Scare-A-Con Update
Today was an amazing day. Ivan Ronald Schablotski, Christofer Nigro and I realized the better plan was for us to go out and hunt down celebrities. Today we hung out with Adrienne Barbeau, Sean Whalen, Felissa Rose, Butch Patrick, Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff (the MST3K guys are going to be on our Scare-A-Con episode!!!), James Lorinz (who compared us to vaudeville, Cid Caesar, and the Three Stooges), Greg "the Hammer" Valentine, the Deadites, the hosts of the Dorkening (and I was on their show!), the Big Scary Show, Dark Discussions, the Massachusetts Ghostbusters, Decimated Designs, Lisa Cavalear of Happy Kitty Studio, David Zagorski of Mad Z Productions, Jenny Isme, Patrick Rahall of Elm Street Kids Movie Club, lots of cosplayers and fans and many more.Since my truck broke down, I was forced to stay overnight in Springfield, so thanks to our crowdfunding sponsors Christofer Nigro and Jeffrey M. Aresty that was made possible. Otherwise, today and tomorrow wouldn't have been possible.Tomorrow I will be on a panel, and we will be recording a podcast episode from the con with many celebrity guests!!!

October 1973--NEW SCOOBY-DOO MOVIES--"Scooby-Doo Meets Dick Van Dyke"--Apparently, there was a plan to reuse footage from this episode as a dream sequence where Doctor Sloan meets Scooby-Doo. That would imply that the Dick Van Dyke seen in this episode isn't the actor, but is instead Doctor Sloan.
[image error]
March 1991--JAKE AND THE FATMAN--"It Never Entered My Mind"--Diagnosis Murder is a spin-off of Jake and the Fatman.
1992--DIAGNOSIS MURDER--Police detective Steve Sloan believes that top manager Nick Osborn has killed his boss, trust-owner Russell Cord. His father, senior hospital doctor Mark Sloan, is convinced that his long-time patient Osborn is innocent and soon discovers three other top employees of the Cord Group who also had reasons for killing their boss. Pretending to be a medical police consultant, Dr Sloan starts investigating the case himself, supported by a junior doctor and a young female pathologist. Besides, the merry old doctor saves the life of a young street urchin and takes tap-dance lessons from an old patient.
1992--THE HOUSE ON SYCAMORE STREET--Dr Mark Sloan cannot believe that his former student Dr Drummond, an ambitious cosmetic surgeon, has committed suicide. Assisted by his team of hobby detectives, pathologist Amanda Bentley and junior doctor Jack Parker, Sloan tries to investigate the case. He finds out that Drummond and his senior partner, Dr Stern, had used plastic surgery to create a double of rich banker and benefactor Gantry, who is expected to make a major donation to the community hospital. Does Gantry also plan to have his double assassinated in order to vanish with the money himself?
1993--A TWIST OF THE KNIFE--Dr Sloan suspects that his flame of long ago, famous heart surgeon Dr Rachel Walters, has murdered US Senator Cabot on the occasion of a guest operation at the community hospital. After a long investigation, Sloan and fellow detectives Dr Bentley and Dr Parker discover her motive: Years ago, Cabot had caused a hit-and-run accident that put her daughter into coma. But how did Dr Walters manage to pass the deadly bacteria on to the senator in front of TV cameras?
1993 to 2002--DIAGNOSIS MURDER--Apparently, there was an episode featuring Dr. Sloan's extended family, all of whom were also played by Dick Van Dyke. Because of this, we might presume that every role ever played by Dick Van Dyke is a relative of Dr. Sloan!!!
November 1994--DIAGNOSIS MURDER--"Georgia on My Mind"--Apparently the Maltese Falcon appears, though probably not the real one.
1996 to 1999--PROMISED LAND--Episodes of these two shows share a guest character.
January 1997--DIAGNOSIS MURDER--"Murder Two"--Andy Griffith reprises his Matlock role on Diagnosis Murder.
February 1997--DIAGNOSIS MURDER--"Hard-Boiled Murder"--Pj Lozito reports: On DIAGNOSIS: MURDER, Mike Connors reprised the role of Mannix on an episode entitled “Hard-Boiled Murder,” which was a sequel to the MANNIX episode “Little Girl Lost.” Before that, Connors guest-starred on an episode of HERE’S LUCY entitled “Lucy and Mannix are Held Hostage.”
October 1997--DIAGNOSIS MURDER--"Malibu Fire"--a fire truck with the number 51 can be seen in a scene with Randy Mantooth and Robert Fuller (from EMERGENCY!).
November 1997--DIAGNOSIS MURDER--"Discards"--Cinnamon Carter appears. Click here for Thomas Holbrook's take on this crossover. Robert Culp also guest starred in the episode "Discards" as Dane Travis, a retired spy, tennis professional, and Dr. Travis' father. The character was similar to his Kelly Robinson character from I Spy , though Travis was said to have worked with the Impossible Missions Force (also seen on Mission: Impossible ).
May 1998--DIAGNOSIS MURDER--"Obsession"--I'm going to go with Toby's explanation for this one. "During the May Sweeps of that year, CBS celebrated its 50th anniversary on Television. (I'm sure the actual anniversary for the whole corporation, including radio, would have been a higher figure.) As part of the salute, certain CBS shows, both the dramas and the sitcoms, had moments in which cameos from the archives were blended into the present day narrative.alking through the hallways of a major communications building, Dr. Mark Sloan looked into an engineering booth and saw Rob Petrie spinning records for a radio station. Dr. Sloan was in color outside the booth's window. Everything inside the booth was in black & white. Rob Petrie was also looking as young as he did more than thirty years before (even longer, considering that particular episode was a flashback to before his tenure on 'The Alan Brady Show'.) It was also a scene that, unlike most of the others used in this project, didn't lend itself to being repeated dialogue. It was the type of scene that should have played itself out that one times back in the late 1950s and that's it. So I'm thinking it had to be something caused by some paranormal activity, perhaps a continuation of the radio transmission experiment carried out in 'The Galaxy Being', the first episode of 'The Outer Limits'. But this time, instead of beaming an alien from its homeworld to Earth, the holographic image of Rob Petrie was trasmitted across the country. (This could also have been achieved by some kind of meteorological phenomenon.) And then there's always the more realistic splainin - poor old Dr. Sloan was hallucinating, perhaps the first sign of dementia in his old age."
2002--DIAGNOSIS MURDER: TOWN WITHOUT PITY--Dr. Mark Sloan and his son Steve go to the desert to learn the fate of Mark's daughter and her new husband.
2002--DIAGNOSIS MURDER: WITHOUT WARNING--Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) reprises his role as the crime solving doctor in this tv movie based on the television series. When a large group of Mexican workers are infected with a deadly virus, Dr. Sloan and his friends must figure out the cause and cure for it before it's too late.
February 2004--DIAGNOSIS MURDER--"The Death Merchant"--Two of the characters in The Death Merchant later reappeared in Lee Goldberg's series of novels based on the television series Monk :
Lt. Ben Keoloha appears in Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii as the Kauai police lieutenant that Adrian Monk and Natalie Teeger assist in solving several unsolved cases on the island.Ian Ludlow appears in Mr. Monk and the Two Assistants as the private consultant for the Los Angeles Police Department. In the course of that novel, Ludlow frames several people such as Natalie, Monk's first assistant Sharona Fleming, and Sharona's ex-husband Trevor Howe, for a series of bizarre murders. But later on Monk proves that Ludlow committed all the crimes himself.
September 22, 2004--LOST--"Pilot"--An Oceanic Airlines plane disappears, in reality crashing into a desert island. Oceanic is one of those fictional companies that gets used a lot making crossover connections. It has been used in JAG, ALIAS, EXECUTIVE DECISION, CATEGORY 6: DAY OF DESTRUCTION, PANIC IN THE SKIES, CODE 11-14, NOWHERE TO LAND, AFTER THE SUNSET, DIAGNOSIS MURDER, THE WAR AT HOME, HUSTLE, CHUCK, LAX, and TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN VOLUME 2: GENTLEMEN OF THE NIGHT. I'm sure there are others that I will miss. Please feel free to contact me and let me know so I can add them to my next update in six months. It should also be mentioned that at some point in the show, Nozz-a-la Cola is mentioned, which was seen in KINGDOM HOSPITAL. Note that the entire series time on the island up to "There's No Place Like Home" takes place between September 22 - December 31, 2004. For a full timeline, see http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline:December_2004.
[image error]
May 2007--LOST--"Through the Looking Glass"--Toby has found us another connection between Lost and Diagnosis Murder which you can read here.
November 2010--BIG BANG THEORY--"The 21-Second Excitation"--From James Bojaciuk: Another Big Bang Theory crossover. In "The 21-Second Excitation," Sheldon and the gang break into a movie theater to steal a limited edition cut of Raiders of the Lost Ark. One of the posters advertises Tuttle Meets the Mummy. In an episode of Diagnosis Murder, Adam West played Tuttle, one half of the television crime fighting duo Tuttle and the Mummy. It gets weirder. In the classic Stooge short "We Want Our Mummy," the boys were dispatched to find the missing Professor Tuttle (and, along the way, the lost King Rutentuten). Perhaps Rutentuten and the Professors descendants were active crimefighters, much like the Batmen and their Robins. It is a tale lost to the sands of time.
Final Notes: There was some crossovery stuff that just wasn't able to work as canon. Check out the TVCU Facebook forum for more.

Save the Cheerleader...
It's weird it took me so long to get to this series. It's actually pretty significant to the TVCU.
First off, I often blame Hiro Nakamura for any continuity errors and changing canon within the main TVCU timeline. He messes up the timeline a lot, and so it's only natural to blame him.
Second, I often site Heroes as an example of how super-heroes exist within the TVCU. They usually operate in secret.
Another is the fact that there is a guy who writes comics about the characters in the show, and the guy writing the comics is a character in the show. This helps explain other instances when a series is demonstrated to exist in the TVCU and also seems to be a fictional series in the TVCU.
This show also had a lot of cool crossovers.
Heroes Reborn, the revival series, has to take place in the TVCU2, where super-powered beings have gone public. Otherwise, all of the original series can take place in the TVCU's main timeline. The finale of the original series probably was considered by most people to be a hoax, because people in the TVCU are relatively ignorant and stupid when faced with things that are beyond their normal expectation of reality. The fictional president seen in the series should be considered a stand in for the real president. And all the future timelines seen are all formerly possible future timelines of the main TVCU (or TVCU2 for Heroes Reborn.)
One of us, one of them.

2589 B.C. to September 20, 2006--Click here for a detailed timeline of the events related to HEROES that happened prior the the eclipse in the pilot episode of HEROES.
[image error]
1943--BATMAN--Prince Daka plots to turn American scientists into zombies. Prince Daka had previously fought the ALL-STAR SQUADRON. The All-Star Squadron has a crossover with Indiana Jones and Metropolis, thus it is in, and then that brings in the Batman serials. Note that even though the All-Stars were in, their existence was secret. These heroes operated more in line like other TV heroes as seen in shows like HEROES, GREATEST AMERICAN HERO, SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, BIONIC WOMAN, CHARMED, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, SUPERNATURAL, etc.
[image error]
April 1, 1951--M*A*S*H--"April Fools"--Potter and B.J. are there even though they don't arrive until next year. Potter tries to keep everyone from playing practical jokes since the camp is being visited by a very serious, no sense of humor, colonel. Note that I've, with no real evidence, started to blame all these types of continuity errors on Hiro Nakumura, the time traveler from HEROES, who is constantly going back and trying to alter time, even though he knows the consequences of doing such.
[image error]
September to December 1986--HEROES--No, not the show from NBC. I came up with it first, so NBC executives, I'm still waiting for a check. In this story, Doctor Deadly has created an alliance between several alien worlds in a plan to invade Earth. Angela, princess of Booer, travels to Earth to warn Powerkid, and they head to Death Planet, Deadly's home, to stop him. Meanwhile, Vonski enlists Zap, Master of Power to assist Powekid, because Powerkid is too bitter after the Crisis to turn to his former teammates for assistance. Also, Deadly's wife, Teela (from Masters of the Universe) comes to Earth to recruit the hero now called Speed Demon who was once Speedy. The three heroes who originally faced Doctor Deadly in 1982 end up working together again against Deadly's forces on Death Planet. Meanwhile, the crew of the Galaxy V commanded by Captain Robert Bossman arrive, having been accidentally transported from the year 3082. (This is a alternate future of a reboot version of Space Patrol called Star Patrol. ) The crew from the future never run into the present day heroes. Eventually, the Star Patrol crew get sent back home, and the other heroes wind up back in Orange, where they are joined by other heroes Fireman and Bob Zan. The combined heroic efforts end up repelling the invasion. The heroes present choose to form a new Heroes of Earth team, realizing the absence of the Powerkid Police almost cost Earth its freedom.
1987--IRON MAN # 217--The Griswolds (note spelling is the same as in Christmas Vacation!) go to Disney Land to find it had been closed for the day by Tony Stark. So in my Hulk/Avengers blog post, I have currently placed the Iron Man movies in the TVCU while the comics are in a divergent timeline. And that could work here, placing this in that divergent timeline. However, after nearly four years of the blog, James and I, along with input from other members of the TVCU Crew, have discussed fine tuning some of the mythos, and I'm in the process of doing so. Not coincidentally, James is working on a post regarding the Crisis, inspired by DC Comics' 1985 attempt to refine their continuity, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. In the revised mythos, the Horror Universe take on super-heroes is being adapted, in which the original Marvel Universe characters of the silver age operated from the 1960s to around 1984, then retired, only occasionally returning to duty in dire emergencies. That would place this story as one of those isolated incidents involving Iron Man after retirement. So what of the Iron Man movies, which had been included in the main TVCU? In our new view on alternate realities, the TVCU is part of a Television Crossover Multiverse. The TVCM is a series of divergent timelines (called Hypertime) that all stem from one singular reality, but likely due to time travel interference, splintered off into parallel universes. Since Ash Williams is in the TVCU, and Marvel places Ash's world as Earth-818993, that means that the TVCU is Earth-818993, and the divergent timelines are part of a Hypertime that is also Earth-818993 in the larger Marvel Multiverse. This theory is arrived at in the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia, and in the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia, it's also demonstrated that the Hypertime of the Horror Universe (aka the TVCU) is likely the same Hypertime of the DC Universe in its post-Crisis era. That was written at a time before I knew that DC had plans to return the pre-Flashpoint DCU in their 30th anniversary Crisis event. DC has now restored their Hypertime concept as canon. But back to Iron Man, if the TVCU is part of the Marvel Multiverse, then the Iron Man movies take place in the same multiverse as the TVCU, in a separate universe designated by Marvel as Earth-199999, or simply the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This means that the Captain America film that references Indiana Jones and the Guardians of the Galaxy movie that references Slither are on Earth-199999. With this chronology, I am redefining the TVCU’s place in the multiverse. I think many of the alternate TV/film versions of DC and Marvel characters are divergent timelines of the TVCU. I believe the TVCM to be a multiverse within a larger megaverse of multiverses which are all part of a larger omniverse. Thus, the DC Megaverse likely contains all previous and current versions of the DC Multiverse and the Marvel Megaverse likely contains all previous and current versions of the Marvel Multiverse, including on-screen versions. And if Marvel ever figures it out, they could still use this to do a Secret Wars movie containing the Avengers, X-Men and Spider-Man. Two final notes. One is that for the TVCU, super-heroes operated in secret, more in line with shows like Buffy, Heroes, or Charmed. Second, previously, I had operated under the premise that everything happens somewhere, and only happens in one reality, but on working on both the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia and the Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia, both meant as parts of the Television Crossover Multiverse, I realized, with a little help from Scooby-Doo, that sometimes it makes more sense for the same stories to possibly have happened in multiple realities. So in the instance of this Iron Man tale, while this singular story takes place in the TVCU without bringing in the entire Iron Man series, it also happens in the Marvel Universe (designated Earth-616) as part of the Iron Man series.

January - February 1999--BATMAN/HELLBOY/STARMAN (DC AND DARK HORSE COMICS)--Crosses: Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. Batman, Hellboy, and Starman must team up against a Neo-Nazi cult trying to raise a Lovecraftian Elder God. Anything that crosses with Lovecraft gets solidly placed in the Television Crossover Universe. Because of this, the Hellboy comics and movies are in the Television Crossover Universe. This Batman should be Bruce Wayne Junior for Television Crossover Universe purposes. He’s a bit more grim and gritty than his father in the role. (Ironically, BJ was also the 1960s Robin, who was pretty lighthearted and full of bad puns. But an incident with the Joker as told in John Byrne’s Generations explains his new attitude.) This also brings in the modern age Jack Knight Starman series. Interestingly, that Starman series by James Robinson kept the same writer throughout and had a beginning and an ending. And though it took place in the DC Universe, which operated under the comic book time where the entire 75 plus years of DC Comics stories happened in the past 5 - 12 years only, the internal Starman timeline had time moving at the same pace as the real world. Jack’s annual visits with his deceased brother happened annually. The Starman series tied into the entire Starman legacy, as well as Phantom Lady, the Shade, the Black Pirate, and the golden age Justice Society of America. I have no problem with bringing in the JSA and these other characters, keeping in mind that that doesn’t mean that every single appearance is canon in the Television Crossover Universe. Basically, the rule for DC and Marvel super-heroes is that if they get included due to a crossover with a television or film series, then only their first appearance and/or origin story gets in as canon, and then whatever stories show up in the Television Crossover Universe (within the book posts and/or the chronologies of this book). The DC and Marvel Universes have very complex mythos regarding their superheroes that don’t work in the Television Crossover Universe. However, they can exist if they had very limited adventures, only operating occasionally, and mostly in secret and out of the public eye. On the other hand, with super-heroes who are created for television or film, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Heroes, the Six-Million Dollar Man, or Automan, I have no problem including all of their stories that didn’t involve crossovers with other characters, and crossovers with other television and film characters. While Starman is not a television or film character, I feel because of the nature of how his story is told, this story can bring in the entire Jack Knight storyline as told by James Robinson, but not all DC Starman stories.
May 1999--AMERICAN PIE--Four male teen virgins make a pact to support each others efforts to lose their virginity by prom night. After almost nailing the hot exchange student Nadia, Jim ends up going to the prom with band geek Michelle, who really surprises him. Oz tries to become a more sensitive guy and joins the chorus, and finds himself falling in love with chorus girl Heather. Kevin already has a girlfriend, and thinks things will be easy for him, but his relationship with Vicky isn't as solid as he thinks. And Finch's plan to spread false rumors about himself fails thanks to a prank by Stifler, but in the end, Stifler will regret the prank when Finch meets Stifler's mom. Note that this film marks the creation of the term MILF, much to the delight of internet pornographers everywhere. Throughout all the American Pie films, the beer of choice is Heisler Beer. This is a fictional beer company that has appeared elsewhere as well, including TRAINING DAY, SUPERBAD, BEERFEST, MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, MY NAME IS EARL, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, THE RECRUIT, THE SHIELD, STEALING HARVARD, BONES, BURN NOTICE, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, DOLLHOUSE, EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS, HAPPY ENDINGS, HEROES, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, NEW GIRL, PRISON BREAK, TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, TWO AND A HALF MEN, VERONICA MARS, WEEDS, WHITE COLLAR and many others. This film came out in 1999. It has a contemporary setting, and takes place in the weeks leading up to prom, thus the timeline placement.

2015 to Present--HEROES REBORN--A year ago, a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas, left the city decimated. Blamed for the tragic event, those with extraordinary abilities are in hiding or on the run from those with nefarious motives. This series takes place in an alternate timeline where super-powered beings are public, which sorta-kinda matches up with other shows I've placed in the TVCU2 timeline.

2387--STAR TREK--Romulus is destroyed, and a villain blames Spock. He chases Spock into the past, but they are shifted to an alternate reality, which I call the TVCU2. This would be the home reality of remakes of original TVCU events. This is the home, for instance, of the remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. So there was not altering of time. They simply shifted to the past of another reality where they were meant to go. The villain appears first, in 2233, where he causes the death of Kirk's father. Note this film has the drink called Slusho, which has also appeared in ALIAS, HEROES, FRINGE, and CLOVERFIELD. Obviously the drink exists in both realities. Those three shows likely happened in both universes. CLOVERFIELD did not happen in the TVCU, but likely did happen in TVCU2. Slusho is also seen in the sequel, STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS.

OTHER ALTERNATE REALITIES
ROBOT CHICKEN UNIVERSE--Of course, an alternate version of HEROES exists here. This universe is demonstrated to exist as a separate reality in the multiverse by Family Guy: Road to the Multiverse.
[image error]
WRONSKIVERSE--The events of the past of Heroes also took place in the Wronskiverse up t o 1979, after which, events greatly diverged with the public debut of Super-Bob. The project that originally was studying those teens who would become the founders of the Company was Project: Franklin.
First off, I often blame Hiro Nakamura for any continuity errors and changing canon within the main TVCU timeline. He messes up the timeline a lot, and so it's only natural to blame him.
Second, I often site Heroes as an example of how super-heroes exist within the TVCU. They usually operate in secret.
Another is the fact that there is a guy who writes comics about the characters in the show, and the guy writing the comics is a character in the show. This helps explain other instances when a series is demonstrated to exist in the TVCU and also seems to be a fictional series in the TVCU.
This show also had a lot of cool crossovers.
Heroes Reborn, the revival series, has to take place in the TVCU2, where super-powered beings have gone public. Otherwise, all of the original series can take place in the TVCU's main timeline. The finale of the original series probably was considered by most people to be a hoax, because people in the TVCU are relatively ignorant and stupid when faced with things that are beyond their normal expectation of reality. The fictional president seen in the series should be considered a stand in for the real president. And all the future timelines seen are all formerly possible future timelines of the main TVCU (or TVCU2 for Heroes Reborn.)
One of us, one of them.

1943--BATMAN--Prince Daka plots to turn American scientists into zombies. Prince Daka had previously fought the ALL-STAR SQUADRON. The All-Star Squadron has a crossover with Indiana Jones and Metropolis, thus it is in, and then that brings in the Batman serials. Note that even though the All-Stars were in, their existence was secret. These heroes operated more in line like other TV heroes as seen in shows like HEROES, GREATEST AMERICAN HERO, SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, BIONIC WOMAN, CHARMED, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, SUPERNATURAL, etc.

April 1, 1951--M*A*S*H--"April Fools"--Potter and B.J. are there even though they don't arrive until next year. Potter tries to keep everyone from playing practical jokes since the camp is being visited by a very serious, no sense of humor, colonel. Note that I've, with no real evidence, started to blame all these types of continuity errors on Hiro Nakumura, the time traveler from HEROES, who is constantly going back and trying to alter time, even though he knows the consequences of doing such.

September to December 1986--HEROES--No, not the show from NBC. I came up with it first, so NBC executives, I'm still waiting for a check. In this story, Doctor Deadly has created an alliance between several alien worlds in a plan to invade Earth. Angela, princess of Booer, travels to Earth to warn Powerkid, and they head to Death Planet, Deadly's home, to stop him. Meanwhile, Vonski enlists Zap, Master of Power to assist Powekid, because Powerkid is too bitter after the Crisis to turn to his former teammates for assistance. Also, Deadly's wife, Teela (from Masters of the Universe) comes to Earth to recruit the hero now called Speed Demon who was once Speedy. The three heroes who originally faced Doctor Deadly in 1982 end up working together again against Deadly's forces on Death Planet. Meanwhile, the crew of the Galaxy V commanded by Captain Robert Bossman arrive, having been accidentally transported from the year 3082. (This is a alternate future of a reboot version of Space Patrol called Star Patrol. ) The crew from the future never run into the present day heroes. Eventually, the Star Patrol crew get sent back home, and the other heroes wind up back in Orange, where they are joined by other heroes Fireman and Bob Zan. The combined heroic efforts end up repelling the invasion. The heroes present choose to form a new Heroes of Earth team, realizing the absence of the Powerkid Police almost cost Earth its freedom.
1987--IRON MAN # 217--The Griswolds (note spelling is the same as in Christmas Vacation!) go to Disney Land to find it had been closed for the day by Tony Stark. So in my Hulk/Avengers blog post, I have currently placed the Iron Man movies in the TVCU while the comics are in a divergent timeline. And that could work here, placing this in that divergent timeline. However, after nearly four years of the blog, James and I, along with input from other members of the TVCU Crew, have discussed fine tuning some of the mythos, and I'm in the process of doing so. Not coincidentally, James is working on a post regarding the Crisis, inspired by DC Comics' 1985 attempt to refine their continuity, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. In the revised mythos, the Horror Universe take on super-heroes is being adapted, in which the original Marvel Universe characters of the silver age operated from the 1960s to around 1984, then retired, only occasionally returning to duty in dire emergencies. That would place this story as one of those isolated incidents involving Iron Man after retirement. So what of the Iron Man movies, which had been included in the main TVCU? In our new view on alternate realities, the TVCU is part of a Television Crossover Multiverse. The TVCM is a series of divergent timelines (called Hypertime) that all stem from one singular reality, but likely due to time travel interference, splintered off into parallel universes. Since Ash Williams is in the TVCU, and Marvel places Ash's world as Earth-818993, that means that the TVCU is Earth-818993, and the divergent timelines are part of a Hypertime that is also Earth-818993 in the larger Marvel Multiverse. This theory is arrived at in the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia, and in the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia, it's also demonstrated that the Hypertime of the Horror Universe (aka the TVCU) is likely the same Hypertime of the DC Universe in its post-Crisis era. That was written at a time before I knew that DC had plans to return the pre-Flashpoint DCU in their 30th anniversary Crisis event. DC has now restored their Hypertime concept as canon. But back to Iron Man, if the TVCU is part of the Marvel Multiverse, then the Iron Man movies take place in the same multiverse as the TVCU, in a separate universe designated by Marvel as Earth-199999, or simply the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This means that the Captain America film that references Indiana Jones and the Guardians of the Galaxy movie that references Slither are on Earth-199999. With this chronology, I am redefining the TVCU’s place in the multiverse. I think many of the alternate TV/film versions of DC and Marvel characters are divergent timelines of the TVCU. I believe the TVCM to be a multiverse within a larger megaverse of multiverses which are all part of a larger omniverse. Thus, the DC Megaverse likely contains all previous and current versions of the DC Multiverse and the Marvel Megaverse likely contains all previous and current versions of the Marvel Multiverse, including on-screen versions. And if Marvel ever figures it out, they could still use this to do a Secret Wars movie containing the Avengers, X-Men and Spider-Man. Two final notes. One is that for the TVCU, super-heroes operated in secret, more in line with shows like Buffy, Heroes, or Charmed. Second, previously, I had operated under the premise that everything happens somewhere, and only happens in one reality, but on working on both the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia and the Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia, both meant as parts of the Television Crossover Multiverse, I realized, with a little help from Scooby-Doo, that sometimes it makes more sense for the same stories to possibly have happened in multiple realities. So in the instance of this Iron Man tale, while this singular story takes place in the TVCU without bringing in the entire Iron Man series, it also happens in the Marvel Universe (designated Earth-616) as part of the Iron Man series.

January - February 1999--BATMAN/HELLBOY/STARMAN (DC AND DARK HORSE COMICS)--Crosses: Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. Batman, Hellboy, and Starman must team up against a Neo-Nazi cult trying to raise a Lovecraftian Elder God. Anything that crosses with Lovecraft gets solidly placed in the Television Crossover Universe. Because of this, the Hellboy comics and movies are in the Television Crossover Universe. This Batman should be Bruce Wayne Junior for Television Crossover Universe purposes. He’s a bit more grim and gritty than his father in the role. (Ironically, BJ was also the 1960s Robin, who was pretty lighthearted and full of bad puns. But an incident with the Joker as told in John Byrne’s Generations explains his new attitude.) This also brings in the modern age Jack Knight Starman series. Interestingly, that Starman series by James Robinson kept the same writer throughout and had a beginning and an ending. And though it took place in the DC Universe, which operated under the comic book time where the entire 75 plus years of DC Comics stories happened in the past 5 - 12 years only, the internal Starman timeline had time moving at the same pace as the real world. Jack’s annual visits with his deceased brother happened annually. The Starman series tied into the entire Starman legacy, as well as Phantom Lady, the Shade, the Black Pirate, and the golden age Justice Society of America. I have no problem with bringing in the JSA and these other characters, keeping in mind that that doesn’t mean that every single appearance is canon in the Television Crossover Universe. Basically, the rule for DC and Marvel super-heroes is that if they get included due to a crossover with a television or film series, then only their first appearance and/or origin story gets in as canon, and then whatever stories show up in the Television Crossover Universe (within the book posts and/or the chronologies of this book). The DC and Marvel Universes have very complex mythos regarding their superheroes that don’t work in the Television Crossover Universe. However, they can exist if they had very limited adventures, only operating occasionally, and mostly in secret and out of the public eye. On the other hand, with super-heroes who are created for television or film, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Heroes, the Six-Million Dollar Man, or Automan, I have no problem including all of their stories that didn’t involve crossovers with other characters, and crossovers with other television and film characters. While Starman is not a television or film character, I feel because of the nature of how his story is told, this story can bring in the entire Jack Knight storyline as told by James Robinson, but not all DC Starman stories.

TVCU Scare-A-Con Presentation
Hello, I'm Robert E. Wronski, Jr., author of the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia and host/executive producer of the Television Crossover Universe Podcast.
One of the hinderences in marketing the Television Crossover Universe brand and franchise, including the books and podcast, is an absence at relevant fan conventions.
We have been fortunate enough to be invited guests at the upcoming Scare-A-Con, being held June 3 - 5 at the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield, MA.
I'm seeking funds so that we can put forth the best presentation possible to market ourselves to the audience at the convention. This convention is a local convention to where I live, so it's very important to be present to get my name and my projects out there to a wide audience.
The convention is June 3 - 5, so I would need to raise those funds before then. I'm asking for quite a bit of money in the stated goal, which is calculated on the exact needs to have an outstanding visual presentation at the con. However, even the smallest donations will help us to improve our visual appearance at the con.
I know I do a lot of crowdfunding for my work, and I appreciate every donation I recieve, and I fully understand those who support me in spirit but can't support financially. I'm grateful for every person who is behind me and my time in any way.
It's an honor to be invited as guests at this huge convention, and just being present will likely increase our listenership for the podcast, but also help us hosts who are also authors and publishers sell more books.
