Television Crossover Universe

Hi, Folks. I thought I'd share with you whatever happened to the follow up Crossover Encyclopedias. As you may remember, I decided to tackle cartoons next, with a future look towards tackling Sci-Fi, then doing a HCE 2. The cartoons drove me mad. Horror was so easy. Most things worked within a single continuity, only ocassionally having to reconcile or shift to an  AU. But cartoons are so bad at continuity. Even within a series. And crossovers are so iffy within cartoons. Is Mickey Mouse an evil corporate monster? Are Disney princesses in alternate worlds or do they all hang out in Toon Town? I tried tackling it in so many different methods, while trying to maintain the standard of the horror book. It was just impossible. I hate Family Guy now. I really, really hate it. So I've decided that soon I'm launching a series of TVCU books regarding classic television, using my original TVCU post format, and I will instead do a similar project for classic cartoons. I've decided...

So now that I'm back to seriously writing, I've put a lot of thought into Cartoon Multiverse (the new tentative title for the Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia) and have decided I can't write it like the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia. So I'm starting over. I mean, not completely. I have 154 pages of stuff written that slightly edited will be reused, but I think I need to take a very different approach. So I'm very excited about this. And this reminds me that when I started the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia (which started off as the Horror Crossover Universe), I tried a different approach which I also had to scrap and start over. So one thing that's different is that there will be no criteria to be included other than there is a crossover. In the last book, I had a starting point and used a six degrees methodology. Nothing could be included unless it could connect back to the start point, in an effort to make everything fit in one universe. This book is cal...

I haven't worked on the Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia in a while, as my schedule has been pretty full with other things taking priority. But it is still in progress. However, I've decided that I will be taking a bit of a different approach to the Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia rather than following the exact same format I used for the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia. So I'm going to be reworking the stuff I've already written before proceeding. One of the differences is th at I will not be trying to force all the crossovers into one shared reality. The nature of animated series is far different than what I previously worked on for the HCE or even with the live action TVCU, that I have to shape it as a multiverse of realities with constantly changing timelines and varied realities that merge and unmerge. So there's that challenge. The other thing I'll be doing is that I won't be just placing entries in chronological order, but further breaking it down by categ...

There are also parody appearances of Scooby-Doo in such shows as Drawn Together, Harvey Birdman, Family Guy and Robot Chicken, which draw from the original Saturday morning cartoons but include more adult themes. I don't consider those part of the original Scooby-Prime timeline. I do reference those crossovers in other blog posts on this website and in the upcoming Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia. But since Harvey Birdman was the only one of those parodies listed above not to have a blog post... 1849--THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND HUCKLEBERRY HOUND-- It's the gold rush era in the Wild West. A mysterious stranger (Huckleberry Hound) arrives in a small desert town carrying a huge golden nugget. The notorious Dalton brothers steal it. The town asks "the stranger" to go after them.  I know I've placed western Looney Tunes stories and Quick Draw in the contemporary period even with an old west setting because evidence supports it, but in this case, it's clearly se...
