  1. The Shuffled Disneyverse: An Alt Disney Timeline

    For the Genie, if you make it into the 60’s it could be Zero Mostell. Peter Sellers or one of the members of Monty Python, Pailen, Cleese, or Idol, could be another option.

  2. DCEU have to use second tier characters

    How you sell a JSA centered continuum is acknowledging there have been Batman and Superman movies already. Acknowledge that Batman has been established in the “present” with Keaton/Kilmer/Clooney and certainly acknowledge Christopher Reeves as Superman. This saves you from having to establish...

  3. DCEU have to use second tier characters

    If I’m going with a JSA start, my first movie is either with Hourman as a detective thriller where other JSA members are discovered chasing the same villains or a full JSA film as the first leg of a chase of the Spear of Destiny. The JSA cycle would end with a 2-part Atomic Age which opens the...

  4. DCEU have to use second tier characters

    If DC had to use its second tier to start its Cinematic Universe, you would probably see something very much like the Justice League: International with the Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Black Canary, Martian Manhunter, and Green Arrow as your centerpiece. Maybe Aquaman is involved as the character...

  5. Could Reagan have lost in 84?

    One of the most obvious things that might have caused Reagan to lose in 84 is a more visible and prominent onset of the Alzheimer’s that started to noticeably cloud his memory nearer the end of the second term. Had there been any lingering effects from the assassination attempt, especially heart...

  6. No USSR: Ramifications For American Politics?

    Without the fear of Communism, the political left would possibly see a more viable path forward, but the lack of a unifying external threat to pull the left and right together towards the center, there may have been a much more violent domestic political landscape. The harsh reactions to labor...

  7. WI: Nixon never runs for the 1968 Election?

    I think without Nixon in the mix, it would be a battle between George Romney and Nelson Rockefeller. The polling at the time showed that those two, at least in the early phases and lead up to the '68 campaign, were the leading players on the board. What has to be remembered though is that on the...

  8. DuMont will make TV work: A TL

    With Turner and WTBS getting to be the premier “Superstation”, does this mean one of his prize programs, Georgia Championship Wrestling remain tied to Jim Barnett and slows down the Vince McMahon driven expansion of the WWF in the early 80’s? Also, with WGN remaining with DuMont, is the AWA...

  9. DuMont will make TV work: A TL

    I find that tough to imagine as my father firmly remembers “the CBS/ New York Yankee game of the week” on tv in the 60’s. If the CBS ownership of the Yankees wasn’t challenged, then I wouldn’t be surprised if the Tribune Company owning the Cubs and it being the DuMonte- Chicago Cubs game of the...

  10. AHC: Make Eisenhower the face of the GOP instead of Reagan

    Sadly, the easiest way for Ike to be the face of the Republicans is for the assassination attempt on Reagan to succeed. This leaves a more centrist H.W. Bush as President and he may fall back into the more Eisenhoweresque policy stream. The other option is for Iran-Contra to become a Watergate...

  11. A Wonderful Accident: A Pro Wrestling Timeline

    Liking this as it puts forward a fairly believable wrestling landscape w/o the overwhelming presence of the Hulkster. Savage and Steamboat getting a good, long feud works as does keeping Andre a face trying to avenge Hogan. The NWA still looks strong, but you haven’t gone in a very different...

  12. What if the Panama Canal was never constructed?

    If there is no canal, do we see an expansion of the navigable waterways that cut east/west? How far is the Rio Grande/ Rio Bravo del Norte navigable inland? Does river traffic stop at Laredo? Does it make it all the way to El Paso? Do rail heads become that much more important?

  13. From the US to the World: A Spring Football TL

    The color combination for the Generals might get the team a lawsuit from the Jets ownership. Like them or not, the Red and Silver of the OTL Generals is far enough from either NY team not to generate extra legal expenses.

  14. From the US to the World: A Spring Football TL

    Waiting eagerly to see what it takes for Spring football to find its footing.

  15. If you were Elvis manager how would you have pushed his direction in the 60s?

    Biggest thing I would have pushed for Elvis in the 60’s was a return to his “roots”: Country and Gospel. The sound of 60’s Elvis music is very much similar to the polished Nashville sounds coming from the major labels. His appeal to the middle-America audience would be reinforced as well as his...

  16. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I know it’s sports and not entertainment, but what happens if the Cubs hold on in the 84 NLCS against the Padres? Detroit seemed unbeatable that year, but could there be a World Championship at Wrigley 32 years earlier?

  17. Broad Stripes and Bright Stars: A Soccer/Football Timeline

    Yet another very impressive chapter. I like the mix of straight ahead telling of the “facts” of the story added to the tale of this fictional tv series. It feels very much like the Netflix series about the early English game, which I binged in a day and a half. Great work and I look forward to...

  18. Broad Stripes and Bright Stars: A Soccer/Football Timeline

    Always a fan of these series. Looking forward to where you take things.

  19. An Alternate 1984 NBA Draft

    FYI, you had the colleges for Tisdale and McDaniel reversed. Otherwise, a very entertaining timeline.

  20. DBWI: British Automobile Industry Collapses

    We’re also overlooking the political work done in the 50’s and 60’s to maintain the strength of the British Commonwealth as an economic entity. Already mentioned was the move of auto production to Africa, Kenya and South Africa in particular. Building British machines, branded with British...
