VIDEO WEEKEND - THE RUSSIAN CAPTAIN NEMO


There are several Toobworlds out there in the Multiverse of the TV Universe which are defined by the language spoken by EVERYONE in that world.  Spanish Toobworld - everybody speaks Spanish; German Toobworld? German.  And it's parle français for French Toobworld.
Those TV shows produced in other countries are automatically included in the makeup of those Toobworlds. It's a given. But that doesn't mean they couldn't exist in the main Toobworld, Earth Prime-Time. I want Toobworld to acknowledge that you can't spell "Toobworld" without the "world". French shows like 'Commissioner Magellan' and 'Mongeville' belong in the main Toobworld just as much as 'Mannix' and 'Magnum P.I.'.

But the reason for these extra TV dimensions is because of the English-based TV shows which have been dubbed into the native languages. If you look around YouTube, you should be able to find 'Hondo' in Portuguese. So the life of Hondo Layne played out the same in that dimension, only this time he spoke Portuguese and not English.

How did the Portuguese come to dominate the entire world? Not my concern; just is.

But you have to know how far back the takeover of the world actually took place. With French Toobworld, I think it can be pinpointed to the success of the Cardinal Richelieu in that world to make France the dominant world power.

In Russian Toobworld, the entire world speaking Russian didn't grow out of the Cold War. It's much older than that. In that world, Russia controlled England before Stanford introduced Dr. James Watson to Sherlock Holmes. (I'm told the Russian TV series about Holmes and Watson is one of the best presentations of the Baker Street partnership.) Around that same time, Holmes' fellow member of the Wold Newton Universe was also seen in Russian Toobworld. And we have the proof of this as our presentation for today......
