Quickie Burgers

 Shout out to Chris Nigro for bringing this one to my attention.  It's a smaller post, and the connections are purely coincidence, but are there coincidences in the TVCU. Quickie Burgers is a fast food franchise akin to McDonald's.  It is an international franchise, dating at least back to the 1970s.  It's probably still in existence in some locations.  Sorry that some of the dates and details are generalized.  It was hard finding information for this one. 1975 - 1984 -- One Day at a Time -- Barbara gets a job at Quickie Burgers and it's not going well.  October 1983 -- Marvel Team-Up # 125 -- Spider-Man and Frog Man stop a robbery at "Kwikkee Burger".  Note the spelling is different.  This variant appears several times in Marvel Comics but this was the first appearance.   1987--Personal Services -- Quickie Burger appears in this British film.   Modern Times into the future--It's been said by publisher Chris Nigro that he ...

The Dawson

 James Van Der Beek has passed away from cancer.  In his honor, I will be covering Dawson's Creek in the TVCU and also James Van Der Book in the TVCU. 1998 - 2003--Dawson's Creek--A soap opera about teen angst.  I remember when this show first came out one of my soldiers was watching it and I made fun of him for it, but later it was on in the mornings in reruns and I got hooked.  The show launched several careers, and was one of the most popular shows of its era.   1999--Muppets from Space--Pacey and Joey are at the beach when aliens arrive.   2000--Scary Movie--Dawson crawls in through the wrong window.   2000--Young Americans--This is a spin-off of Dawson's Creek.  It takes place at a private boys' school.   2001--Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back--James Van Der Beek, the star of a show called Dawson's Creek, is cast in the new Bluntman and Chronic movie.   November 1, 2010--Funny or Die--"Van Der Week:  Behi...

Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?

 In the past, I've covered other series in the Scooby-Doo Multiverse, which seems to mostly align with the DC Multiverse. Today I'm going to cover Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, which seems to align with the DC Animated Universe, or Earth-12.   June 27, 2019--"Revenge of the Swamp Monster!"--In the tradition of the New Scooby-Doo Movies, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? features guests who are both real life celebs and fictional characters.  This one features Houston Rockets basketball player Chris Paul.  I'm just going to say while the New Scooby-Doo Movies was a who's who of who was famous in the 70s, this series kind of goes for, "Well, who's available and needs some money?" July 2, 2019--"A Mystery Solving Gang Divided"--This one guest stars the Funky Phantom.  The Funky Phantom previously appeared in Scooby-Doo:  Mystery Incorporated, but that was a separate continuity.   July 11, 2019--"Peeble's Pet Shop of Terrible Terrors!"--...
