In "A Slow Fade To Black", movie mogul Mike Kirsch rails against the psychological Westerns that were being made at the time, in which the cowboys were "mental patients talking about Freud".This might be a reference to the movies made by Anthony Mann and Budd Boettlicher, among others. Some movies that might fit the bill were "The Left-Handed Gun", "Invitation To A Gunfighter", and modern Westerns like "The Misfits", "Hud", and "Lonely Are The Brave".
All of these have proven to be classics, which shows how out of step Kirsch had become with the times.....

Here's another example: Felix Unger and Oscar Madison of 'The Odd Couple'. Decades later, there would be two brothers running a garage named Jack and Tony who looked exactly like them. No connection; it's just that the cosmic powers that be must like to see such doppelgangers approximate the lives of the originals. (Tony and Jack appeared in an episode of 'Brother's Keeper', a short-lived sitcom.)
This could mean that this particular alternate dimension was the same as that found in the two-part 'Doctor Who' story "The Age Of Steel" and "The Rise Of The Cybermen".
As we know from 'Sliders', there are an infinite number of parallel worlds, but Dr. Bishop operates as though there is only the one other one. The breakthroughs made by Quinn Mallory would not happen for another few years after Walter made his historic crossing over into that other world. Walter had his dimensional mirror attuned to only that one interdimensional frequency and may not have thought to explore any others.
But that didn't happen when the Gallifreyan Time Lords traveled between dimensions, utilizing the feature of the TARDIS that allowed passage through the "relative dimensions of space". And it was this capability which Quinn Mallory, "Q-Ball", was able to tap into with his hand-held device on 'Sliders'.
In the futile hope to prevent Rose from ever trying to cross over back and forth between the dimensions, the Doctor once again lied, this time saying that such travel could never be attempted again. But that warning really only applies to the parallel world of John Lumic's Cybermen, and now 'Fringe' is showing the truth in that declaration.....
Vog kidnapped a young but powerful wizard named Lutai so that he could produce a magic spell that would make the aged king young again. The evil Vog wanted his reign over the Hartans to continue far longer than a normal man's life span, and that would only mean decades more of death and destruction for the Hartan people; perhaps even an eternity if the spell could be perpetuated.
Vog then dipped two fingers into the mixture and tasted it. The results were almost instantaneous as Vog clutched at his chest and fell to his knees; with a golden flash of light, he was transformed into... a puppy.
"I never promised I would turn him into a young man," Lutai smirked. (That must have been some magic, to make his robes and crown disappear like that!)

I'm not sure if the same plots have resurfaced in the new series, recycled from the 1989 version, but that wouldn't matter either. Characters from one show reliving events that happened in other shows happens all the time in Toobworld. The American version of 'The Office' followed the same plots of the British original until they finally ran out and found their own voice. It even happens within the same show - Captain Amos Burke twice had a murder case in which a magician was shot dead while in a coffin that had been at the bottom of a pool. And that crime was even committed on another series, 'Blacke's Magic'. (The reason why Captain Burke couldn't remember the first case when it happened again was because he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's.....)

These pictures are from the adaptation of "The House Of The Seven Gables" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It was presented as an episode in the children's anthology series 'Shirley Temple's Storybook' and it stands at the official televersion of that early American classic in the TV Universe. 
The presentation starred Shirley Temple, Agnes Moorehead, Martin Landau, Jonathan Harris, John Abbott, and Robert Culp as the mysterious Mr. Holgrave. (I believe that it was originally presented in black and white and later colorized for the DVD release.)

As the series progresses, this worldly version of Radar was apparently not wholly to the writers' liking, and Radar evolved into a naïve farm boy. Cigars and strong liquor made him ill or dizzy (despite him frequently drinking and smoking cigars previously), and despite numerous references to him losing his virginity in earlier episodes, he appeared to have regained it later in the series. His favorite beverage was Grape Nehi. In "The Novocaine Mutiny," it is revealed that Radar won $300 from Sgt. Zale in a poker game. A minor change was that he lost the ability to speak fluent Korean which should have been a blow to the camp as he was the only person who spoke it, even if in later episodes it was only a few halting sentences.
Just as a farewell party for Radar is about to start, a helicopter of wounded soldiers arrives, immediately cancelling the party. The unit has no time to waste, but they manage to say their goodbyes to Radar. Among the sendoffs, Colonel Potter wishes him a choked-up "Godspeed, son," and Charles addresses him by his given name, Walter. The only principal colleague he does not get to say goodbye to in person is Hawkeye, who was caught up in the flurry of triaged patients. As Radar looks inside the OR from the window, Hawkeye looks up at him and gives him a farewell salute (a rare military formality from Hawkeye). Radar salutes back, then boards a jeep and leaves the M*A*S*H 4077th for the last time.
Radar would be mentioned after his departure from the camp in three later episodes. In "Period of Adjustment" (the first episode to air after "Good-Bye, Radar"), it is revealed that Radar met B.J. Hunnicutt's wife and young daughter in San Francisco on his way back home, and that the youngster had mistaken Radar for her father (a revelation that sends Hunnicutt into a bitter depression).
Gary Burghoff reprised the Radar character in two 1984 episodes of the M*A*S*H spinoff series, AfterMASH. In the first, he responds to a letter from Klinger concerning the latter's experiences at a stateside VA hospital; in the second, two-part episode, Radar is due to be married but develops cold feet when he suspects his intended of infidelity. 
In the 1984 television movie W*A*L*T*E*R, which was intended as a pilot for another prospective spinoff show, Radar - having sold the family farm and sent his mother to live with an aunt - moves to St. Louis, Missouri, leaving Iowa and the "Radar" nickname behind (now just being known as Walter O'Reilly), and joins the police department. In St. Louis, his gentle manner and resourcefulness make him good at dealing with the public. W*A*L*T*E*R was never picked up as a series, however, and the movie proved to be the character's final appearance.
