MONDAY MEMORAL TVXOHOF TRIBUTE - WHITEY FORD

 

From ESPN:

Whitey Ford, a Hall of Famer for the New York Yankees who won more World Series games than any other pitcher, died at the age of 91, the Yankees announced Friday.

A family member told The Associated Press on Friday that Ford died at his Long Island home Thursday night. Ford had suffered from the effects of Alzheimer's disease in recent years.

Manager Aaron Boone told reporters Friday that Ford died, with his family by his side, while watching the Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 of the ALDS.

"I feel like there was some comfort in that," Boone said.

From Wikipedia:

Edward Charles "Whitey" Ford (October 21, 1928 – October 8, 2020), nicknamed "The Chairman of the Board", was an American professional baseball pitcher who played his entire 16-year Major League Baseball (MLB) career with the New York Yankees. He was a ten-time All-Star and six-time World Series champion. In 1961, he won both the Cy Young Award and World Series Most Valuable Player Award. Ford led the American League (AL) in wins three times and in earned run average (ERA) twice. He is the Yankees franchise leader in career wins (236), shutouts (45), innings pitched (3,170 1⁄3), and games started by a pitcher (438; tied with Andy Pettitte). Ford was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.

The Yankees retired his uniform number 16 in 1974 and dedicated a plaque in his honor in Monument Park in 1987.

Ford died on October 8, 2020, at the age of 91.

In the greater tele-mosaic of the TV Universe, Whitey Ford was a multidimensional.  (In fact, he’s a multiversal as he appeared in a few movies, placing him in the Cineverse.)

It's always better for an inductee to enter the Television Crossover Hall of Fame based on the appearances of their televersion in TV shows set in Earth Prime-Time, the main Toobworld.  So we’ll acknowledge Whitey Ford’s presence in the dimensions of the Tooniverse and Toobworld’s Toobworld, but we have enough roles to fulfill the tally requirements of three separate televised appearances.

Here are the appearances which qualified Whitey Ford to become the second Chairman of the Board to enter the TVXOHOF (after Old Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra….)

Post Grape-Nuts Commercial

(Several in the 1950s, maybe 1960s, at least one with his son.)

O’Bservation – These are the first indication that Whitey Ford’s televersion is a serlinguist, able to talk to the Trueniverse audience.

The Phil Silvers Show

- Hillbilly Whiz (1957)

From the IMDb:
After getting beat 24-0 by the WAC Baseball Team, Bilko's latest addition to the troop is Private Hank Lumpkin - a man who killed a mountain lion with a Baseball.

O’Bservation - Hoping to make some money off Lumkin by signing him to the Yankees, Bilko is stymied by the Southerner’s aversion to the idea of joining the Yankees.  So the team representatives try to convince Hank that they’re all from the South.  Whitey was one of those reps, along with Phil Rizzutto and Yogi Berra.

I've Got a Secret

- Episode dated 23 September 1959
O’Bservation – Ben Gazzara and Whitey did a little boxing (with gloves on) and then Gazzara brought out another sports figure to spar with moderator Garry Moore – Joe Louis!

The Jackie Gleason Show

- Jackie Gleason's 51st Birthday Celebration (1967)
O’Bservation - In this special episode of ‘The Jackie Gleason Show’, Whitey appeared with two actual members of the TVXOHOF – Ed Norton and Lucille Ball – and with the actors who played other member of the Hall – Danny Thomas (Danny Williams) and the Great One himself, Jackie Gleason (Ralph Kramden.)

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson
- Episode dated 10 August 1967
O'Bservation - This is a stronger entry than appearances on ‘The Mike Douglas Show’ or ‘The Dick Cavett Show’ because the televersion of ‘Tonight’ was inducted into the Hall earlier this year.

Miller Lite Commercial

O'Bservation - Numerous light beer commercials in the 1970s and 80s.  These are another example of Whitey’s serlinguistic ability.

Remington Steele

- Second Base Steele (1984)

From the IMDb:
A high school baseball team alumnus hires The Remington Steele Agency to find out who is responsible for a series of accidents at a sports camp which his old team is attending.

The Billy Martin Celebrity Roast (1987)

O’Bservation – Whitey appeared with several other TVXOHOF members, like Sammy Davis, Jr., Mickey Mantle, and that other Chairman of the Board, plus potential members like Howard Cosell and Billy Martin himself.

I mentioned earlier that Whitey Ford was a multidimensional.  In the Tooniverse, he voiced his "tooniversion" in an episode of 'The Simpsons' in which he was knocked unconscious after being pelted with pretzels.

And then there's Toobworld's Toobworld.  This is the alternate TV dimension in which we got to see the dramatized stories about the making of various TV shows.  But that could be expanded to include the tele-biographies of other people as well.  There are so many retellings of the life of JFK that one of them has to located in this dimension, for example.  And then there's the TV movie about Roger Maris' race to break the home run record established by Babe Ruth - "61*".  Anthony Michael Hall portrayed Whitey Ford in that.

Good night and may God bless, Mr. Ford.  

Welcome to the Hall, sir.  You should find plenty of friends in the Sports Wing….

FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS 10/09/2020 - EDDIE MUNSTER

 
With this week’s Friday Hall of Famer, we complete the inductions of the Munster family into the Television Crossover Hall of Fame.  (Herman Munster was inducted three times – once as himself, once as part of all of Dr. Frankenstein’s creations, and once in Skitlandia.)

I wasn’t sure Eddie Munster could get into the Crossover Hall of Fame except as a multidimensional, as he only had the TV series and the movie with Butch Patrick playing the role. (All other actors as Eddie are banished to other Toobworlds.)

But one good thing to come out of 2020 was a third appearance of Eddie Munster in Toobworld.

So let’s complete the set!

EDDIE MUNSTER

From Wikipedia:
Eddie Munster is a fictional character on the CBS sitcom ‘The Munsters’. He was portrayed by Butch Patrick in all episodes of the original series except for the pilot, where he was portrayed by Happy Derman. The only child of Herman and Lily Munster, Eddie is a werewolf. The role was later played by Jason Marsden in ‘The Munsters Today’.  

Eddie is a typical all-American boy apart from being a werewolf and, in some episodes, showing some signs of being part vampire. Most noticeable is the fact that he sleeps in a chest of drawers. He has a stuffed toy werewolf named Woof-Woof, which bears an uncanny resemblance to Lon Chaney, Jr.'s portrayal of Larry Talbot in the 1941 feature film, “The Wolfman”. He attends elementary school, and aside from his pointed ears, severe widow's peak, and Fauntleroy suit, he is a normal kid.

Eddie is very proud of his father, to the point of bragging about Herman's abilities and deeds to his friends... although these boasts are often outright fabrications. In fact, Eddie volunteering Herman for a heroic deed (which is clearly beyond Herman's capabilities, but one Herman nonetheless undertakes for Eddie's sake) is a central theme in many episodes.

Here is the tally of appearances which qualifies Eddie Munster to join the rest of his family in the TVXOHOF.  (Yes, even Marilyn is in the Hall – being played by three different actresses has a good splainin – she wasn’t so normal after all.  Marilyn Munster was a shape-changer.)

The Munsters

71 episodes
1964-1966

Munster, Go Home!

The Munsters travel to England after Herman discovers he's the new Lord of the Munster Hall.  

TV Therapy

- Eddie (2020)
Eddie from THE MUNSTERS has a therapy session with Dr. Nielsen. Growing up a Munster has its issues.

Maybe so, but at least it got him into the Crossover Hall of Fame.

Welcome to the TVXOHOF, Eddie! Enjoy the family reunion….    

TVXOHOF, OCTOBER 2020 - THE BODY OF ROBBY THE ROBOT

Because Halloween caps October, the Television Crossover Hall of Fame usually inducts “monsters” as the monthly showcase.  Now, these could be friendly monsters, like the Munsters, classic monsters as seen in Toobworld (like all of the Frankenstein’s Creature variations), even real-life monsters like Hitler and Lee Harvey Oswald.  On occasion, the TVXOHOF has inducted a monster who is a combination from both Earth Prime and Earth Prime-Time – like Jack the Ripper AKA Redjac from ‘Star Trek’.

And so for this year’s October showcase, we’re going with a less organic “monster”, but one who often is considered “cuddly” albeit clunky.

ROBBY THE ROBOT'S CASING

From Wikipedia:
Robby the Robot is a fictional character and science fiction icon who first appeared in the 1956 film “Forbidden Planet”. He made a number of subsequent appearances in science fiction movies and television programs, usually without specific reference to the original film character.

Robby was reused by MGM in “The Invisible Boy” (1957) and then made several further appearances in other films and TV shows during the next few decades; these include episodes of ‘The Gale Storm Show’, ‘The Thin Man’, ‘Columbo’, ‘The Addams Family’, and ‘Lost in Space’ where he battles The Robot.

The original Rod Serling incarnation of ‘The Twilight Zone’ - which was substantially filmed at MGM Studios - made extensive use of props and costumes originally created for “Forbidden Planet”, including Robby. The Season 5 episode "Uncle Simon" (1963) featured Robby, although his appearance was considerably different, combining the familiar body with an alternative head. According to Robby's current owner, director William Malone, the head used in this episode was a prototype created during Robby's original construction. It featured a highly simplified and rather old-fashioned cylindrical "oil can" robot head with stylised 'eyes' (that were illuminated and movable) and a circular 'mouth'; this was enclosed under the distinctively-shaped conical plexiglass dome, but this head's front grille also did not have the blue neon tubes and lacked the rotating external 'ear' pieces seen in “Forbidden Planet”. It is not known whether this internal "oil-can'" head was original, but its rather rudimentary design and appearance is clearly not of same exacting MGM standards that are evident in all other “Forbidden Planet” props, and suggests it may have been custom-made for the filming of this ‘Twilight Zone’ episode. However this version of the prop survives and is currently also owned by William Malone.

In other appearances, Robby usually retained the moving parts inside his transparent dome, although the details of his "brain" and chest panel were sometimes altered; in ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ episode "The Bridge of Lions Affair", only Robby's head dome was used as part of a regeneration machine. Robby also appeared in the ‘Mork & Mindy’ second-season episode "Dr. Morkenstein", this time representing a character called Chuck (voiced by actor Roddy McDowall) whom Mork befriends while working as a security guard in the science museum where Chuck is on display. Robby was given a major 'makeover' for his appearance in the TV series ‘Project U.F.O.’ (1978). The original head was removed and replaced with a newly constructed "Cyclops" head that had new internal 'brain' fittings, a much squatter (roughly hemispherical) perspex dome, and a large circular glowing green 'eye' on the front, mounted in a protruding triangular panel. The front panel on Robby's torso was also modified with the addition of a new protruding panel, and additional appliances and cables were added to the front of both legs. This 'Cyclops' version of Robby was also used in the 1977 TV series ‘Space Academy’. All appearances of Robby after 1971 are a replica, as the original was retired and on display in a museum.

He was also featured in a 2006 commercial for AT&T.

Robby the Robot was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame in 2004.

With all of the TV episodes in which Robby appeared, I think it would be ridiculous to consider them all to be Robby.  There’s no way the robot menace in that ‘Thin Man’ episode could be the same robot built by tween genius Stevie Spelberg in the ‘Columbo’ episode fifteen years later.

O’Bviously, the scenario I’m going to suggest won’t satisfy everybody; it can’t be considered canon.  But it works for Toobworld and I’m only concerned with pleasing my needs.  LOL

As was the case in the real world, the televersion of Robert Kinoshita built the original body of Robby for the movie. (We know “Forbidden Planet” exists in Toobworld thanks to references in ‘Cheers’, ‘The Big Bang Theory’, ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’, ‘Gilmore Girls’, ‘Six Feet Under’, ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Fringe.’

But in Toobworld, tele-Kinoshita then made custom copies of that casing to sell. It turns out that it proved to be a popular casing for scientists to house the computer systems they developed, to make their computers mobile. (Stevie Spelberg bought one with funding from the Cybernetics Institute for the seventh incarnation of his MM series of robot.)

Some were maybe bought for cosplay, as seen in that ‘Wonder Woman’ episode; others were ordered only for parts, like that headpiece used for the regeneration machine in ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’.  As I mentioned, they were customized, some with different heads, at least one with no legs. 

Tele-Kinoshita even sold use of the miniaturized model to a toy company for a line of toy robots.

Eventually, scientists in the future would hew to the tradition of using that body form.  Aliens on Earth, probably disguised as humans, must have stolen the basic design and took it back to their home planet to use in their creation of that robot which faced off against B9.

Here are the TV appearances which can be considered linked via the theory I suggested above.

O'Bservation - Supposedly, a statuette of Robby is on the right-side night stand.  It could be of the same toy line as seen in 'The Twilight Zone'.  

But in this episode, Robby is in the basement playroom of Dr. Lorvis.  It can be seen in the back and to the left ("back and to the left") behind Billy Bob Thornton. 

So, it’s not exactly Robby the Robot who’s being inducted.  But whether it's Bix, Smiley, Squeezax, Alphie, Arnold, Chuck, Mildred, or Uncle Simon, the shell which was custom-built for all the examples listed here is based on that original model.

Welcome to the TVXOHOF, "Robby"!

FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS, 09/25/2020 - "THE TWILIGHT ZONE"

 
Once again I’m running so late with my blog posts for the Television Crossover Hall of Fame.  And it’s only five posts a month!  I guess after thirty years of working on my Toobworld concept, I’m finally burned out.  I find I would much rather be exploring my realm of Wayside, Connecticut.  Those stories may not be good but almost everything is mine… almost, and I’m not restricted in the structure of those stories by any limitations on the universe.

Shameless plug time – if you’re interested in reading any of them, I have a Facebook page – “Wayside, Connecticut”.  I would suggest reading them via the photo galleries; pick a category and read them in order.  And please like the page even if you don’t plan on visiting very often (or ever again!)  It helps…..

Let’s move on….

This was supposed to be the final entry in eptember and as we’ve been doing all year, it’s a Real World TV series which has a Toobworld “televersion”.  And so….

THE TWILIGHT ZONE

From Wikipedia:
‘The Twilight Zone’ is an American media franchise based on the anthology television series created by Rod Serling. The episodes are in various genres, including fantasy, science fiction, absurdism, dystopian fiction, suspense, horror, supernatural drama, black comedy, and psychological thriller, often concluding with a macabre or unexpected twist, and usually with a moral. A popular and critical success, it introduced many Americans to common science fiction and fantasy tropes.

The first series, shot entirely in black and white, ran on CBS for five seasons from 1959 to 1964.

‘The Twilight Zone’ followed in the tradition of earlier television shows such as ‘Tales of Tomorrow’ (1951–53) and ‘Science Fiction Theatre’ (1955–57); radio programs such as ‘The Weird Circle’ (1943–45), ‘Dimension X’ (1950–51) and ‘X Minus One’ (1955–58); and the radio work of one of Serling's inspirations, Norman Corwin. The success of the series led to a feature film (1983), a TV film (1994), a radio series (2002–12), various literature, theme park attractions and various other spin-offs that spanned five decades, including three revival television series. The second series (1985–89) ran on CBS and in syndication in the 1980s, while the third series ran on UPN (2002–2003). In December 2017, CBS All Access officially ordered the fourth ‘Twilight Zone’ series, helmed by Jordan Peele. The series premiered on April 1, 2019.

TV Guide ranked the original TV series #5 in their 2013 list of the 60 greatest shows of all time and #4 in their list of the 60 greatest dramas.

One might think ‘The Twilight Zone’ should have been saved for the October TV show.  But one would be wrong. This show really is more attuned to the world of show business which is depicted throughout the series in one aspect or another.

Besides, there is another show which will be inducted next month for the Halloween tradition.

Rod Serling, the creator of the series, was inducted into the Hall not only for contributing such a vital element to Toobworld, but also for taking part in the show as its host, an Observer, and at least as a participant in the story.  (“A World Of His Own”)

For Toobworld, the anthology series not only takes place on Earth Prime-Time – Past, Present, and Future – but also on other planets and in other dimensions.  And most Toobworlders only know of that as being fictional, as seen in their televersion of the show that we watch.  They have no clue they’re watching actual events being transmitted thanks to the powers of Rod Serling’s televersion.  So what we see as the Trueniverse audience is “real life” as it plays out on Toobworld, other worlds, and on alternate Toobworlds.  And for the Toobworlders, they’re watching depictions of that, plus a few episodes only to be found in that TV world.

Here's an example of Toobworld’s fictional televersion of ‘The Twilight Zone’:

Saved by the Bell: The College Years:
A Thanksgiving Story (1993)

Alex says that she watched an episode of "The Twilight Zone" that included goat people.

When TV characters mention ‘The Twilight Zone’, sometimes it can be a toss-up as to it being a reference to the TV show or to the actual location/state of being.

Here’s an example in which the Twilight Zone had to be real:

Xena: Warrior Princess:
Lifeblood (2000)

Cyane mentions in disbelief that she must be in the Twilight Zone

Here are many of the shows which have referenced their own version of ‘The Twilight Zone’:

Welcome to the Hall, Twilight Zone!

FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS, 09/18/2020 - LOU FERRIGNO

I wanted to make sure that the Television Crossover Hall of Fame had a League of Themselves actor inducted this month as we look behind the scenes into the making of the Television Universe.  And I wanted that actor to be someone whose “televersion” appearances keyed into the role he or she was known for.  At first I thought Wil Wheaton would be the perfect choice, but his credits, despite ‘The Big Bang Theory’, leaned too heavily on appearances in alternate Toobworlds or on reality programming like game shows and talk shows.

So instead….

LOU FERRIGNO!

From Wikipedia:
Louis Jude Ferrigno Sr. (born November 9, 1951) is an American actor, fitness trainer, fitness consultant, and retired professional bodybuilder. As a bodybuilder, Ferrigno won an IFBB Mr. America title and two consecutive IFBB Mr. Universe titles, and appeared in the bodybuilding documentary “Pumping Iron”. As an actor, he is best known for his title role in the CBS television series ‘The Incredible Hulk’ and vocally reprising the role in subsequent animated and computer-generated incarnations. He has also appeared as himself in the sitcom ‘The King of Queens’. 

Here are the appearances which will allow Ferrigno to smash his way into the TVXOHOF:

The Hollywood Squares (Daytime)
- Episodes from February 4-8, 1980

The Fall Guy
- License to Kill: Part 1 (1982)
- The Winner (1984)

O'Bservation - This is a great example of seeing both sides of Toobworld - from the Earth Prime perspective as well as from within Earth Prime-Time. (This episode would also be at home in Toobworld-Toobworld, where the making of real TV shows are dramatized.)  In this case, the Hulk (a TVXOHOF member) does exist in the main Toobworld, and that's who we saw in his TV series.  But in Toobworld, a TV show was naturally made from such a newsworthy concept and Lou Ferrigno starred in it.  This negates any Zonk mentions in other shows. 
 

The King of Queens

18 episodes
(2000-07)

The Price Is Right

- Episode #37.105 (2009)
O’Bservation - While not a member of the TVXOHOF yet, ‘The Price Is Right’ has established its televersion in shows like ‘Martial Law’ and ‘How I Met Your Mother’ in more ways than just playing on TV sets in the background.

The Apprentice
- And the Winner Is ... (2012)
- Winning by a Nose (2012)
- Ad Hawk (2012)
- Walking Papers (2012)
- Party Like a Mock-Star (2012)
- I'm Going to Mop the Floor with You (2012)
- Failure to Launch (2012)
- How Much is That Celebrity in the Window? (2012)
- Getting Medieval (2012)
- Hero Worship (2012)

O'Bservation - Drumpf was inducted as the April Fool in 2009.

Con Man

- I'm with Stupid (2017)
- Pin Cushion (2017)

The Grindhouse Radio
- GHR: Alan Robert - Life of Agony (2018)

O’Bservation – This is basically a radio show taped for television, which has been a format that’s been around for some time.  I thought it odd enough to be included.

Velvet Prozak
- Cougar Hunting (2020)

Welcome to the Hall, Mr. Ferrigno!

And better luck next time, H’Wil H’Wheaton!
