Exchange between Ally McBeal and Bobby Donnell on one of the best TV crossover episodes ever: the lawyers of Ally McBeal (FOX) need help with a murder case, so they cross the street, and the network, to visit the lawyers of ABC's The Practice. Naturally, the folks at The Practice, a very serious show, think the lawyers of Ally McBeal are loopy.

"Maybe you should eat a cookie."

Not a crossover episode: more of a crossover moment. Ally gets into an elevator, and Helen Gamble (Lara Flynn Boyle) from The Practice is on it. Both actresses are known to be frighteningly thin. For the record: Helen started it.

You're thinking along the right lines: more recent, but not current.
Another hint: It's got something in common with the last answer

If the common link is Candace Bergen, it could be "Murphy Brown."

The common link is not Candace Bergen.
The common link is not on camera, except tangentially, maybe, a tiny bit.
By "it's got something in common with the last answer," I meant the last correct answer, from the previous clue.
In other words, something in common with Boston Legal

Boston Legal is a spinoff of The Practice.
