FDR

Continuing our series on U.S. Presidents as they exist in the Television Crossover Universe, we cover this time World War II's President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. January 30, 1882--Birth of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. 1903--Franklin Roosevelt graduates from Harvard College. 1903--ANOTHER PERIOD--"Roosevelt"-- The Roosevelts are invited to Bellacourt Manor by the Commodore, who hopes to convince Teddy to tap Frederick as his vice-president, while Lillian sets out to woo Frankiln, and Beatrice bonds with Eleanor. Also: The servants go on strike, much to Peepers' dismay.  There are no crossovers, but I really love this show.  Franklin later appears again in "Lillian's Wedding". 1905--Franklin marries Eleanor.  (Should Eleanor have her own post?  Should I expand this post to include more information about Eleanor's TVCU counterpart?  She is one of the more famous and historically significant First Ladies in fiction.)
