LEAGUE OF THEMSELVES - SEAN PENN



SEAN PENN

AS SEEN IN:
'Ellen'
"Emma"

O'BSERVATIONS:
Emma Thompson was not the only one with a big personal secret in this episode.  Penn's another televersion who's totally different from the original.

Sean Penn's appearance in this episode links 'Ellen' to 'Two And A Half Men'.

LEAGUE OF THEMSELVES - CLINT EASTWOOD



CLINT EASTWOOD

AS SEEN IN:
'Mr. Ed'
"Clint Eastwood Meets Mr. Ed"



O'BSERVATION:
'Rawhide' is mentioned as Clint Eastwood's TV show, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the same show as seen in the real world.  But then again, it could be an historical recreation of the life of Rowdy Yates.

BLIPVERTS - ROY ROGERS & PAT BRADY


It's time to pay the bills.....



SANTA CLAUS 2013



The late great Charles Durning is the official portrayal of Santa Claus in the main Toobworld, having played the role five times:
  • Boyfriend for Christmas, A (2004)
  • Mr. St. Nick (2002)
  • Mrs. Santa Claus (1996)
  • Elmo Saves Christmas (1996) 
  • It Nearly Wasn't Christmas (1989)
But even though Durning passed away in 2012, I think there's a new production n which I'm going to claim it's Durning's Santa.

All we see of Santa Claus in an early Mercedes Benz commercial for this year is his arm waving out the window of the car.  So who else could it be in Toobworld and still be the official televersion of Santa?


(Since that first blipvert, Mercedes Benz has come out with several more ads in which Santa Claus can now be seen.  However, I'm just going to toss those over to other Toobworlds - both the naughty and the nice ones....)
