Television Crossover Universe

Every Christmas I post something holiday related.  This Christmas I intended to cover the Grinch, particularly since I'm also currently working on Cartoon Multiverse:  The Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia, but my schedule has been so full that I just haven't had the time. So Merry Belated Christmas!   Earlier than somethings but later than others--HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (LIVE ACTION)-- In the live action film, the Grinch was delivered via storks dropping off kids via balloons. The Grinch was diverted from his original destination as a baby and raised by a Who couple.   His hatred of Whos came from being raised among people who didn't like him because he was different.

Donny, spots Kim in the audience, and he falls in love at first sight. Kim believes the flowers and letters are for Patricia, but soon discovers the mix-up. Realizing Donny volunteered to perform at Kim's Charity function because of the mix-up, Kim feels obligated to set the record straight. 1976 to 1979--The era of the Don...

Notes:   The prehistoric ancestor is also named Johnny Bravo, and acts just like our Johnny, but it’s made clear from the episode this is Johnny’s prehistoric ancestor, not a contemporary Johnny in Bedrock.   1912 to Present--Santa has appeared on screen since 1912, in over a thousand films and television shows. Not all are TVCU canon. Of those that are, some are of the “real” Santa and some are just a man in the suit, but it’s a TVCU concept...
