Do you think there are any other franchises taking place in the same reality as TMNT (usually produced by the same studio)? Maybe, but not necessarily on Earth or in the same time period. Like:
Mirage Studios and Image Comics productions taking place in the Mirage reality. (I'm not sure if all of them have already crossed over by this point)
Fred Wolf Studios productions taking place in the Fred Wolf reality. Maybe James Bond Junior? (I haven't seen it for years)
Archie productions taking place in the Archie reality. (I know Riverdale was an alternate Earth, as seen in a crossover comic called TMNT Meet Archie)
Fleetway productions taking place in the Fleetway reality.
New Line Cinema productions taking place in the New Line Cinema reality.
4 Kids productions taking place in the 4 Kids reality.
Saban productions taking place in the Next Mutation reality. (while Power Rangers and Next Mutation crossed over, I'm not sure if they're separate realities)
IDW productions taking place in the IDW reality.
Nickelodeon productions taking place in the 2012 Nickelodeon cartoon reality, or maybe the Rise o the TMNT reality.
Platinum Dunes productions taking place in the Platinum Dunes reality.
and so on.

I haven’t read the comics, but the others could take place in the same reality as TMNT I guess.

I don't know about official shared Universes, but the Cerebus crossover hinged on simple time travel. Of course given that TMNT is more or less meant to take place in a variation of the real world, and that Cerebus is intentionally anachronistic with more fiction than fact, I doubt Cerebus can actually take place in TMNT's past.

The Fred Wolf turtles at least share the same Earth with Sherlock Holmes and the Arthurian Family. Just different locations and time period.

Public Domain characters? I guess that such a thing technically counts but it seems rather cheap. It's kind of like how the Cerebus crossover can't really share continuity with the Cerebus series proper, continuity and canon sort of stop applying when anyone can make their own versions of characters, as such the idea of a shared universe becomes almost laughable. In order for it to be somewhat satisfying, I'd say those particular versions of them would have to make unambigious appearences in other shows.

You know what I find truly bizzare?

The best thing to me about Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue is that it's an anti-drug PSA that couldn't possibly have been conceived and executed without copious amounts of drugs being involved.

For "same reality" you mean even dimension?
I'm not really sure, but I think that the world of Usagi Yojimbo (Third Earth) is parallel to the world of the TMNT (as stated in the 2003 series).

Wasn't Third Earth the name of the the Earth where the 4 Kids Turtles live?

I’m not sure of this but I think I heard somewhere it’s possible Toxic Crusaders is the same universe as Fred Wolf TMNT.

The TMNT's reality is third earth. I'm pretty sure they mentioned what reality Usagi came from but it wasn't as easy to find. I believe it was second earth but I'm not sure.
Your OP is all over the place, I think you mean other franchises in continuity with the show?
I guess the OT is technically canon with the space usagi pilot and sites back in the day used to say Cowboys of Moomesa was in continuity with the OT despite no crossover just because they did crossover in the comics.
The Image TMNT crossed over with the Image universe so they're definitely in the same earth as savage dragon, spawn, gen 13 and others.
Since we have a few DC crossovers now I guess those specific continuities live in an earth with all DC heroes.
Saban productions taking place in the Next Mutation reality. (while Power Rangers and Next Mutation crossed over, I'm not sure if they're separate realities)
The Next Mutation TMNT definitely take place in the same universe as power rangers. (https://miscrave.com/articles/nt-tnm/) Which is weird since their powers are totally different levels, but both franchises do mix technology and fantasy.

People say the same thing about TMNT itself until you stop and realise one of the guys involved is famously straight laced Peter Laird. Clearly some people just have weird brains.

Clearly some people just have weird brains.I never really considered Mike, Slimer, Pooh, the ducks etc all being in the same universe. I mean it would be cool. I mean the best shared universe even however it could also be a recipe for disaster. :ohwell:
