TOOBWORLD TIMELINE - "BIG LOVE"


A little something for Valentine's Day....



From the IMDb:
Jonathan Creek:
Time Waits for Norman (1998)
Maddy refers to Rebecca as "Kojak" because she's bald,  She's also seen an episode "about some bloke in Utah with three wives".


I admit, the temptation is there to make a connection to ‘Big Love’.  But ‘Big Love’ debuted in 2006 and ran until 2011.  The series seen in the Trueniverse depicted events which were taking place at around the same time as the broadcast.  We can’t make the claim that while ‘Big Love’ was taking place in the main Toobworld, it had actually occurred in the past.  If that was true, then there could have been a Toobworld TV series which treated Bill Henrickson and his three wives as historical figures.

But I can’t sustain that argument because of trivial timeline matters that belie the historical aspect – makes of cars, topical references, etc.

Besides, I know (better than most, considering I’m the Curator of the Toobworld Dynamic!) that a basic tenet is that eventually everybody in Earth Prime-Time will have a TV show made about them.  However, I just don’t like it that much, except in the case of true historical series – Westerns and all of those British costume dramas.

Even so, if I looked it into deep enough for references to ‘Big Love’ by other TV series characters, I will eventually have to admit that a fictional TV show about the Henrickson enclave actually does exist in Toobworld.

And so it goes.
