I must admit I only saw 1 or 2 episodes from each show back when they first aired, but it strikes me as something weird to see these two as a part of the same franchise:

- https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/65/bones
Are they really connected story-wise?
They had a crossover event in 2015 -- admittedly the weirdest and most-forced 'crossover' perhaps ever. :-)

I didn't know that was the ground for Franchise. "Magnum, P.I." and "Murder, She Wrote" had such connected 2-episode event but they aren't part of the same franchise.

One crossover episode is not a reson for a franchise :)

It would be cool to have "Crossover" connection which would clarify many such incorrect franchise connections plus it would be cool to know which show crosses episodes with which other show.

I think that is planned on the epsiode level.

Already available as an episode note type at episode level too 😂.
Looking at the connections for Bones, the only "franchise" that should stay is Bones and The Finder. Bones had a backdoor pilot for Finder and characters crossed over in a couple of episodes after that.
I have no idea what Rosewood even is for that relationship.
EDIT: Added the episode notes for the Sleepy Hollow/Bones crossover and removed the franchise relationship. (I watched both shows, so I knew where the crossover was).
EDIT2: Looking at Rosewood, it seems the relationship is there because of a guest appearance by a Bones character (one of the interns) There is no crossover with Bones, and it seems to be a one-off for the Bones character to show up. Not sure that should count as a franchise either.

Great, thanks!
