I saw a headline about that.

I also read a theory about the Ripper coming to America and continuing his killing spree. Everybody loves a good conspiracy theory.

And both are amateurs when compared to the Tommy Westphall Universe:

282 Television shows, and real life, are all tied together. Because they are tied together, they all actually exist only in the mind of Tommy Westphall, the autistic boy in the finale of “St. Elsewhere”.

In relation to the Tommy Westphall universe, something that I've noticed that may be more than coincidence is the relationship of the cast of St. Elsewhere to supporting characters on the The Simpsons.

As evidence, I offer the opening credits of the first 3 seasons of St. Elsewhere, the cast member and Simpsons character that may be based upon them.
