WIth CBS adding Supergirl to DC's television franchise, is it possible to ever have their properties crossover?
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.

Does it matter? Seriously, not EVERYTHING has to connect or crossover with one another. Properties have to be able to stand on their own and not rely on something else in order to be relevant. It's one of the reasons I've been happy with DC's TV strategy so far.
While it's fun for crossovers and what not, I hate feeling like if I DON'T watch everything else related to a property then I'm missing out. I want shows/movies to give me the full picture and be satisfying in their own right.
The only thing that bugs me about this is that they see the success elsewhere and are looking for a quick cash grab. Obviously networks like Fox or CBS have more money than CW, so they will always get it. Does that meant they are good for them? No.
The second these slip in ratings they will can them and all stories leading to that point will then be worthless. Hell we will be lucky if they don't end on some cliff hanger, especially with Fox roaming about....
CW at least takes care of their properties and are not looking to get American Idol ratings out of everything.
Stories, Plot, Characters and Character developments works well without the need to shoe-horn references and acknowledgement of other connected parties, left and right.
As much as I've loved Marvel's Cinematic universe, I have to wonder how valid of an argument is it to have superhero movies take a breather every once and a while.
I can think of several great films that never crossed over and were better for it (TDK, Spider-man 2, BB, X2).
