TVXOHOF TUESDAY - FROM THE "CARTER" LARDER

CARTER
HARLEY WEARS A WIG

In this series, Harley Carter starred as Charlie Carter in the action series 'Call Carter'.  Because of his past in Hollywood, Carter has name-dropped plenty of bold-type celebrities in its first season.  And those references establish them as being "alive" in the TV Universe.  While not as strong as an actual appearance, mentions still qualify such televersions as being eligible for membership in the Television Crossover Hall of Fame.

In this second season premiere of Jerry O’Connell’s series, Harley Carter revealed that Antonio Sabato, Jr. and Christine Baranski appeared in an episode of his TV series ‘Call Carter’:

Harley Carter:
You ever fall for a patient? Or let me rephrase that, you ever roll a patient up into a carpet and dump her off a bridge just like Antonio Sabato, Jr. did to Christine Baranski in episode 17, season 4 of ‘Call Carter’?

He later mentioned that he did a TV movie with lone Skye….

Captain Joyce Boyle:
You paid for your own chopper?
Carter:
I had a little extra change in my piggy bank. And by piggy bank, I mean a TV movie I did with lone Skye, where I played her lover with amnesia.

These are not the actual actors from our world, Earth Prime, but their televersions as seen on TV, meaning the actors from Toobworld, Earth Prime-Time.

These statements confirm that their televersions exist in the main Toobworld.  And should either one of them appear in another TV series as themselves, that other show would automatically be connected to ‘Carter’, thanks to their mentions in this episode.

Of the three, Antonio Sabato Jr. is now eligible for membership in the TV Crossover Hall of Fame as a member of the League of Themselves.  This mention can join these other appearances of his televersion:

Ugly Betty
- The Fall Issue (2009)

Scrubs
- Our Drunk Friend (2009)
- Our First Day of School (2009)

Ione Skye isn’t too far behind, however.  She appeared as her own televersion in three episodes of the “psychiatrist to the stars” sitcom ‘Head Cases’.  She really only needs one more TV show in which she appears as herself to qualify for the Hall.

Carter is now linked to 'Scrubs' and 'Ugly Betty' thanks to Sabato, and to 'Head Cases' because of Skye.  But alas, nothing yet from Baranski as far as I can make out.

Get your act in gear, Baranski!

BCnU!
