In the last few years, the Television Crossover Hall of Fame inducts actual TV series into the Hall. These are not the TV shows as we watched them back in the Trueniverse; these are the televersions of those shows, as either seen or mentioned in other TV series.
I had already planned September to be a double tribute to the late David Lynch, who revolutionized the Television landscape with ‘Twin Peaks’. And then I thought: “Why not make it a tribute three times over? When was the last time TV had a triplecast?”
And so with this ceremony, the TVXOHOF is proud to welcome the televersion of….
These are just some of the TV shows in Earth Prime-Time – the main Toobworld* - which also have their own ‘Twin Peaks’:
THE CHRONICLE SMART GUY GRACE UNDER FIRE
L.A. LAW CAMP WILDER EERIE, INDIANA
PARKER LEWIS CAN’T LOSE HEAD OF THE CLASS
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 MURPHY BROWN
THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR COMMUNITY
NOT NECESSARILY THE NEWS PARENTHOOD
BEVERLY HILLS 90210 CHASING LIFE
DETECTORISTS WAREHOUSE 13 JONATHAN CREEK
To be qualified for membership in the TVXOHOF, a minimum of 3 separate appearances are required, and ‘Twin Peaks’ easily covered that. But I’m thinking from now on, since pop culture references are always good for a quick mention in the dialogue, that I should make it harder for TV show televersions.
We’ll see… but first, a piece of pie to mull it over.
Welcome to the Hall, ‘Twin Peaks’!
* ‘Twin Peaks’ is actually a multi-dimensional series, with fictional televersions to be found in alternate Toobworlds like Toobworld-DCU and especially in the Tooniverse. But Earth Prime-Time is the Hall’s main focus, so we’re focusing on that.
