Crisis in Riverdale

A while back I did a blog on JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS, which led to a flood of comments on THE CROSSOVERS FORUM, especially from James and Ivan, my Spock and Bones, on theories regarding Archie.  Not all the theories presented worked together, but I spent a long time taking everything into account and have hopefully come up with something that has taken the best elements of everyone's ideas. Perhaps once I write this blog, I'll have the cartoon/comic writing out of my system for a while, and I can tackle another sitcom or cop drama. NOTE THAT THE INFORMATION IN THIS BLOG WILL SUPERSEDE THE JOSIE BLOG.  I PLAN ON UPDATING THE JOSIE BLOG, AND WILL BE DOING A SEPARATE SABRINA BLOG AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 52,000 B.C.--ARCHIE 1-- Thousands of years before recorded history, the ancestors Archie and the gang live as  cavemen , interacting with  dinosaurs  and other

By covering this completely not serious animated series, I will take a very serious look at the cartoon reality.  But first, let's take a look at the characters.

As a fetus, he was aborted, and blasted to Earth.  He was found by Popeye and Olive Oyle, who named him Popeye Junior, but usually called him Swee'Pea.  As a teen, he moved from Sweet Haven to Small Town.  As an adult, his power developed, and he changed his name to Captain Leslie Hero (and a secret identity of Tim Tommerson).  He was a member of the League

Pass the Pizza: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the TVCU

THE TELEVISION CROSSOVER CROSSOVER UNIVERSE  LAUNCHED JANUARY 10, 2011 CELEBRATING FOUR YEARS  I have a policy.  I may retcon my posts over and over, but if another member of the TVCU Crew posts something, it's canon, and I won't mess with it.   And thus, here is an example.  When the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia was published, I started incorporating the Horror Universe into the Television Crossover Universe.  For the most part, the TVCU and Horror Universe are one and the same.  For the most part... They must, though, not truly be the same, but slightly divergent timelines.  This wonderful post by James Bojaciuk, so wonderful it's our # 5 all-time most viewed post, establishes the 1980s animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as being the TVCU version of the Turtles, while all other versions exist in the Television Crossover Multiverse. Meanwhile, because the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia uses a different start point and different methodology for connecting, in the
