We All Exist in Tommy Westphall's Mind

At least, most of our television programming does. Tommy Westphall is the autistic child seen in the last episode of St. Elsewhere gazing into a snowglobe of a hospital, suggesting that the entire show is just a product of his imagination. But it doesn't stop there; characters from the show have appeared on other shows, which means they're an autistic dream as well! The chain continues, and Tommy Westphall - A Multiverse Explored attempts to chronicle all of it--with a full chart showing every link, and a key explaining each one. Says St. Elsewhere creator Tom Fantana, "Someone did the math ... and something like 90 percent of all television took place in Tommy Westphall's mind. God love him."
