Television Crossover Universe

The Crisis just destroyed the TVCU (Earth-66) and the TVCU-2 (Earth-89).  Well, we're going to have to figure something out going forward.  Looks like the Main TVCU is the Arrowverse now.  Sorry, Lucy, Oliver Queen is the center point now. 

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...

Worlds will live , worlds will die and the Television Crossover Universe will never be the same.

Whenever my father would prank me, he'd say "April Fools, for in July..."  then after I'd say "You got me", he'd laugh and say "April Fool's again.  April Fool's is in April".   Of course, I was like seven.   Anyways, remember That's Our Ralph!?  That was fun.  I had planned on doing another one of those prank posts back in April.  But I got busy.  So April Fools for in July. A Day Late... is not real, nor is A Dollar Short....  I was channeling those teen comedies of my youth, the ones I probably shouldn't have been allowed to watch but was anyways.   Those film photos are stock footage I found in google searches.  Those crossovers don't exist.  

Today I'll be covering my favorite summer camp movie of the 1970s, A Day Late... and it's terrible sequel, A Dollar Short. Summer 1978--A Day Late...--The hijinks of camp counselors who just want to get laid and their campers who have a girls vs. boys prank war. Fall 1978--A Dollar Short...--Billy, one of the counselors from the first film, is back home and back to school.  When his bike accidentally scratches the car of the school bully, he has 24 hours to raise the money or get a pounding.  Hilarity is supposed to ensue.  Note that this movie was originally meant to be titled "A Bird in the Hand...." with the phrase being warped into a euphemism for masturbation, thus why the term is used repeatedly and not so subtly throughout the film.  1983--Sleepaway Camp--In A Day Late..., the new camp counselor says he had formerly worked at Camp Arawak.  Among the campers of Camp Weenipekka, there is a rumor that he lost his job after a tragic boating accid...

I'm back on Facebook.  The Facebook group never left and of course remained active thanks to the TVCU Crew, but it's great to be able to reconnect to the Facebook group.  Twitter just wasn't cutting it.  You can join the Facebook discussion by clicking here.  

I'm almost done with the Superman posts.  I promise I'll eventually get back to writing about other stuff, although based on the numbers Google has been reporting to me, you folks seem to be really enjoying the Superman posts. Today I'll be covering the Fleischer Superman animated films.  In the golden age comics, the Fleischer films were shown to be fictional cartoons within the comic book universe, so it doesn't fit into the same reality as the Golden Age Superman of comics and radio.  This version of Superman did appear in a deleted scene for Roger Rabbit, so it does fit into that world. These cartoons are wonderful by the way.  You can find them in the bonus features for Superman the Movie and Superman II, and they also appear in other DVD compilations, plus I believe most of them are also free to watch online on YouTube and other websites. SUPERMAN (KAL-L/CLARK KENT)--Kal-L is alternately spelled  Kal-El. In this Universe, Krypton was a world w...
