrees” list of connections I’ve made between some of my favorite TV:

Brothers and Sisters has just started again and stars Calista Flockhart who also played the lead role in Ally McBeal.

Ally’s daughter, Maddie Harrington was played by Hayden Panettiere who we now know as Claire Bennet from Heroes.

Claire Bennet’s friend Zack is play by Thomas Dekker who is also John Connor in The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

The female terminator from this show, Cameron Phillips, is played by Summer Glau who appears in Season 2 of The Unit as Crystal Burns.

Dennis Haysbert plays the team leader of the unit, Jonas Blane, was the President David Palmer in early seasons of 24.

One time chief of CTU, Reiko Aylesworth (Michelle Dessler), has made a number of appearances as the hospital chaplain Julia Dupree in recent episodes of ER.

John Mahoney had a cameo part as a patient’s lover on ER but is better known as Martin Crane in Frasier.

Frasier Crane was played by Kelsey Grammer who voices the role of Bart’s nemesis, Sideshow Bob, in The Simpsons.

Bartender, Moe Szyslak, is voiced by Hank Azaria who has made a number of appearances in Friends playing Phoebe’s geeky boyfriend David.

At this point I’m going to stop as there are so many routes out from Friends and hopefully I’ve proved my point. How about seeing if you can use LocateTV to find the links between your favorite shows… maybe you will find something new to watch along the way!
