Alexander Hamilton at "Hamilton: The Musical"? Surprising.
"NO COUNTRY FOR OLD DADS"
This series began in the alternate TV dimension of Comix Toobworld DC-1 and they usually return to it, but they've probably created quite a few alternate Toobworlds because of their adventures.
Near the end of this episode, it's pozz'ble, just pozz'ble, that they created yet another one. Due to an aberration in the timeline, Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury for the newborn country of the United States, ended up on Comix Toobworld DC-1 in modern times. And Director Bennett of the Time Agency had tried to revert the situation before Hamilton saw "Hamilton: The Musical".
Unfortunately for Bennett, Gorilla Grodd burst onto the screen and killed the agents and Director Bennett before they could fix the aberration.
So as far as I can tell, Hamilton did see the musical. And if so, he now knew how his life story ended, albeit without all the rapping.

If Hamilton got back to his own time thanks to either the Agency or the Legends, he may have taken steps to change his fate. In that alternate timeline, he might even have refused to duel Aaron Burr or at the very least he would have shot Burr dead before he could kill Hamilton. And that would have totally changed the timeline for that dimension.
Even if it did, it has no effect on Earth Prime-Time.

Pictured in this post is the late, great Ross Martin as Alexander Hamilton in the John Wayne TV special "Swing Out, Sweet Land". I admit I'm biased, but Martin was my favorite TV portrayal of Alexander Hamilton even if he was from Skitlandia.

Fun post! I have zero interest in the Hamilton "musical," using the term loosely. But I loved seeing Ross Martin as Hamilton. I love SING OUT, SWEET LAND, a classic TV special and what a cast! If I remember right, wasn't William Shatner also in that skit with Martin? I also remember Archie Bunker mentioning this John Wayne special in an early episode of ALL IN THE FAMILY.
ReplyDeleteHi Gary! Yes, Shatner played John Adams, Lorne Greene was Washington, and Hugh O'Brian was Thomas Jefferson. I love that special as well and added it to my DVD library.
