Poobala's site covers how the TV show MISTER ED played host to Irene Ryan, playing something that was essentially (if not literally) her character Granny from THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES. But since he wasn't concerned with crossovers from other media, he didn't cover "The Trials and Tribulations of Emmy Lou," an episode of MISTER ED that also served as a back-door pilot for a possible series based on the 1944-1979 comic strip EMMY LOU-- though no such TV series eventuated.
Now, had the characters of Emmy Lou and her castmates all been original creations, then this abortive pilot would only count as a "null-crossover." But since Emmy Lou had stature as the star of her own comic strip, this is a full crossover. I couldn't find a shot online from the actual episode, but here's one of actress Noanna Dix, who played Emmy Lou.
