Television Crossover Universe

 I've taken another hiatus on the Sci-Fi Multiverse book.  There's a lot of redundencies with the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia, more than I anticipated.  There's a lot of sci-fi/horror crossovers.  I don't want to repeat myself but I also want to be all-inclusive.  This has left me frustrated and ready to abandon the project altogether.  My previous venture, Cartoon Multiverse, was abandoned because of my quest to be all-inclusive faced me against Family Guy, where the crossovers never end and I was really sick of watching every Family Guy episode in such minute detail.   So...  I figured I can spend more time on the TVCU blog.  I love the TVCU blog.  Except, I'm running out of ideas.  I think I've covered mostly everything, except for maybe some topics I don't have enough familiarity with to cover.  I know there's a lot of anime crossovers, which I would have gotten to in Cartoon Multiverse, but I'm really not that famil...

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 it's tradition for the TVCU to have a Christmas post, and it's tradition for it to be posted late. In previous years, Gordon Long covered the Rankin-Bass Christmas specials, and then I have covered Santa Claus, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, the Grinch, and a Christmas Story.  (Am I missing some?  I guess we went two years where we didn't do Christmas posts....) So I wasn't sure if I was going to do one this year, but I apparently set a calendar reminder, and then I wasn't sure what to cover, but the past two years I've been using a list of the top 100 Christmas movies to watch Christmas movie marathons, and Die Hard was listed as the number 2 Christmas film on the list after It's a Wonderful Life, and I thought Die Hard would be fun to cover. So here's Die Hard.  More crossover connections than you'd expect. Using Movie Timelines, a youtube series I've fallen in love with, for some dates.  If you are a timeline junki...
