Television Crossover Universe

 I previously did the Flintstones in my Bongo/Offspring of Zed post, a long time ago, but it wasn't really a Flintstones post.   I was thinking it would be cool to look at the actual timeline of the Flintstones, which breaks down into a few time periods.   Note that the timeline of Bedrock is about 10,000 B.C.  Originally it was one million B.C. but in recent years it's been retconned to 10,000 B.C.  We're going to break down the timeline based on the ages of the characters as depicted in different periods, rather than doing a year by year breakdown. Cave Kids (Not Canon) Cave Kids (1996)--Fred and Barney as pre-schoolers.  This also features Dino, contradicting the original Flintstones series.  This may be in canon with Flinstone Kids but it is not canon with the original series.   Flintstone Kids (Not Canon) The Flintstone Kids (1986 - 1988)--Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty as little kids.  This show kind of contradicts a story...

THE TELEVISION CROSSOVER CROSSOVER UNIVERSE  LAUNCHED JANUARY 10, 2011 CELEBRATING FOUR YEARS  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Writers wanted for TVCU Crew: The Next Generation. As the TVCU enters its fourth year, many of us have moved onto other projects, while still trying to hold on dearly to our roots in the TVCU. I never want to stop doing the TVCU, despite the books, nor do I want it to become one of those stagnant, dead sites like has happened to so many of my other favorite fan sites. So as I put the call out in 2011 for guest writers and TVCU Crew members, I now do so again. If you are  a fan of the TVCU, and why are you reading this if you aren't, if you have any topic you'd like to tackle, please do so. For those who are already admins on the blog, you of course need no further permission to post, but for anyone else, feel free to submit to me if y...

THE TELEVISION CROSSOVER CROSSOVER UNIVERSE  LAUNCHED JANUARY 10, 2011 CELEBRATING FOUR YEARS This is the final of the anniversary postings, and my favorite of the most recent era of posts.  This was originally written for the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia introduction, but I modified it as an expansion on the methodology that I also talk about in the TVCU's first blog post from January 10, 2011, THE SECRET ORIGIN OF THE TELEVISION CROSSOVER UNIVERSE:  WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT CAME TO BE.  You should read that post, and read this post, as requirements before being able to talk about the TVCU. I hope you enjoyed revisiting with me my favorite posts, our readers' favorites, our oldest, and our newest, with new added reflective introductions.  Now back to writing the books. I promise, though, starting next week, you will start seeing new TVCU Crew Reviews, Quickies, and new full chronologies and updates of older posts.  You can help me out by letting me know...

PAST I've just submitted my first book, the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia, to the publisher.  It's estimated to be released in early to mid October.  It takes a similar approach to this blog, but is focused only on horror and goes into much greater detail than these blog posts usually do.  If you are a fan of posts on this site covering topics like Scooby-Doo!, H.P. Lovecraft, Zombies, or other horror related material, you just might like the book. PRESENT In the next few months, I'll be updating some of the older blog posts here and writing new ones as well. FUTURE I'm already working on the next book.  It's similar to the last one, but instead of horror, I will be writing about cartoons.  I'm shooting for a 2016 release.  If you are a fan of posts on this site covering topics like My Little Pony, Offspring of Zed, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or other animation related material, you just might like the book.  (Note that the Zed theory will...

What's a quickie?   See this blog. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Charlie Brown  is the bald  protagonist  of the  comic strip   Peanuts  by  Charles M. Schulz . Like Schulz, Charlie Brown is the son of a  barber ; but whereas Schulz's work is described as the "most shining example of the American success story", Charlie Brown is an example of "the great American un-success story" in that he fails in almost everything he does. [1] From me: How does Charlie Brown fit?  In the TVCU?  In the Looniverse?  Good grief, I have no idea.  I've been trying to figure this mess out for three years not.   Currently, the TVCU theory is that Charlie Brown exists as part of the Offspring of Zed and the Bongo Anomaly, and thus exists in the TVCU, in one of those zones where the people are unaging and can just as easily travel to the Looniverse.  I'm still not sure if I'm satisfied with this, but the b...
