TVXOHOF MEMOR0I0AL TRIB0UTE - MAYOR DAVID DINKINS

 

From CNN:

David Norman Dinkins, the genteel first and, to date, only Black mayor of New York City who dedicated much of his public life trying to improve race relations in the nation's largest city, has died at age 93.

Dinkins died Monday evening at his residence on Manhattan's Upper East Side, the New York City Police Department told CNN.

From Wikipedia:

David Norman Dinkins (July 10, 1927 – November 23, 2020) was an American politician, lawyer, and author who served as the 106th Mayor of New York City from 1990 to 1993. He was the first and, to date, only African American to hold that office.

As a matter of course with the death of some public officials, I checked tp see if Mayor Dinkins qualified to be into the Television Crossover Hall of Fame.  Not all public officials do, but since Ed Koch was mayor, the New York City mayors have been candidates.

David Dinkins does qualify, with just over the bare minimum, but three appearances in separate TV productions is all that it takes.  And he enters as a multidimensional, with each of his appearances located in alternate Toobworlds.

EARTH PRIME-TIME

Sesame Street

- Episode #22.95
(1991)

O'Bservation - Gordon gets an award from the Mayor.

TOOBWORLD’S TOOBWORLD
(possibly)

Rudy: The Rudy Giuliani Story
(archival footage)

O'Bservation - Rudy Giuliani IS Rudy Giuliani in Earth Prime-Time October 2001, so this TV movie has to go somewhere....

THE WEST WING DIMENSION
AKA “Toobworld Jed”
(Possibly)

Blue Bloods

- Risk Management
(2018)

O’Bservation – The placement of ‘Blue Bloods’ in ‘The West Wing’ dimension depends on who the POTUS is in the series. But it can’t be in the main Toobworld because it deviated from that timeline at some point after Dinkins’ administration.

SKITLANDIA

‘Saturday Night Live’

O'Bservation - Tim Meadows played Dinkins in several shows, as well as referencing the Mayor while playing his biggest supporter, Lionel Dauber.

Good night and may God bless, Mister Mayor.  I hope this small tribute meets with approval.  I admire your sense of timing, right up until the end.  If you had to pick any month in which to die, November was probably the most appropriate when we induct politicians.  (February would have been a very close second....)
