The show had crossover episodes twice; in 2016 and 2021 with ''[[Thatteem Mutteem]]'', a family comedy sitcom series broadcast over the weekend on the same channel. The titles of the special episodes were like a combination of the titles of both series; "Marithatteem Mayammutteem" and "Thatteem Mayam Mutteem Mayam" in 2016 and 2021 respectively. All the special episodes were a backdrop to Onam celebrations.
