TVXOHOF, 03/2014 - JOHN STAMOS

"PERFECT WORLD"

[DANNON OIKOS GREEK YOGURT]

In this Dannon Greek Yogurt commercial, two women thought that in a perfect world, all men would look like John Stamos.

So what happened?  There was a flash of light and suddenly every man on the street became John Stamos.

To me, it means one of those women had to be a witch with the ability to transform or metamorph the physical appearance of a human being.

(And I think only one of them was a witch; the other would be the best friend in whom she confides - classic sitcom trope!)

But here's the thing: those women talked about a perfect world in which every man looked like John Stamos.  So even though we only saw the thirty or so men on the street, every guy out there just out of camera range that day - including my own televersion! - looked like Stamos.

Like Howard Beechcroft and the Master before him, this qualifies John Stamos for the TV Crossover Hall Of Fame.  That's because for the duration of that spell, everybody around the Toobworld globe was the televersion of John Stamos.

Like who?

'DON MATTEO'                   'INSPECTOR LEWIS'

'DOC MARTIN'                    'THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E'

'BECK'                                 'WALLANDER'

BRUCE WAYNE AKA 'BATMAN' (retired)              

Here are some others who were John Stamos for less than a minute:

DR. DEREK "McDREAMY" SHEPARD

'GREY'S ANATOMY'

ROBERT "BOBBY" MUNSON

'SONS OF ANARCHY'

DETECTIVE JOHN MUNCH

'LAW & ORDER: SVU'

(It's a shame the picture somehow got cropped - a-henh!  You would have seen that Detective Eliot Stabler also looked like John Stamos.  Really.)

RAY DRECKER

'HUNG'

'WALTER WHITE'

"BREAKING BAD"

(Sampling the meth....)

NAPOLEON SOLO

'THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.'

JACK McFARLAND

'WILL & GRACE'

MITCH BUCHANNON

'BAYWATCH'

AN OBSERVER

'FRINGE'

HOWARD STERN

'THE HOWARD STERN SHOW'

(This spell would have even affected the League of Themselves!)

THE DOCTOR

(UNKNOWN INCARNATION)

'DOCTOR WHO'

DON DRAPER/DICK WHITMAN

'MAD MEN'

(This only works if Draper survives the 1960s and that's looking dicey at present.  But if he does he could still be alive in 2013, albeit very old....)

I have no idea what effect this magic spell would have had on those Toobworldlings who already resembled John Stamos somewhat - like Jesse Katsopolis, Blackie Parrish, Matt Willows, Jake Phillips, Connor McClane, Gino Minnelli, and Dr. Tony Gates, among others.

It's really not so much a tradition, but if I'm going to induct a member of the League of themselves into the TV Crossover Hall Of Fame, I do prefer that it happen in March.  (It just feels like the right month to do so, and besides - every other month is booked!)  And so now's as good a time as any to have John Stamos join the team.

Based on one commercial with a storyline that lasted less than one minute, but combining so many shows.  What I say goes!

BCnU!
