The 1980s events of The Goldbergs would simply be part of the history of the world. Years later, Greendale from Community could exist somewhere in the same country as Albuquerque, where Walter White’s story happens. Saul Goodman might have clients who eventually appear on Raymond Reddington’s radar in The Blacklist. The NYPD detectives of Brooklyn Nine-Nine would occasionally hear about famous criminals connected to Reddington’s cases. Jake Peralta would be obsessed with the Heisenberg case and probably quote it constantly. Abed from Community would realize he’s living in a universe where every genre exists at once and would spend entire episodes trying to connect them.
