Hawaii Five-0 and the NCIS universe
Way back in Season 2 of Hawaii Five-0, there was a crossover with NCIS: Los Angeles, where NCIS: L.A. character Kensi Blye showed up to help Steve and Joe in the episode Ka Hakaka Maika’i.
In another Season 2 episode, both Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) and G Callen (Chris O’Donnell) showed up in an episode that started out on NCIS: L.A.’s Season 3 episode, Touch of Death. This was the Hawaii Five-0 episode called Pa Make Loa.
As for Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I., the two shows both take place in Hawaii, so it was a surprise that it took so long for them to crossover. They finally meet up tonight.
