TVXOHOF - THE NEW YORK CHRONICLE (05/18/18)




You may have noticed there was a gap of about two weeks in the blog before I picked up again this past Monday.  I was in the hospital, and while I might be considered now on my third life, I'm home again.

But it got me thinking that Life is indeed short.  And along those lines, maybe inducting new members into the Television Crossover Hall of Fame more often than just once a month.  

So until it burns me out, I'm aiming to induct a new TVXOHOF member every Friday.

And we're kicking it off with the first of five in a series - the New York Chronicle newspaper.


The Chronicle is perhaps most famous as being the newspaper which kept a roof over the heads of the Lane Family in Brooklyn Heights.  (Martin Lane was the editor of the paper while his twin brother Kenneth was a foreign correspondent.)

So here are examples of the paper as seen in 'The Patty Duke Show' and other TV series.

'THE PATTY DUKE SHOW'



'McCLOUD'


'THE ROGUES'

'THE THIN MAN'

'ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS'

'ALEX, INC.'
[As of this year, the New York Chronicle transformed into a tabloid newspaper.]

'THE TWILIGHT ZONE'



'HEROES'
[This series began in Earth Prime-Time, but once Hiro traveled back in Time, he altered the Future and so the show created a new Toobworld.]

And from Toobworld-MOTW:

"ELLERY QUEEN: DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU"


And here are a few of the blog posts I've written about the New York Chronicle:

Next week, we'll have the logical extension of this inductee....

Toby, sorry to read about your hospitalization and health scare. Here's lifting you up and trusting God to make this "third life" a long and happy one!
