TV props united shows across networks and genres isn't exactly a new thing. Morley Cigarettes, anybody? The brand preferred by The X-Files' Cigarette Smoking Man has popped up on Breaking Bad, 24, American Horror Story, ER, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and more of your favorite shows. The packaging looks like the original Marlboro packs.

The same prop newspaper has also appeared across dozens of movies and TV shows including Married…With Children, Desperate Housewives and Modern Family. And perhaps the only living thing to appear across and unite various shows: John Munch.

Richard Belzer has played the Munch character on: Law and Order, Homicide: Life on the Street, Law and Order: SVU, The X-Files, The Wire and Arrested Development.
