 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 ...

I was going to put this all in the top of the Die Hard post, but then I thought, if you're clicking on Die Hard, you want to read about Die Hard.  So here's some announcements.... January 10 we are celebrating the 8th anniversary of this website.  I don't have anything special planned this year.  This past year was a tough year for me, and I'm just starting to really get back into my routine.  But also, this November is actually the 40th anniversary of Super Entertainment.  Started in 1979 as a fake comic book company, and the umbrella for everything I wrote (starting when I was six years old), when this website was created, Super Comics turned into Super Entertainment and became a real thing that puts out real things, for instance, this website, the Television Crossover Universe book series, which started with Television Crossover Universe:  Worlds and Mythology Volume I, and two podcasts, the Television Crossover Universe Podcast, and Super Entertai...

From Chris Nigro: THE EXPERIMENT Linear Horror Anthology -- The fourth in the quartet of initial books released by Wild Hunt Press for Halloween is now available for pre-order i n digital format for just $2.99! And the print edition is coming soon! This multi-author anthology of strongly interconnected tales is the brainchild of  Zach Cole , the author responsible for the series of books featuring Jeremy Walker, werewolf monster hunter (beginning with BLUE MOON) and the Marugrah kaiju novels (beginning with KAIJU EPOCH) before combining them into a single series (in fact, Wild Hunt Press's next release will be the latest in Zach's Jeremy Walker/ Marugrah series, THE TITANS' CHILDREN -- watch for it!). THE EXPERIMENT deals with the infamous Area 51 and the black ops biological experiments being conducted there. One of the most nefarious of these secret programs, Project Hydra, goes horribly awry when its six bioengineered monstrosities -- all unique and uniquely...

CENTURION: DARK GENESIS Novel by Wild Hunt Press -- The third of Wild Hunt Press's four projected Halloween releases is now available for pre-order in digital!  Like the others, a print edition will be available soon! This is my second released superhero novel intended to be the first in a series, this one focusing on Centurion, another troubled rookie teen hero native to Buffalo, New York and part of Chris Nigro's shared superhero timeline, the Warp Event Universe. Other than his age and city of location, however, Centurion couldn't possibly be more different than Moonstalker, the featured character in Nigro's other just pre-released superhero novel, MOONSTALKER: A KNIGHT IN BUFFALO. Centurion is a true recipient of fantastic superhuman powers due to being caught directly in the mysterious energies of one of the localized cosmic incidents that the scientific community have labeled Warp Events. His alter-ego, Benny Lonero, always wanted to be a superhero -- the ...

I am pleased to announce that the second of Wild Hunt Press's four planned Halloween releases is now available for pr e-order! This is the first in a series of books featuring the masked teen vigilante hero Moonstalker and taking place in my shared superhero universe, the Warp Event Universe. As you will see, Moonstalker is more of an anti-hero as he engages in a brutal war against the street gangs terrorizing the mean streets of Buffalo, New York's East side, determined to take over the city himself for the "good" of the people under siege. And he isn't exactly fighting alone, considering the several copycat vigilantes who begin emerging in his wake. He'll need their help, since he will have to fight the police in addition to Buffalo's most dangerous street gang and its uber-formidable leader. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JYBPXCG?ref_=pe_3052080_276849420&fbclid=IwAR3s--6dGRQUKhmC7I77l5wYvxRq13FMNbpIZCBy0Z9I1XLUoW-WACnZrYc

We now move from the website contributors to the podcast hosts. When the Television Crossover Universe podcast was launched, the three original three co-hosts were all website contributors.  Thus, the show was hosted by the TVCU Crew.  Not longer after, Chris Nigro became the first co-host to have never contributed the the website, and thus the definition of TVCU Crew membership was expanded. Chris Nigro has been a regular in our discussion forum, and runs several of his own discussion groups and websites.  Chris was a guest on our show and a guest co-host shortly after, and people liked him, and we liked him, so he became a regular. Chris has also written the foreword for Television Crossover Universe:  Worlds and Mythology Volume I . When I presented the idea of these bios to the TVCU Crew, I gave them a short interview questionaire, purely optional.  Here are Chris' answers: 1. My favorite crossover remains the one between Universal's Frank...
