[Mr_ Bondoc]

Just remember folks, this isn't an ASB timeline. This is an ATL wherein it is just pure coincidence that psychic Jeane Dixon is correct. As such, please feel free to show any other random PODs for the ATL.

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Despite all of the Soviet-wank, are there any PODs people would like to see in the ATL?

 

[Brian Roastbeef]

What of her predictions that contradict, such as when she said that Kennedy would not win in 1960?


Also there is supposed to be some nasty crap in 1998-99, and world peace in 2000.

 

[Wendell]

Islamabad did not yet exist in 1947...

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

What of her predictions that contradict, such as when she said that Kennedy would not win in 1960?


Also there is supposed to be some nasty crap in 1998-99, and world peace in 2000.

I have forgone the predictions that contradict themselves, in an effort to make sure that the ATL is as straight-forward as possible. In the meantime, consider the rest of the TL carte blanche. We haven't seen any changes in the world of pop culture, movies, sports, et al.

As for the "nasty crap", please feel free to throw them into the ATL, but make sure to explain where it came from. If anything, let's at least have some "method to the madness..."

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Islamabad did not yet exist in 1947...

I am making the corrections. It has been readjusted to Karachi, Pakistan...

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Does anyone have any nominees for female presidential candidates for the 1980s? So far, I have Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY) and Pat Schroeder (D-CO). The more original the better!!

January 7th 1994- The Longest Running Romance Comedy Show "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" is given its First Movie. The show, orginating in the 1986 Pilot on ABC staring Jeanne Basone as Jane is showing her exploits, such as her and John (Edward J. Foster) and the Narrator Harry Armis and the dreaded boss Thresher (Paul Bokor). At first, the show is considered to be a horrible idea, but amazingly, nearly 72 Million Viewers watch the Premiere Episode (In no short part due to a movement by the collapse of the Soviet Union movement by the Death of the USSR and Prince (Otherwise know as Michael Jackson) movements), which famously had Jane and John nearly being involved in a Job Interview/Rape/Killing/Chase/Price Is Right Bidding for Jane against Thresher. The Uncensored Version of Plumbers Don't Wear Ties can be found in a select infamous moment here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtDGJxMKm64). After the 1st episode, the Show was given a 3 Year Contract extension, which included many famous episodes in the first 13 Episodes such As the Following:

-Harry Armis vs. Howard Hughes Sports Network Monday Night Football commentator Howard Stern

-Harry Armis bickering at you while NBC Longtime former Tonight Show and Nightly News Tom Brokaw announces that "The Claw" has died

-Thresher trying to have his way with Jane

- John trying to have his way with Jane

-Pop Music Sensation Prince famously appearing when to his tune "Billie Jean" bids on Jane for $5 Billion.

This show has even spawned the highest grossing Video Game of All Time later on with 117 Million Buys. By 1999, the TGIF Schedule looks like this:

8ET: Plumber's Don't Wear Ties
9ET: Whose Line is It Anyway
10ET: Life on Mars

October 11th 1975- George Carlin starts on CBS a show called Nothing from Nothing (OTL's SNL), sparking off huge ratings, led by the antics of Smoking Joe Namath, The Boss Bruce Springsteen, and NY's Finest, a troupe of rotating players.

September 12th 1988- Lorne Michaels, noted for his production in the widely accalimed film series Batman (12 would be made between 1966-2010), Lorne on NBC replaces repeats of Tom Brokaw's Tonight Show with Kids in the Hall (Same OTL's Cast + David Spade and Adam Sandler). KITH becomes a widely successful smash hit, forcing SNL to cancel in 1993 and having KITH the Comedy King. Over the next 2 decades, while the original 6 stayed on, a new Rotating cast of "Knucklecanucks" such as Stephen Colbert and Wayne Brady keep teh Show as a Cultural Icon. That means Gavin.

leninsbeard- Interesting, I am definitely adding those PODs to the ATL!!!

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Here are some PODs that I would throw in:

August 22nd, 1962: French President Charles de Gaulle is assassinated in Paris, France, Soviet-backed Communists are blamed...

May 15th, 1972: Former Alabama governor George Wallace is assassinated by Arthur Bremer in Laurel, Maryland....

October 3rd, 1995: Attorney Johnnie Cochran takes credit for winning a "Not Guilty" verdict for Nicole Brown-Simpson in Los Angeles, California, sparking controversy nationwide...

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

The ATL now has some PODs that stretch into the 1990s, based on tabloid predictions she made. Apparently Jeane Dixon believed that George H.W. Bush would be re-elected in 1992, and that 1991, would see the collapse of the nations of China, Korea, and Japan...

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

I just looked over the ATL, and with a few additions regarding the creation of cybernetics, the ATL could resemble the manga/anime Appleseed. For those unfamiliar:

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Considering the amount of Soviet-wank predicted by Jeane Dixon, how realistic are the following PODs? Consider the idea of Soviet culture being considered "cool" by the majority of people, with Soviet films having the popularity of American films in OTL, and Chinese/Soviet "manhua" animated series the popularity of OTL's Japanese manga/anime:

February 9th, 1947: Soviet film, Secret Agent, introduces the world to the character of "Aleksey Fedotov", the clever, suave, and sophisticated KGB agent...

March 1st, 1962: Soviet film, Amphibian Man, makes its hit debut, introducing the "super-functionary" to worldwide audiences...

August 16th, 1965: Soviet film, Operation Y and Other Fedotov Adventures, makes its hit debut, spoofing the adventures of "Aleksey Fedotov"...

June 7th, 1980: Soviet action film, Pirates of the XXth Century, becomes a major hit, ironically portraying an attack by anti-Soviet forces on Vladivostok...

July 8th, 1981: Soviet action film Tehran '81, makes its hit debut, portraying an assassination attempt against the American President and the Soviet Premier...

January 2nd, 1993: Cyber Weapon Z Soviet "manhua" animated series makes its hit debut,...

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Here are some PODs that should highlight how different some of the pop culture is:

April 15th, 1967: Right-wing activists John Crommelin and Pedro del Valle form the "Sons of Liberty" in Washington D.C.,...

November 6th, 1968: Right-wing activists John Crommelin and Pedro del Valle form the National Youth Alliance (NYA) in Birmingham, Alabama to counter the counterculture movement...

February 15th-17th, 1987: Amerika (ABC-TV) mini-series starring Robert Urich, Mariel Hemingway, and Kris Kristofferson, makes its hit debut with its dystopian vision of Soviet occupation...

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Considering how the Cold War years gave us the best films of Chuck Norris, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, how would their careers have been altered in an ATL where the Cold War lasted longer? The more outrageous, the better!!

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Here are some PODs:

August 5th, 1992: James "Bo" Gritz, a Vietnam war hero admired by many Americans, calls for civilian militias during his "populist" campaign for the presidency.

February 17th, 1995: Some 20,000 people gather in Meadville, Penn., to hear militia figure Mark "Mark from Michigan" Koernke discuss the steps Americans should take to defend themselves from the "New World Order."

April 18th, 1997: A Patriot group files a notice with Maricopa County officials declaring a new "Country of Arizona" supposedly recognized by the United Nations as "Indigenous Nation No. 215."

I've been peeking around and I've noticed this thread. It's very promising but I'd point out is that Dixon's prediction of JFK winning and being assassinated is actually a popular misconception. She has even admitted she saw Nixon winning in 1960. As such the ATL is much more divergent than originally assumed. With that said, would it be acceptable to re-vive this? I have a few ideas for how to make this particularly interesting..

I would certainly be game to seeing what would happen next...
