Teen Nick

So I did Disney, so now it's time for Nick.

January 1989--MAMA'S FAMILY--"Full House"--This episode reference FULL HOUSE.  There are a log of Full House zonks to deal with in the TVCU. One might consider that Danny was a talk show host in San Francisco, Joey was a stand-up comedian, and Jessie was a professional musician.  So between the three of them, they could have had enough moderate success that perhaps their unusual family dynamic became well known.  Perhaps Wake UP San Francisco had a recurring segment on the show called "Full House" about the family's adventures. It wasn't unusual for the family to show up on the show.  So between the three semi-famous careers of the men of the house, this could perhaps cover the zonks.  Other shows that have had Full House zonks include:  CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL, HOME IMPROVEMENT, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW, BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD, BOY MEETS WORLD, THE CRITIC, THE NANNY, SOUTH PARK, LEISURE SUIT LARRY, ENTOURAGE, CHARMED, GILMORE GIRLS, HANNAH MONTANA, THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD, ICARLY, FAMILY GUY, GETAWAY, GREEK, THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC, THE CINEMA SNOB, LAST MAN STANDING, AMERICAN DAD!, I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER, HOUSE M.D., GLEE, KENDRA ON TOP, NEW GIRL, STUDIO C, THE SIMPSONS, JAMES & MIKE PLAY, WORKAHOLICS, ACTION, and ROSEANNE.

March 1992--PARKER LEWIS CAN'T LOSE--"When Jerry Met Shelly"--Shelly has a Steve Urkel doll, supporting the notion that Urkel being a super-genius has made him a public figure. Other shows that mention Family Matters or Steve Urkel are BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, HANGIN' WITH MR. COOPER, THE SIMPSONS, MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, FRIENDS, THE CRITIC, THE NANNY, MOESHA, KENAN & KEL, NEWSRADIO, SOUTH PARK, ACTION, ER, GILMORE GIRLS, MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, LEISURE SUIT LARRY, VERONICA MARS, NCIS, AMERICAN DAD!, FAMILY GUY, PSYCH, 30 ROCK, THE IRATE GAMER, THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD, THE OFFICE, THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC, COMMUNITY, THE CLEVELAND SHOW, HELLCATS, SUPERNATURAL, THE GOOD GUYS, PARKS AND RECREATION, WORKAHOLICS, BETTER WITH YOU, NEW GIRL, BRICKLEBERRY, CINEMA SNOB, SUBURGATORY, and FLASH FORWARD.



1994 to 2005--ALL THAT--The first Nick show created by Dan Schneider.  Dan Schneider links all his shows together by characters, fictional products, trends, slang, and other references.  Click here for more on the links between the shows in his world, which is part of the larger TVCU.  All of the shows linked by Dan Schneider's various crossover methods are All That, The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious, and Sam & Cat.  Penelope Taynt, played by Amanda Bynes, is a celebrity stalker that appeared on All That and the Amanda Show, as part of the sketches that featured cast members playing themselves in "backstage" segments.



1996 to 2000--KENAN & KEL--Spin-off of All That.



1997--GOOD BURGER--This movie is a spin-off of a sketch from All That.

1998 to 2001--COUSIN SKEETER--A boy's life is changed when his cousin moves in, who happens to be a puppet.

1999 to 2015--THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART--We've already established the Daily Show with Jon Stewart as part of the TVCU. As a fake news show, it borders between fiction and reality. It off course spun off the Colbert Report and the Nightly Show. It has had fictional characters from other series appear on the show, treated as being real. Additionally, Jon Stewart has appeared as himself in Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Mr. Show, the Larry Sanders Show, Dr. Katz, American Dad, Evan Almighty, The Simpsons, The Great Buck Howard, The Adjustment Bureau, The Beaver, and Big Time Rush. The Daily Show and the Colbert Report also did a crossover event with Conan. Stewart has also appeared as himself on various Muppet related projects, Saturday Night Live, WWE Wrestling, and numerous talk shows, award shows, news programs, and other specials.

January 2004--DRAKE & JOSH--"Dune Buggy"--An episode of the Amanda Show is on in the background.  The Amanda Show is a sketch comedy, but the Amanda Show is a fictional show within a show as well, sort of how Saturday Night Live has fictional sketches featuring cast members as themselves on the show.  Thus on the Amanda Show, Amanda Bynes plays a fictional version of herself who plays other fictional sketch characters.  (Ow, my brain hurts now.)

November 2004--DRAKE & JOSH--"Honor Council"--Addie Singer from Unfabulous appears.

Meanwhile Drake and Josh's parents leave to go on a ten-day cruise, leaving Drake and Josh in charge.

Her brothers find out the mistake and follow her on another plane. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, Megan uses her parents' credit card to order a limousine to take her to an expensive hotel and book a presidential suite. Before finding out, however, the brothers wait to see Megan's plane take off. When the brothers arrive in Los Angeles, they go out to find their sister and get her to Denver. At this moment, several criminals enter the suite and attempt to take the G-O. It's up to Drake and Josh to foil the bad guys, and get to the TRL studio in time.

August 2007--DRAKE & JOSH--"The Really Big Shrimp"--A flashback from The Amanda Show is used when Drake and Josh were fighting over the shrimp thrown by Penelope and Barney. This was intended as the series finale, but the final three episodes did not air in order.

February 2011--BIG TIME RUSH--"Big Time Beach Party"--Patchy the Pirate (from the live action segments of Spongebob Squarepants) appears.  You know, the "Are you ready kids?" guy.  Those have been shown to exist within the same world as Spongebob, so Spongebob does exist in the TVCU.  This connects to Nicktoons (Spongebob Squarepants, Jimmy Neutron, Planet Sheen, The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, and Back at the Barnyard), implying that all those cartoons are part of the TVCU.  I cover Spongebob in a separate post.  For more on Nicktoons, you'll have to await the release of the Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia, in progress.  

March 2011--ICARLY--"iPity the Nevel"--Perhaps not the first appearance of Pear Products, but in the "fun facts" for this episode, creator Dan Schneider talks about how Pear Products, the stand-in for Apple, are only owned by the "good guys" on his shows.

March 2012--VICTORIOUS--"April Fools Blank"--Mr. Belding appears, thus creating a solid link between the Disney shows and the Nick shows.  Victorious, as I'll cover in a later blog, of course connects to iCarley and Sam & Cat.   Note that this is a April Fools Day intentional bloopers show, so not everything in this episode is cannon.  For instance, one character walks off of the Victorious set and onto the iCarly set, saying hi to Spencer during this episode, breaking the fourth wall.  Dancing lobsters frequently appear at random throughout the episode

2015 to Present--BELLA AND THE BULLDOGS--The series follows cheerleader Bella Dawson whose life in Texas takes an unexpected twist when she is recruited to become the newquarterback for her school team, the Bulldogs. At first, the rest of the team do not want her as quarterback, but they eventually accept her.

2015 to Present--FRESH BEAT BAND OF SPIES--A group of musical spies (Twist, Kiki, Shout and Marina) solve mysteries and stop evildoers with the help of Commissioner Goldstar, their monkey sidekick Bo, and gadget guy Reed.

November 2015--100 THINGS TO DO BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL--"Survive the Virus Attack Trapped in Your Home Base Station Thing!"--As seen on the owner's manual, the washing machine is made by RCM CBT Globalnet Sanyoid. This is the fictional company that owns the record company in Big Time Rush, also created by Scott Fellows.  IMDB claims that Mr. Matthews on this show has appeared several times before, as seen here.  I doubt the validity of that claim as each Mr. Matthews listed on that page is played by a different actor, over many years, with varying characteristics.  

May 2016--HENRY DANGER--"Danger & Thunder"--A direct crossover with Thundermans.

TVCU 52

TVCU-29-Skitlandia and non-canon commercials. The setting for the Brady Bunch spook sketch from the AMANDA SHOW episode "When Bradys Attack".



WIZARD OF WAZZ--This is the setting of the non-canon episode of Victorious entitled "April Fools' Blank".  Victorious is in the Televison Crossover Universe.  Eventually I will cover the show in a Nick Teen Blog.  But this episode was an April Fool's Day prank that was completely nonsensical.  See the video here.
