According to TV Insider and Deadline, another DC Comics superhero will be joining 'Arrow', a show set in Comic Book Toobworld. And the best thing about it is that has televisiological value.
Megalyn Echikunwoke is joining 'Arrow' as Mari Mable, AKA Vixen. According to DC Comics, Mari is an African orphan who had an inherited talent to be mimic any animal.
Here's the interesting part.....
Echikunwoke has already voiced the role in a web series about Vixen. It was animated so it would be situated in the Tooniverse. And the stars of 'Arrow' and 'The Flash', Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin respectively, also voiced their characters in episodes of 'Vixen'.
Once Vixen arrives in 'Arrow', it won't qualify as a crossover. 'Vixen' takes place in the Tooniverse, an alternate dimension, and is just a counterpart to the activities in still another alternate dimension - Comic Book Toobworld.
For alls I know, she'll eventually cross over to 'The Flash', which is very good news for the Television Crossover Hall of Fame. In the month of February, as our celebration of Black History Month, we induct black TV characters who fulfill the requirements. But it's a finite supply, unfortunately. As far as I can see, I have only about six characters or even League of Themselves members left to induct. Vixen would be a welcome inductee once the time came....
It's that time of year again, when we all make lists and think back over the past year, in whatever field of interest concerns us, and chronicle the high points and the lows. For the past few years I've been presenting this compilation as an awards show, the Toobits, which of course celebrates my two bits about Toobworld.
As it is with any such list you'll find in TV columns across the country these last few weeks, these are my opinions. You're welcome to your own and I hope you'll share them, but I'm sticking to my weapons of choice. (It could be you won't see something that was a favorite of yours because I just never got around to seeing it. There's only so much time in the world - even for a do-nothing-else-anyway sort like me! - and I've only got the two eyes, even if they do operate independantly of each other at times.)
Unlike the Emmy Awards which will just keep handing out trophies to some shows forever, only shows, characters and what-not that debuted in 2015 can be considered. (And by "debuted", I mean that which I first came in contact with in 2015. It could be a few years old, but if it's my first time seeing it, it's new.)
This one-time-only rule includes characters who have been recast; those are still the same characters who already exist in Toobworld. (But there were a few notable appearances that deserved honorable mention, and they get it.)
So without further ado, let's have at it:
WORST NEW SERIES TITLE
'Best Time Ever' It would be tough to live up to such a title. And they didn't. BEST EPISODE TITLE
"12 Angry Men Inside Amy Schumer" - 'Inside Amy Schumer'
BEST BINGE-WATCHING EXPERIENCE 'Transparent' I don't count my lunch-hour viewing of other shows on Netflix and Amazon Prime as binge-watchinng. I'm talking about the definition as it was meant to be - one after the other in a single sitting. (I was taking advantage of the free use of Amazon Prime to watch the show after it won the Golden Globes awards.)
WORST CLASH BETWEEN TOOBWORLD & THE REAL WORLD
'The Good Wife' Governor Peter Florrick's campaign to get the Democratic nomination to run for President. It started out with him trying to get considered for Clinton's Veep and that could remain believable. But I think everybody in the viewing audience knows that Florrick isn't even in the running for the nod and yet now the show has him in first place in the Iowa polls. WORST TV EXPERIENCE
Any Republican debate. Take your pick. BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN A SHOW Imported
'Broadchurch' (Second Season) Domestic 'How To Get Away With Murder' (Second Season)
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN A NETWORK
For shame, NBC - for backing down on your stand against Donald Trump appearing on the network in the entertainment division so that you could get him to host an episode of 'Saturday Night Live'. My revulsion at this idea extends to Lorne Michaels for going along with this. I just wish there were cast members brave enough to sit the week out in protest, as Nora Dunn did when Andrew Dice Clay hosted (even if it did damage her remaining time on the show, maybe even her career.) BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE GENERAL AUDIENCE
'Forever' was canceled at the end of its first season back in May. It was too good to deserve that fate. BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN MYSELF
I just couldn't continue with 'Y Gwyll' ("The Hinterland") after seeing the first episode. The problem may have been that I had just seen that same storyline used the night before in the final episode of 'Dicte'. I don't have the same disappointment in myself for not continuing with 'Shetland'. I couldn't even finish the first episode. I like the writer's previous series and I like Doug Henshall, but the series lacked crackle of 'Vera' and Henshall as Perez was not as compelling or interesting as Brenda Blethyn as Vera Stanhope. (The only female detective in Toobworld who could stand against Columbo in comparison.)
BEST CRITIQUE BY AN ONLINE COMMENTER
Ray Brizzi:
If they're not splitting series up the last season into two seasons a year apart, they're making shorter seasons on the others. Where are we, England? Steam came out of my head when i went to watch Better Call Saul this morning.
WORST ANALYSIS BY AN ONLINE COMMENTER
http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-11-21/these-doctor-who-fans-cant-cope-with-evil-david-tennant-in-jessica-jones Fans can't tell the difference between the Tenth Doctor and Killgrave. Just a notch below those people who cant tell the difference between the characters and the actors who play them. BEST O'BSERVATION OF A TV SERIES “Thank you for being my family,” he said. “I love you both and really, nothing else matters, does it?”
And that made it easier to see him go. One look at Harry at that awkward-can't-make-eye-contact stage and how his Father lit up like a Christmas tree, of course he needs to go spend more time with his family. Good for you Dave. Good for your family. It was a perfect ending. - Amy Chen O'Connell (about the last 'Late Show with David Letterman')
BEST TELEVISIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS So this weekend Amanda and I watched the Lifetime movie about the girls in Cleveland who were kidnapped and held hostage for over a decade. They were chained up, raped... I have watched some full on crazy ass messed up movies. This was made for TV and even keeping it safe for TV it was one of the most disturbing movies I've seen. Jumping off from that, I was floored and baffled that someone would choose to buy ad time in this movie for 50 Shades Of Grey. Really???? You want to advertise your movie about the fun of bondage and S&M in a movie about woman facing real degradation and abuse? Classy. - Thomas Holbrook BEST CONTRIBUTION TO TOOBWORLD 'The Librarians' - the Fictionals The splainin of living characters stepping out of BookWorld to become three-dimensional in Toobworld served to bring 'Once Upon A Time' and 'Once A Hero' a reasonable background for why their characters also came from another fictional universe.

BEST SPEECH/MONOLOGUE OVERALL
DRAMA Wilson Fisk: I was thinking about a story from the Bible. I'm not a religious man... but I've read bits and pieces over the years. Curiosity more than faith. But this one story... There was a man. He was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho... when he was set upon by men of ill intent. They stripped the traveler of his clothes, they beat him, and they left him bleeding in the dirt. And a priest happened by... saw the traveler. But he moved to the other side of the road and continued on. And then a Levite, a religious functionary, he... came to the place, saw the dying traveler. But he too moved to the other side of the road, passed him by. But then came a man from Samaria, a Samaritan, a good man. He saw the traveler bleeding in the road and he stopped to aid him without thinking of the circumstance or the difficulty it might bring him. The Samaritan tended to the traveler's wounds, applying oil and wine. And he carried him to an inn, gave him all the money he had for the owner to take care of the traveler, as the Samaritan, he... continued on his journey. He did this simply because the traveler was his neighbor. He loved his city and all the people in it. (sighs deeply) I always thought that I was the Samaritan in that story. It's funny, isn't it? How even the best of men can be... deceived by their true nature.
Guard: What the hell does that mean?
Wilson Fisk: It means that I'm not the Samaritan. That I'm not the priest, or the Levite. That I am the ill intent... who set upon the traveler on a road that he should not have been on.

SITCOM
Senator Gil John Biggs: I decided to play a little hooky today.
I drove down to my hometown of Ruby Shoals, which is right on the shore. Angie, show ’em a bit of where we’re at, go on.
OK, so it was tore up some by Sandy, but you get the general -# Oh, grab a shot of them gulls there. Cute little suckers....
Anyway, being back on this beach reminds me of what a privilege it was to grow up in a place where you could run through tide pools, hunt for sharks’ teeth, blow up crabs with cherry bombs. Man, that’s just good times.
Anywho, Ruby Shoals has always been pretty conservative. Soid Republican. And as Republicans, the thing we believed in most of all was opportunity. Which meant we believed in building stuff to create opportunity. Like roads and schools and power grids.
It was a Republican, Ike, who built our highway system.
And another, Nixon, who created the EPA to protect what we are looking at right now.
As conservatives, we believed in conservin’ and free markets, which is why most of us used to favor cap and trade to fight climate change.
Anyway, that was then. We don’t believe in climate change now. Or any research into it. Same with mandates or infrastructure or background checks or a dozen other things we used to support before we got within pissin’ range of the Tea Party.
I’ve about had it with all that.
Remember the old Gil John Biggs? The one who used to bring home a new clinic or research center or whatnot without apology? Sure, I named ’em after myself, but I don’t mind future generations knowing who invested in ’em.
You remember Coach Biggs? Who made college loans a huge priority because he’d seen how they changed lives.
And remember the guy that never voted to shut down the government or wreck our credit or suppress voting rights or compared people to Hitler?
Remember that guy? He’s back.

BEST ZONK DIALOGUE
'MADAM SECRETARY'
"YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION"
Henry McCord: I'm having a tough time with this. I haven't been sleeping well. Allison McCord: Really? Henry McCord: Yeah.... I've been watching a lot of 'Gunsmoke' in the middle of the night. Allison McCord: What's 'Gunsmoke'? Henry McCord: It's an old TV show, a Western. I liked it as a kid...
Henry McCord: Today I just wanted to go back in Time to our trip to England when touring churches was our thing.
Allison McCord: you should wake me up the next time you watch 'Gunsmoke'. Maybe that could be our thing.
The writer trusted the audience to recognize the title as being for a Western. No mention of it being about Matt Dillon, or that he could have been a fictional character. Any mention of 'Gunsmoke' in any show as a TV show isn't a problem - it would have been an historical recreation of Matt Dillon's tenure as a US Marshal.
WORST ZONK DIALOGUE
'NCIS: LA'
"BLAME IT ON RIO"
Sam Hanna: It's a post-op kit for cosmetic surgery......
Tony DiNozzo: Of course! Michael Long!
Marty Deeks: That's right....
Tony DiNozzo: Lieutenant Michael Arthur Long.
Marty Deeks: He was shot in the face; he was rescued by billionaire Wilton Knight. He was a primary field agent for the Foundation of Law And Government.
Tony DiNozzo: F.L.A.G.
Marty Deeks: F.L.A.G.
Sam Hanna: What are you two talking about?
Nell Jones: 'Knight Rider', starring David Hasselhoff.
Marty Deeks: The Hoff. Don't you dare hassle him.
Nell Jones: 80s TV show with the talking car....
Eric Beale: AKA "KITT". And the Knight Industries Two Thousand was a little more than a talking car.
G Callan: Do you ever get the feeling we're working alone here?
Sam Hanna: Every single day.....
This was another example of a script writer who didn't trust his audience to understand the reference without clubbing them over the head with the source. This scene would still have worked if it ended after the two mentions of F.L.A.G.

BEST NEW FICTIONAL COUNTRY
Urkesh, 'Forever' BEST MAKE-UP
I've never done this category before, but I have to give props to the make-up wizards on this show for the wounds inflicted on various characters. But mostly for the transformation of Rebecca DeMornay as Trish Walker's mom Dorothy - from an unrecognizable older woman to the DeMornay I remember from "Risky Business" and "Identity" in the flashbacks.
BEST FIGHT SCENE
Hundred Eyes vs. Jia Sidao, 'Marco Polo' Some may argue that the fight scenes in 'Daredevil' and even 'Jessica Jones' were better, but they had to be more tricked out since enhanced humans were involved in them. This was between two "ordinary" men from centuries ago, so the choreography of the fight scenes really couldn't depend on anything more than camera tricks. BEST ACTION SCENE The attack by the White Walker army on Hardhome, 'Game Of Thrones'
BEST NEW FICTIONAL BOOK
"Into The Light" by Peter Van Owen - 'Proof' According to the book cover, Van Owen wrote "The After Life You Live". His obsession with the Afterlife could be due to him really being the Reaper Mason from 'Dead Like Me'. If so, perhaps a lot of his information came from that job he had in the Pacific Northwest.....
"The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show", 'Parks And Recreation' We got a whole show out of that! Special mention for "It's Patsy" from Comic Book Toobworld, as seen/heard in 'Jessica Jones'

THE BEST CHARACTERS OF 2015
BEST RECASTAWAY
OVERALLJason Gideon, 'Criminal Minds'
FEMALE
'Jessica Jones'
The casting agents for this show went all out to make the 13 year old Jessica look just like her adult self. And kudos to Elizabeth Cappucino for making us believe she was Jessica after Kristen Ritter had indelibly made the role her own.
MALE
IMPORT: Ross Poldark, 'Poldark' Robin Ellis will always be Poldark for me, but Aidan Turner certainly brought um... certain qualities to garner modern appreciations for his interpretation. DOMESTIC: Matt Murdock, 'Daredevil' Anything would have been better than the Daredevil who met the Hulk back in the Eighties (Being TV fixated, I don't have to render a verdict on Ben Affleck's version.), but Charlie Cox neatly differentiated the blind lawyer from his avenging do-gooder. WORST RECASTAWAY Pop Pop Goldberg, 'The Goldbergs'

SPECIAL CATEGORY Gigi Rotblum, 'Gigi Does It'
WORST NEW CHARACTER Robyn, 'Jessica Jones' I wasn't crazy about her twin brother Reuben either, but at least he got killed off early on by Kilgrave. I don't want to say it was Colby Minifie's acting that made this character so annoying, because I was not a very good actor myself back in the day. (I'd have to see Minifie in something else to be sure.) It's more likely Robyn was ill-served by the dialogue and plot actions given to her. I'm afraid we'll see more of her in season two, as I got the feeling they were setting her up to be a girlfriend for Malcolm Ducasse...... BEST NEW MALE SUPPORTING CHARACTER

BEST NEW ALIEN CHARACTER
Karellan, 'Childhood's End'
And by "new", I mean new to television; the book has been around for decades. For thirty-five years, my imagination's rendering of the Overlords was based on Wayne Barlowe's depiction in his "Guide to Extraterrestrials". But even if the overall design suggests Tim Curry in "Legend" (which is another universe anyway), Charles Dance's acting overcomes the make-up and prosthetics to make Karellan believable.
