"200", "201" and "Super Best Friends"

None of those three South Park episodes were ever banned from reruns due to Johnson owning Comedy Central and Tim pointing out that the extremist Muslim website sending the death threat post to Trey Parker and Matt Stone was "the smallest fish in the smallest pond" and an "al-Qaeda wannabe". "200" and "201" were also left almost uncensored aside from the bleeping of some swear words such as the word "fuck", and are available completely uncut on the DVD and on Netflix, right down to Muhammad's presence and Kyle, Jesus, and Santa's speech at the end being completely uncensored. The "Cartoon Wars" two-parter also remains on Netflix.

Adventure Time

The series has many notable differences, due to being a co-production between Cartoon Network Studios, Johnson Television, and Frederator Studios.

• The artstyle is much different, being closer to the Detective Jenny artstyle than the simplistic style of OTL, though still with the dot eyes instead of Detective Jenny's more animesque eyes (dot eyes had actually been considered for Detective Jenny during the character design process).
• Jake is not the deuteragonist, instead being a recurring character (he is still voiced by John DiMaggio). Instead, Fionna is the deuteragonist, being Finn's more cool-headed and slightly wiser twin sister. Finn and Fionna are both voiced by Tim and Chloe Johnson, respectively. In the pilot, Finn is named Pen and voiced by Zack Shada, and Fionna is named Penny and voiced by Liliana Mumy. Both are also depicted as being much smarter than their OTL counterparts, neither use "totally radical" jargon like "Mathematical!" or "Schmow-Zow!", and Finn is depicted as slowly becoming more and more jaded and bitter with his love life, with the events of "Too Young" affecting him for the rest of the third season before meeting Flame Princess in "Incendium".
• The Mushroom War is explicitly stated to have been World War III, fought between NATO and Russia.
• Several of the gender-swapped characters aside from Fionna exist, including Prince Gumball (still voiced by Neil Patrick Harris), who is Princess Bubblegum's younger brother who aspires to be the greatest baker in the land, and Marshall Lee (voiced by Dante Basco), who is Marceline's roommate (their relationship is platonic due to Marceline still harboring feelings for PB). PB and Marcy are still voiced, respectively, by Hynden Walch (Paige Moss in the pilot) and Olivia Olson.
  • Harris incorporated several characteristics of Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother into Prince Gumball, including several phrases such as "Legendary", "Wait for it", "True story", "That's the dream", and "Challenge accepted", and also lives by the "Bro Code" (which he felt he broke following the events of "Too Young", as he wasn't there to stop Lemongrab's takeover, Princess Bubblegum reverting back to her 18-year old form, and Finn's deteriorating mental and emotional state in "The Monster" that causes him to blow up at Lumpy Space Princess for stealing food by pretending to be a monster, and come dangerously close to killing the Fat Villagers when they decide to kill LSP).
• The series has an overarching main antagonist in the form of the Anti-Human League, who wish to destroy all humans for causing mutants to exist.
• Flame Princess is a completely different character. She first appears in the pilot as a nameless Fire Elemental, and appears recurrently throughout the first three seasons, either making small cameos or silently working in the shadows to manipulate events in Finn and Fionna's favor (for example, she directed them towards the Tree Fort in the pilot, threw Marceline out in "Evicted!", among other acts). Flame Princess has very little in common with her OTL counterpart, in that she has two forms: the first is Fire Form, which is made of pure fire; this form can use fire magic without restrictions, but she can't maintain this form indefinitely due to the strain it puts on her body; the other form is Humanoid Form, in which she becomes an orange-skinned, red-haired humanoid (her hairstyle is largely based on Saria's from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time); this form is waterproof and more energy-efficient, but she can't fly, and can't use fire magic at full power for risk of burning herself. Flame Princess lives with Finn and Fionna full-time, and is a character with multiple personalities (though the second two weren't known until the fifth season premiere):
  • Edana (Tara Strong) is the normal, nice personality.
  • Phoebe (Jessica DiCicco) is the second, evil personality. She resembles Edana's Humanoid Form, but with blue skin and white hair. She was a Manchurian Agent planted by Flame King (who looks the same as OTL and is still voiced by Keith David) to one day lead the Fire Kingdom to global conquest. Phoebe was accidentally unleashed by the Lich's mind control in the fifth season premiere, though she nearly surfaced on multiple occasions throughout season four, causing Edana much distress.
  • Chloe (Belle Armstrong) is the dormant, true personality. Chloe is a human born into a family of mages who were killed during the Great Hunt carried out by the Anti-Human League. She was taken by Flame King to be converted into a Fire Person, but it only worked partially. This personality resurfaced when Phoebe was unleashed, and she contacted Finn psychically during a sword duel between him and Phoebe, telling him how to release her. She was fully released when Finn kissed Phoebe on the lips for the first time, but Phoebe is still within her, and they battle for control one last time before Chloe casts a spell on herself to remove the Evil Fire Spirit (Frank Welker), who vows revenge before being trapped in a mason jar (which he claims is his one weakness) by Marceline. Having been born into an influential mage family, Chloe spends most of season five mastering all seven schools of magic, which come in very handy in multiple situations. Because of this, Finn and Flame Princess/Chloe (who, despite popular belief, was not named after Chloe Johnson) never break up.
• The Lich is also a completely different character voiced by Seth MacFarlane. His initial appearance is the same as OTL, but after casting off Billy's skin, he gains a new appearance as a green-skinned humanoid with his horns, but he is stripped back to his pure skeletal form when Phoebe absorbs his power and casts him into Prismo's Time Room. This version of The Lich is a much more humorous character, being based on the Robot Chicken version of Emperor Palpatine. Instead of being the physical embodiment of the Mushroom Bomb (which doesn't exist ITTL), he is a member of an alien race known as the Elkeots, whose planet is dying; they are a race of scientists who are predisposed to genetic modification, hence The Lich's magic. He merely wants to destroy all life on Earth so the Elkeots can mine it for resources to build a fleet of spaceships and find a new homeworld, and he takes no personal pleasure in his task. After the fifth season premiere, he becomes an ally to the heroes.
• Some episodes that are overly-reliant on Jake such as "The Witches Garden", "Freak City", "Gut Grinder", "Her Parents", "Jake vs. Me-Mow", "Paper Pete", "Dad's Dungeon", and "Card Wars" don't exist in the Johnsonverse. Flame Princess-centric episodes such as "Hot to the Touch", "Burning Low", "Ignition Point", "Vault of Bones", and especially "Frost & Fire" and "The Red Throne" also don't exist.
• Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake still exists, but with differences:
  • The differences in TTL's Adventure Time are carried over.
  • As Justin Roiland was never accused of not committed sexual assault, he reprises his role as the Earl of Lemongrab.

Alien 3

Its original screenplay, Alien III, was used as director Willaim Gibson intended. It did not suffer production issues, as Sheldon Johnson, Jr., the director of Return of the Jedi, was also involved as a co-director, writer, and producer. Alien III was released in July 1991 and received critical acclaim. David Fincher's 1992 version does not exist, nor does the comic book.

Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise

Johnson also took over production on the series for the 1991 season, and has been heavily involved in the franchise ever since.

• The show continued airing until 1995, after which various movies and specials were produced.
• The two DTV films Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein and Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman were produced by Johnson and aired as television specials on WBC.
• The live-action movies were completely different. The first one, released on December 12, 2008, stars Steve Carell as Dave, David Cross as Ian Hawke, Jason Lee as Hawke's assistant Josh Owens, Jane Lynch as Dave's boss Gail, and Amy Poehler as Dave's on-and-off girlfriend Claire (whose characterization is completely different); Ross Bagdasarian Jr. and Janice Karman also reprise their roles as the Chipmunks, as well as making physical cameos. The sequel, Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Chipettes, was released on December 16, 2011, with Karman also voicing the Chipettes, and the third and final film, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip, was released on December 19, 2014; all three films lack toilet humor and use better jokes and storytelling, in addition to using the 1960s designs for the Chipmunks (new designs for the Chipettes were produced in this style), traditionally animated.
• Beginning in 2013, a revival (called Alvin and the Chipmunks) has aired on WBC, using traditional animation, different designs than the OTL CGI series (namely, the Chipmunks and Chipettes' designs are modernized versions of their 1980s designs, and Dave's design is from Johnson's two DTV movies), and a larger voice cast. Clyde Crashcup (voiced by Frank Welker) was also brought back. The Chipmunks Go to the Movies was also brought back beginning in January 2016, airing from January to April while the main series airs from September to December.
• In early 2022, Ross Bagdasarian Jr. and Janice Karman sold the franchise to Johnson, stating that the company truly understands their work and its appeal.

The Mini-Munks

In the Johnsonverse, Janice Karman's concept for a preschool series starring younger versions of the Chipmunks was expanded upon, with there being a two-season series of 20 half-hour episodes (10 per season) airing on Sprout from October 15, 2007 to March 20, 2009, produced in association with Johnson Television. Like the 2003 direct-to-video movie Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks (which was released by Johnson instead of Paramount), the chipmunks are puppets in the series. All characters from said movie return here. After the series finished, an hour-long special title “La Lu’s Birthday” was aired later in 2009, making its premiere as a WBC Presents special on July 31st before first airing on Sprout a week later; said special is notable for having appearances from appearances from Sheldon Johnson, Jr., Tammy Jo Johnson (who wrote the episode’s transcript), and their children (including soon-to-be Johnson CEO and President Tim and Chloe) portrayed as partygoers and close friends of La Lu’s. A notable shot featuring them is during the closing song (a shortened reprise of "Friends" from the 2003 direct-to-video ''Mini-Munks'' movie with a new, "grander, arguably more emotional" arrangement), where Chloe wraps her arm around a crying Gilda (who’s crying due to the fact that Lou (who already has his companion, Sam, there to comfort him) is also crying and because of how she feels his crying is ruining the "beautiful music"; she calls Chloe "too kind" in return for the comfort) before noticing that the song is also making Tim emotional (he isn’t nearly crying as hard as Lou or Gilda) and proceeding to wrap her other arm around him; it's been said that while Tim being emotional was supposedly scripted, the scene was actually rather easy to film due to the song actually making the normally-reserved (albeit not as much as his sister) Tim emotional; he has heard the song before while watching the direct-to-video movie (he beleives that while it did make him emotional, the emotions didn't hit him as hard back then), but it's been a long time since he'd last seen it and thus heard the song.

The Amazing World of Gumball

• The Wattersons' eyes from the second season were made permanent rather than becoming round in the third season.
• The full intro is played in US airings.
• The series did not decline, and the meta storyline was moved forward.
• The film came out on Netflix in 2020, resolving the cliffhanger from the finale.

American Dad!

Since Paul Lynde lived to 2021 in the Johnsonverse, he voiced Roger in the first 18 seasons and part of Season 19; Seth MacFarlane took over the role after his death.

Many changes also came to the show beginning in its seventeenth season:

• The series returned to Fox, though the cold opens and credits running through the ending on the bottom-left corner are carried over from the TSS era.
• As with Family Guy and The Simpsons, the animation is now more fluid, and is provided by Johnson Television Animation.
• Mike Barker returned, and his characters (such as Terry and Sanders) were reinstated.
• The writing style returned to that of the pre-TSS era.
• Several characters such as Akiko, Bob and Linda Memari, Duper, Lorraine, and Reggie (among others) were once again made recurring characters instead of minor or background characters; it was explained that Steve and Akiko's romance continued offscreen (though on an on-again, off-again basis until the seventeenth season) in the years she was relegated to rare non-speaking roles.

On a side note, the series airs in Japan as a dubbed version; said version has Toshi speaking English instead of Japanese (voiced by Ben Diskin). Also, Francine (Gabriela Gómez) and Steve (Gabriel Ortiz) weren't recast in the Latin American Spanish dub (which retains the neutral Spanish dubbing of OTL).

Amphibia

• The season 2 finale wasn't pulled in the US.

Animaniacs (2020)

The series is somewhat the same, except that, due to airing on The Hub (where reruns of the original aired for a few years IOTL) instead of Hulu, Tim requested several changes:

• Tom Ruegger was brought back, this time as the showrunner, along with much of the original writers and creative team, and as a result, the show doesn't rely on topical humor as heavily. Tim is also an executive producer, alongside Steven Spielberg, Sam Register, and Amblin Television co-presidents Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank.
• All side characters such as Hello Nurse (who is now the head of the studio due to Plotz' retirement), Minerva Mink, Slappy and Skippy (the latter now being an adult who wants his aunt to move out), Rita and Runt, Mindy and Buttons (the former is also an adult; her spot is taken by her daughter Mandy, while Mindy herself replaces her mother, who had passed away; unlike her mother, though, Mindy yells at Mandy instead of Buttons, due to the fact Mindy did the same thing at her age), the Goodfeathers (whose activities are now on the down-low due to the post-9/11 culture of paranoia), Colin (again, who is also now an adult, though he still talks about an offscreen Randy Beaman), and Chicken Boo were brought back, all with the original actors returning, among many other characters.
• Additional segments such as "Good Idea, Bad Idea" were also brought back.
• The theme song uses much of the original lyrics (though the line "The writers flipped, we have no script, why bother to rehearse?" was changed to "Meet Ralph and Dr. Scratchansniff, say hi to Hello Nurse" from the Season 3 version, "Buttons chases Mindy" became "Buttons chases Mandy", "While Bill Clinton plays the sax/"We got wisecracks by the slacks"/"We pay tons of income tax" was still changed to "Our careers have made comebacks", and "We have pay-or-play contracts" was still changed to "You should see our new contracts"), meaning that the line "Dot is cute" was never changed; the visuals better match those of the original intro as well. The verses from the theme song IOTL ("A brand new cast who tested well in focus group research, gender-balanced, pronoun-neutral, and ethnically diverse! The trolls will say we're so passé, but we did meta first!") were instead used in a skit designed to mock PC culture in which the Warners are forced by several particularly intimidating studio executives to cater to PC culture until Hello Nurse fires the executives responsible.
• The animation is also much more fluid, and the opening has shading.
• Its composer is Richard Stone (who is still alive ITTL).
• The credits gag was brought back.
• The series was renewed to a fourth season.

Animator credits on Netflix series

Netflix requires all animated series to credit individual animators instead of just the studio providing animation services.

Anime in general

In the Johnsonverse, anime is the catch-all term for animation produced by studios based in the Japanese States, including animation, writing, and staff. Voice-acting for anime is typically done in the Mainland States in California, Texas, and New York. The quality of anime voice-acting is much, much higher ITTL, mainly because the talent pool is much, much larger; it's common to hear Mainland-based actors such as John DiMaggio and Tara Strong in anime, though iconic performances such as Peter Fernandez as Speed Racer, Steve Blum as Spike Spiegel, Wendee Lee as Haruhi Suzumiya, and Justin Briner as Izuku Midoriya are still extant in the Johnsonverse.

Because of how frequently Japanese States-based studios work on Mainland States-produced shows, the line between "anime" and "animation" is frequently blurred. For example, it is a matter of debate as to whether or not Detective Jenny is an anime, as the two studios that animate it (Toei Animation and TMS Entertainment) are based in the Japanese States, and both use an artstyle heavily influenced by anime (though with subtle differences that allow viewers to discern which studio does a given episode). Other Mainland-produced series such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Teen Titans, ThunderCats (2011), and RWBY further blur this line.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force

ATHF wasn't canceled; it still airs on the Adult Swim channel, as well as reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Alone Time block. The eleventh season was instead titled Aqua TiVo Avoidance Plan., and the twelfth season onwards revert to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force title and opening (though remastered) and closing sequences.

Also, cold opens involving Dr. Weird and Steve were later reinstated.

Archer

The thirteenth season was the series' last; an Archer film aired on FXX in 2023 instead of season 14 to serve as the series finale.

Artemis Fowl (2020)

The film was directed by Tim. Because of this, the film is vastly different from OTL:

At the Movies (1986)

The series is also produced by WBC instead of ABC. Ebert never had cancer in the thyroid and salivary glands, and therefore never had to have his lower jaw removed, and Gene Siskel never had his fatal tumor. Both are still alive, and review movies on Siskel & Ebert. The Siskel & Ebert archives were not taken down. Because the show wasn't canceled, Ebert Presents At the Movies doesn't exist, and its critics (Christy Lemire and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky) are part of sister show The Critic Roundtable, which has aired in syndication since 2009 and also features TCM's Ben Mankiewicz, A.O. Scott from The New York Times, and Elvis Mitchell, who had filled in for Gene Siskel on Roger Ebert & the Movies in real life. Richard Roeper and Michael Phillips host Roeper & Phillips, which has aired since 1999. The intro for both incarnations recalls the Siskel & Ebert intro, and the series used the set introduced on Ebert & Roeper IOTL from 2001-10; since then, the Ebert Presents At the Movies set from OTL has been used. The real-life Roger Ebert & the Movies theme is used on Siskel & Ebert, and the Ebert & Roeper theme IOTL is used during the cold open, when Siskel and Ebert announce three of the week's five movies.

Avatar franchise (James Cameron)

It has many differences due to Johnson co-producing the series alongside 20th Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment:

• The franchise is titled Pandora instead of Avatar to avoid confusion with Avatar: The Last Airbender. Because of this, M. Night Shyamalan's 2009 adaptation of the latter has the full name (though it's still often described as “one of the worst movies ever made”).
• The franchise uses the "Pandora" portion of the Pandora – The World of Avatar logo, with the Toruk font (which was designed in 2009 instead of 2018 ITTL) used for Na'vi subtitles and other applications.
• The first movie's plot is somewhat different (being less derivative of films such as FernGully: The Last Rainforest, Pocahontas, and Dances with Wolves, as well as avoiding white savior undertones and having significantly less clichés), and the characters more memorable and fleshed out. Most notably, the subplot of Jake Sully acting as a double agent for the military and the Na'vi and the Na'vi rejecting him after he reveals this does not exist. Also, its final battle is much better.
• It's made clearer that Unobtanium is just a joke nickname given by the military; its real name is revealed to be Onnium, after Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. It's also explained in the film (rather than supplemental material) that Onnium is a room-temperature superconductor.
• Rather than being played by Sam Worthington, Jake Sully is played by Jason Momoa.
• More creative designs for the creatures of Pandora.
• James Horner didn't die in a plane crash in 2015, meaning he was able to compose the Pandora sequels.
• Pandora - The World of Avatar (instead named The World of Pandora) is very different: for one, plans to include it at Disney's Animal Kingdom were scrapped in favor of building Beastly Kingdom as planned, and it eventually opened at Johnson World's World of Fox section in 2022. Also, practical effects are emphasized over digital effects, and Alpha Centauri Expeditions has many AnimeTronic Na'vi characters.
• The Way of Water has several differences:
  • The film is fully shot at 48 FPS instead of alternating between 24 and 48 FPS.
  • The terms "bro" and "cuz" are not used, with new words made up in their place.
  • Sigourney Weaver's voice for Kiri is altered to sound younger.
  • Jake and his family learning how to live in the sea from the Metkayina Clan is more distinct from Jake learning from the Na'vi in the first movie.
  • Neytiri has about as much screentime as Jake and the kids.
  • Spider gets more screentime (along with scenes of him contemplating his relationship with Quaritch).
  • The military is still looking for Onnium (and further explanation is given as to its importance) along with the Tulkun body liquid.
  • The Metkayina clan plays a key role in the final battle.
  • The subplot of Jake and Neytiri's children struggling to fit among their Metkayina counterparts isn't as clichéd.
  • The recombinant soldiers aren't taken out as easily.
  • Mo'at's relationship with her grandchildren is seen in greater depth.

Balan Wonderworld

Because Yuji Naka is still with Sega after Johnson acquired it in 2002, the game was released by Sega instead of Square Enix, and is markedly different.

• The gameplay and artwork are less dated, and the level design is improved.
• The game wasn't released until 2022, and many of its bugs were fixed.
• The controls are refined.
• The game doesn't force players to unlock all the costumes, which are more useful.
• Its plot is different.
• The minigames are different.
• Drops have a purpose in-game.
• The execution of the Tims is different.
• The bosses are refined.
• Give the game more levels.
• The voices are done in different languages, rather than gibberish.
• The soundtrack is more original.
• Its price is far less expensive.

Barney & Friends

When Johnson acquired Lyrick in 1996 and took control of the series in season 4, many changes were made:

• Starting in season 4, the style of the show was changed. While the show remains relatively lighthearted, it also assists children in learning to deal with negative feelings and/or emotions. It also remains at the school and treehouse instead of the park, though the tire swing is reinstated. Also, child characters behave closer to actual children, and have different personalities and cultures.
• The 1995 opening (though the footage changes each season to reflect the child cast changing), Barney Says graphics, and credits were retained until season 6; Bob Singleton's opening and closing theme arrangements are still used to this day.
• Barney also doesn't talk to the audience outside of Barney Says from season 7 onward, nor does the show switch to a two-segment format or focus on the dinosaurs over the children in season 10.
• Mr. Boyd remains on the series as a recurring character, and Mr. Copeland is instead a teacher.
• Duncan Brannan became the speaking and singing voice for Barney in the 2000-2002 videos (instead of Brannan only doing the singing and Tim Dever doing the speaking) until Season 22, when Bob West returned to the role for the franchise's 30th anniversary. Dean Wendt instead performs an adult character named Mr. Calloway (who works as another teacher). Carey Stinson still took over as Barney's suit actor in the seventh season.
• Miss Etta Kette, Scooter McNutty, and Booker T. Bookworm were retained from season 7 on. After the retirement of Miss Etta's performer Brice Armstrong in 2009, R. Bruce Elliott (who previously played Mr. Tenagain in "Having Tens of Fun" and Ryan's grandfather in "Grandpa's Visit") replaced him in the role beginning in season 15 (Armstrong had already recorded material as the character for the previous season before his retirement). Todd Duffey and Earl Fisher still perform Scooter and Booker, respectively. A fourth puppet, Haven Huffenpuff was added in season 17; she's a competitive, athletic blue wolf performed by Kate Bristol, and a fifth puppet character named Cowan Overmoon (a Telly Monster-esque neurotic cow) was added in season 22, performed by Brannan.
• Stephen White and Mark S. Bernthal remain as writers, and became head writers in the seventh season.
• Barney himself remains goofy and childlike instead of taking more of a teacher/mentor role; as a result, Carey Stinson's body performance is much closer to David Joyner rather than only having three main movements (putting his hands together, stretching out his hand, and springing back and bouncing back up). Also, his costume since the seventh season resembles the season six costume, though the feet are attached to the rest of the body (similar to OTL's season 13 costume), and his blinking mechanism was reinstated (the other dinosaurs also gained blinking mechanisms); said costume is smoother and more polished as well. Also, the season six doll is still used.
• Barney Says is present in seasons nine through eleven, as well as season thirteen. The 2002 Barney Says intro is reshot with the same background as the opening and closing, and since season 15, it once again involves Barney walking into frame outside the school after the title card flies away; this footage is refilmed each season.
• The season 7-14 intro has some differences:
  • The opening animation is similar to the season 3-6 intro, though with the new background and the kids being multi-colored.
  • The intro itself is similar to earlier seasons, but with different title cards.
  • The final clip is still Barney as a doll on a tire swing, with a rainbow forming above him.
  • Due to the lack of the "two shorts" format, the title card remains at the end instead of clips of Barney transforming from a doll.
  • The title card font (as well as the credits) from seasons seven through nine is Dom Casual instead of Comic Sans. BarneyWorld is still introduced in season ten.
• Riff still exists, but with some differences.
• The opening and closing visuals were changed in 2011 (the rap theme was never made). The season 14 opening is the same as the one from seasons 7-13, albeit with new clips. Here are descriptions of those openings:
  • Seasons 15-21: The opening is a modernized version of the one from the first six seasons: it begins with Barney and the kids' silhouettes marching into the screen above the title, stopping as the drum stops (and the baby at the end of the lineup pulling the duck into frame in time with the music), with a multi-colored frame appearing and remaining for the rest of the opening. The title card turns like a page to show a clip of the child cast gathering around Barney, who transforms from a doll into a full-sized dinosaur, and hugging him, followed by various clips of Barney, the kids, BJ, Baby Bop, Riff, Mr. Boyd, Mr. Calloway, Miss Etta, Scooter, Haven (from season 17 onward), and other characters. After the last line, the episode's title card appears with the title under the silhouette of Barney and the children, before it turns to the episode and the frame zooms in.
  • Season 22-present: Similar to the previous opening; this time, the backdrop for the title card is reminiscent of the first six seasons (with the stars' colors representing Barney, Baby Bop, BJ, and Riff). The title card flies away as in the second and third season openings, albeit with rainbow sparkle effects instead of trailing effects and the frame remaining for the rest of the opening. After the last line "If you just make believe him", the episode's title card appears with the title under the silhouette of Barney and the children, before the episode title card flies away (in a similar manner to the second and third seasons) and the frame's sides zoom out of frame.
• The credits are still shown in front of children's paintings (which, as in the first season, vary depending on the episode's topic starting in the fourth season).
• Barney's Birthday Bash uses costumes resembling the ones from the television series.
• After Irene Corey Design Associates (which designed and built the Barney, Baby Bop and BJ costumes) closed in 2015, Scollon Mascots (which constructed Barney costumes for various stage shows) became the new costume builder.
• A 30th anniversary special aired in 2018, with many actors who had appeared on the show as children returning.
• A second feature film, Barney Goes to The City, is set for release on Netflix in mid-2023, written by Stephen White and Mark S. Bernthal; Selena Gomez reprises her role as Gianna in this film.
• Because the original series is still running, the upcoming 2024 CGI reboot does not exist.
• Real-life versions of the Barney dolls seen on the show were released in 2013 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the franchise. 1,988 (representing the year the series began) dolls were created, with 994 of them based on the original 1988 doll, and the other 994 based on the modern doll.
• A Day in the Park with Barney was moved from Universal Studios Florida to Johnson World and Johnson World Florida in September 2021, retaining the original soundtrack.

Battle Kitty

The series was renewed for another season, and was not deleted from Netflix.

Beat the Clock

Beat the Clock was revived in 2002, though with some changes:

• The series aired on WBC instead of PAX.
• Mark L. Walberg, not Gary Kroeger is the host; Kroeger is the series' announcer.
• The gunge remains in this version, and a physical clock is used rather than a digital one.

Beavis and Butt-Head

• The fire controversy still happened, and the episodes were altered to remove references to fire, except the original master tapes weren't edited, and new masters for the censored versions were made.
• A Complete Series boxset was released in 2008 after Sheldon convinced Mike Judge to allow the earliest episodes to be released. It was re-released in 2016, now including the 2011 revival.
• The 2011 revival ran until 2015. Daria Morgendorffer returned for the revival (once again voiced by Tracy Grandstaff), though her family is not shown.
• The 2022 revival is traditionally animated instead of using Flash animation, and the characters retain the 2011 revival's artstyle (though with brighter colors) instead of an Archer style. Also, there are more characters from the original series present beyond the title characters, David Van Driessen, Tom Anderson and his wife, and an adult Stewart Stevenson, including Principal McVicker, Coach Buzzcut, and Daria.

Big Mouth

This show was rejected for similar reasons to Cuties (as shown on its section). It instead aired on Amazon Prime, but was quickly canceled after a single season, due to Johnson (which owns competitor eBay) threatening to pull its retail products from Amazon’s main online shopping business if the show was renewed.

Chloe Johnson instead created a show with a similar premise (teenagers go through puberty with the hormones being symbolized by monsters) called Awkward Times.

Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer

The series was renewed for additional seasons.

Blackout

In this timeline, Blackout lasted much longer than 13 weeks.

• The show was able to find an audience and was able to be cleared on more affiliates than it did IOTL. As such it did not get replaced by The $25,000 Pyramid, the same show that it replaced, since Family Feud ended up on WBC.
• The show uses a money format similar to The $25,000 Pyramid for its bonus round instead of having it played for a flat $10,000. The first game is played for $10,000, the second is played for $15,000 (if the first one was won) or $25,000 (if the first one was lost), and then the third and after is played for $50,000 for a possible grand total of $75,000 (CBS' winning cap at the time). This was later raised to $25,000 for the first game, and then $50,000 for all games after. Contestants would then be retired after winning $125,000 (CBS' raised winnings cap) or winning five games and retiring undefeated. The winnings cap would be retired in 2006 as it was IOTL.
• Bob Goen hosted the show until his move to the WBC daytime version of Wheel of Fortune in July 1989, with Michael Burger replacing him.
• Johnny Gilbert returned to the show after recovering from his illness in April 1988 and announced until May 1991, when he left to announce for the short-lived John Davidson version of The $100,000 Pyramid. He was replaced by Burton Richardson until he went over to announce Family Feud in 1996, and currently by Mark Driscoll.
• Every five years, a tournament is held between undefeated 5-day contestants playing for a cash prize of $100,000. This was raised to $250,000 starting with the 2008 tournament (the first one held after the retirement of the winnings cap).
• The show changed its set in 1994 and in 2003. In 2009, the show started broadcasting in HD, which led to another new set and a remixed version of the show's theme song. The set was replaced again in 2017.
• Celebrity weeks are occasionally held every so often until the debut of Celebrity Blackout.
• In 2019, CBS greenlit a primetime celebrity series of Blackout titled Celebrity Blackout, which was paired up with Celebrity Now You See It. The show is an hour long and features two games, the first one being played for $100,000 for charity, and the second one being played for $250,000, with each celebrity being guaranteed $50,000 for their charity.
• Reruns of the show have aired on GSN since 1996.

Bluey: The Videogame

• The game was developed by Australia-based Krome Studios instead of the Spanish Artax Games, and published by Johnson Games instead of Outright Games.
• There are more episodes, as well as more Bluey characters.
• There aren't as many glitches.
• The cutscenes' animation is closer in style to the series.
• Chilli doesn't pester the player to go to the next level until they finish the story, and she has more dialogue lines for when the player collects a sticker.

Bob the Builder franchise

• The series still uses the stop-motion style instead of CGI and continues to this day. Because of this, the 2015 reboot doesn't exist.
• The UK dub is aired in the US, instead of a separate dub being produced.
• Muck is female like in OTL's US version; she's voiced by Sophie Aldred, who voiced the character in OTL's Ready, Steady, Build! seasons in the US.
• There are slightly more voice actors than IOTL, including Jo Wyatt as Dizzy, Robert Powell as Lofty, and Jimmy Hibbert as Travis.

Bob's Burgers

• After Jay Johnston (voice of Jimmy Pesto) was fired for his participation of the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, Eric Bauza was confirmed as his replacement earlier than IOTL, voicing Jimmy in the twelfth season and The Bob's Burgers Movie.
• The George Floyd protest-related recastings didn't happen.
• The Bob's Burgers Movie got more marketing and exposure, and didn't lose money at the box office.

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

Tim managed to get Pixar's permission to release all 62 episodes of the series in a "Complete Series" boxset in 2015, along with its pilot movie, The Adventure Begins. Both the movie and series are also available on Netflix, and received a segment in the 2022 documentary Beyond Infinity (which is not subtited Buzz and the Journey to Lightyear ITTL).

Also, a 10-episode second season subtitled Beyond the Horizons was released on Netflix in 2018, set several years after the original series and with much of the original voice cast reprising their roles (though Tim Allen and Jeff Pidgeon return to their respective roles as Buzz and the LGMs from the films, while Bobby Moynihan replaces the late Stephen Furst as Booster), alongside new characters; this season also features a continuity arc. The third and final season, subtitled The Final Fight, was released in 2020, also consisting of ten half-hour episodes, as well as an hour-long series finale titled "Zurg's Last Call".

The Buzz on Maggie

The show aired on WBC Kids instead of Disney Channel, and got MUCH better treatment, getting more seasons and continuing to 2012.

Caillou

The series still exists and ran for five seasons until 2010, but Johnson Television (which owns CINAR), unsatisfied with the first season (citing a variety of issues such as "an unlikable protagonist who encourages children to throw temper tantrums and is almost never even called out"), took over production from the second season on, instituting massive changes (the Caillou Gets Grounded videos still exist in the Johnsonverse, with the revived ShowBiz Pizza Place often depicted as a restaurant Caillou hates but the rest of his family loves).

• Caillou's habit of throwing temper tantrums was scaled back significantly, and he behaves more like a realistic four-year-old child, with tantrums only being occasional at most.
• Caillou’s parents are far less sugary and far more genuine; they are also much better parents who don’t give in to their son whenever he throws a fit.

Caillou's New Adventures and the CGI reboot series don't exist.

Calvin and Hobbes

Bill Watterson worked out a deal where Johnson would make an animated series, but the only merchandise would be home media and the existing comic strip collections. The animated series originally aired from 1990 to 2006, with a revival starting in 2017 and continuing to today. The comic strips ended at the same time as IOTL.

Cancelled Popeye film

During production, the film's rights were acquired by Johnson after facing multiple delays. It was released on July 31, 2015 and stars Tom Kenny as Popeye and Grey DeLisle as Olive Oyl, and is essentially a finished version of the leaked animatic.

Card Sharks

While the 1978 version is the same as how it was in our timeline, the 1986 daytime version is hosted by Bruce Forsyth (host of the UK version, Play Your Cards Right, who was considered to host IOTL) instead of Bob Eubanks. As such, the CBS daytime version was referred to as Bruce Forsyth's Card Sharks while the syndicated version and merchandise continued to use the original name. Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak was instead hosted by Gene Rayburn (who hosted the 1983 Party Line pilot), and is just referred to as Hot Streak.

The infamous 2001 revival of Card Sharks is completely different:

• This version aired on WBC instead of syndication.
• The theme song and opening, format, and logo are all the same as the Jim Perry version; the car game from the Bob Eubanks version is present.
• The design of the cards is the same as in the Perry and Eubanks/Rafferty versions.
• Rich Fields is the host, with Gary Kroeger as the announcer. The dealers are TBA.
• From 2001 to 2008, the set was a replica of the Jim Perry version's set; in 2008, it was replaced with a modernized version with LED lighting. Since 2019, the set has looked like this.
• Rather than the cards turning with a mechanism, Fields turns the cards himself like in prior versions.
• This version still airs to this day, and the 2019 ABC version doesn't exist.

Cars 3

• Mia and Tia make a cameo when Lightning notices the Next-Gen racers replacing the older racers, and have come to wish Lightning good luck; they have long grown out of their "giddy fangirl" personas from the first two movies, though they still work as waitresses at Flo's V8 Cafe.
• The racing museum from the epilogue of the first movie (which was a disused motel) and Lightning's racing headquarters in Race-O-Rama return here.
• Francesco Bernoulli also makes a cameo in the movie, appearing in an interview Lightning watches.
• Jackson Storm has a more complex personality. It's hinted that he's putting up his "cocky" facade because Storm is afraid of failure.
• The movie has an epilogue during the credits, like the first movie.
• Sterling's fate is alluded to in the epilogue, which has him with Rusty and Dusty on vacation at the beach.
• Lightning's racing getup in the flashbacks with Doc (outside of scenes from the first movie) is his getup from the end of the first movie.
• The Florida 500 scene uses the scrapped ending in which Lightning (in his "Fabulous Lightning McQueen" paint scheme) wins the race, but chooses to retire from racing afterward to focus on mentoring Cruz and acting as her crew chief, as it was seen as the antithesis to Cal Weathers' "The youngsters'll tell you" line. The final scene still involves Lightning and Cruz racing each other in Radiator Springs.

Cars on the Road

The series does not exist. Instead, a miniseries focusing on Cruz and Lightning set after Cars 3 was released titled Cars: Next-Gen, in which Lightning acts as a crew chief and mentor to Cruz, who is learning the ins and outs of racing, similar to Doc and Lightning's dynamic from Cars. Several real-world NASCAR drivers make cameo appearances aside from the drivers who previously appeared in Cars 3 (whose numbers were updated to reflect their real-world numbers in 2022), including Adam Weathers (Cal's son, voiced by Adam Petty), Rowdy Revvin' Busch (voiced by Kyle Busch), William Byrev (voiced by William Byron), Macy Cartrip (Darrell's niece, voiced by Macy Waltrip), GoGo Logano (voiced by Joey Logano), Carstin "Ace" Dillon (voiced by Austin Dillon), and Aric Almirolling (voiced by Aric Almirola).

Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue

While the special is mostly the same as IOTL, a notable difference is that Chocodile (with his traditional appearance as opposed to his Cool Adventures appearance) appears in place of the animated version of ALF. No other Johnsontoons characters make appearances, although Larry J. Crock is mentioned, with Chocodile threatening to make Garfield "Larry’s lunch" if he doesn’t help him early in the special. Various Johnsontoons fans took both Chocodile taking on his traditional appearance and neither Vanillagator nor Caracaiman being in the special as a sign that Phil Stacker felt regret for Cool Adventures even happening, which was eventually confirmed to be true.

Cats (2019)

The film was made by Johnson instead of Universal, and directed by Tim Johnson instead of Tom Hooper. As a result, there are innumerable differences from the original:

• Rather than CGI fursuits, all actors wear actual suits and makeup. Also, their appearances are identical to their stage counterparts.
• None of the cast is the same between OTL and TTL. Some major changes include:
  • Betty Buckley as Grizabella
  • Tim Curry as Old Deuteronomy
  • Brian Blessed as Bustopher Jones
  • Susan Jane Tanner as Jellylorum
  • Tim Johnson as Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat
  • John Legend as Rum Tum Tugger
  • John Cleese as Gus the Theater Cat
• All songs are in their original keys and presented as how they were originally staged.
• Rather than being one of Macavity's minions, Growltiger remains a fictional character played by Gus in "Growltiger's Last Stand".
• The entire movie takes place in a junkyard instead of around pre-war London, and the Jellicle Cats' scale is much larger, around the size of an average housecat instead of the Lilliputian scale seen in the film IOTL.
• The song "Beautiful Ghosts" does not exist. "The Dreadful Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles", and by extension, the original version of the Great Rumpus Cat, is used instead.
• "The Ad-dressing of Cats" doesn't take four minutes to complete, as Tim Curry doesn't have macular degeneration like Judi Dench did at the time.
• As a result of being so divorced from the Tom Hooper version, the film did much better at the box office and was much better-received, often being cited as one of the best adaptations of a musical ever made, and won an Academy Award in 2020. Cats writer Andrew Lloyd Webber also approved this version.

The Challengers

The Challengers had a longer run than what it had IOTL, with some notable differences.

• Instead of debuting in syndication, the show instead debuted on WBC in September 1990 at the 3:00 PM timeslot, with Dick Clark remaining as host; however, John Harlan was the announcer due to Don Morrow remaining as announcer on Sale of The Century.
• The series used its original format with no budget cuts, and the Ultimate Challenge in its second progressive jackpot format (win three consecutive games to play for $25,000 plus $1,000 every day until won).
• The series aired on WBC until August 1995, when it moved into evening syndication, and being aired on the WBC O&Os in the major markets. The series also debuted a new set, intro, and graphics package (but retained the theme song) upon moving to syndication. The intro and graphics change each season (similar to Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!).
• Starting in the 2001-2002 season, the clue values in the main round and the base value of the sprint round were doubled, and the Ultimate Challenge was raised in value to $100,000, plus $10,000 for each day it is not won due to an increase in million-dollar game shows. It was raised again at the start of the 2007-2008 season to $250,000, plus $10,000 for each day it is not won.
• Dick Clark hosted the show until his stroke in December 2004. Following the airing of episodes taped before the stroke, CBS sportscaster Greg Gumbel filled in as host until Clark recovered from his stroke. Clark later announced his retirement from the show at the beginning of the 2005-2006 season, with Gumbel being selected as his successor. This season also debuted a remixed version of the theme song, a new set, a new intro, and a new graphics package.
• In 2008, the show starts broadcasting in HD, with a new set introduced in 2009. The set was changed again in 2016 along with another remixed version of the theme.
• John Harlan retired from announcing the show in 2015. Art Sanders succeeded him in the role starting in Season 26.
• Starting in 2017, a celebrity version, known as Celebrity Challengers, started airing on Sundays during the summer on WBC, with celebrity contestants being guaranteed a minimum of $25,000 for their charities, and the Ultimate Challenge was played for a flat $100,000. Due to the show being an hour long, two games are played with the same celebrity contestants.
• Board games and video games released for SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, N64, PS1, PS2, and GameCube featuring Clark's likeness and PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, and Wii U featuring Gumbel's likeness were released over the years.
• Reruns of the WBC version run aired on GSN from 1997 to 2007, with reruns of the first three syndicated seasons (1995-1998) included from 2002-2007. Reruns from seasons 20 to 22 (2010-2012) were aired from 2012-2017, and then reruns of the WBC daytime series, the syndicated version pre-2017, and Celebrity Challengers were aired starting in 2022.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget

• Julia Sawalha reprises her role as Ginger instead of Thandiwe Newton, while Timothy Spall and Phil Daniels voice Nick and Fletcher, respectively, rather than being replaced by Romesh Ranganathan and Daniel Mays. Rocky is still voiced by Zachary Levi instead of Mel Gibson due to the latter's various controversies. Fowler is still voiced by David Bradley instead of Benjamin Whitrow, who had died in 2017. This was at the request of Netflix (which is owned by Johnson ITTL), with Tim Johnson telling Aardman that "just because (Sawalha) is older doesn't mean she still can't do Ginger well".
• John Powell also returned as composer alongside Harry Gregson-Williams. Also, the kazoo choir was carried over from the first film.
• It has a much stronger storyline and jokes.
• Characters aren't solely used for gags.

Chibi Tiny Tales and Chibiverse

Neither series exists ITTL.

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)

The film is split into two: a film much more faithful to the TV series written and directed by Robert Rugan that came out in 2018, and a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit titled Roger Rabbit II that came out in 2022.

Roger Rabbit II

• The plot is much more complex (there is also some notable influence from Fireside Mailwoman, except the main characters from said show don’t have any particularly notable role due to being live-action). Much of the plot revolves around a "race war" between Traditional Toons (2D) and Digital Toons (3D) instigated by Baron von Rotten, the true identity of Judge Doom, with the ultimate goal of destroying all Traditional Toons because they're "tired and dated", while Digital Toons are "hip and edgy"; Baron von Rotten is traditionally-animated (which makes him a hypocrite), with Christopher Lloyd reprising his role. Roger Rabbit (Charles Fleischer) plays a major role in the film, at one point wishing Eddie Valiant were still alive to solve the disappearances (the film is dedicated in Bob Hoskins' memory). Part of the conflict involves Chip and Dale (the latter of whom has still gotten his "CGI Surgery" before being made aware of the situation, much to the discomposure of several other 2D characters, including Chip himself at first) hitting so many dead ends that Team Jenny takes over the case, especially when they prove ineffective at breaking up a standoff between Traditional and Digital Toons, which causes Jenny (Tara Strong) to have to fire her gun in the air to get their attention, even saying "fuck" multiple times while ranting about how stupid the entire "race war" is, but getting censored by Ruby Rose (Lindsay Jones) adjusting Penny Polendina's (Taylor McNee) systems to better kill Digital Toons, which causes an even bigger uproar since both Ruby and Penny were created as Digital Toons and somehow got a reverse CGI Surgery for Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Space War; the fighting erupts anew when Rei Ayanami (Amanda Winn-Lee) gets into a shouting match with Shrek (Mike Myers), tries and fails to shoot him while Shrek snarks about her terrible aim, and shouts "THE RACE WAR STARTS NOW!!!!". While the Rescue Rangers prove they still have it, the day is saved by other heroes. Baron von Rotten dispatches the One-Eyes to unleash a massive Dip-spewing machine on Toontown, but it falls apart completely when Tack uses the exact same tactic he used to destroy the original war machine (while the Thief tries to steal some gold-painted balls on the machine used for decoration, thinking they are real gold; this sequence reused a good deal of animation from The Thief and the Cobbler: Director's Cut, with Tim Johnson stating in an interview "We're gonna get our money's worth out of Richard's animation, dammit!"). He also unleashes a Dip-spewing kaiju, which is defeated by Godzilla. He then tries to use the original Dip Machine from 1947, but finds that Double D (Samuel Vincent) disassembled the engine ahead of time and drained the Dip. Finally, he is cornered by the Rescue Rangers, but Jenny is ultimately the one who kills him by shooting him with a Super Soaker filled with Dip. Pluto (instead of Sweet Pete/Peter Pan due to the latter's backstory being too similar to the life of his original voice actor, Bobby Driscoll, that culminated in his 1968 death) is a side villain who serves as a Red Herring, making bootleg toons because he was blackmailed by the North Chinese government for associating with Winnie the Pooh. Once he learns of the race war, he drops his bootlegging operation like a bad habit and joins the heroes.
• Blaster has a small speaking role, being voiced by Buster Jones via VoxMutatio.
• Garfield also makes an appearance, with Lorenzo Music reprising his role.
• As the live-action remake of The Lion King does not exist in the Johnsonverse, Pumbaa is depicted as his 1994 self, voiced by Ernie Sabella. A scene lampshading how several characters voiced by Dana Snyder sound virtually the same (such as Chocodile from Johnsontoons, Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Gazpacho from Chowder, Scratch from The Ghost and Molly McGee, Wendell Wasserman from Welcome to the Wayne, etc.) is present.
• Several characters have different voices from OTL, including:
  • Lumiere is voiced by Jerry Orbach via VoxMutatio
  • Bootleg Bart Simpson is voiced by Nancy Cartwright (trying to imitate somebody doing a bad impression of her character)
  • He-Man is voiced by John Erwin
  • Batman is voiced by Kevin Conroy
  • Monterey Jack is voiced by Peter Cullen
• Ugly Sonic doesn't exist due to the Sonic design debacle never happening.
• The CGI is much better, and almost all 2D animation is done traditionally instead of being 3D models with a 2D style.
• Characters from other Johnson properties (including those from Cartoon Network, Hasbro, HiT Entertainment, Sega, Capcom, Paws Inc., 20th Century Fox, and Blue Sky, among other Johnson-owned companies) also make cameo appearances in the film, with the main cast of Detective Jenny being major players (to the point the film was nicknamed Detective Jenny: The Thirteenth-And-A-Half Movie by the production staff).
• Gadget is NOT married to Zipper. Both end up with different spouses instead (Gadget with Chip, Zipper with another member of his species). Also, they have more screentime due to being main characters in the series.
• Character cameos align better with the time period (for example, no random Simpsons characters appear in 1982).

Cinderella remaster

In 2015, as part of the 65th anniversary of the film, Johnson released a remastered version that restores all of the original colors, backgrounds, outlines, and magic dust, replacing the infamous 2005 remaster.

Clarence

The series is 99% the same as IOTL (Skyler Page is still fired), but with one difference. In the episode Lil' Buddy, there is a parody of the song "Strange Things" from Toy Story called "Weird Stuff". Since Johnson owns both Disney and Cartoon Network, ITTL, "Strange Things" is used in the Johnsonverse version of the episode, despite the fact the lyrics are from Woody's POV and not Clarance's. Here is a mockup of what this looks and sounds like.

Clone High

Since MTV never shut down its animation division, Clone High continued for four more seasons until 2007. The 2023 revival does not exist, as a result.

Close Enough

The series airs on Adult Swim instead of HBO Max, and was renewed for additional seasons instead of being canceled in 2022. The Regular Show revival doesn't exist, as a result.

Club Penguin

It was not shut down, and is still active to this day.

Command & Conquer franchise

As Johnson owns Westwood Studios, the series has seen massive changes:

• The first three games, Generals, and the Red Alert games are the same. Generals: Zero Hour is released with all of its cut content intact, and the story is better explained. Also in the Generals games, China is North China, while South China is a subfaction of the United States.
• The fourth game, Tiberian Storm, was released in 2010.
• Command & Conquer: Generals 2 (which went unreleased IOTL) was released in 2014. Set after the events of Zero Hour, the game focuses on the fallout of the Global War on Terror, including Europe's rebuilding, the formation of the European Continental Alliance (ECA), the ECA's invasion of North Africa known as Operation Nemesis, Russia's economic boom following massive fuel sales to Europe, the United States' return to the global stage with the formation of the North American Union and eventually a new American-led military alliance known as the New Entente, and the GLA's re-emergence and takeover of Africa, ultimately leading to the African Resource Rush that ushers in a new era of neocolonialism, hyper-militarism, and widespread nuclear proliferation.
• The fifth game, Tiberian Conquest, was released in 2015, and added the True World Empire (TWE, a rival religion to the Brotherhood of Nod that is heavily against GDI and Scrin, but is also anti-Tiberium) as a fourth faction; its color is blue.
• The sixth and last game in the Tiberium series, Tiberian Twilight, was released in 2019. It's very different from OTL's Tiberian Twilight.
• A third Generals game was released in 2019, known as Command & Conquer: Generals 3 — Rise of the Reds. Set in the 2040s, the game revolves around a war between the European Continental Army and the Russian Federation that the United States and China intervene in, while the GLA, now in complete control of Central Africa, take advantage of the Third World War to launch a global jihad. This game exists IOTL as a popular mod for Zero Hour by SWR Productions.
• In 2024, a new game, simply known as Command & Conquer and nicknamed Command & Conquer 2024, was released. Based on Johnson's in-house Ultimate engine instead of the aging SAGE engine, this game is set in the Generals universe, but takes elements from the Tiberium and Red Alert universes, including characters, factions, and units. The game recontextualizes the Generals universe by factoring in world events that have occurred since the original game was released in 2003, including the Arab Spring, the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the rise of ISIS, the Crimea Crisis, the elections of politicians such as Donald Trump, Sheldon Johnson Jr., and Tsai Ing-wen, Brexit, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the Israel-Hamas War. Concrete dates for events are provided (for example, the events of "The Dragon Awakens" occur on October 5, 2019, the 70th anniversary of the armistice), as is an intricate timeline, including the effects and consequences of the Global War on Terror (such as the nuclear taboo being broken by the GLA's use of a nuclear weapon in Beijing, the global economy going into its worst depression since 1929, among others).
• Renegade never left the concept stage, as Sheldon Johnson Jr. labelled it a "desperate Halo cash-in", though the Project ReGenesis concept did show up as a major plot element in Tiberian Conquest.

Concentration

While the previous runs of Concentration and Classic Concentration continue as they did in OTL, there are some differences after them.

• In 1993, a revival of Classic Concentration began airing on NBC as Classic Concentration II, being based on the 1992 runthrough with the same name; with Alex Trebek hosting Jeopardy! for WBC, Bob Hilton took over as host. The show uses the two-strike format, though a new game is added after the main game where contestants have to match five pairs of words in 45 seconds in order to win $5,000. This is played twice for a chance at $10,000 (once after each main game round), and as such the car game is only played once, at the end of the show. Contestants as a result now retire after winning two cars instead of one or defend for five days, whichever occurs first.
• The show was renamed to simply Concentration again in 1995, and in 1996, Gene Wood retired from the announcing booth to focus on Game Show Network; Randy West was his successor.
• Tournaments of Champions are held every year, with the first tournament since Concentration went back on the air being held in 1993, featuring contestants who competed on the show in 1991 along with 1993 contestants. Tournaments were played for $10,000 and a car until 2001, when it was increased to $25,000 and a car, and then in 2007 it was increased to $50,000 and a car.
• The cash game prize was increased to $10,000 for the first game and $15,000 for the second game for a possible total of $25,000 in 2001, and the Cashpot increasing to a base value of $2,500 with it increasing by $1,500 every time it's not won.
• In 2007, Concentration started broadcasting in HD, and in 2009, a new logo and a remixed version of the 1987 theme debuted.
• In the summer of 2008, Concentration held a tournament titled 50 Years of Concentration that aired on the NBC primetime lineup on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 9:00 and featured 48 contestants (including two who had formerly competed on the original version that aired from 1958-1973) playing for a cash prize of $500,000 and a new luxury automobile. The first two rounds were played in an elimination format with four contestants (two in each half) using the two out of 3 (stars) format, and no car games were played, though cash games were still played. The third round featured the six remaining contestants competing against each other to try to get the fastest time in order to win the $500,000 and the luxury car that they last matched, with two contestants playing each game and two chances to try to match all of the boxes in the quickest time, while no cash games were played in this final round.
• Marjorie Goodson remains as the model.
• In 2018, Concentration started airing nighttime episodes called Concentration at Night, which are aired once every few weeks, and feature double cash payoffs, bigger prizes, and two car games. Due to this version of the show airing irregularly, there are no returning champions on the nighttime version, and it uses the two-out-of-three stars format for both games played. However, nighttime contestants who do really well with time to win a car have the chance to be invited into the Tournament of Champions.
• Hilton announced that he would retire from the show in 2025.

The Conners

• Since Ken Jennings was already named the permanent host of Jeopardy!, he guest stars in "Jeopardé, Sobrieté, and Infidelité" instead of Aaron Rodgers.

Cops and Live PD

• Because Cops moved to WBC instead of Spike/Paramount Network in 2013 and then back to Fox in 2019 after Johnson's purchase of 21st Century Fox, it was not canceled due to the George Floyd protests, nor did it move to Fox Nation (Nation Digital ITTL) in 2021. The one-minute version of the "Bad Boys" theme song (which was used for Cops' opening sequence until 2003) was brought back upon the move to WBC. Also, production was handled by Johnson Alternative in the WBC era, and Fox Television Stations Productions (which came out of dormancy after Johnson's purchase of Fox) in the second Fox era.
• Live PD (which airs on sister channel A&E) was not canceled either, and On Patrol: Live does not exist.

Copyright status on early Mickey Mouse cartoons

After Johnson acquired Disney, Tim announced that he would terminate the copyrights for the early Mickey Mouse short cartoons that would have fallen into the public domain had Disney not lobbied Congress to renew them; he considered it "an act of pure, pure greed", and pointed out that Disney would retain the rights to every later incarnation of the Mickey Mouse character, as well as his original 1928 incarnation due to it being considered an active trademark (as it's currently used in Disney's corporate branding since late 2013, as well as the Walt Disney Animation Studios logo since 2007).

Courage the Cowardly Dog

• The series was renewed for a fifth season, which aired in 2003; the original series ended with a TV movie in 2004.
• "The Fog of Courage" has Arthur Anderson reprise Eustace rather than being replaced by Wallace Shawn.
• A CD soundtrack was released in 2009.
• The series was revived from 2016 to 2019, with the involvement of creator John Dilworth, as well as Brian Doyle-Murray succeeding Anderson as Eustace. A Halloween special aired in 2017, followed by a Christmas special in 2018. After the series' end, a prequel, Before Courage, was released in 2021.

The Critic

After The Critic spent its first season on ABC, it moved to WBC for its second season in 1995 (as Sheldon became a fan of the show), continuing until 2001; it was revived on Comedy Central in 2021. Changes include:

• In the fourth season, Doris Grossman was recast with Tress MacNeille after the death of Doris Grau in 1995.
• More "the show's over" scenes were made as the series progressed.
• The 2000–01 webisodes do not exist.
• In the 2021 revival, three of the original voice actors were replaced due to their deaths; these include:
  • Marty Sherman (originally voiced by Christine Cavanaugh, who retired from voice acting in 2001 and died in 2014) was recast with Candi Milo. In the Latin American Spanish dub, he (along with Alice Tompkins) is voiced by Claudia Motta (who, ITTL, took over both roles after Araceli de León died in 1999).
  • Duke Phillips (originally voiced by Charles Napier, who died in 2011) was recast with Jess Harnell.
  • Penny Tompkins (originally voiced by Russi Taylor, who died in 2019) was recast with Grey DeLisle, who succeeded Taylor as the voice of Martin, Sherri and Terri, and Üter on The Simpsons from season thirty-one onward.
• On a side note, the 2021 revival uses the 2002 Sony Pictures Television logo instead of the 2019 Sony Pictures Television Studios logo. The ninth and tenth seasons use the 2014 version, and the eleventh season onward will use the 2023 version.

The Cuphead Show

The Cuphead Show was renewed to a fourth season, which was released in early 2023.

Cuties

The film was rejected from Netflix by Tim on the grounds that "it's borderline softcore child porn, an endorsement of pedophilia, and as a father of three, I will never let anyone, not even myself, watch this monstrosity". It was instead going to be released on video on demand, with the worldwide distribution rights being held by Lionsgate, and Tim called for the film to be banned worldwide; his father Sheldon Johnson, Jr. pledged in his 2020 presidential bid to ban the film from being shown or distributed in the US or any of its territories. Two days before its planned VOD release, however, ITTL, it was discovered by Tim and Chloe that the movie was a front for a conspiracy to normalize pedophilia as a sexual orientation, claiming it's against pedophilia to trick distributors and viewers, and that the filmmakers had bribed various critics into giving the movie positive reviews. Because of this, the leaders of this scheme, the parents of the child actresses, and much of the film's staff, including director Maïmouna Doucouré (who was also exposed as a pedophile ITTL), were arrested and received various punishments, the actresses were placed under foster care, its VOD release was canceled, and its Sundance award was rescinded, though pirated copies have circulated; Johnson, which acquired all rights to the film, has worked hard to destroy every pirated copy in existence. This also means that the #CancelNetflix movement never happened.

Daria DVDs

The Complete Series DVD of Daria was released in 2004; among other things, the licensed music was kept intact rather than being replaced with royalty-free stock music, and "Is It College Yet?" uses the original version rather than the edited one.

The Day After

The infamous 1983 telefilm was made by WBC instead of ABC. It still premiered on November 20, 1983, and still had the live debate, albeit moderated by Don George instead of Ted Koppel. Phil Stacker was involved in production of the film, taking the threat of nuclear war very, very seriously. As such, he gave Nicholas Meyer full creative control of the film, and allocated a theatrical budget. Johnson Studios created a large miniature set of Kansas City for the nuclear attack scene, which is completely destroyed; stock footage from past Johnson films such as Hot Cuba was also used during the sequence. The sound effect of the nuclear explosion was actually created by Johnson for Hot Cuba, and has come to be known as the "Johnson Nuke" sound, used in many films before and since.

The original three-hour cut was the one that ended up being broadcast.

Daytona Championship USA

• The game is an actual sequel to Daytona USA 2, instead of a modernized version of the original game. Because of this, its title is instead Daytona USA 3.
• Its soundtrack uses vocals from Takenobu Mitsuyoshi.
• Since the Car of Tomorrow does not exist ITTL, the cars are modeled after the Strictly Stock Car instead.
• All three courses are new layouts instead of variants of the originals, one of which has a slot machine (similarly to Three Seven Speedway). The recreation of Daytona International Speedway still exists, however.
• Its visual style goes for realism instead of trying to combine realistic lighting and shadows with a bright, colorful arcade palette.
• The Live Camera system does not exist. Instead, the radar is retained.
• The traditional 4-position shifter was not replaced with a simplified up/down shifter.
• 4-1-4 downshifting was brought back.
• The deadzone (the area of the steering wheel that doesn't recognize inputs) was not altered and widened.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2022)

• The film was made under the 20th Century Fox Animation label instead of Disney, and was released on Netflix.
• Tim himself served as an executive producer.
• The film itself is 2D animated instead of being CGI, the latter of which Tim vetoed, citing that "Jeff Kinney's original artstyle wasn't made with CGI in mind". Some scenes are animated to appear as though they come from the book, as in the original live-action films.
• Some of the original cast members make cameo appearances. For example, Devin Bostick (the original Rodrick) voices a journalist in Greg's fantasy at the beginning.

Disenchantment

• The first three parts are produced by 20th Century Fox Television; parts 4 and 5 are produced by Fox Television Animation. Netflix still carries the series.
• Its opening sequence (similar to Futurama) consists of a travel through Dreamland.
• Part 5 has some differences:
  • There are 20 episodes instead of 10.
  • Bean and Mora's relationship is differently handled (e.g. they have more interaction and chemistry, understand each other and their interests more, and Bean doesn't become unresponsive to her friends after Mora dies), and while the two of them leave Dreamland, Bean says goodbye to Elfo. Also, Mora isn't rude to Elfo.
  • The plot of Alva and the Trogs going to the Moon doesn't happen.
  • Some plot points are better explained, such as the debt to hell and the significance of dreams, and Luci's death gets more attention from the other characters.

Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz

The series is almost completely different, being a co-production of Johnson Cartoon Studios and MGM Animation; it also airs on Cartoon Network instead of Boomerang.

• Its title is Dorothy and the Land of Oz.
• The artstyle is the same one from Back to Oz, along with the voice cast; certain cast members are carried over from OTL for characters not in Back to Oz.
• Instead of being a comedy, the series expands upon the Oz mythology while still being based on the MGM film.

Doctor Who franchise

In 1969, the BBC sought out Johnson Television UK to assist in production of the seventh season of Doctor Who. Sheldon Johnson immediately jumped at the opportunity, not only sending Johnson Television UK crews and equipment to the BBC, but also buying up every episode of the series that had been made up to that point to preserve them and air them on WBC. As a result, none of the series' episodes are missing.

The changes made by Johnson were immediate. While the BBC would continue handling scripting and casting, Johnson took over filming, among other things. For the first six seasons, scenes shot indoors or on studio sets used 2" quad tapes, while outdoor scenes were shot on 16mm film. Starting with the season opener Spearhead from Space, the series switched to being filmed on 35mm film regardless of location, giving the series a much more cinematic look and feel. Johnson being in charge of filming also saw much higher production values, such as better costumes, makeup, model work, and monster designs. For example, there were a whopping 35 Dalek props used in Day of the Daleks, meaning the Ogrons were completely removed from the story, and the dinosaurs in Invasion of the Dinosaurs were considered groundbreaking for their time (it helped that the t-rex was actually the Gorosaurus suit borrowed from Toho).

Johnson remained very much involved in the series' production, even finishing the serial Shada when industrial action halted production. However, Phil Stacker was dismissive of the series, and paid zero attention to it, resulting in the divisive 80s era of the series. By 1987, however, Stacker had taken a keen interest in the series, and become much more involved, even managing to intimidate BBC controller Michael Grade into giving the series a 27th season. This season, however, proved to be the last, though it did allow the Cartmel Masterplan to be enacted.

After Sheldon Johnson Jr. became Johnson CEO, he lobbied unsuccessfully to get a 28th season, though did manage to get The Dark Dimension made. Johnson was involved in production of the 1996 television movie, being almost the same as IOTL, but with less plotholes, and the Doctor not being half-human, the comment made to Professor Wagg being a throwaway joke.

Johnson's co-ownership of the franchise allowed them to use characters from the series in the Mother series, including the Sontarans in Mother (1991) and Revenge of the Sontarans (2002), and the Daleks and Cybermen in all other productions.

In 1999, the BBC allowed Johnson to independently revive the series. McGann returned to the role; the OTL Big Finish Eighth Doctor audio productions starting with Storm Warning are full-fledged television stories. McGann stayed in the role until 2002, when the Doctor regenerated into the Ninth Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston. He left the series in 2005, being replaced by David Tennant. From there, the series' history follows our own, except John Hurt's War Doctor doesn't exist and Tennant didn't return as the Fourteenth Doctor in 2023, with Jodie Whittaker being immediately followed by Ncuti Gatwa.

There are additional spin-offs to the series beyond Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, K9, and Class, these being:

• The Doctor's Daughter - Starring the Doctor's "daughter" Jenny who debuted in the episode of the same name, the series is intentionally made to feel like the older episodes, being shot on 35mm film and using no CGI. The series follows Jenny and her companion, an American street orphan named Noah (initially portrayed by Tim Johnson before the character was given the ability to regenerate) going on adventures across time and space, including visiting other dimensions. In the series' first episode, Georgia Moffett reprised her role as Jenny, but at the end of the episode, she was mortally wounded by The Rani (Kate O' Mara, playing the role for the final time before her death) and regenerates for the first time, the Second Jenny being played by Georgie Henley (ironically, Henley and Johnson share the exact same birthday of July 9, 1995). Noah throws The Rani into a river of lava, and he and Jenny stealing The Rani's TARDIS while she recuperates from the regeneration, though The Rani emerges from the lava after regenerating (now portrayed by Siobhan Redmond). As of 2022, the Third Jenny is played by Millie Bobby Brown, while the Second Noah is played by Gabriel Bateman. They also have their own K9 (voiced by John Leeson). The series often crosses over with the main series.
• Dalek Wars - Created following Journey's End, the series stars Dalek Caan, having escaped the exploding Crucible using an Emergency Temporal Shift, seeking to "reboot" the Dalek race into a force for peace and freedom. Frequently crossing over with The Doctor's Daughter, Caan often calls upon Jenny and Noah for help, such as helping to repair the damage done to the Daleks' DNA by the war with the Thals, stealing weapons from the New Dalek Paradigm to reverse-engineer, or simply to assist in a battle. Caan's Daleks, instead of being heavily-mutated squid-like creatures, more resemble shrivelled-up babies, with Caan admitting that this is the best he can do for the moment. The "New Dalek Federation" is populated by Daleks with individual names and personalities, full emotions, and even individualized Travel Machines, contrasting the uniform Daleks of the NDP; among the notable Daleks include Caan's second-in-command Xenol, eccentric chief scientist Yttral, saucer commander Anzollo, noble general Grexnarl, super spy Snelldron, gung-ho Storm, and chatty maintenance worker Grexzol. The series primarily sees the Federation Daleks fighting the Imperial Daleks, as well as other hostiles such as the Cybermen, Sontarans, Weeping Angels, Zygons, Slitheen, Movellans, and even the Quarks, while allying with the Mechanoids and even The Doctor. It, too, frequently crosses over with the main series, with Federation Daleks popping up every so often on alien worlds as normal citizens who never pass up the chance to say hello to The Doctor, and vice versa.

"Victory of the Daleks"

Instead of the controversial Paradigm Dalek designs of OTL, the Daleks created by the Progenitor are classic designs, with the Supreme being from "Planet of the Daleks", the Scientist being an Imperial Dalek from "Remembrance of the Daleks", the Strategist being a gray Dalek from the 1970s and 1970s, the Eternal being the red Saucer Commander Dalek from Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 AD, and the Drone being a mid-late 1960s Dalek. None of the new Daleks are voiced by Nicholas Briggs, with the Supreme being voiced by Peter Hawkins, the Strategist by David Graham, and the Drone by Roy Skelton (in what would end up being his final Dalek performance). The new Daleks also have their original extermination effects and sounds, instead of reusing the Time War Daleks' effects and sounds.

Dragon's Lair film

The film was released in theaters in the summer of 2019 by Johnson Films.

DuckTales (2017)

• Johnson did not veto the DuckTales staff's plan to have Mickey appear in the series as Donald's more successful former roommate; Mickey is a recurring character as a result, voiced by Chris Diamantopoulos. Here is an idea of what he looks like.
• A fourth season was greenlit and aired from 2021 to 2022.

EarthBound franchise

• Both Mother and Mother 3 received US releases. Also, a remake of EarthBound for SNES and N64 that followed the film's plot titled EarthBound: The Movie was released in late 1997.
• Johnson, Toho, and the BBC produced five films based on the franchise: Mother (1991), EarthBound (1997), Revenge of the Sontarans (2002), Mother 3 (2008), and EarthBound 2: Invasion (2011). All were distributed by 20th Century Fox.
• Two television series have been produced: a live-action series that ran from 1997 to 2015, and an anime reboot that has aired since 2018.
• A comic book series titled EarthBound has run since 2000, and various novels and novellas (including novel adaptations of all five films, written by Hull) have been released.

El Camino

The film is mostly the same, except that visual effects were used to make Bryan Cranston's bald cap less obvious during Walt's cameo, and Jesse Plemons' body was digitally altered to look thinner in Todd's scenes.

Elemental

• The film received better marketing.
• There are more scenes detailing the lives of the earth and air elements.

Ember

Ember was not canceled.

Extreme Dinosaurs

Unlike IOTL, the toyline was made by Hasbro, and the show was picked up by WBC and ran for two more seasons in 1998 and 1999; here are some changes the show received:

• A finale to the first season titled Dino-Vision aired in July 1998.
• Generic Raptors were added as Bad Rap's minions.
• Spike became a bit of a local celebrity due to his masterclass of chili making; he also was made into both a chef in general and a food critic.
• The show was given continuity, with episodes having references to previous ones, and story arcs happening.
• A new member of the Reckless Raptors in the form of a Brontosaurus named Brontonaiter was added in the beginning of the Dino-Vision arc.
• In the last season, a villain named Carnoroarus was added.
• From January to February 2000, an eight-part sub-season named Extreme Dinosaurs 2000 aired.
• A live-action adaptation of the series was released in 2018, with a sequel set for a 2023 release.

F1 games

The F1 games produced by Codemasters are largely the same as IOTL. The one major difference is in the presentation of the Indianapolis 500 (which became a combination USAC/F1 race in 1996). From 1996 to 2021, F1 drivers, teams, and cars didn't appear in the Mario Andretti USAC due to the FIA demanding licensing fees that they intentionally made very expensive to dissuade Johnson Games; likewise, the Indianapolis 500 did not appear in any F1 games, and was replaced by a fictional United States Grand Prix taking place on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's road course configuration.

In 2021, Johnson and the FIA finally came to an agreement that would allow F1 teams, drivers, and cars to appear in Mario Andretti USAC, and for the Indianapolis 500 to be included in F1 2021. Part of this agreement was that F1 drivers are unplayable in Mario Andretti USAC, and USAC Gold Crown Series drivers are unplayable in the F1 games (though intrepid modders have found ways to unlock the drivers for use in each game). The presentation in the F1 games is also different; normally, the graphics resemble an actual F1 broadcast, complete with the voice of David Croft, and Brian Tyler's F1 theme. For the Indianapolis 500, however, the graphics are instead styled after those used by WBC, Leigh Diffey provides the commentary, and the music is WBC's own USAC theme, "Indy Style".

The different rules for the Indianapolis 500 are also included, such as the three-abreast rolling start instead of the two-abreast standing start, no sector cautions (and no track sectors in general), refueling being allowed during pitstops, no parc fermé, engines must be naturally-aspirated (no turbochargers), the use of the Aeroscreen instead of the Halo, no racing in the rain, use of a single tire compound from Firestone, and the use of ethanol fuel instead of high octane gasoline.

Many F1 players have opined that the Indianapolis 500 is the single-hardest race in the game due to requiring a different set of skills (not to mention the numerous rules imposed by USAC); a common sticking point is that the lack of braking makes the race seem like a more relaxed experience, until players are thrown for a loop by the high speeds and tight racing (not helping is the fact that the AI for the USAC cars is VERY aggressive). Mario Andretti USAC players, meanwhile, unsurprisingly find the track to be the easiest, as most of the USAC Gold Crown Series schedule is on ovals to begin with.

Family Feud

As the series has aired on WBC since 1987 instead of CBS from 1988-93, there are many changes from OTL:

• The Bullseye round was not implemented. Because of this, normal rounds are still played for dollars instead of points.
• Ray Combs continued hosting until 1997, as stated in the "People" section. He was succeeded by Dolly Parton from 1997 to 2003, and Bernie Mac since then.
• The 1994 music package was used until 2003, when a remixed version of the 1988 music package by John Lewis Parker (unused IOTL apart from one Face-Off cue, with other additions such as the family introduction cue) was introduced. In 2014, a modernized version of the 1988 package arranged by Edd Kalehoff was introduced.
• The amount earned from winning Fast Money was still changed to $20,000 in 2001. It was doubled to $30,000 in 2015.
• The Fast Money consolation amount expanded to $10 a point in 1994 and $25 a point in 2015.
• Fast Money's timer was still expanded from ten and fifteen seconds to twenty and twenty-five seconds in 1994; its accompanying music cues are the same as OTL.
• Since 2009, families win another $20,000 (increased to $30,000 in 2015) if they win five games, instead of a car.
• Sudden death doesn't exist: an overtime round was added in 1999 if the game runs too long, in which the controlling family is only allowed one strike (similar to the triple-point round from OTL's Louie Anderson era).
• Gene Wood remained as the announcer until his 1996 retirement. He was replaced by Burton Richardson, who still announces today.
• All board designs are the same as OTL. The trilon was replaced with a single Ferranti-Packard screen in 1994 (with the board graphics superimposed over it), then a rear-projected screen in 1996. In 2014, the rear-projected screen was replaced with a three-screen trilon (one showing the show's logo and other graphics, the second showing the main game board, and the third showing the Fast Money board. Road shows simply use a single screen.
• The Combs set was replaced with the Dawson comeback season's set from OTL (previously used in the 1993 Opryland USA shows) in 1994 and remained until 1999, when it was replaced with another updated version; the John O'Hurley-era set was introduced in 2006 with minor changes in 2008, and the current set is the same as the Steve Harvey one IOTL with all changes being carried over to TTL, but with classic-styled lecterns, as well as sliding screens behind the contestants showing the families' names.
  • The 1988-94 Combs set currently resides in the Johnson Studios museum.
• The questions still tend to be more innocuous rather than being made to bait contestants into giving dirty answers for the host to give a viral response to.

Family Game Night

The series still airs on The Hub to this day, and is still hosted by Todd Newton with Burton Richardson as announcer.

Family Guy

After Johnson's acquisition of 20th Century Fox and the Fox network in 2019, Penny Oates was appointed as showrunner beginning in its 19th season, making massive changes. The series ended after its 22nd season concluded in 2024.

• Several members of the writing staff were replaced.
• The animation reverted to the more fluid, cartoony style of earlier seasons, as Oates wanted to "restore the personality to the animation", criticizing the style of the then-current animation as "soulless and processed Flash-like animation"; she also pointed out that "cartoons should at least have cartoony moments here and there".
• The characters' flanderizations were completely undone:
  • Peter is once again a dumb and childish but lovable and jolly family guy instead of a braindead sociopath who is implied to be pedophilic at times
  • Lois went back to being a sensible, doting mother with her own quirks and a part-time piano teaching job instead of a drug-addicted sociopath
  • Meg is again a bratty but awkward and sympathetic daughter whom her parents actually love instead of being universally hated in-universe for no reason
  • Chris is again a dumb adolescent boy instead of just being used if Peter has too much screen time
  • Brian is once again a lovable, sarcastic dog and voice of reason instead of being used to express Seth MacFarlane's political beliefs
  • Stewie is once again an evil baby genius with a feminine side instead of a sadistic homosexual deviant
  • Joe is again a heroic cop who happens to be wheelchair-bound and doesn't let his handicap hinder him instead of being used for ableist jokes
  • Bonnie reverted to being Joe's loving wife rather than hating him to the point of once trying to murder him
  • Quagmire went back to being a lovable pervert instead of a hypocritical rapist who hates Brian and adapted his house to make it easier for him to rape women
  • Cleveland is once again a soft-spoken neighbor and the "normal" one instead of a black version of Peter (though the latter characterization is still used in episodes focusing on him and his family); he also once again owns a deli
  • Carter went back to being a competent, intelligent businessman with views stuck in the 1950s who hates Peter for his idiocy and lack of common sense instead of a corrupt executive
• Its opening was reanimated, as Oates was dissatisfied with the then-current opening (which had been used since 2010), claiming that "an intro should show off your best animation" and that "the opening actually has the show's worst animation right now".
• Vinny returned as a second dog for the Griffins (until the death of his voice actor Tony Sirico in 2022), with other characters getting larger roles such as Cleveland's family, the reintroduction of certain one-off characters Oates liked such as Quagmire's daughter Courtney (who was made a major character), as well as recurring gag characters such as Johnny and Vern, Greased-Up Deaf Guy, Buzz Killington, and Holden Caulfield (the character who calls things "phony"), and the reintroduction of certain character developments that Oates felt were "wasted as they immediately go back into their old selves in the next episode even though the episodes are supposedly canon to each other" such as Glenn learning to be a better father in the episode "No Giggity, No Doubt"; the first episode of season 19 ("Meet the Johnsons") sees Tim and Chloe Johnson (voiced by themselves) coming to and taking Quahog to task for their abysmal treatment of Meg, while the next episode features, as Penny put it, "quite possibly the biggest character development the show ever had".
• Diane Simmons returned as well.
• Mike Henry still voices Cleveland Brown.

Other changes include:

• Seasonal DVD releases were brought back, including seasons that were not released on DVD.
• Johnson pulled the license for Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff and similar Fox-themed games such as The Simpsons: Tapped Out and Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow after the acquisition, as Tim is heavily against microtransactions; support for those games ended and they were delisted from all app stores.
• The series will continue through reruns in syndication, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's Adult Alone Time block, FXX, TSS, and Freeform.
• A Family Guy film, Family Guy Presents: The Griffin Crime Caper!, is set for release in February 2025 as the series finale.

Also, due to Johnson purchasing New Art Digital (now simply New Art) in 1997, the Latin American Spanish dub of the show saw the series' original voice cast from the first two seasons return in season four, also redubbing the third season (though actors who have died or retired are replaced by their OTL replacements; for example, Sylvia Garcel was replaced by Adriana Casas as Lois after retiring in 2015, and Edson Matus started voicing Cleveland in season four; as an aside, the Family Guy/Simpsons crossover "The Simpsons Guy" has Homer and Peter [both voiced by Humberto Vélez] note how similar they sound); all these series (as well as The Cleveland Show) still incorporate unique Spanish jokes not from the English version as well. This is also true for other series such as Futurama and King of the Hill, with both shows retaining many of their original cast members throughout their runs.

Finally, with Family Guy airing in the Japanese Isles, its voice cast consists of the following:

• Koichi Yamadera as Peter Griffin
• Sayaka Ohara as Lois Griffin
• TBA as Meg Griffin
• TBA as Chris Griffin
• Takaya Kuroda as Brian Griffin
• TBA as Stewie Griffin
• TBA as Vinny Griffin
• TBA as Courtney Quagmire
• TBA as Glenn Quagmire
• Masakazu Morita as Joe Swanson

• TBA as Neil Goldman
• TBA as Bruce
• TBA as Carl
• TBA as Seamus Levine
• Yuki Kaji as Ernie the Giant Chicken
• TBA as Consuela
• TBA as Connie D’Amico
• Nobuhiko Okamoto as Tomik
• Toshiki Masuda as Bellgarde
• TBA as Tricia Takanawa
• Akio Otsuka as Carter Pewterschmidt
• Mitsuki Saiga as Barbara Pewterschmidt
• TBA as Jillian Russell
• Tomokazu Seki as the Greased-up Deaf Guy
• Junichi Suwabe as Adam West
• Kappei Yamaguchi as Opie
• TBA as Angela
• Hiroshi Kamiya as Bert
• Chie Nakamura as Sheila
• Akira Ishida as Fouad

Tim Johnson as he appears in Family Guy.

Fat Albert (2004)

Due to Cosby's allegations and arrest happening sooner, this film does not exist.

Felix the Cat franchise

Johnson beat DreamWorks in a bid to purchase the Felix the Cat franchise in 2014.

• A television series aired from 2016 to 2021 called The New Adventures of Felix the Cat.
• A feature film called Felix's Grand Adventure was released in 2019, coinciding with the character's 100th anniversary.
• Also in 2019, a Blu-ray set containing all Felix the Cat shorts produced by Otto Messmer and Joe Oriolo was released, named The Complete Felix the Cat.

Final Space

The series has received a MUCH better treatment from Johnson than Warner Bros. Discovery; physical copies are still available, Netflix still has the series, it was renewed to a fourth and final season using the story of OTL's 2024 graphic novel, and thus was never made a tax write-off.

Fireman Sam

Neither HiT Entertainment nor Mattel Creations ever had any involvement (Johnson bought HiT in 1996 before making it a Johnson subsidiary in 2010, and it was renamed back to Henson International Television in 2018 after Johnson acquired The Jim Henson Company); from the beginning, the series was, and still is, a creation of Johnson Television UK, in association with Bumper Films for the first few seasons (as in the real world's timeline). There are many key differences:

• The first four seasons are the same as OTL.
• In the fifth season, John Sparkes only voiced Mike, Norman, Tom, and Dusty. John Alderton stayed on voicing Sam, Elvis, Station Officer Steele, Trevor, Dilys, and Bella. Sarah Hadland still voiced Penny and Mandy, and Joanna Ruiz still voiced Helen, Sarah, and James. Also, the original color of the firefighters' coats (black/dark navy blue) is kept.
• The series went partially CGI in the sixth season onward, with CG characters (who look more like their (Johnsonverse) Season 5 selves, original coat color still kept and all) on model sets driving remote-controlled vehicles; the fires are also real and pyrotechnics frequently used, as is tradition for Johnson productions. John Alderton continued voicing Sam, Elvis, Steele, Trevor, and Bella (who never went AWOL until the tenth season), while Su Douglas took over Dilys. Stephen Kynman still voices Norman (and Kynman still goes out of his way to make Norman sound as obnoxious as possible), while Sarah, James, and Mandy are voiced by actual children; every other voice change is the same as OTL. Storylines also have the same quality and writing style as the early seasons (including entire scenes without music). The use of CGI also allowed for the creation of nameless background characters to make Pontypandy more populated. Finally, Pontypandy suddenly being a seaside town is explained as a massive dredging project to create a new harbor; said project drew the ire of Sarah and James' mother Bronwyn (whose rather extreme efforts to stop the project intentionally mirror actions committed by Johnson against protesters, such as the bulldozer incident in 1963 during the construction of the Shinkansen in the Japanese Isles).
• Subsequent seasons are much of the same, with the same characters being introduced and the same specials being released. However, character traits are not changed around (for example, Sarah and James' bickering is basically non-existent, and they and Hannah are very often the only sane ones compared to Norman, Mandy, or the more comedic adult characters such as Trevor, Mike, Joe, and Bella; in addition, Norman is not lethally-stupid).
• Finally, the original 1987 recording of the theme song is still used, albeit shortened in the CGI seasons. Trevor's Bus theme also never disappeared, and still uses the same recording from 1987. Here is a mock-up of what the Season 6-8 intro looks like in the Johnsonverse.
• The electronic siren from Seasons 1-4 continues to be used for Jupiter (in its Series 4 pitch) alongside the two-tone horn sound introduced in Season 5; Venus meanwhile uses the same electronic siren, but in its Series 1-3 pitch.

The Flintstones franchise

• The main voice actors currently consist of Jeff Bergman as Fred, Tress MacNeille as Wilma, Frank Welker as Barney, B. J. Ward as Betty, Kath Soucie as baby Pebbles, and Elizabeth Daily as baby Bamm-Bamm.
• Bill Wray's proposed Flintstones revival wasn't canceled, and aired on Cartoon Network from 1996 to 2002. Its voice actors include Henry Corden as Fred, Jean Vander Pyl as Wilma in the first three seasons and several season four episodes with Tress MacNeille taking over the role for the remainder of the series, Welker as Barney, Ward as Betty, Russi Taylor as Pebbles, and Don Messick as Bamm-Bamm in the first season with Daily taking over the role after Messick's retirement.
• A second revival aired from 2012 to 2021; it takes place after A Flintstone Family Christmas. In addition to the aforementioned actors, John Stephenson (who is still alive ITTL, as stated in the "People" section) reprises Mr. Slate, being the only voice actor from the original series to do so; archive recordings of the late Mel Blanc are used for Dino.
• The 1994 film had several differences: for one, Betty is played by Janine Turner instead of Rosie O'Donnell (Betty's giggle was dubbed over by B. J. Ward), and Mel Blanc is credited for voicing Dino in the original theatrical release, among other differences.
• Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs has several differences, such as a completely different artstyle.

Foodfight!

Johnson Studios agreed to distribute the film in early 2000. Larry Kasanoff was fired with Johnson itself taking over production. As a result, the film is nearly completely different from OTL.

• With production going far more smoothly, Foodfight! was released in July 2004.
• The film is rated PG-13, as opposed to OTL's version's attempted family-friendly tone.
• Most of the voice cast is different, with exceptions including Christopher Lloyd as Mr. Clipboard, Ed Asner as Mr. Leonard, Harvey Fierstein as Fat Cat Burglar, Edie McClurg as Mrs. Butterworth, and Jerry Stiller as General X.
• Many more brands are represented, along with their mascots. There are approximately 150 real-world brands featured in the film, including brands that the creators couldn't get the rights for and were replaced by ill-tempered parodies in OTL's version. Several of them have speaking roles, including the Red and Yellow M&M's (voiced by Billy West and J. K. Simmons), Fred Flintstone (voiced by Jeff Bergman), Barney Rubble (voiced by Frank Welker), and Tony the Tiger (voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft). All of the mascots are shown in their regular animation styles.
• Characters are much farther from the stereotypes that they were IOTL.
• Mascots are referred to as simply mascots instead of Ikes.
• Dex Dogtective remains a human (named Rex Marlon) as does Sunshine Goodness (named Sunshine Sparkle instead). They are voiced by Bob Saget and Tara Strong instead of Charlie Sheen and Hilary Duff, respectively.
• Other voice actors include Charlize Theron as Lady X, Carol Burnett as Lady X's true form Priscilla Pusly, Tracy Morgan as Daredevil Dan, Sarah Silverman as Annie (the mascot of Marketropolis' raisin brand), Robert De Niro as Maximillus Moose, Martin Scorsese as Spike, J. K. Simmons as the Fat Cat Burglar, Billy Crystal as Dr. Nustrix, Cloris Leachman as the Brand X Lunch Lady, and Richard Kind as Cheasel T. Weasel.
• The film uses the originally intended, Looney Tunes-style squash-and-stretch animation style instead of motion capture animation, albeit done much better than it was IOTL's version, with restraint put into it.
• The plot is much different and doesn't take as much from Casablanca, nor does it overindulge in fetishistic material.
• Sunshine is the antagonist instead of Lady X, who is a much nicer person than IOTL despite hints of her being a femme fatale character. Her product is failing, making her bitter and evil and leading to her abandoning Rex to join Brand X before the events of the film; Lady X goes with Rex instead, opening herself up to him and becoming his love interest. Sunshine is also a sponge mascot instead of a raisin mascot, showing that she's more than willing to put up a facade to take advantage of others.
• The term "ike" (short for icon) is replaced with "mascot" for clarity.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

• "Destination: Imagination" is the final episode aired.
• The preschool reboot does not exist.

Fraggle Rock

• The UK version and Japanese dub masters weren't wiped and are available on physical media and streaming.
• Two films were released in 2005 and 2012.
• Rock On! and Back to the Rock still exist, except that they're on Netflix instead of Apple TV+, and some of the performers are different:
  • Jerry Nelson's roles were filled by Matt Vogel (with the exception of the Trash Heap, who is instead performed by Donna Kimball).
  • Steve Whitmire reprised Wembley and Sprocket.
  • Dave Goelz reprised Philo and Large Marvin (voice only) in addition to Boober, Uncle Travelling Matt, and the World's Oldest Fraggle.
  • Richard Hunt (who is still alive ITTL) once again voiced Junior Gorg and performed Gunge.
• Mokey retains her old design in Back to the Rock.
• While the German and European French versions received new dubs in 2021, the original versions with new Outer Space segments are still available.

Frozen 2

The film has major differences from OTL.

Futurama

• Since Phil Hartman is still alive ITTL (see his section in "People"), he voices Zapp Brannigan, and Fry's given name is Curtis (which was his original given name before Hartman's death) instead of Philip.
• The series moved to WBC in 2003 after it was canceled by Fox, continuing for ten additional seasons until 2013. On a side note, the final WBC episode, "Meanwhile", is almost exactly the same as OTL, and the "Torgo's Executive Powder" gag from OTL's Bender's Big Score is instead used in the first WBC episode.
• The widescreen intro and theme song remix were used in the WBC era, as the series transitioned into widescreen upon the move.
• The four direct-to-DVD films still exist as TV movies, though Into the Wild Green Yonder was not made as a series finale.
• Due to Johnson buying New Art Dub in 1997, the original Latin American Spanish cast stayed on in the later seasons rather than new actors replacing most of them.
• Netflix has the original versions instead of edited versions; for example, in "The Cryonic Woman", the scene where Bender has an arm that used to belong to the Prime Minister of Norway is kept intact rather than being edited so the hand chip reads "Chainsaw Juggler". Reruns also use the original versions.
• Home media and streaming releases reflect the production order instead of airing order.
• As stated in the 21st Century Fox section, a new 30th Television logo was created for syndicated versions in 2019, replacing the original 30th Television logo; this also applies to The Simpsons and Futurama crossover "Simpsorama".
• The intro wasn't shortened in its later seasons, and the opening cartoon gag wasn't retired.
• Later seasons are not focused on being topical.
• A Futurama dark ride subtitled Planet Express Adventures opened at World of Fox in Johnson World in 2022.
• The 2023 revival does not exist.

Game of Thrones

• Seasons 7 and 8 do not exist. Three TV specials concluding the series were released instead.

Gameshow Marathon

The show was picked up by WBC after CBS aired the first season, with Todd Newton replacing Ricki Lake as host, and the show airing every Thursday during May-June. The show aired three more seasons until 2009.

Celebrities on the next three seasons included:

Garfield franchise

Direct-to-video films

Due to The Garfield Show premiering in 2007 ITTL, the direct-to-video film trilogy does not exist.

Garfield and Friends

• The series was revived on Netflix in 2021.

Garfield and Friends remaster

The 2018 remaster is completely different from OTL due to being produced by Johnson instead of 9Story Media Group:

• The series is presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio rather than being cropped to 16:9.
• The opening and all segments presented in Retrovision in OTL's 2018 remaster are completely remastered using a combination of AI upscaling, original cels, and pencil tests. The opening's original visual effects were also recreated as faithfully as possible.
• Both versions of the "We're Ready to Party" opening sequence (the ones used from the third to fifth and sixth seasons, as well as the seventh in all versions after their original broadcasts) were restored using the correct clips.
• The credits and many visual effects are recreated to appear exactly as how they originally did, though the credits in the first six seasons change the copyright from referencing United Features Syndicate (which owned the rights to Garfield at the time the episodes were originally produced) to Paws, Inc., and in all seasons, credits for the remastered version are added, as well as the 2018 copyright.
• All U.S. Acres Quickie logos are intact, rather than a few of them being covered with new versions resembling the Orson's Farm logo.
• All missing Quickies and Garfield opening lines are reinstated.

Garfield's Judgment Day

Johnson picked up the project, which was released on February 14, 1990. While critics disliked it for its darker tone, it has become a cult classic in recent years.

The Garfield Movie

• Garfield, Jon, Odie, and Liz are voiced by Lorenzo Music (in his final performance before retiring), Thom Huge, Gregg Berger, and Julie Payne instead of Chris Pratt, Nicholas Hoult, Harvey Guillén, and Dev Joshi, respectively.
• Its plot is massively different, involving more characters from the comic strip and not involving fast-paced action or cliché plot elements. Jon and Liz are more promiment, Nermal (Jason Marsden) has a larger role beyond a cameo appearance, and Arlene (Audrey Wasilewski), Binky the Clown (Huge), Squeak (Berger), and Irma (Tress MacNeille) have major roles as well. Finally, Garfield's mother (Allyce Beasley, taking over for Sandi Huge) makes a cameo appearance in his backstory.
• The characterizations for Garfield, Jon, and Odie are more faithful to the comic strip, specials, and series.
• The film uses 2D animation rather than CGI, while the designs are based on the modern ones rather than a hybrid between classic and modern.
• Animal characters' mouths don't move when they "speak".
• Garfield's backstory is more faithful to the original comics and Garfield on the Town, with Garfield being born in an Italian restaurant rather than originally being a stray.
• Lyman (Frank Ferrante) also appears in Odie's backstory, in which it's revealed that he left to join the Peace Corps, entrusting Jon to take care of Odie.

The Garfield Show

This series is very different due to being produced by Johnson Television Animation instead of Dargaud Media. It ran from 2007 to 2016, spanning nine seasons.

• The series is simply titled Garfield.
• It uses 2D traditional animation instead of CGI.
• Garfield and other animals don't move their lips when "speaking".
• Characters from the strip such as Binky the Clown (Thom Huge), Irma (Tress MacNeille), and Big Vicious Dog (Gregg Berger) are present.
• It does not rely on fantasy elements such as anthropomorphic lasagna.
• Jon and Liz aren't in a relationship.
• Its pacing is faster.
• Episodes like "King Nermal" don't exist.
• Nermal's characterization is closer to that in Garfield and Friends. He is still voiced by Jason Marsden.
• Orson Pig from U.S. Acres makes a cameo appearance in one episode, voiced by Gregg Berger.
• Mark Evanier is still involved as a writer and producer.
• Its theme song is the same as OTL, with the opening following Garfield traversing through comic strip panels and doing actions such as kicking Odie, mailing Nermal to Abu Dhabi, scarfing down on lasagna, sending Arlene flowers, and crashing Jon and Liz's date.
• Jon Barnard is the series' composer.
• As Lorenzo Music is still alive ITTL, he voices Garfield in this series. Thom Huge also returns to voice Jon and Binky the Clown.

Tie-in games

• Many of the Garfield video games are different due to Johnson holding the video game rights.

Ghostbusters franchise

• TBA.

Glitch Techs

After the first season, Cartoon Network purchased all rights to the series from Nick. New seasons still release every year.

Godzilla franchise

As Toho Company Ltd. is a subsidiary of Johnson Studios, the Godzilla franchise is a Johnson property. As a result, the series has a much more coherent, singular timeline, rather than two separate timelines and a series of anthology timelines (the Monster World timeline is considered an alternate timeline created when Second Impact occurred, and referred to as the "Beta Timeline", while the main timeline is called the "Alpha Timeline").

The entries in the series are as follows:

6	The Great Monster War	December 19, 1965	Ishiro Honda	Akira Ifukube	Japanese title used Four monsters are taken to Planet X instead of two, these being Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and Anguirus; the Anguirus suit from Godzilla's Counterattack is used, and it is explained that this is a different Anguirus than the one Godzilla killed in 1955	Godzilla II Rodan Mothra Imago Anguirus King Ghidorah	DaisensoGoji

10	All Monsters Attack	December 20, 1969	Ishiro Honda	Kunio Miyauchi	The film takes place in the real world instead of a little boy's imagination; as a result, Gabara is real The film is a coming-of-age story for Godzilla Jr. The film's title comes from Gabara rallying several monsters such as Ebirah, Kamacurus, and the Giant Condor, for revenge against Godzilla; they end up being defeated by Godzilla Jr. after Gabara nearly kills Godzilla with his electric powers	Godzilla II Godzilla Jr. Anguirus Rodan Mothra Imago Baragon Varan Gorosaurus Manda King Kong Maguma Kamacurus Ebirah Giant Condor Gabara	SoshingekiGoji DaisensoGoji (stock footage) MusukoGoji (stock footage)

17	Godzilla vs. Biollante	December 16, 1989	Kazuki Omori	Koichi Sugiyama, Yuki Saito	The scene in which Biollante's spores scatter on the hills of Lake Ashinoko, and flowers bloom, is retained, with a close-up of Godzilla showing tears in his eyes, both because he regrets having to destroy what is technically is sister, but also because the sight brings back memories of Solgell Island, foreshadowing that Godzilla III and the 60s Godzilla Jr. are the same character	Godzilla III Biollante	BioGoji
18	Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah	December 14, 1991	Kazuki Omori	Akira Ifukube	The time travel plot is made less confusing, in that the intention is to prevent the creation of the third Godzilla, not the second	Godzilla III King Ghidorah Dorats Mecha-King Ghidorah	GhidoGoji

21	Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla	December 10, 1994	Kensho Yamashita	Takayuki Hattori, Isao Shigetoh	none	Godzilla III SpaceGodzilla M.O.G.U.E.R.A. Little Godzilla	MogeGoji MechaGoji (stunt suit)
22	Godzilla vs. The World	December 9, 1995	Jim Henson	Akira Ifukube	Because he was still alive in 1995 (see below), Jim Henson directed this film The plot is much bigger than the original: Godzilla III has gone into meltdown, Little Godzilla has grown to become Godzilla Junior, Destoroyah has surfaced, and Godzilla II, who had spent years assisting the Super Squadron teams, has finally managed to get some downtime to round up some of his allies and take care of Godzilla III, who he views as a destructive villain; the film ends with Destoroyah killed by Godzilla II, Godzilla III going into meltdown and takes Godzilla II with him with a final blast of Atomic Breath that strips Godzilla II to the bone, and Godzilla Junior is revived as Godzilla IV, whom Anguirus, Rodan, King Caesar, and Baragon bow This film reveals that Godzilla III was actually the previous Godzilla Jr. from Son of Godzilla, who had his views on humanity soured after they threw him into a volcano	Godzilla II Godzilla III Godzilla Junior/Godzilla IV Destoroyah Anguirus Rodan King Caesar Baragon	MegaloGoji (Godzilla II) DesuGoji (Godzilla III) ShodaiGoji (stock footage)
	GODZILLA	May 19, 1998	Roland Emmerich	David Arnold, Michael Lloyd	This film is in continuity with previous Godzilla movies, and it is made clear that the monster seen is NOT Godzilla, due to the American military misidentifying the monster; by the end of the movie, it is referred to as "Zilla" Despite being in continuity with previous movies, this film is not numbered when listing Godzilla films, and is usually titled in all caps to differentiate it from the original film.	Zilla Baby Zillas	ShodaiJira
23	Godzilla 2000	December 11, 1999	Tim Burton	Danny Elfman	Following the disaster of the TriStar remake, Johnson instituted a policy of never letting another studio make a Godzilla movie again, and immediately tasked Toho with creating a brand-new Godzilla movie. Needing a reputable director to allay any fears over the film's quality, Toho tapped Tim Burton, who immediately jumped at the opportunity to direct a Godzilla film. Burton also brought Danny Elfman along as composer. The Godzilla in this movie was a new specimen recently discovered, and given the name "Godzilla 2000" because of the imminent new millennium. The film utilizes the pacing of the OTL English dub, and plenty of Tim Burton's trademark bizarre imagery.	Godzilla 2000 Millennian Orga	MilleniumGoji
24	Godzilla vs. Megaguirus	December 16, 2000	Masaaki Tezuka	Michiru Oshima, Akira Ifukube (stock music)	The Dimensional Tide is absent; instead, Godzilla 2000 faces off with Godzilla IV and is defeated The GX-813 Griffon is referred to as the Super-X4	Godzilla 2000 Godzilla IV Meganulon/Meganula Megaguirus	MegaGoji (Godzilla 2000) JuniorGoji (Godzilla IV)
25	Godzilla Must Die!	December 15, 2001	Shusuke Kaneko	Kow Otani	The title for the proposed US theatrical release of GMK is used The Godzilla in this film is the first Godzilla, resurrected by the spirits of those who died in the Pacific War Godzilla fights Anguirus and Varan instead of Mothra and King Ghidorah; he doesn't kill the three monsters, and is killed the same way as in OTL Ghost Godzilla has the 1954 roars instead of the Millenium roars	Ghost Godzilla Anguirus Baragon Varan	SokogekiGoji ShodaiGoji (stock footage)
26	Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla	December 14, 2002	Masaaki Tezuka	Michiru Oshima	The Godzilla in this film is Godzilla 2000 after receiving a massive power boost Kiryu is built around the bones of Godzilla II after the events of Godzilla vs. The World	Godzilla 2000 Kiryu	KiryuGoji MegaGoji (stunt suit)
27	Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.	December 13, 2003	Masaaki Tezuka	Michiru Oshima	none	Godzilla 2000 Kiryu Mothra Imago Mothra Larva Kamoebas	KiryuGoji MegaGoji (stunt suit)
28	Godzilla: Final Wars	December 4, 2004	Timothy Hill	Keith Emerson, Akira Ifukube, Takayuki Hattori, Cal Johnson	Instead of a Hollywood-esque action movie, the film is more akin to a traditional Godzilla movie The focus is first-and-foremost on Godzilla IV Instead of various aerial vehicles, the cities are defended from monster attack by mech units, including Mechagodzilla 2, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. 2, Mecha-King Ghidorah, and Jet Jaguar Kiryu re-emerges from the sea to guide Godzilla IV Almost every monster that appeared in a prior Godzilla film appears in this film; the ones that don't are Maguma, Manda, Mogu, Biollante, Battra, Orga, and Megaguirus After being defeated, Anguirus, Rodan, and King Caesar join Godzilla in the final battle; Baragon, Varan, Gorosaurus, and King Kong also join the final battle It is made clear that Mothra survived her kamikaze attack on Gigan Gigan is deployed by the Xiliens, instead of being found in a tomb; in his first fight with Godzilla IV, he has his 1970s appearance, and in the final battle, has his OTL Millennium design, with the ability to switch between his claws, chainsaws, and gatling guns Minilla/Milla does not appear in the film Monster X does not exist; instead, Godzilla IV fights King Ghidorah, Spacegodzilla, Destoroyah, and Bagan During the final battle, a tear in the fabric of space-time is made that causes parts of the Beta Timeline to bleed into the Alpha Timeline, namely Evangelion Units-01 and 02; the end credits depicts Shinji and Asuka bidding the prime Godzilla IV farewell as they return to their own timeline There is much less techno and rock music, and more orchestral music The fight between Godzilla IV and Zilla is longer, and Zilla uses green atomic breath; his defeat also doesn't involve the destruction of the Sydney Opera House, with Godzilla IV instead ripping his jaw off and beating him with it The film was shot on 35mm film instead of digitally, and is the final Godzilla film shot this way	Godzilla IV Anguirus Rodan King Caesar Mothra Imago Baragon Varan Gigan Megalon Hedorah Kumonga Kamacurus Zilla Gabara Ebirah Gorosaurus King Kong Mechagodzilla (alien) Mechagodzilla 2 M.O.G.U.E.R.A. 2 Jet Jaguar Mecha-King Ghidorah Kiryu King Ghidorah Destoroyah Bagan Evangelion Unit-01 Evangelion Unit-02	FinalGoji

36	Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters	November 17, 2017	Kobun Shizuno, Hiroyuki Seshita	Takayuki Hattori	This film is the first to be considered part of neither the Alpha nor Beta Timelines, and is considered the Delta Timeline Rather than an all-CG anime, this film is a hybrid with 2D-animated characters and physical monsters and sets; Godzilla Earth is a completely-new suit that is still a plant-based Godzilla, but isn't 300 meters tall, but the traditional 50 meters; Godzilla Filius, therefore, does not exist Godzilla Earth bears more resemblence to the KiryuGoji suit instead of the GareGoji suit More focus is put on the notion of Earth being a "planet of monsters", with more monsters appearing Tim Johnson intervened on the project during production by demanding that Gen Urobochi be kept as far away from the film as possible, calling him "Urobutcher" over his past projects tending to be overly bleak and cynical; he later said in an interview that the film focused too much on human drama and not on the monsters	Godzilla Earth Servum Anguirus Rodan Baragon Varan Ebirah Kumonga Kamacurus Gorosaurus Zilla Gabara Titanosaurus	PlanetGoji

Godzilla vs. The Tricephalon	June 8, 1979	Universal	Jun Fukuda	John Williams	In 1977, Universal proposed to Johnson to make a non-canon Godzilla film. Sheldon Johnson was intrigued by the idea, and provided production staff for the production, including director Jun Fukuda. John Williams was tapped to compose, and he created a score incorporating classic Ifukube themes. Universal initially planned to use stop-motion, but upon realizing why Eiji Tsuburaya had elected to use suitmation in 1954, attempted to construct their own suits, but the first prototype was unsatisfactory. Toho built a brand-new Godzilla suit (TricephGoji), and made extreme modifications to the ShodaiGhido suit, which involved replacing the wings with a pair of front legs, adding a fin on the back, and repainting the suit green. The film was a modest box office success, and won an Academy Award for Best Special Effects.	Godzilla Tricephalon	TricephGoji
Godzilla 3D	November 11, 1983	20th Century Fox	Steve Miner	Jerry Goldsmith	In 1983, Steve Miner proposed to make and direct an independent Godzilla film, and Toho approved of the plan. Toho agreed to let Miner develop a conceptualization of his film and begin seeking for backing from Hollywood studios. Miner started by hiring Fred Dekker to write a screenplay and William Stout to develop concept sketches. Dekker was not a Godzilla fan, finding the original films to be "cheesy," stating, "He (Miner) did not want to make a cheesy film, and I wasn't interested in just special effects and knocking buildings down. The first thing I said to Steve was, 'If all this movie is about is this big monster destroying buildings, we're screwed.'" Dekker took influences from James Bond and Steven Spielberg films, and wanted to write an action adventure with an Irwin Allen quality that would have been interesting even without Godzilla in it. Stout based his Godzilla design on a prototype developed and constructed by paleontologist Steve Czerkas and even made a teaser poster for the film, depicting Godzilla spitting atomic breath on the Golden Gate Bridge. Dave Stevens developed numerous storyboards based on the Godzilla designs. Miner contacted some of the biggest names in Hollywood special effects at the time. Many of them were invited to a special screening of the original Japanese version of Godzilla. Rick Baker was contacted to develop an animatronic Godzilla head for close-up shots, and Jim Danforth was set to animate stop motion, with David Allen set to head the animation team. When Phil Stacker caught wind of the film, he not only expressed approval, he even lent the TricephGoji suit to Miner. The film was released to mixed reception but decent box-office returns. After production wrapped, the TricephGoji suit was returned to Toho, where it was refurbished for use in Wrath of Godzilla, where it was renamed 84Goji.	Godzilla	TricephGoji

Television Series

Name	Airdate	Notes	Godzilla suit design(s)
Zone Fighter	1973-1977	In our timeline, this series was cut short by the Energy Crisis, while in the Johnsonverse, Zone Fighter managed to run for several seasons.	MegaloGoji
The Godzilla Power Hour	September 9, 1978 - December 8, 1979	Instead of being an animated series by Hanna-Barbera, this series was live-action, using live actors and suitmation. As a result, Godzilla (portrayed using the MegaroGoji suit) has his proper roars. The premise of the series is the same as the OTL series, but Godzooky is completely absent, and the series is aimed at general audiences instead of being a Saturday morning cartoon subjected to the strict moral guardians of the era. In addition, classic Godzilla monsters are present in the series, either helping Godzilla or being his opponent of the week; Gigan and Megalon, in particular, were recurring antagonists, while Anguirus appears in every episode.	MegaloGoji
Super Squadron franchise	1979-present	Super Sentai/Super Squadron is produced by Toho instead of Toei in the Johnsonverse (though Toei still produces Kamen Rider/Masked Rider). The third series, Battle Fever J, introduced the concept of giant robots and monsters, and the Godzilla franchise naturally fit in. Godzilla's involvement in the Super Squadron franchise was created as a replacement for The Godzilla Power Hour. Occasionally, Godzilla will show up to assist whatever the current Sentai team is against, usually a powerful monster that the teams' primary mecha cannot destroy. From 1979 to 1995, Godzilla II was the Godzilla seen, the series being canon to the Alpha and Beta timelines (in the case of the latter, it was explained that all Sentai teams, past and present, were hunted down and killed by SEELE to prevent them from interfering with the Human Instrumentality Project, and any future villains decided to avoid Earth completely due to invasion of the Angels and later the armies of Cthulhu and the Invadors), explaining why Godzilla III was allowed to run rampant from 1984 to 1995; after Godzilla II was killed in Godzilla vs. The World, Godzilla IV took over as the main Godzilla in the Super Squadron series, still appearing in every series since, and sometimes bringing an ally along. Godzilla's opponents also tend to show up, such as one memorable episode in Dinosaur Squadron Beastranger where Witch Bandora unleashed an alien Mechagodzilla, which fought and was defeated by DragonCaesar.	MegaloGoji (1979-1995) JuniorGoji/FinalGoji (1995-present)
Godzilla, King of the Monsters!	1994-1995	The first entry in the "Sunbow Trilogy", this series was a co-production between Sunbow Entertainment and Toho. This was a hybrid series combining animated humans with live-action suits, and is considered non-canon to any established timeline. The main purpose of the series was to promote the Trendmasters toyline.	MogeGoji
Godzilla Wars	1995-1996	The second entry in the "Sunbow Trilogy".	MogeGoji
Godzilla Doom Island	1996-1997	The third entry in the "Sunbow Trilogy", this series was controversial for the many strange ideas it presented, including putting battle armor on Godzilla and featuring generic dinosaurs.	MogeGoji
Godzilla Island	October 6, 1997 - September 30, 1998	Aside from using suitmation instead of Bandai action figures being manipulated by offscreen hands, and the main theme not being a J-Pop remix of the Akira Ifukube theme, this series wasn't different from the OTL version. It is not canon to any timeline.	MogeGoji
Monster World	1998-2004, 2015-present		MogeGoji (Godzilla IV) KiryuGoji (Female Godzilla) HillGoji (Godzilla V) ShodaiGoji (Godzilla I)

ITTL, Godzilland does NOT exist, as Johnson thought the Toho kaiju were the wrong kind of franchise to adapt into a cutesy preschool anime. Instead, a Chocodile anime was made.

Television Movies

All TV movies are canon to the Alpha Timeline.

Movie	Airdate	Notes	Principal monsters	Godzilla suit design(s)
Godzilla: Super Fight	2009	The first made-for-television Godzilla movie, meant to build public interest in the franchise ahead of Vocaloid & Godzilla. The film sees Godzilla transported to another planet by the Kilaaks to engage in gladitorial games against other kaiju taken from other planets, with the winning kaiju's planet being spared destruction. During the games, Godzilla finds himself being forced to work with his old enemies King Ghidorah, Gigan, and the Black Hole Alien Mechagodzilla to break out and return to their respective planets.	Godzilla IV Gigan King Ghidorah Mechagodzilla (Showa)	FinalGoji
Godzilla vs. Barubaroi	November 2011	Loosely based on a concept that evolved into Godzilla vs. The World, this film was made in direct response to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, with Barubaroi being awoken by the earthquake and coming ashore. Barubaroi is treated less as a malicious force and more as a confused animal that is trying to get its bearings, so Godzilla IV tries to be as humane as possible until Barubaroi does something unforgiveable, at which point the gloves come off.	Godzilla Barubaroi
Godzilla: Doomsday	February 2012	To date, the final made-for-television Godzilla film, this film serves as a sequel to the Atari/Pipeworks video game trilogy, with the Vortaak launching an end-all assault on Earth. This time, though, the humans have help from another alien species known as the Sterlans.	Godzilla King Ghidorah SpaceGodzilla

Video games

Name	Release Date	Developer	Platform(s)	Differences/Notes	Playable Monsters
Godzilla: Monster of Monsters	December 9, 1988	Johnson Games	NES	The game is much more fleshed out, having been developed by Johnson Games The game takes place on Earth, instead of across the solar system Progressing is less of a chore, as the player is instead fighting through cities and the countryside, and buildings go down in one hit In addition to Godzilla and Mothra, Anguirus, Rodan, and King Caesar are playable, each with their own special abilities (Anguirus can roll, Rodan can create shockwaves while flying, and King Caesar can use an enemy monsters' attacks to charge his usually-empty energy meter and unleash an eye beam) The boss monsters are Gezora, Hedorah, Titanosaurus, Megalon, Gigan, Mechagodzilla, and King Ghidorah; there are also mini-bosses, including Kumonga, Kamacurus, Ebirah, Maguma, Gabara, and Tricephalus The story is much clearer, the antagonists being the Kilaaks The canonicity of the game is vague, due to Godzilla II, usually portrayed as an ally of humanity, being depicted destroying buildings and fighting the military; a later statement by Jun Fukuda clarified that Godzilla and friends were fighting in Communist countries Overall, the game is much more fun, being considered one of the best NES games of all time	Godzilla II Mothra Anguirus Rodan King Caesar
Super Godzilla	December 23, 1993	Johnson Games	SNES	Instead of its unconventional presentation, the game is a top-down RPG with turn-based battles Godzilla does not take damage when destroying buildings The aliens, instead of being undefined, are explicitly shown to be the Xiliens This game is considered canon to both the Alpha and Beta timelines The boss monsters are, in order, King Ghidorah, Megalon, Fake Godzilla/Mechagodzilla, Hedorah, Gigan, and Bagan The Super Godzilla form does not exist, the game's name instead being part of the SNES naming convention	Godzilla III

The Good Dinosaur

Concept art of the film's artstyle; art by Frederic Wierum

Due to Johnson's acquisition of Disney, The Good Dinosaur was changed to a theatrical short, as its story was deemed "too paper-thin" to be made into a feature film. The project that was planned as a theatrical short, Sanjay's Super Team, was changed into a feature film, released on November 23, 2016. The Good Dinosaur also uses different, more realistic character designs from OTL to match the photorealistic environments.

The Good Doctor

The series was rejected by ABC for its depiction of autism.

Hailey's On It!

The series wasn't cancelled after one season.

Happy Days

Garry Marshall ended the show after its seventh season in 1980, as he felt like it could not continue without its star, Ron Howard, as well as Donny Most. In the season 7 finale (which was the episode after the season 7 finale in OTL, "Ralph's Family Problem", and was the series finale in TTL, was titled, "Passages" (similar to the series finale in OTL), and focused on Richie, Ralph, and Potsie leaving Milwaukee to join the army, while the rest of the Cunninghams move to Florida, as Howard retired from the hardware store, which he gave to Fonzie (Fonzie gave his garage to Spike). Here are how (most of) the characters ended up:

• Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard), along with his friends, Potsie Weber (Anson Williams), and Ralph Malph (Donny Most) leave Milwaukee to join the Army).
• Howard leaves the hardware store to Fonzie, and he, Marion, Joanie, and Chuck move to Florida.
• Fonzie gets Howard's hardware store, and leaves his garage to Spike.

Other changes were made (mostly dealing with season 3 and beyond, as those seasons are similar to the first two in TTL)

• The show continued to be shot on film with one camera, after season 3.
• The show continued to use "Rock Around the Clock" as the theme song after season 3.
• The characters of Chuck Cunningham, Spike, and Leather Tuscadero weren't forgotten. (This also means that the trope Chuck Cunningham Syndrome is instead named "Lyman Syndrome" after the Garfield character Lyman, who disappeared a few years into its run.)
• Fonzie never became a main character, as he continued being a minor character.
• Chachi never became a character, because he was meant to be a replacement for Spike, but since Spike continued to appear in this timeline, there was no need for Chachi.

Happy Tree Friends

• Due to Johnson owning Mondo Media since 2004, the series was not put on constant hiatus due to budget issues, still producing episodes to this day (about twelve episodes, one per month, are produced each year). The television series also aired on Freeform (then WBC Family)'s adult block (whose name was adopted for the channel from 2016 onwards, while the adult block was renamed Freeform At Dark) instead of G4 due to Johnson focusing almost exclusively on games for the latter channel. It also continued until 2010, when the series went back to YouTube.
• The Ka-Pow! spinoff is still ongoing.
• YouTube Copyright School does not exist.
• Cro-Marmot was permanently unfrozen in a 2010 episode, as his traits of being mute and doing impossible things offscreen were considered redundant with Mime, The Mole, and Handy, respectively. Instead, his characterization is defined by his less civilized behavior compared to the other Tree Friends (being a caveman) and accidentally bludgeoning other characters to death with his club.
• Characters such as Giggles, Flaky, Lifty and Shifty, Nutty, Mime, and Lammy and Mr. Pickels are used more often, while the Generic Tree Friends make more appearances.
• Giggles, Flaky, Mime, and Cro-Marmot also received pop-ups from 2009 onwards:
  • G is for Giggles - Great giggly girls are filled with glee! (Giggles giggles and sits on a log next to a flower field, refrencing "Better Off Bread".)
  • F is for Flaky - Fleeing far away from friends is no fun. (Flaky runs away from an eagle in a forest, referencing "Take a Hike".)
  • M is for Mime - Being mute may make one a marvelous mime. (Mime rides in his unicycle, juggling some balls.)
  • C is for Cro-Marmot - Compassionate, club-carrying cavemen cause complete chaos. (Cro-Marmot whacks a piñata with his club.)
• An episode titled "Antsy Pantsy" was produced and released in 2019, involving Sniffles finally eating the Ants; unlike other characters, the Ants' deaths are confirmed to be permanent.

Harvey Beaks

The series was acquired by Cartoon Network in mid-2017 after Nick cancelled it. Production moved from Nickelodeon Animation Studios to Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network Studios, and four additional seasons were aired from 2018 to 2021, when creator Carl Greenblatt ended the series to focus on Jellystone! for Netflix.

Harvey Comics franchises

As Johnson acquired Harvey Comics in 1962, there have been massive changes:

• The Richie Rich, Little Audrey, Little Dot, Little Lotta, Casper, and Hot Stuff series, among other comics, have continued to this day.
• Harveytoons is currently used by Johnson as a label for animated series based on Harvey's properties. Since 1999, OTL's The Harveytoons Show version is used, albeit in widescreen, shifted up to accommodate the Johnson byline, and with Richie Rich added; the synth version of the 1955-1965 Noveltoons theme from The Baby Huey Show and OTL's Film Roman-produced Richie Rich series is used. Harvey Street Kids/Harvey Girls Forever! uses a variant that has all the characters in the series' artstyle.
• A theme park named Harveyland USA opened in New York in 1976.
• A live-action Richie Rich movie was released in 1977, being the directorial debut of Timothy Hill. It received two sequels: Richie Rich II in 1980, and Richie Rich III in 1994. OTL's 1994 live-action film does not exist.
• A second television series still aired and was produced by Film Roman, though it premiered in 1993 instead of 1996. It continued until 2002, and the 2015 live-action Netflix series does not exist. It also received a traditionally-animated feature film, Richie Rich in New York, released in 2013 to commemorate the character's 60th anniversary.
• Harvey Girls Forever! started with a film, Harvey Street Kids, that was released in July 2016, and the series ran from June 2018 to April 2023 (spanning eight seasons); the series was named Harvey Girls Forever! in its first season (as well as the other seasons) to distinguish it from the film, and was produced by Hanna-Barbera (which previously produced the 1980-1984 Richie Rich series) rather than DreamWorks, with the same voice cast and artstyle, and much of the same staff as OTL's series; a Harvey Girls comic book series has been published by Harvey Comics since 2019.
• Since 1999, Harvey Comics' closing logo is based on the 1959-1962 logo, with the addition of Richie.

Hell's Kitchen

• When season 19 started production in 2019, production on the series moved from A. Smith & Co. Productions to Johnson Television and Studio Ramsay Global, though ITV Studios America is still involved; seasons 19 and 20 were still filmed in Las Vegas. A new graphics package was introduced.
• The elimination challenges were abolished, as Tim and Chloe considered them "a blatant attempt at repeating MasterChef even though it's already on Fox", and pointed out that they had caused the eliminations of consistent chefs at wrong times.
• Also, themes were eliminated (since Tim and Chloe saw it as "a blatant attempt to capitalize on Survivor"), as were the Black Jacket Challenges (each season now has six Black Jacket contestants).
• All future seasons use bi-gender teams rather than contestants being split into men vs. women, as Tim and Chloe considered it "too played out" and claimed it promoted sexism.
• Teams are now determined like this: Gordon Ramsay samples all of the signature dishes in the Signature Dish Challenge, with his two favorites being named team captains, who sample everyone else's dishes and take turns picking people for their teams.
• Also, there is far less editing, added music, sound effects, or narration (with Ramsay replacing Jason Thompson as the narrator).
• Season 19 onwards retains "Fire" as the show's theme song, and all contestants (not just Gordon Ramsay) once again have an intro spot. The Season 19 intro is themed around Las Vegas iconography with Marino and the sous chefs as dealers, Season 20's intro is themed around the show's history and is accompanied by clips from previous seasons, Season 21's intro is based on western movies with Marino and the sous chefs as townspeople, and Season 22's intro is set in a pirate ship with Marino and the sous chefs dressed as pirates.
• Ramsay and Marino Monferrato (as well as the sous chefs) once again have their own confessionals, like in the first season.
• Ramsay now uses video replay for eliminations.
• The chefs' jackets retain their season 17 designs.
• Contestants once again design their own menus and restaurant interiors, the "Taste It, Now Make It" challenge was not retired, the "Blind Taste Test" challenge no longer involves gimmicks, the final two challenges were brought back rather than the final three, celebrity appearances aren't as frequent, and season finales once again play outtakes during the credits.
• Like the Blind Taste Test challenge, the Craps challenge is a series staple each season.
• Rather than the winners of individual challenges deciding who goes with them, the runner-up automatically goes with them.
• Punishment passes were retired, as were dangerous challenges and punishments.
• A video game adaptation was released in November 2022.

High Guardian Spice

The series itself is massively different.

Homestar Runner

Due to Johnson owning Harmless Junk, Inc. since 2006, H*R also was not put on hiatus, and new toons and sbemails are still released regularly. After Adobe Flash was discontinued in 2020, the series switched to HTML5 Canvas animation. It is still a webseries, but the toons and sbemails sometimes air on Cartoon Network and Freeform.

Home Sweet Home Alone

The film is almost completely different than OTL with Belle Armstrong as the director:

• The married couple's motives are different: rather than wanting to sell a doll they think Max stole to save their family's Christmas, they are depicted as cruel and spiteful parents who are abusive to their children and don't care that the doll belongs to Max.
• Max is a much, much more likable character.
• Kevin, his parents and the Wet Bandits all make cameo appearances along with Buzz; Kevin is the head of a security company as IOTL and a family friend of the Mercers, while his parents still live in the McCallister house and the Wet Bandits are shown as homeless bums still bitter about being defeated twice; in a post-credits scene, the Wet Bandits run into Kevin on the street, and, upon seeing him, Marv runs away screaming like a girl, while Harry just smiles nervously and says "Merry Christmas" before running after Marv. Finn Baxter (Christian Martyn) and Alex Pruitt (Alex D. Linz) also make cameo appearances.
• The authorities don't do anything about the reported break-in at Max's mansion because it isn't actually reported, rather than Buzz misinterpreting it as a prank call from Kevin.

Hoppers

Environmentalist themes weren't downplayed on Disney's orders to avoid raising Donald Trump's ire.

The Idhun Chronicles

• The animation is higher quality.
• Its setting wasn't updated to the late 2010s-early 2020s.
• The Spanish voice cast is composed of the professional voice actors from the audiobook version instead of celebrities, aside from Victoria (who is still voiced by Michelle Jenner). The English voice cast is the same as OTL.
• Its characters are much more faithful to the original stories.
• The pacing isn't as fast.
• Because the series was more successful, and books two and three in The Idhún's Memories were adapted, being released in 2021 and 2023. Book one was also released as one season instead of two.

Incredibles 2

The film was released in 2019 as originally intended instead of 2018, as Toy Story 4 doesn't exist. Also, Tim Johnson co-wrote the screenplay with Brad Bird, resulting in massive changes.

• The plot is very different: an at-home incident has convinced Bob that he's not as powerful as he used to be, and he's gotten used to a life of hiding, being reluctant to use his powers. Helen plays superhero for several years and Bob eventually gets fed up with her constantly being in the spotlight while he's forced to stay home and hide. Dash, Violet, and Jack-Jack start using their powers for some time until Bob figures out what they're doing. Despite Evelyn being set up as the main villain by being put in suspicious circumstances, as well as red herrings being used throughout, she and Winston are ultimately used as pawns for the Underminer's quest for world domination.
• Tony Rydinger has his appearance from the first film.
• The seizure-inducing scenes don't exist.
• Several deleted scenes were carried over to the finished film, such as Gazerbeam's funeral. Other scenes that were in OTL's version were deleted instead.

Indiana Jones franchise

Here are a list of changes made to the franchise after Johnson's purchase of Disney:

• An Ultimate Edition of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released in 2018.
• All releases of Raiders of the Lost Ark use that title instead of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
• Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny does not exist. Instead, a spin-off film focusing on Short Round was released, titled Short Round and the Dial of Destiny.

Infinity Train

• The series airs on Cartoon Network as intended.
• Like Final Space, this series was not canceled as a tax write-off due to Cartoon Network being owned by Johnson; it's still on Netflix and physical copies are available.

Inside Job

This series got much better treatment from Netflix than IOTL.

Inside Out 2

• Production went much more swimmingly than IOTL.
• There are slightly more romantic undertones between Riley and Val, though it's clearly a one-sided crush on Riley's part.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

• The episodes "America's Next Top Paddy's Billboard Model Contest", "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth", "The Gang Recycles Their Trash", "The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 6", and "Dee Day" were not banned in 2020, and "Dee Day" is on the Season 14 box set. Tim stated, "Banning these episodes would demonstrate a lack of trust in our audiences to recognize that the Gang's acts are very clearly played as in the wrong, since the Gang themselves are a bunch of ignorant, pathetic, and demented idiots who nobody with a brain would ever want to emulate".
• The lighting and cinematography reverted to how they were in previous seasons, as did wardrobes and props.
• Scripts reverted to focusing on the Gang's shenanigans over meta or topical humor.

It's Pony

Like many other former Nickelodeon series, It's Pony was acquired by Cartoon Network after the first season and moved there, still producing and airing new episodes.

Invincible Fight Girl

This series remained on Cartoon Network rather than being moved to Adult Swim.

Jem and the Holograms (2015 film)

The film was directed by Jenny Smith in her directorial debut with Johnson Studios producing it. As a result, it's almost completely different from OTL.

• The film is animated, and simply titled Jem.
• It's far more faithful to the franchise.
• All the main voice actors reprised their roles from the animated series.
• The winners of the video submission contest provided voice cameos, rather than their videos being featured.

Jeopardy!

While Jeopardy! hasn't seen as many changes as Wheel of Fortune, those are still significant:

• The series moved from syndication to WBC's daytime schedule in 1989.
• The current executive producer is Sarah Whitcomb-Foss, who replaced the retiring Harry Friedman in 2021 (instead of 2020 as IOTL); neither Mike Richards nor Michael Davies ever became executive producer ITTL. Jimmy McGuire acknowledged Trebek's passing on-air prior to the November 9, 2020 episode (which aired the day after Trebek's death).
• After Alex Trebek's 2020 death, it was announced that former contestant Ken Jennings would become the permanent host of the show starting on January 11, 2021; it was already explained that Jennings had been selected with Trebek's blessing prior to his death.
• Clue values still pop in for Double Jeopardy! (using the 2009-16 and 2016-present clue sounds ITTL), and the set background and score displays are still red. Negative scores also use a red background in the first round. After the set turns red during Final Jeopardy!, it remains red until the credits roll, at which point it reverts to blue.
• Celebrity episodes are still done, but as primetime hour-long shows rather than as part of the regular season. Also, there are two full games played for each episode with Final Jeopardy! at the end.
• The 1984-2008 clue pop-in sound is still used, albeit for the Jeopardy! round.
• Players still walk onstage during their introductions, except in episodes with handicapped contestants and during Season 37, as it was shot during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The tiebreaker rule was still introduced in 2014, except that those who lost the tiebreaker clue can still keep their winnings.
• Since Season 26, the category name and clue value are always seen above the clue itself, with the top blanking to show the category and clue value; the blow-up animation and Daily Double reveal only cover the board rather than the entire screen. Also, the logo on the board still segments into a grid before the board fills in, category boxes don't pop up along with the clues, the clue text is still shown at the bottom of the screen for video clues (and is also shown at the bottom of the screen during the Jeopardy! round and Double Jeopardy!), and the Final Jeopardy! category still appears in a separate, tube-shaped graphic. Shots of the clue that follow a closeup of the clue value remain the same as pre-2009, only with the category name above the clue text; this also applies to Final Jeopardy! clues, though with just the category name being above the clue.
• The consolation prizes were increased from $2,000 for second place and $1,000 for third place to $3,000 and $2,000, respectively; since 1986, all contestants have had travel expenses paid for by Johnson.
• In Season 33 (2016-2017), the theme music and thinking music used since 2008 were rearranged by Bleeding Fingers Music. The theme song is very similar to the OTL 2021 version, except with real instruments instead of synthesized ones and a guitar similar to the Celebrity Jeopardy! version. This version is also used on the revival of Va Banque (the Polish version of the show).
• Contestant coordinator Glenn Kagan and director Clay Jacobsen were not kicked out.
• Sports Jeopardy! still airs due to being on GSN rather than Crackle. Dan Patrick hosted from 2014 to 2020 with Fox sportscaster Joe Buck succeeding him as host afterward, and Kelly Miyahara continued as the announcer until her 2019 departure; Whitcomb-Foss has been the announcer ever since. Likewise, Rock & Roll Jeopardy! still airs on MTV (which Johnson owns) rather than VH1, and Jeff Probst continued hosting until 2002, when he left the show to focus on Survivor. Jimmy McGuire of the Clue Crew has hosted since then.
• Kids' Weeks are not held.
• The set still used a near-seamless rear-projection video wall for the board from 2009 to 2021 and one big monitor afterwards instead of 36 Sony television screens. RCA screens are used for other purposes (such as the monitor next to the host's lectern from 2009 to 2021).
• Categories that require contestants to search for a hidden word keep the clue on screen until someone buzzes in.
• Since Season 36, all 61 clues are played every episode. Also, it became policy for everything written on-screen during Final Jeopardy! to be considered part of the response, thus making shout-outs additional information that otherwise render a correct response void.
• Kelly Donohue's introductory shot in his fourth game (which aired on April 27, 2021) was reshot so he held up his index, middle, and ring fingers to represent his three wins, as the "okay" symbol he initially held up was also being used by various white supremacist groups and other right-wing individuals.
• The tribute to Brayden Smith appeared at the beginning of the 2021 Tournament of Champions, rather than in the middle of the fifth game.
• Rather than the "Around the World with Alex" reruns from December 2020, the 2021 summer reruns consist of 20 assorted, rarely-seen Trebek episodes, with new introductions from Jennings, McGuire, and Whitcomb-Foss; those include the March 20 and 21, 2003 episodes that were pre-empted throughout much of North America due to debates over whether or not the US and Canada should be involved in the Iraqi War.
• The clue writing and judging quality are the same as they were prior to Season 37.
• The camera still pans left-to-right during the shot of the contestants during Final Jeopardy!, instead of cross-fading between contestants and a wide shot of the contestants.
• Season 38 received some cosmetic changes to transition from the Trebek era to the Jennings era:
  • The graphics are mostly the same as OTL, but with several differences from the Season 37 graphics such as a darker shade of blue for the contestant name, cash winnings and credits graphics, all of which use new graphics instead of using the ones from the previous season; the former two now use the Korinna font used in the clues and credits. Also, the globe and its aura have higher contrast, and the logo used in the intro is also used for other purposes rather than the Season 37 logo being reused. Finally, the intro is shorter, with the second shot removed and the title card playing slightly faster, no music playing until the logo zooms forward to reveal the set, and the shot panning from the audience to the set still being introduced in Season 39.
  • The 2016 theme music and thinking music were replaced with new arrangements composed by Bleeding Fingers Music. The theme music uses a very different arrangement similar to what is used in this video (albeit with real instruments), as well as bringing back the 1984-1996 clue swoosh sound at the title card as in the 2001 arrangement.
  • The set (which had been in use since 2013) was replaced with a new one based on the 1991-96 set. It's very similar to the set from this video, albeit without the dedication in the middle of the contestant area. The board was also changed from a rear-projected wall to one large monitor (as stated above), and the clue and contestant monitor graphics were changed for the first time since 2009, now using a blue-tinted (or red-tinted for contestant monitors in Double Jeopardy!) version of the current season's background graphic (though all fonts, including Swiss 911 for categories and clue values, and Korinna Bold for clues, as well as contestant dollar amounts, video clues and the Final Jeopardy! clue graphic) were retained, as are all sound effects. Also, the Final Jeopardy! response and wager are now shown through the contestant's monitor onscreen, rather than through a graphic. Finally, a picture of Jennings is briefly shown on the board as he enters the set, similar to the season 8 opening.
  • The categories are revealed like in the 2023 Swedish version (a flash is used to transition from the logo to the category name, along with a beeping noise very similar to the "time's up" sound, though it's higher-pitched and fades within each note).
  • The soundstage Jeopardy! tapes on (Stage 10) was still renamed in Trebek's honor, and the line "From the Alex Trebek Stage at Johnson Studios..." was added before the phrase "This is Jeopardy!" in the intro. Jennings made the announcement on the Season 38 premiere episode (September 13, 2021) accompanied by footage of Trebek's family with the Alex Trebek Stage plaque.
  • Starting this season, touch-sensitive stylus pens are used for contestant names and Final Jeopardy! instead of light pens.
  • Jennings and the contestants once again hold post-game chats on center stage instead of the contestants remaining in their lecterns, though they were still socially distanced until Season 39.
• The National College Championship (in addition to being hosted by Jennings rather than Mayim Bialik) uses the traditional tournament format with two full games played, though with minor changes to accommodate a 36-player roster. There is also a greater variety of schools represented beyond Ivy League or "alternate Ivies", and the compositions from the 2020 College Championship are used instead of the OTL versions.
• All tournaments starting in Season 39 (excluding the Tournament of Champions) air on WBC instead of being part of the main show to increase slots for potential contestants. All tournaments in daytime retain the 1985-2021 tournament format, celebrities aren't invited to the Tournament of Champions, and the ToC is not held annually.
• Sadie Goldberger's Final Jeopardy! response on the June 17, 2022 episode was deemed correct.
• The Season 39 graphics package is completely different rather than reusing the previous season's graphics. The opening goes like this: the camera zooms in on a grid similar to the Season 14 intro featuring clips from throughout the show's history (including Season 38), along with still images, slideshows of contestants during their runs, past title cards, categories, clues, values, and footage of clue subjects; one square shows Jennings on the set, folding his arms. The camera zooms out of the grid (which turns black and gains a blue aura around it) into a comfortable distance as the show's logo arrives in place. The camera zooms through the letter "A", revealing the 2021-present set. As in the Season 37 (not counting the post-Trebek versions) and 38 openings, five different versions were made.
• The Season 40 opening uses the upside-down triangle from the tenth season, and the visuals consist of rectangles showing visual representations of clues, footage from Fleming, Trebek and Jennings episodes, footage of Jennings, Gilbert, McGuire and Foss, and behind-the-scenes footage, as well as the Alex Trebek Stage plaque outside the studio, before transitioning to the title card (like the previous openings, five variants were made). The other graphics are different as well.
• Also, that season's ticket system is much better handled with On-Camera Audiences not being involved; confirmed reservations are done for the number of seats, then "standby seating" is offered with no guarantee anyone on standby gets a spot, clearly spelling out the expectations for each arrangement so people know what they're getting into; this is so seating is sure to be filled, but everyone has clear expectations for their day.
• In the 2022-present Celebrity Jeopardy! episodes, each round has more money ($200-$1,000 for the Jeopardy! round, $500-$2,500 for Double Jeopardy!, and $1,000-$5,000 for Triple Jeopardy!), as well as consolation values being $20,000 for second place and $10,000 for third place, there's no tournament, $1,000,000 grand prize, Tournament of Champions invite, or categories featuring former contestants (they're instead used on the regular show and primetime tournaments), and there's far more of a focus on the lighthearted tone. Also, some celebrities from OTL (such as Hasan Minhaj) were replaced by different celebrities, and the idea of showing the contestants during shots of the board wasn't utilized.
• The November 8, 2022 episode (an exhibition match between Matt Amodio, Amy Schneider, and Mattea Roach) had all contestant winnings donated to their selected charities.
• The November 13, 2022 episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! had the replacement clue from reruns in the $200 slot for "The "A" List" ("Marshes & swamps are preferred homes for these long & toothy critters, which might explain why 1.3 million of them live in Florida") instead of one involving where Brian Laundrie committed suicide.
• The November 16, 2022 episode has a different Bible-related Final Jeopardy! clue, as the King James Version is no longer used for biblical clues due to being deemed the "least accurate" version.
• Inside Jeopardy! (though with Foss and Cohen hosting) and box scores still exist, as does Jeopardy! Honors. Second Chance, teasing the contestants before the next episode, and sports-like scripted introductions do not.
• Jeopardy! Masters does not exist.
• Season 40 does not have a postseason format. The Champions Wild Card Tournaments and Invitational Tournaments do not exist due to the ToC retaining the Trebek-era format.
• This Is Jeopardy!: The Story of America’s Favorite Quiz Show is a miniseries on ABC rather than a podcast. Each episode also has more balanced coverage in their content, as well as more interviewees such as Frank Spangenberg, Chuck Forrest, and more former Clue Crew members. It's also hosted by Jimmy McGuire instead of Buzzy Cohen (who is still interviewed).
• Season 41's opening features the Alex Trebek Stage plaque outside the studio, as well as more visual representations of clues and footage of Jennings, Gilbert, Trebek, McGuire and Foss, as well as returning to the globe motif. Like the previous intro, five variants were made, and the other graphics are different as well.
• Pop Culture Jeopardy! does not exist.

Jetsons: The Movie

• The film was released by Johnson Studios instead of Universal.
• Janet Waldo was not replaced by Tiffany Darwish as Judy Jetson.
• The movie also has much better writing, animation, and characterizations.
• Because of all of this, the film had a much better reception.

Johnny Bravo

There were numerous differences from the second season onward.

• Van Partible was involved in the second and third seasons, though Gary Hartle and Kirk Tingblad were still involved; the writing team was different as well, meaning the writing didn't suffer come the fourth season.
• The first season's art style was used throughout the show's run, though it got cleaner with the switch to digital animation.
• Little Suzy retains her first season design in all later seasons.
• The second and third seasons use the first season's title sequence. The fourth and fifth seasons' intro adds more characters, and is redone digitally.
• The first season's end card and closing theme are used in all later seasons as well.
• Van Partible and Seth MacFarlane's series bible for the second season was used. This means the series wasn't retooled, though Carl and Pops still exist, and characters such as Holly O'Hair (Johnny's femme fatale next door neighbor, voiced by Tara Strong), Jim Dandy (a rework of the show's portrayal of Donny Osmond, voiced by Tom Kenny), and the titular character from "The Sensitive Male!" (now named "The Mayor" and mayor of Aron City, still voiced by Jack Sheldon) all became recurring characters. Also, a backup segment focusing on Adam West was added.
• Johnny's flanderization did not happen (i.e. he remained only marginally stupid rather than his stupidity being exaggerated).
• Season 4 is very different:
  • The "three shorts and a transition gag" format is still used instead of two eleven-minute episodes.
  • Carl and Pops are still major characters and appear in the title sequence.
  • Characters such as Little Suzy (who remains intelligent) and Carl (who retains his scientific interests) don't become as generic.
  • Much better comedy and plots.
  • Celebrity guest stars aren't nearly as frequent.
• Since the fourth season was a success, one more season was made which ran from 2005 to 2006. The final episode is much more focused on Johnny as well.
• Johnny Bravo Goes to Bollywood has some differences; it also aired in the US and was released on DVD and Blu-ray internationally.

The Joker's Wild

Some changes occur from our timeline.

• Jack Barry did not die from a stroke on May 2, 1984. Thus, his original plan of having Jim Peck replace him at the beginning of the 1984-1985 season was still put in place. Bill Cullen, who replaced Barry IOTL, retired from hosting game shows after Hot Potato was cancelled. Richard S. Kline as a result never left the company, meaning that Kline & Friends never existed.
• The show debuted a new set for the 1984-1985 season just like Tic Tac Dough did when Jim Caldwell took over that show. The set was much more colorful with pastel colors and featured some redesigns.
• The original run of The Joker's Wild ended its run in 1987, due to it being considered a cheaper game than Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!. The 1990 revival still still exists with Pat Finn hosting, though it was produced by Barry & Enright Productions (which was renamed to Jack Barry Productions after Enright died in 1992). Dan Enright did not have any involvement in this version due to illness, but Jack Barry served as an executive producer until his death in 1994, when his sons Jon and Doug became the executive producers for the final season. This version was distributed by Johnson Television instead of Orbis Communications, and was paired with the 1990 revival of Tic Tac Dough in most markets, using the category format and the 1989 pilot's bonus round.
• The 2006 pilot was sold, and has aired since 2007, although Pat Finn is again the host of this version as opposed to the pilot hosts. Charlie O'Donnell again became the announcer until his death in 2010, with John Cramer succeeding him in the role starting in the spring of 2011 after much of the 2010-11 season featured tryout announcers. As a result, Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker's Wild does not exist.

Judge Judy

The show still airs to this day, meaning Judy Justice does not exist; Season 26 saw Judy Sheindlin back in the courtroom, along with limited audiences, as well as a new graphics package (replacing the general style introduced in 2004) and the reinstatement of the Bill Bodine-composed music cues used prior to 2004. Also, the show is still distributed by Worldvision Enterprises (which Johnson acquired a controlling stake in via Blockbuster Entertainment in 1994). The OTL Judy Justice set, music, staff and graphics were instead used for a different show, Judge Levy (with Judy's son Adam Levy), which airs on Amazon's Freevee.

Kingdom Hearts III

• Oswald and Ortensia appear in the game.
• The English translation and voice direction are better; for one, Bret Iwan was told to put more emotion in Mickey than "acting like he's constantly grinning".

Kitchen Nightmares

The 2024 US version returns to the documantary-style approach of the UK version, rather than the traditional reality show approach of the first US run. Also, clips from the original show uploaded on YouTube always end with a disclaimer noting what happened to the restaurant since the episode aired.

L.A. Noire

TBA.

Laverne & Shirley

The series was cancelled in 1980, after its fifth season. The season 5 finale (also the series finale in TTL) is "Not Quite New York", which is the season 6 premiere in OTL. This was made so the last season could end with the girls moving to Hollywood, instead of starting a new season like OTL.

Law & Order franchise

Once again, many changes were made to the Law & Order franchise after Johnson saved the mainline series from cancellation in 2010 and Criminal Intent a year later; Trial By Jury was also picked up by WBC-owned A&E in 2005 after one season on NBC.

• Trial By Jury saw a vast amount of changes. For one, a different production staff was hired so the existing staff could focus on the other three shows (Law & Order, Special Victims Unit, and Criminal Intent).
• Criminal Intent (in addition to using the Season 1-6 theme throughout its entire run) went back to showing the criminals' perspective as well as the police investigation.
  • The current cast lineup as of Season 21 is Vincent D'Onofrio as Robert Goren, Kathryn Erbe as Alex Eames,
• The main Law & Order series had Kate Dixon (Camryn Manheim) replace Anita van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson) as the commanding officer at the 2-7, as well as working in the pregnancy of Alana de la Garza (who continued playing Connie Rubirosa until leaving the show for fellow Dick Wolf production FBI in 2018; she was replaced by Odelya Halevi as Assistant District Attorney Samantha Maroun).
  • The current cast lineup as of Season 32 is Anthony Anderson as Detective Kevin Bernard, Jeffrey Donovan as Detective Frank Cosgrove, Camryn Manheim as Lieutenant Kate Dixon, Hugh Dancy as Executive Assistant District Attorney Nolan Price, Odelya Halevi as Assistant District Attorney Samantha Maroun, and Sam Waterston as District Attorney Jack McCoy.

• Special Victims Unit also
• Organized Crime is mostly the same, with its opening being a major difference. Here is an idea of what it looks like (though the theme song is the same as IOTL).
• In February 2022, a massive crossover miniseries called All Forces United aired on NBC, in which the casts of all five Law & Order series team up to tackle a massive crime ring in New York City. Its opening narration goes "In the criminal justice system, several different forces, either in the police or in the courts, handle specific types of criminal cases. In New York City, all those forces will work together to solve a major case. These are their stories."

Learning with Pibby

Learning with Pibby was picked up, with the series beginning in 2023.

Leaving Neverland

The documentary was rejected by HBO for various reasons, chief among them its multitude of inaccuracies (such as a train station Wade Robson and James Safechuck allege Michael Jackson molested them in in 1992 not being built until 1994). It was instead picked up on Showtime. The documentary received strongly negative reviews from critics, including Tim Johnson.

Legend of the Three Caballeros

• The series uses digital ink-and-paint animation instead of Toon Boom Harmony animation.

Lego games

• The Lego James Bond video game was not cancelled.

Leningrad: The 900 Days

Because Sergio Leone did not pass away in 1989, he officially signed on to direct this film, which was released in 1992.

Let's Make a Deal (2009)

The only changes from OTL are the Big Deal having two players as in prior versions instead of one, and games based on pricing are present; trivia-based games don't exist. Also, the series started using full audiences again in 2022 instead of continuing to use limited audiences. The show also broadcasts in the 3-4 PM timeslot in all markets as opposed to the option of having it broadcast in the 10-11 AM timeslot due to that timeslot being taken over by Blackout and Now You See It.

Lightyear

As Tim was the writer (though Angus MacLane remained as the director) and a co-producer, there are many major changes.

• The film is not connected to Buzz Lightyear or the Toy Story franchise. Buzz is replaced by Phoenix Moonfighter (the film is called Moonfighter instead), while Zurg is replaced by Leviathan. Both still have the same voice actors and similar designs to the OTL Buzz and Zurg. The other characters (including Izzy, Mo, Darby, and Commander Burnside) are better fleshed-out, and Star Command is replaced by the United Interplantetary Squad (UIS).
• Leviathan is not a future Phoenix, as it was deemed too clichéd. He is instead a former colleague and childhood friend of Phoenix's whose real name is Link Benedict (his surname being taken from Benedict Arnold).

Lingo

• The 2002 GSN version still airs to this day, though Bob Goen replaced Chuck Woolery as the host in 2011; new graphics and a new set (though the set is different from the OTL 2011 version) were introduced that year. In 2021, the show received a new look and feel based on the UK version. Because this version is still going, the 2011 revival and 2023 CBS version do not exist. Balls are still taken out of a bowl instead of a rack like in the 2011 version, and the rules and sound effects are still the same.
• The 2020 UK version still has the bingo aspect.
• The Dutch version has continued beyond 2014, with new 2D graphics introduced in 2015 and the current theme song and graphics introduced in 2020.

The Lion Guard

Aside from Simba being voiced by Matthew Broderick rather than Rob Lowe, James Earl Jones voicing Mufasa throughout the series, Nathan Lane voicing Timon instead of Kevin Schon, Scar being voiced by Jeremy Irons, Simba and Kiara’s personalities staying true to the movies, and the artstyle for the show resembling the first movie and The Lion King 1 1/2 (all due to the series boasting a much higher budget), the series otherwise remains the same.

Little Bill

This series does not exist, due to Cosby's fall from grace happening earlier than IOTL.

Living Books CD player series

The Living Books series was remastered by Johnson Games for new computers, now in widescreen and with remastered sound effects.

Looney Tunes franchise

Thanks to LeBlanc⁠'s ownership of Warner Bros., the Looney Tunes franchise has seen various changes.

• Since the death of Mel Blanc, the main voice actors consist of Jeff Bergman (Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Wile E. Coyote, Foghorn Leghorn, Cecil Turtle, Henery Hawk, Barnyard Dawg, Ralph Wolf, Sam Sheepdog, Slowpoke Rodriguez, Papa Bear, Clyde Bunny, Shorty, and Claude, as well as the Big Bad Wolf since Stan Freberg's 2015 death), Joe Alaskey (Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Pepé Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, Marvin the Martian, Sylvester Jr., Rocky, Mugsy, Hector the Bulldog, Baby Bear, the Weasel, Cool Cat, Colonel Rimfire, Spooky, Blacque Jacque Shellacque, Count Bloodcount, Charlie Dog, Spike the Bulldog, Hugo the Abominable Snowman, Clarence, George, Benny, K-9, Dr. Moron, Marc Anthony, Pussyfoot, the Drunk Stofrk, Yoyo Dodo, Willoughby, and Oliver Owl), Bob Bergen (Porky Pig, Tweety, Mac, Hubie, Bertie, the Gremlin, Cicero Pig, and Gabby Goat), Billy West (Elmer Fudd, as well as the Three Little Pigs since Stan Freberg's 2015 death; West has voiced Elmer since 1984 ITTL), Jim Cummings (Tasmanian Devil, Gossamer, Beaky Buzzard, Bosko, Buddy, and Beans), Jess Harnell (Tosh and Piggy), John Kassir (Claude Cat, Chester the Terrier, and Pete Puma), and Richard McGonagle (Dr. IQ Hi); Frank LeBlanc (who had grown up with the classic cartoon shorts) vetoed having a rotation of voice actors for the characters, believing it would "ruin their integrity". Bergman's Bugs voice also sounds closer to his 1990s voice than his 2010s voice, as voice directors allowed Bergman to put more energy in his performance. Other modern voice actors include Candi Milo (Granny, Witch Hazel, and Miss Prissy since June Foray's 2017 death, as well as Mama Bear, Roxy and Fluffy), Greg Burson (Merlin and Nasty Canasta), Cheryl Chase (Cookie, Little Kitty, Bunny, and Mary Jane), Kath Soucie (Sniffles, Ham and Ex), David Shaughnessey (Owl Jolson), Maurice LaMarche (Goopy Geer), Kari Wahlgren (Ralph Phillips), Grey DeLisle (Millicent), and Jeff McCarthy (Michigan J. Frog).
• Honey Bunny (Kath Soucie), Melissa Duck (B. J. Ward), Petunia Pig (Jeannie Elias), and Penelope Pussycat (Tress MacNeille) were promoted to major characters in 1988 in an effort to expand the franchise's gender balance. Because of this, Lola Bunny does not exist (though her head design is used by Honey). Here are rundowns on each character:
  • Honey is a tough, athletic, bubbly, and clever trickster with a love for sports (similar to Lola's portrayal in OTL's New Looney Tunes), and dislikes being called "doll" (similar to Lola's portrayal in OTL's Space Jam). She serves as Babs Bunny's mentor in Tiny Toon Adventures.
  • Melissa is a serious-minded, sarcastic, and cynical foil to Daffy (similar to Tina Russo from OTL's The Looney Tunes Show), though she still participates in slapstick. Also, her hair color was changed from blonde to brunette.
  • Petunia is very kind and energetic, and always sees the positives of the situation even when she's harmed, similar to her portrayal in Looney Tunes Cartoons.
  • Penelope is very timid, kind, and clumsy, but capable of putting up a fight, similar to her personality in the classic cartoons.
• Space Jam is very different:
  • Most significantly, the film is a seven-minute fully animated theatrical short instead of a full-length hybrid feature film, and neither Michael Jordan, the live-action cast, nor any other Looney Tunes than Bugs and Honey are present. It opens with Mr. Swackhammer (still voiced by Danny DeVito) assigning the Nerdlucks to enter the Looney Tunes world to kidnap Bugs and Honey and force them to act as entertainment for Moron Mountain; he supplies the Nerdlucks with "Secret Stuff", which transforms them into the Monstars. After they enter the Looney Tunes world, they challenge Bugs and Honey to a basketball game, in which the two proceed to defeat all five Monstars; Bugs and Honey still wear Tune Squad uniforms (with the latter still wearing a crop top and short shorts for practicality, though still having her normal proportions). After the game, the Monstars turn back into the Nerdlucks due to the Secret Stuff wearing off, and accept Bugs and Honey's offer to join the Looney Tunes; Swackhammer is sent to prison and Moron Mountain is closed.
  • Nerdluck Bupkus is voiced by Tara Strong instead of Catherine Reitman, as Ivan Reitman isn't involved.
  • The basketball court backgrounds are hand-painted backdrops instead of CGI.
  • The film's theme song still exists, with portions playing during the title card, game scene, and credits.
  • The Nerdlucks have become recurring characters in the Looney Tunes franchise since this short.
  • A different Looney Tunes feature film was instead released in 1996 titled Looney Tunes: Goin' Berserk, involving the characters facing off against Berserk-O! (voiced by Mel Brooks) and his henchmen, O-No!, O-Darn!, and O-Mercy! (voiced by Wayne Knight, Bill Murray, and Candice Bergen, respectively), who plan on demolishing their world and building a massive toxic waste dump in its place. The Space Jam short played before it.
• Baby Looney Tunes does not exist.
• Looney Tunes: Back in Action still exists, though its production went more smoothly; due to this, the film was released in July 2003 as planned instead of November 2003 (receiving much more marketing), and wasn't a box office bomb. It also has a few differences from OTL:
  • The film's violence wasn't toned down.
  • Its human characters, while still present, are downplayed (with the exception of the ACME Chairman).
  • Scooby and Shaggy still appear in the film with permission from Johnson.
  • When the water tower is knocked down, the Warners (Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, once again voiced by Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell, and Tress MacNeille) are released, and they thank DJ for releasing them before running off to wreak havoc. Ralph the Guard (Frank Welker) then runs by saying "Thanks a lot, DJ!", then resuming the pursuit.
  • Honey, Melissa, and Petunia make appearances.
  • Michael Jordan isn't among the Chairman's disguises. Instead, he's replaced with Buddy.
  • In addition to the aforementioned differences in the voice cast, Taz is voiced by Jim Cummings instead of Brendan Fraser.
  • The Dalek props used were lent from the BBC, and are voiced by Nicholas Briggs.
  • One of the ACME agents is The Lobe from Freakazoid (David Warner), who is promptly fired by the Chairman for being pathetic.
  • The compositing on the Las Vegas fight scene is more polished.
  • The CGI on the spy car, the Robot Dog, and the aliens in Area 52 are more refined as well.
  • The alternate climax involving greater use of the Blue Monkey's powers is used rather than just the Chairman being transformed into a monkey.
  • The ending was still completely changed, but the line confirming that the central romance was deliberately contrived was kept.
• New theatrical shorts were revived permanently starting in 1990. The color rings from 1990 to 2010 are similar to the classic rings, but with the regular Warner Bros. shield in blue with a gold outline and letters. Since 2010, the opening rings from the 2010-12 shorts have been used, with the overshooting shield used for 3D versions. Since 1999, Porky again says "That's all, folks!" and Bugs again says "And that's the end!" in their respective cartoons, this time appearing from the center of the rings (other shorts simply use the "That's all Folks!" script writing itself). Richard Stone is the series' primary composer. This means the Larry Doyle-produced shorts do not exist. Here is a list of color schemes used:
  • 1990-1991: Dark blue rings with orange center
  • 1991-1992: Orange rings with black center
  • 1992-1994: Red-to-yellow rings with green center
  • 1994-1995: Red rings with sky blue center
  • 1995-1999: Blue rings with red center
  • 1999-2001: Crimson rings with blue center
  • 2001-2004: Dark crimson rings with mint green center
  • 2004-2006: Green rings with dark green center
  • 2010-2011: Gold rings with black center
• Loonatics Unleashed does not exist. Instead, Duck Dodgers continued until 2007.
• The Looney Tunes Show still exists, running from 2011 to 2018; Honey and Melissa retain their personalities (though unlike Lola, Honey is more crazy than ditzy) and designs from OTL's Lola and Tina (but are still voiced by Kath Soucie and B. J. Ward, respectively), and the first season uses the second season's artstyle and designs. The third season introduces Sniffles, Hubie and Bertie, Owl Jolson, Charlie Dog, Sam Sheepdog, Marc Anthony, Pussyfoot, Hippety Hopper, etc., and Petunia is a recurring character rather than only appearing towards the end. Also, Witch Hazel is introduced as Witch Lezah's sister. This also means Wabbit/New Looney Tunes does not exist.
• Looney Tunes Cartoons still exists as well (though its animation is more fluid, Speedy Gonzales, Pepé Le Pew, Penelope Pussycat, Honey Bunny, and Melissa Duck are present, and it uses more of Treg Brown's sound effects instead of Hanna-Barbera sounds). Bugs Bunny Builders doesn't; instead, twitter.com/TVsKyle/status/1322210476915261440 Porky & Gabby: Farm Boys (a spin-off developed by Kyle A. Carozza that was rejected for Bugs Bunny Builders IOTL) was picked up; there, Pammy Pig is voiced by Alex Cazares, and Swandra is voiced by Chandni Parekh.
• Space Jam: A New Legacy doesn't exist. Instead, a fully traditionally-animated feature film titled Looney Tunes: Enter the Serververse (following the Looney Tunes characters traveling through different worlds in the Serververse) was made, and released on July 16, 2021.
• Additional theatrical feature films were made: Duck Dodgers, a superhero parody released in 1999, The Hunt for Yosemite Sam, a Western parody involving Bugs, Daffy, and Porky on their own quests to catch Yosemite Sam for a bounty that was released in 2008, Looney Tunes: The Lost Treasure, a film set in the Middle Ages released in 2012, Return of Duck Dodgers, a sequel to Duck Dodgers released in 2017 taking place after the television series, Coyote vs. Acme, released in October 2023 (it wasn't canceled ITTL), and The Day the Earth Blew Up, released in July 2024.
• Bugs & Daffy’s Thanksgiving Road Trip is a television special instead of a scripted podcast.
• Character and series anniversaries are more commonly celebrated.
• Pepé Le Pew was not retired in 2021. His characterization was instead retooled so he only tries wooing women but not stalking them, similarly to Johnny Bravo, and he always gets his comeuppance while not being played sympathetically.
• All 1,004 cartoons in the classic run, as well as cartoons released thereafter, were restored and released on Warner Max; any cartoons with harmful stereotypes or other offensive content are preceded by a ten-second-long disclaimer. Unlike OTL's HBO Max remasters, the opening and closing titles weren't artificially zoomed in via Photoshop and are instead zoomed in to cover the full frame (reflecting the original theatrical release), and any cartoons shown in a lower pitch in OTL's restorations were featured in the correct pitch. Also, more effort was taken into securing original titles for cartoons with Blue Ribbon reissues (in fact, every cartoon that received a Blue Ribbon reissue had their original titles restored), with an option to view either the original or Blue Ribbon titles; in addition, any cartoon that had a redrawn and/or colorized version had that as an option.
• In 2020, a Blu-ray set containing all cartoons was released, titled Looney Tunes Ultimate Collection. Around 13-27 shorts are on each disc, and the set is a case, with Bosko, Bugs, and Cool Cat on the cover; individual sets were grouped by decade (e.g. Looney Tunes in the 1940s); "Lumber Jack-Rabbit" has both its 3D and 2D versions. Bonus features include all other cartoons Warner Bros. produced outside of Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies such as Private Snafu, as well as commentary tracks from animation historians such as Jerry Beck, Michael Barrier, and Greg Ford, commentary tracks from Bergman, Alaskey, or Bergen in-character, a documentary on the series titled Merrie Memories: A Looney Tunes Story, all compilation films and television specials, and several post-1969 shorts.
• Porky Pig 101 uses the correct music tracks wherever OTL's set uses incorrect cues.
• The Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection features every Bugs Bunny cartoon, as well as all cartoons with his prototype.
• Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies received a DVD and Blu-ray release in 2012, featuring commentary done by Joe Alaskey and Bob Bergen in-character as Daffy and Porky. Said commentary consists of neither Daffy nor Porky looking fondly on their experience.
• The German dub retains the translation style used IOTL until the 1990s. After Dieter Kursawe (Daffy Duck) died in 1996 and Gerd Vespermann (Bugs Bunny) died in 2000, soundalikes (instead of Gerald Schaale and Sven Plate) were hired to succeed them.
• The series logo was not changed in 2024. The 2007 logo was retained, with the WB shield at the bottom updated to the current one.

The Bugs Bunny Show

The series moved from ABC to WBC in 1968 (as Johnson, not CBS, aired The Road Runner Show and bought the broadcast rights for Bugs Bunny cartoons) and then to Cartoon Network in 1995. It still airs to this day, and has seen many changes:

• The series was known as The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour from 1968 to 1978, when the series expanded to 90 minutes and became The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show. In 1983, The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show reverted to 60 minutes, which has been its runtime since then. In 1988, the series was rebranded back to The Bugs Bunny Show.
• The original negatives weren't used for editing the bridging sequences from The Bugs Bunny Show or The Road Runner Show; duplicate prints were instead provided at WBC's request.
• In 1984, "It's Cartoon Gold" replaced "This Is It", and the 1981 opening was brought back in 1985. That version was used until 1992, when it was replaced by the version from that year in OTL, the only differences being that Tweety doesn't wear a top hat, Speedy Gonzales replaces Sylvester Jr. in the character lineup, and a wide shot of the stage is used instead of the first title card; the second title card displays the show's title in spotlights on a blue curtain and shows Bugs appearing next to the logo. Also in 1985, the "End of Part One" and "Start of Part Two" segments from The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show were revived.
• In 2004, a new version using the stage and outfits from Chuck Jones' 1976 special Bugs and Daffy's Carnival of the Animals was produced, with the same lineup of characters as the 1992 open (all in white and silver tuxedos). The show's title card and credits sequence now had a red curtain backdrop. The "End of Part One" and "Start of Part Two" segments were similarly redone.
• The 2004 opening sequence was replaced in 2019, when the current version was created to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, as well as the then-upcoming 80th anniversary of Bugs Bunny and the 90th anniversary of the Looney Tunes franchise; it depicts Bugs and Daffy in their tuxedos and stage from "Show Biz Bugs", which provided the inspiration for the show's bridging sequences. The lineup of characters goes like this: Tweety, Speedy Gonzales, Hippety Hopper, Yosemite Sam, Penelope Pussycat, Pepé Le Pew, Petunia Pig, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Elmer Fudd, Melissa Duck, Honey Bunny, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote (who stares obsessively at the Road Runner), and Foghorn Leghorn. This intro was animated by Eric Goldberg. The title card was now presented with the same spotlight motif from pre-1981 openings.
• From 1995 onwards (when the series moved to Cartoon Network), cartoons produced between 1933 and 1948 were added to the rotation, and all cartoons were now presented with their original opening and closing titles. More modern cartoons were added as well, and new bridging scenes were created to be shown before and after commercials.
• All 52 episodes of the 1960-62 run were released on home media and Warner Max in 2020, digitally restored; bonus features include additional opening and closing sequences, commentaries, a jukebox, all bridging sequences from The Road Runner Show, etc. The German version (Mein Name ist Hase) also received a remastered release, with each episode using the titles from Pro7/Sat.1 airings.

The Magic School Bus Rides Again

The series has many differences from OTL:

• The series is simply called The Magic School Bus as in the 1994-97 series, with "Rides Again" being the title of the first episode.
• Valerie Frizzle is still the teacher, with Fiona (still voiced by Kate McKinnon) only appearing in a handful of episodes and not trying as hard at being "hip" or "groovy".
• Phoebe (voiced by T.J. McGibbon) is still present. Jyoti is still in Ms. Frizzle's class as a new student, still the class' technology expert, but sometimes takes multiple tries to build a gadget (many of which are homemade-looking), as well as being naive due to being the new kid in class; in other words, far from the flawless Mary Sue she was IOTL. Phoebe even grows out of her naive newcomer status to join her friends in mentoring Jyoti while still remaining a sweet, innocent animal lover.
  • Jyoti's outfit is the same as OTL, but orange-colored to give her a more distinct color from Dorothy Ann.
  • Also, her catchphrases are "Here it is, Ms. Frizzle!" when she presents a gadget and "These things don't happen on most field trips" when she remarks about something happening during a field trip.
• The opening sequence is a shot-for-shot recreation of the 1994 version with the addition of Jyoti (both visuals and vocals), as well as more fluid animation and shading, and being in widescreen; the original Little Richard-performed theme song was used in the first three seasons, with Erykah Badu re-recording the theme from the fourth season onward after Richard's 2020 death, with the fourth season premiere dedicated in his memory. As an aside, all spoken dialogue (including Ms. Frizzle's line "Seat belts, everyone!" and Arnold's line "PLEASE let this be a normal field trip!") use the exact same audio as the 1994 intro (though Arnold's original voice actor, Amos Crawley, is uncredited).
• The characters all have their distinct personalities and distinct ways of learning as in the original series; they all continue using their catchphrases as well rather than just Arnold and Dorothy Ann.
• The series uses the same character designs (though slightly taller as the children in Ms. Frizzle's class still become fifth graders; they're also drawn with different heights) and artstyle as the 1994 series; the animation style in general is much better due to being animated by Nelvana and Hanho Heung-Up rather than 9-Story Media Group.
• Much better writing and plots. There are also real conflicts among some of the kids from time to time, including rivalries amongst paired students and some of them making lighthearted snarky comments from time to time.
• The producer segments return, with Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Susan Blu reprising their roles as the producers. The opening is a modernized version of the 1990s one, with smartphones replacing the older landlines, 1990s cellphones and phone booths; the dialogue and music are unaltered.
• The voice acting also has better direction.
• It doesn't try as hard at being relevant to late-2010s culture.
• Dorothy Ann pronounces research as "ruh-SEARCH" as in the 1990s series instead of "REE-search".
• Some episodes feature book-exclusive characters Alex (portrayed as laid-back), Amanda Jane (portrayed as a joker), Carmen (portrayed as artistic and using her appearance from "Goes on Air"), Florrie (portrayed as intelligent), Gregory (portrayed as a snarker with a tender side) John (portrayed as a worrier), Michael (portrayed as imaginative and using his appearance from "Makes a Stink"), Molly (portrayed as outgoing and energetic), Phil (portrayed as a realist), Rachel (portrayed as competitive and athletic), and Shirley (portrayed as sweet and kind) as students in other classes, all depicted as fourth-graders.
• Because it was more successful, it was renewed for additional seasons beyond the first two; the third season in 2019, followed by five specials in 2020, and the fourth season in 2021. It also airs reruns on syndication.
• There was one rather-memorable episode where Ms. Frizzle's niece visits, and said niece happens to be one of Lily Tomlin's characters, Edith Ann.

Jyoti as she appears in the series

The Magnificent Seven

Because Japan is part of the United States, Seven Samurai saw a widespread release on the mainland. The Magnificent Seven, a remake of the film for American audiences, does not exist ITTL. The iconic theme song still exists in the Johnsonverse, but not until Cal Johnson composed it in 1996 as the opening theme for Monster World.

Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart

• Its second season was produced, as intended.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

• The series wasn't canceled due to the IOC not pursuing NFTs.

Marvel franchises

Many of Marvel's franchises have massive differences from OTL due to Johnson buying Marvel in 2002.

General

• Characters use their powers more often, rather than simply punching.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

• While the Marvel Cinematic Universe still exists, numerous films and television series are done differently from OTL (several films in the MCU are more serious and less light-hearted/childish or formulaic than IOTL; for example, Thor: Ragnarok isn’t a complete whiplash in tone from its predecessors, with Thor remaining a serious being and several moments not being played for laughs); some of the characters are different as well. Also, several films do not exist, and Marvel doesn't produce nearly as many projects yearly.
• Iron Man isn't overused, with Spider-Man being the central character instead.

The Avengers

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

• The series aired on WBC Kids from 2010 to 2021. Because of this, Avengers Assemble does not exist; a series with the same name focusing on the A-Next characters premiered in 2022.

Captain Marvel

• Carol Danvers' arc is much better handled, not being the same as the Winter Soldier's.
• Kamala Khan wasn't killed and resurrected as a mutant to enforce synergy with the MCU.

Inhumans

Inhumans (2017)

Due to Ike Perlmutter's firing after Johnson's purchase of Marvel, this series is completely different from OTL, aside from the cast.

• It premiered a year later than IOTL.
• The series takes major inspiration from series like Game of Thrones, as well as further adherence to the Inhumans mythology.
• The Inhumans themselves, while still bigoted and arrogant, undergo major character development after being exiled to Earth and losing their powers (which gets much greater focus), becoming more humble.
• Rather than Maximus, an Earth Inhuman is included in the main cast, opposing the caste system.
• Mordis isn't played up as a monster.
• Karnak and Jen's relationship gets greater build-up.
• The special effects and costumes are much better, as is the opening sequence.
• Its aesthetic is much more comic-accurate.

New Warriors

• The 2020 reboot is nearly completely different from OTL, aside from one of its main characters being non-binary. For one, none of the characters are based on 2020's fads, and all the characters have different designs and names. Here is an idea of what they look like.

Spider-Man

• The series went back to the dynamic, real-time continuity of pre-1994 issues in 2004. Neither One More Day nor Sins Past exist.
• Parker Industries was disbanded after The Superior Spider-Man finished.
• Miles Morales' codename for any comic or adaptation in which he and Peter Parker co-exist together is Spider-Volt (a reference to his electrical powers) to avoid confusion in-universe; his main superhero alias is still Spider-Man. He is also positioned as young and relatable compared to the older, experienced Peter.
• Jefferson Davis was renamed to Jefferson Morales after Johnson pointed out that that was the name of the president of the Confederacy. The name change applies to projects such as Insomniac's games and Into the Spider-Verse. The explanation of why he took his wife Rio's surname is still given as him wanting to distance himself from his family's criminal background.
• Ghost-Spider was not introduced to Earth-616, staying in Earth-65 instead. Instead, Silk is much more prominent and became the third member of the main Spider-People alongside Peter and Miles. Also, the main continuity doesn't turn supporting characters into superheroes, and Tiana Toomes/Starling became Miles' primary love interest, with Hailey Cooper from the Insomniac series being created as another of Miles' allies.
• Earth-1610 (the Ultimate Universe) was not merged into Earth-616.
• Venom remains a black, monstrous version of Spider-Man instead of a generic monster, with his tendrils incorporating slimy webs. This also applies to all adaptations.
• A Ghost-Spider video game by Insomniac set in a different continuity from Insomniac's main games was released on October 20, 2023 (the release date of OTL's Spider-Man 2).
• Silk has a completely different origin story from OTL, in which she's bitten by a genetically modified Oscorp golden silk orb-weaver instead of the common house spider that bit Peter, before Oscorp keeps her as their guinea pig to exploit her new spider-silk abilities. After years in isolation, she is shipped to a Roxxon-owned offshore facility, catching up to modern Spider-Man lore; Roxxon uses Cindy's physiology as a Spider-Woman to create a genetically modified spider (hoping to start a new generation of superheroes) that gets stolen by the Prowler and later bites Miles Morales. She later escapes with the help of Peter and hopes to reunite with her family. Cindy also isn't ever sexually attracted with Peter, nor does she ever wear a skimpy outfit made of webs. Finally, she moves from New York City to San Francisco.
• New villains were created specifically for Miles and Cindy, rather than Peter's existing villains being used. Most of Miles' villains are teenagers to set them apart from Peter's adult villains, with one of them having the ability to resist Miles' electrical powers and forcing him to use his wits more often. Miles' OTL villains such as Bumbler, Frost Pharaoh, and Hightail still exist, but some ideas such as Miles wielding a sword made from his Venom powers don't.
• Peter isn't reduced to a wimp to make Miles seem stronger, nor does he lose as often.
• Most adaptations of Mary Jane Watson under Johnson depict her as an outgoing, witty supermodel. Also, her Earth-616 incarnation does not become Jackpot.
• Since 2015, the 1963 logo is used on merchandise, replacing the 2005 logo. Another logo (based on OTL's 2016 logo) is used for Miles Morales.
• Zeb Wells did not work on The Amazing Spider-Man.
• There aren't nearly as many Spider-Society crossover books; those that still exist are mainly lower-stakes anthologies about different Spider-People teaming up, with different artstyles for each reality. Also, characters that diverge from the idea of getting powers from a spider bite aren't tied to the Spider-Man series, having different names and supporting casts instead.
• Adaptations of lesser-known Spider-Man universes have also been made.
• Ben Reilly is utilized more, constantly being in Peter's shadow yet becoming his own person, as well as having his own side characters and plots.

Films

• More films set in the Sam Raimi continuity were released. The fourth film was released in 2011 as planned, and the fifth film was released in 2014.

Spider-Man 3

• Venom is not in the film, which only has the Sandman as the main antagonist. Venom instead appears in Spider-Man 4, released in 2011, where he is played by Hayden Christensen.

MCU films

• Tobey Maguire's Peter was brought over into the MCU (along with the supporting cast from the Raimi films) and became the central character, rather than the films being rebooted twice and Iron Man being the MCU's main focus. After Captain America: Civil War, Peter retires from being Spider-Man, with the MCU Spider-Man movies being about Miles Morales (Caleb McLaughlin), who starts out as a criminal influenced by his uncle Aaron, who takes him under his wing after being bitten by the spider due to the death of Jefferson, initially using his powers to commit theft for money, then gradually becoming more heroic throughout the films before becoming a full-fledged hero and Peter giving Miles his blessing to become the new Spider-Man, though his origins as a criminal make him more willing to do things Peter wouldn't.
• MCU Spider-Man's suit only uses CGI for his eye lenses, otherwise being practical; he also wears suits far more faithful to those in the comics than OTL's MCU Peter, with his web-shooters using a similar design to Peter's in OTL's The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
• J. Jonah Jameson retires from the Daily Bugle and starts a news podcast, Facts, Period.
• Spider-Man's villains aren't connected to Tony Stark.
• There is more interpersonal drama.
• Because the series was never rebooted, No Way Home simply involves Peter coming out of retirement to join Miles.

Sony's Spider-Man Universe

As these films and series were made by Marvel Studios instead of Sony, they're all very different, being part of the MCU:

• Venom is very different due to being connected to the Raimi films.
• In Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the tone is much closer to the first film (to the point of receiving an R rating), Cletus is played by Pablo Schreiber instead of Woody Harrelson, Cletus and Carnage's characterizations are much more faithful to the comics, and Anne Weying doesn't become a damsel in distress in the third act.
• Morbius has Milo's jealousy towards the non-handicapped expanded on (thus giving him greater reason to kill), Adrian Toomes and Dr. Emil Nicholas have larger roles, and the stingers are completely different, in which Morbius meets up with Eddie Brock instead of Adrian Toomes.
• Madame Web is even more different: all four Spider-Women have powers (rather than only Cassie), get their costumes in the story (instead of them only being shown during visions set in the distant future), and fight Ezekiel, who is much more competent and threatening, also having different motivations; the story, effects, and dialogue are all different, while Ezekiel's lines are dubbed better. Also, Cassie doesn't abandon the three teenagers she's forced to save or act irritable toward them, Richard Parker is the government agent Ezekiel murdered, Ben and Mary Parker don't appear, there is significantly less Pepsi product placement, and Mattie, Anya, and Julia's costumes all incorporate eye lenses, with Julia's costume having a less detailed chest emblem and lacking exposed cheeks.

Games

Spider-Man (Insomniac)

As Johnson purchased Insomniac in 2013, there are several differences to the Insomniac Spider-Man games.

• Mary Jane works as a model instead of a reporter, and is characterized as a fiercely independent, charismatic and tough-as-nails survivor who is fashion-savvy and takes pride in her appearance, yet dresses casually when not working, usually hangs out with men, has a witty streak and can even take part in action; she's still voiced by Laura Bailey, while Stephanie Tyler Jones is still the facial model. Instead, Betty Brant (G. K. Bowes) takes her place as the intrepid reporter who helps Peter with his investigations and gives him intel, though MJ still physically appears in the game as Peter's ex-love interest who gets back with him at the end, and there are mentions of her past as a party girl in high school. Also, Black Cat's utilized for stealth sections.
• Each game has a live service multiplayer option, as well as an Army of Two-style co-op mode.
• Story beats are written to make sense with the world and characters.
• The Chrysler Building is present in Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Spider-Man 2. Likewise, the Empire State Building retains its real-life design in the latter, and instead of a generic skyscraper on the World Trade Center site, the Twin Towers II are present.
• John Bubniak remains as Peter's facial model in later games and the remaster of the first game instead of Ben Jordan.
• Its timeline is better organized.
• Like in Ultimate Spider-Man, Nadji Jeter uses his natural voice for Miles instead of a higher-pitched voice.
• In addition to the Venom spin-off game, there will be another spin-off game in the series, rumored to be a Miles-focused game with Silk as the second playable character.
• The Great Web, a live-service game allowing players to play as different Spider-Men and Spider-Women, wasn't canceled.
• Characters are modeled by creating bodies and putting clothes on top, instead of a "the clothes make the body" mindset.

Spider-Man

• Screwball doesn't appear in The City That Never Sleeps DLC, with her challenges being replaced by new Taskmaster Challenges. Also, Miles gives his age as 16 instead of 15, as said DLC takes place at the end of 2019, the year Miles Morales takes place in (Miles' birthday is confirmed to fall in late January).
• Steve Ditko's suit design is a secret unlockable. This carries over to Spider-Man 2.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

• There aren't nearly as many bugs.
• Miles has a very different characterization: he's smart but doesn't come off as nerdy like Peter, has a different style for his quips, is more serious-minded, incorporates NYC slang, AAVE, and Spanish words into his vocabulary, and has different goals and a more distinct backstory from Peter. His wardrobe is different as well, consisting of different shirts other than Peter-style button-ups and Jordan shoes instead of Adidas. He also feels out-of-place at Brooklyn Visions Academy, like in Into the Spider-Verse, though he becomes more confident by Spider-Man 2.
• Hailey, Ganke, and Rio have more characterization.
• There are more police interactions in this and Spider-Man 2, with police scanner audio heard when crimes are reported.
• Miles doesn't reveal his identity as Spider-Man to Rio until the next game.
• Miles' age is listed as 16 instead of 17, as the game takes place in December 2019; the postcard sidequest post-game takes place in late January 2020 (four weeks after the main story ends), and Miles' age is changed to 17 in his bio after the main story is completed.
• While Phin is still the Tinkerer, she is explicitly not meant to be sympathetic; she's shown to be an angry youth unaware of what she's doing or saying, and it's acknowledged that her annoying behavior is a bad thing. Also, she isn't redeemed after attacking an anti-Roxxon rally, with Miles losing the fight with Phin; Prowler nearly dies trying to save his nephew, with Phin killed in the crossfire.

Spider-Man 2

• The lighting in this and the PS5 version of the first game stick closer to the cinematic approach of the first game.
• There aren't nearly as many bugs (e.g. all citizens run away from danger, slingshots don't allow as much webbing to be used, enemies are more aware, and people can be saved from being run over during car chases).
• The character models are much closer to their actors due to using improved facial scanning technology. Mary Jane's face better resembles the concept art, while Peter and Miles similarly wear their outfits and hairstyles from their concept art as well.
• Scott Porter reprised his role as Harry from the first game.
• Features from previous games weren't removed or moved to patches, such as New Game+, Ultimate difficulty, Suit Powers, Selfie Mode, replaying missions, bases and crimes, changing time and weather, traversal milestones, in-game social media, replayable podcasts, newspapers, and character bios.
• There are more bases and side activities.
• Its plot has many differences:
  • The entire game is much longer, with Peter and Miles both having more balance story-wise by having separate storylines that occasionally intertwine before the two converge at the end.
  • The characters are more realistic and better-written instead of being overly polite caricatures like IOTL, their actions have more consequences rather than being swept under the rug, and the world isn't depicted as positive like it was IOTL. Also, side characters in the game have backbones and negative traits, as well as cursing occasionally (especially the Brooklyn Visions students), while Miles uses more realistic slang. This also happens in Miles Morales.
  • Miles is more involved in the overall story. Instead of him hunting down musical instruments, his plot introduces new characters and villains to the Insomniac series while still focusing on helping out the community.
  • Harry's characterization is much more fleshed out. Also, there are several points where Peter and MJ try to tell Harry that the symbiote made Peter kill multiple Hunters and attempted to kill MJ and Miles, only for Harry to brush those concerns off; Harry is also shown to need Peter due to being out in the world for years. Finally, Venom has more screentime through cutscenes, additional playable missions, and additional boss battles with Peter.
  • While Hailey still appears in the game, she's just friends with Miles rather than his girlfriend. Instead, Tiana Toomes/Starling (Dani Chambers) is Miles' love interest, allowing for connectivity between herself and Miles due to her grandfather Adrian being killed.
  • Rather than appearing in a post-credits scene, Cindy Moon (Kristen Li) is another major character who is playable in some missions, similar to Miles in the first game. She is introduced as the daughter of Rio's new boyfriend Albert Moon (Tom Choi) like IOTL's version and later gets bitten by a third radioactive spider that escapes from Oscorp's lab. As a result, the post-credits scene she's in instead sees her showing her new powers to Miles.
  • Miles is present in every major battle (messing up along with Peter and Harry) up until Peter gets the symbiote, giving a reason for Peter in the symbiote suit to see Miles as a deadweight. There are also many more missions where Peter and Miles work together as a duo, and Miles is shown to need Peter as a mentor at times.
  • Miles doesn't reveal his Spider-Man identity to Hailey until she's rescued from the symbiote, and doesn't ask her out while Peter fights the symbiotes. Hailey also doesn't stun a symbiote with a can of spray paint.
  • Ganke also has a different role beyond re-explaining plot points or doing things Miles is too busy for.
  • Peter himself is much more competent with and without the symbiote, being far less of a pushover (e.g. not acting like Mary Jane is right about everything in the boss fight against Scream) and being more of a trash-talker like in the first game. Also, he doesn't apologize nearly as much after being released from the symbiote, it takes longer for him to become evil while he's in the symbiote suit with his actions gradually building up, there are more scenes showing further consequences from Peter in the symbiote suit, there are more missions showing how the symbiote is affecting Peter in combat (with Miles trying to convince him to take it off and the two nearly coming to blows as a result), and the game leans into the "new" Peter being stronger and more powerful combined with Peter getting more stressed.
  • Peter is killed when Kraven stabs him, leading to a funeral being held for him; after that, a couple hours of missions are spent playing as Miles, followed by the famous scene of Peter crawling out of his grave in the symbiote suit from the comics. Due to Miles struggling to handle Kraven, Li and other criminals on his own, New York City is in a much worse place than before, enraging Peter into cleaning up his city, fueling the symbiote's rage as his anger increases.
  • The third act is very different: in both Harry and the symbiote's resentment towards Peter, they frame Venom as a rogue Spider-Man, and Harry reveals himself as "Agent Venom", vowing to stop Spider-Man and making Peter out as a menace.
  • New York City is much grittier, with homeless people walking around and people fighting or cursing.
  • Venom antagonizes Peter by going after his loved ones before the invasion (such as "healing" the staff and homeless in F.E.A.S.T., "healing" Miles with the symbiote and leading to a boss fight between Peter and Miles where Peter repays him for helping him out of the symbiote earlier, attacking the graves of Aunt May, Uncle Ben, and Jefferson Morales, "healing" Rio, Hailey, and Ganke, and "healing" Betty, MJ, Harry, Gwen, Flash, and Ned). There is also a boss battle between Peter and Venom in Times Square.
  • Vulture, Shocker and Electro aren't killed offscreen.
  • Other superhumans such as Starling, Tombstone, and Prowler assist Peter and Miles in the symbiote invasion, while police officers, military officers and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are also seen mobilizing and equipping leftover Silver Sable tech (because of this, Jameson's rant in a podcast episode about how the government isn't doing anything is replaced by a line referencing the mobilization). There are lines implying that other heroes such as the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Doctor Strange, and Wong all had other important matters, explaining why none of them come to New York City during the invasion.
  • Only Peter and Miles go into the heart of the symbiote's nest to take the key, which is much better guarded than IOTL; Miles takes the key while Peter fights the symbiotes.
  • The symbiote invasion has a section taking place at The Daily Bugle's headquarters, along with another instance of J. Jonah Jameson claiming the Spider-Men have come to kidnap him when they're actually rescuing him.
  • Rather than the Anti-Venom Suit being unlocked immediately after Peter is rescued from the symbiote by Miles and Martin Li, there's a boss fight in which Peter must defeat the symbiote (which took the form of Peter), after which the Anti-Venom Suit is unlocked.
  • The final fight takes place between Peter/Miles and Venom instead of just Miles and Venom, and is also a boss phase instead of a quick-time event, taking place on the street like in the trailer.
  • The Sinister Six are all killed by Peter in the symbiote rather than Kraven killing them off-screen.
  • Yuri Watanabe/Wraith has a much larger role in the story beyond a series of side missions. Her origin and quest are very different, she is characterized as a dark antihero like in The City That Never Sleeps, has more confrontations with Peter along with more explorations of her dilemma, and her character development from previous appearances wasn't thrown out like IOTL. She also has a different hairstyle, mask and suit, and uses the rope weapon like in the comics rather than a kusarigama.
  • Many cut story elements are present, such as Peter and Venom's daytime boss battle (there are other battles in the open world as well), random events of Venom jumping out at Peter from a random point in the story, additional scenes like the aforementioned symbiote battle in the Daily Bugle headquarters, and more.
  • The woman who sits next to Harry on the rollercoaster in the Coney Island mission gives her name as Gwen Stacy, and she has a larger role, forming a romance with Harry (and crying when she sees his body on the bed), being among those brainwashed by the symbiote, and befriending Miles; she is portrayed as a flawed beauty queen who wants to become a socialite like in her comic appearances before she was killed. Also introduced are Gwen's father Captain George Stacy (voiced by Mark Hamill), who fills Yuri's role from the first game by giving Peter and Miles intel on criminal activity throughout New York City, Flash Thompson (voiced by Roger Craig Smith), and Ned Leeds (Brock Baker), all of whom are brainwashed by the symbiote as well.
  • It's revealed that the vial of sand that was a backpack collectible in the first game contained only part of the Sandman, explaining his presence in the opening mission.
  • Miles and Martin Li's subplot is more developed, with Miles de-prioritizing other aspects of his life such as sleep, schoolwork, his friends, and his community in his obsession with revenge against the man who killed Jefferson. The subplot involving his 500-word college essay is more minor.
  • When Miles and Li enter Peter's head, Peter's thoughts are heard instead of the two interpreting what's happening.
  • Miles isn't able to finish his college essay or land his interview, as he had de-prioritized his schoolwork due to focusing on his duties as Spider-Man. He also gets called out for revealing Peter's identity to his friends without his permission, as well as mocking Peter for losing his job.
  • Mary Jane and Peter's relationship is better written. Also, their relationship has several issues that are only worsened by the symbiote, culminating in the fight with Scream.
  • Miles' Blue Venom abilities come from the Nuform he absorbed in Miles Morales, rather than anger at Li.
  • Peter doesn't retire from being Spider-Man.
  • The overall pacing is more consistent.
• Yuri Lowenthal's voice direction is much better, mainly in scenes where Peter is influenced by the symbiote (specifically, he doesn't scream nearly as often, and becomes silent when things get serious like in the comics) and interacting with MJ.
• The dialogue is more realistic (e.g. more quips between Miles, Rio, and Ganke, as well as teenage miscommunication between them, and Peter and MJ's interactions are different).
• Many cut gameplay elements from OTL's leaks were included, including destructible environments.
• While the Mysterio missions are still only playable with Miles, it's explained that Peter allows Miles to do them so Miles can gain experience due to Mysterio not being seen as particularly dangerous.
• The symbiote suit resembles the one from OTL's Venom film more closely, while the Anti-Venom Suit has a less slimy texture. It can be swapped on the spot as well like in Web of Shadows and can be separately chosen from the regular suit.
• A dynamic day/night/weather cycle was introduced, automatically switching to the desired time of day and weather when a mission starts like in Grand Theft Auto V.
• "The Flame" has alternate dialogue when Peter wears the symbiote, and the third manor mission has alternate gameplay when said suit is worn.
• Venom's portrayal is much closer to the source material; also, instead of Venom being treated as a separate being, he's treated as a continuation of Harry and the symbiote, with Harry doing everything willingly but his actions being influenced by the symbiote like Peter. He has more playable missions as well, with more scenes showing his rampage through New York City as he corrupts its citizens.
• Danika and Jameson's respective characterizations are more accurate to the first game and Miles Morales (being cheerful and positive without being annoying and understanding when and when not to discuss Spider-Man, respectively). Danika also isn't nearly as narratively omniscient (e.g. she doesn't blame EMF when they're attacked by Kraven's men, doesn't immediately know that the Black Suit is evil and only becoming suspicious once Peter doesn't act like himself, and she doesn't simply recap what the Spider-Men have done in-game), is more of a parody of left-wing hosts (similar to Jameson being a parody of right-wing hosts like Alex Jones) instead of being used as a soapbox, and like in Miles Morales, she frequently interacts with Jameson. Jameson also gloats about how "right" he is about Spider-Man during the scenes where Peter's wearing the symbiote suit (as well as being perceptive about the trouble said suit is causing) while MJ and Danika try to defend Spider-Man as he gets worse (only realizing their mistake when the invasion starts), is hinted to not believe his own statements, and abuses his unheard assistant Jared like in the first game.
• Both "Roll Like We Used To" and "Healing The World" are much shorter, and skippable in New Game+.
• The Anti-Venom suit isn't nerfed.
• Both Peter and Miles' suits wrinkle as they dive.
• Starla (whose social media name is SterlingGrape and who is mentioned to have died in the City Hall bombing attack in the first game) has her name mentioned in the memorial listing the victims of the attack.
• Otto isn't among the friends Peter texts on his computer next to Harry in the 2010 flashback, as they didn't meet until Peter was in college.
• Betty's weakness is physical combat, like in the first game (e.g. her taser gun isn't overpowered like MJ's was IOTL).
• The puzzles and combat are more refined, the former consisting of more environmental puzzles than 2D grids and the latter having better parry attacks, and Peter and Miles' abilities focus more on acrobatic combat.
• There is more content in the open world, as well as more details (e.g. Aunt May's house has many references to Peter's early superhero career).
• Peter uses his robot arms more often in cutscenes.
• Taskmaster returns in the game, providing new challenges for Peter and Miles in addition to Mysterio's challenges. They include combat, stealth, and traversal challenges like in the previous games.
• Thugs are more common.
• There is a greater variety of suits for Peter and Miles, including all suits from the first game and Miles Morales, as well as more original suits and additional suits from comics, films, and television series (e.g. Man-Spider from the 1994 series and Spider-Cop from Across the Spider-Verse). Both also have a much wider array of gadgets and abilities, and Peter's Sam Raimi suit is more accurate. Miles' Evolved Suit is completely different, resembling this concept (albeit with electric blue webbing for the mask and body instead of black and white, respectively), and its introduction is built up with Miles' suit being damaged during the symbiote attack. Also, the symbiote suits all have different tendril colors, Peter's robot arms are customizable and upgradable, and there's a custom suit maker that allows players to design their own suits (with interchangeable and upgradable basic layouts, eyes, gloves, and shooters; crates and bosses can reward players with dyes and themed parts).
• Missions with both Peter and Miles give players the ability to switch between them; both characters do unique actions during the missions.
• There are more stealth interactions, and thus more stealth gadgets. The thermos scanner from Miles Morales returns as well.
• Face designs aren't overly round.
• Aside from the Sonic Burst, Web Grabber, and the Venom and Venom suit-exclusive Ricochet Web, all the gadgets from the first game return. Gold gadgets do not exist.
• All skills from the previous games return.
• Miles' camouflaging abilities can be upgraded in the Skill Tree to last longer and include bonuses for stealth and combat, like in Miles Morales. His camouflage also has offensive capabilities and a doubled combo counter like in that game.
• When playing as Peter or Miles, the other is more frequently encountered in free roam, running and swinging behind them. Special moves use the character not being played, and both characters are capable of double finisher moves.
• The mod system isn't changed to a separate Suit Tech tree.
• On rooftops, the Swing Kick is replaced by a similar move that doesn't use webs.
• The bar-based focus system returns, with Miles' Venom Power integrated into an L1-based Power Gauge system alongside Peter's own. Healing can be done at any time like in the first two games instead of only being done when the player's focus bar is full.
• There are more random crimes encountered in the open world, occurring more frequently. Emergency responders also appear after Peter or Miles finish crimes.
• There are more bases scattered throughout the city.
• Car chases involve catching up to the cars and landing on them, as well as using webs to stop the tires or swing ahead and put web-lines between buildings to stop the cars, instead of them being over with the press of a button, and the animations of Peter (or Miles) throwing criminals out of the cars individually were carried over. Helicopter and boat chases are also added.
• Backpacks return in the game, providing additional lore. Photo ops also return.
• There are multiple parrying options.
• The Symbiote Surge suit change is optional.
• Symbiote takedown animations and screams were not removed in New Game+, and there are more than two symbiote finishers.
• At no point is Hailey ever playable.
• The Brooklyn Visions side missions involve individual open-world tasks instead of multi-step questlines; the mission involving Vijay (who has a far less stereotypical voice and mannerisms) and his partner is instead tied to the story, and involves Miles (who is not in his Spider-Man suit during this scene) being afraid to ask Tiana out on a date and consulting the two for advice, instead of Vijay being nervous to ask his partner out to homecoming. None of the people in the missions use the FNSM App to call Miles for help either.
• There aren't any bike sections.
• Peter and Miles have slightly different gameplay from one another: Peter is stronger, faster, has better Spider-Sense, and is more gadget-focused, while Miles has more skill options focused on stealth (Venom electric powers and invisibility, with a quicker cool-down time than Peter). Their respective styles also reflect that Peter has been Spider-Man for several years, while Miles has only been Spider-Man for several months.
• Police remain a major part of the game.
• A statue of Steve Ditko is located in Brooklyn, specifically where a Captain America statue formerly was before it moved to a Bed Bath & Beyond.
• New Game+ has tutorial prompts.
• The game was pushed back to June 2024 to give Insomniac more time to improve the game. There was also a DLC expansion released in August 2024, with new chapters released monthly.
• Johnson refused to remove all mentions of LGBTQ+ culture for the Middle East. As a result, the game was banned there.

Series

Spider-Man: The New Animated Series

• The series lasted from 2003 to 2007 ITTL.

The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008)

• The series was produced by Johnson instead of Sony Pictures Television and aired on WBC Kids from 2008 to 2012. It was succeeded by sequel series Ultimate Spider-Man (which ran from 2013 to 2021 and follows Miles Morales, not to be confused with OTL's series), followed by The Amazing Spider-Girl since 2022. Here is an idea of what Miles looks like in his suit, along with an idea of what Mayday looks like (both as Spider-Girl and in her Midtown High basketball uniform), though she has heterochromia in the series.
• J. Jonah Jameson is voiced by J. K. Simmons instead of Daran Norris.

Spidey And His Amazing Friends

The series doesn't exist. Instead, a Ghost-Spider-focused series, Spider-Gwen, premiered in 2021 on Netflix.

MasterChef

• Joe Bastianich was dismissed from the show in 2019, with Nyesha Arrington taking his place starting in Season 11.
• Pressure tests were not removed from the show.

Match Game

In 1991, the series moved from ABC to WBC, continuing its run until 2003, when it moved to daily syndication. It was brought back on ABC in 2015 and continues today.

• Ross Shafer was replaced with original host Gene Rayburn, who continued hosting until his 1999 death. Michael Burger has hosted ever since.
• The 1990 set and music continued in use until 1998, when they were replaced by their OTL counterparts (although the set wasn't changed mid-season and the panel continued using six celebrities as it does today rather than five; the contestant area on the left side is also a turntable so it can rotate for the Super Match). In 2003, the set was replaced with a replica of the 1973-78 set, and the show reverted to the 1970s version's theme music. This set was also used in Game$how Marathon in 2006. It was replaced with a modernized version in 2015 (namely, the one from Alec Baldwin's version IOTL). Production also moved back to Television City in 1991.
• Gene Wood continued announcing until retiring in 1996. Paul Boland has announced since then.
• Match-Ups were removed from the 1991-92 season onward.

Mega Man franchise

The franchise has seen numerous differences from 2010 onward due to Johnson buying Capcom:

• Mega Man Legends 3 was not canceled, and was released in October 2012.
• Other Mega Man games in the main, X, Legends, and Battle Network series have been released.
• A spin-off series focusing on Roll called Roll Woman was established, with the first game, Roll Woman, released in 2020.
• Mega Man 11 still came out in 2018 as IOTL.
• A feature film was released in 2012, followed by an anime series that ran on WBC from 2013 to 2016, and again since 2018. Its voice cast would be carried over into future projects, including Ben Diskin as Rock and Erica Lindbeck as Roll.

Merv Griffin's Crosswords

• The series airs on WBC's daytime schedule instead of being syndicafed.
• It's called Let's Play Crosswords (one of its working titles IOTL).
• The show tapes at Johnson Studios (next to the Wheel and Jeopardy! stages) instead of Sunset Bronson Studios. There is also a live audience instead of canned applause.
• Its host is WBC KCCI Des Moines weatherman Ryan Hesse instead of Ty Treadway, though Edd Hall is still the announcer.
• The music that plays when a contestant wins the Bonus Round is a reworking of "Frisco Disco", the Jeopardy! closing theme from 1978-79. Both it and the theme song, "Buzzword", were arranged by Tim Mosher & Stoker until 2018, when the current version by John Hoke was introduced. Also, the "Jeopardy!" theme sample is not included in the Crosswords rendition of "Buzzword".
• The crossword and credits font from 2007 to 2018 was Franklin Gothic Demi; they were changed to ITC Lubalin Graph Semi-Bold starting in the 2018-19 season.
• The format goes like this: three contestants (one of whom is a returning champion, without a day limit) compete to win the most money by solving crosswords, building up a cash jackpot that the day's winner plays for at the end (which was Griffin's original intention). The bonus round has them try to guess ten crossword-like clues in a minute (the rest of the puzzle is revealed at the end of Round 3). Instead of Extras, contestants can double their winnings by guessing the common thread of the longest words in the puzzle.
• The values for each word in Round 1 are still $50 for 3-letter words, $100 for 4-6 letter words, and $150 for 7-or-more letter words, while Round 2's values are still $100, $200, and $300, and Round 3's values are $200, $400, and $600. These values were doubled in 2019.
• As with Wheel and Jeopardy!, the title card and graphics change every season.
• The guaranteed house minimum is $1,000, ensuring that winners do not end the game with negative winnings. The second-place contestant goes home with $2,000. Again, these values were doubled in 2019.
• In 2015, the set was redesigned into its current form, incorporating a giant, lit-up Crosswords logo sign.
• Here are descriptions for the opening animations:
  • Season 1: Same as OTL, but in widescreen.
  • Season 2: Similar to Season 1, but with a new logo, which flies through crossword-like patterns.
  • Season 3: Various words being formed in the crossword such as "RAKE" and "DASH", with the Crosswords logo forming from a ten-letter row.
  • Season 4: Similar idea to Season 3, but with different words, backdrops and camera angles.
  • Season 5: Many letters fly against a backdrop to form words, and the Crosswords logo is formed.
  • Season 6:
  • Season 7:
  • Season 8:
  • Season 9:
  • Season 10:
  • Season 11:
  • Season 12:

Metalocalypse

As Mike Lazzo was fired in 2011, the series' final season was produced as planned, and aired in 2014.

The Middle Earth

TBA.

Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls

Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls was picked up by Hasbro in 2016, using creator Lauren Faust's redesigned artstyle from 2014. It was widely acclaimed upon its release, prompting Johnson to announce a television series in 2017; it premiered on The Hub in 2020.

Milo Murphy's Law

• Due to Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus already appearing in spin-off series The O.W.C.A. Files (which got picked up by Johnson and aired from 2015 to 2021), they were not added as major characters in the second season, with references to Phineas and Ferb being limited to "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" and other offhanded mentions. This means that Milo Murphy and his friends get more character development.
• The show did not switch to overly wacky scenarios and overt humor.
• Due to the show seeing more promotion, it did not get cancelled in 2019, and instead ran until 2023, running for five seasons.

Monopoly

• The Monopoly aesthetic resembles a hybrid of pre-2008 and post-2008 aesthetic (which is applied to all countries). Examples include:
  • The Monopoly logo was changed in 1999 to the CGI logo used internationally from 1999-2008 IOTL, with the 1985 logo continuing to be used as a print logo. In 2017, it was replaced by a full-color version of the 1985 logo.
  • The board's style was changed to reflect the UK style introduced in 1996, but with changes.
  • Brown properties are still purple, and purple and blue property cards still have the property name rendered in white.
  • Light blue properties retain the US shade.
  • Go is still rendered in red with a black outline.
  • The Chance space between Park Place and Short Line still uses a red icon instead of orange.
  • Income Tax still has a 10% option alongside the $200 flat fee, and Luxury Tax is still $75 instead of $100.
  • Rich Uncle Pennybags' CGI style heavily resembles the classic design. 2D illustrations continued to be used for Chance and Community Chest cards, as well as Bus Tickets in the Mega Edition. In 2017, the 2D Pennybags design was brought back full-time.
  • The cover from 1999 to 2004 is styled after the 2001 UK cover. In 2004, it was changed to a similar cover to OTL's US cover introduced that year, but with Pennybags in CGI. From 2008 to 2013, OTL's US cover was introduced, with changes to reflect TTL. Since 2013, OTL's 2013 cover is used.
  • The Chance and Community Chest cards are still printed on white cardstock, but retain the 2D illustrations and using the style of the cards in the 2007 Australia Limited Edition, with the backs now using the designs introduced internationally in 2001; the "Bank Pays You Dividend of $50" card still shows Pennybags tossing up a handful of money rather than smoking a cigar). The backs switched to their OTL designs in 2008 and 2013, with Chance using a red design. Also, the Chance and Community Chest cards weren't replaced, with the exception of one of the two "Advance to Nearest Railroad" cards, which was replaced with a card saying, "Go back to Mediterranean Avenue. If you pass Go, collect $200.", based on the "Return to Old Kent Road" card from the UK; the accompanying illustration shows Pennybags walking with his luggage.
  • The $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills are still yellow, green, blue, and beige rather than blue, mint green, purple, and tan, respectively; $1,000 bills used in The Mega Edition are still purple and not yellow. The designs, again, are changed to the 1996 UK designs, albeit with the denominations in the same font as OTL's 2008 US design.
  • The currency used depends on the country (e.g. dollars in the US, Canada, and Australia, euros in Europe, pounds in the UK, etc.), rather than all countries using a fictional symbol since 2013.
  • Houses and hotels, as well as dice (including the Speed Die, which is still blue instead of red) adopted the international style.
  • Title deeds were changed to the international design, with purple and blue property names shown in white. OTL's 2008 and 2013 styles were still adopted.
  • New tokens are added to allow additional players, rather than to replace existing tokens. As of 2024, the current lineup consists of the dog, race car, battleship, thimble, iron, shoe, top hat, wheelbarrow, horse and rider, howitzer, train (introduced to the Deluxe Editions in 1985 and the regular lineup in 1995), money bag (introduced in 1999), Hazel (introduced in 2013), rubber ducky, and penguin (both introduced in 2017).
• Rich Uncle Pennybags was not renamed to Mr. Monopoly, and is voiced by Dean Hagopian in English, Kazuhiko Inoue in Japanese, and Gabriel Chávez in Spanish since 1983.
• The 1935 replica edition is much more accurate to the original 1935 #7 White Box.
• Some editions are either different, or nonexistent (e.g., Ms. Monopoly is instead called Monopoly: Womens' Edition, where all the properties are the same as OTL's Ms. Monopoly, but the rules are the same as the regular game; the Ms. Monopoly character is instead named Millie Pennybags and voiced by Lacey Chabert). A communist version of the game, Monopoly for Communists, was released in 2017.
• Video games give the exact percentage of the player's net worth if Income Tax is landed on.
• The 1999 PC game has some differences:
  • The board is accompanied by a city setting.
  • There are more songs that play in-game, along with more token voiceovers.
• Monopoly Streets has some differences:
  • • The game is developed by Westwood Studios (which developed the 1995 PC game) and published by Hasbro Interactive; this arrangement also occurred in the 2008 video game.
    • A PC version was made.
    • The game itself has a faster pace.
    • Its online mode is much better.
    • There are specific Pennybags voice clips for properties, tokens, AI opponents, and dice rolls.
    • Chance and Community Chest card illustrations have animations based on those from the 1999 PC game, though fully colored and accompanied by Pennybags' narration.
    • Auctions take place at an auction house, with Rich Uncle Pennybags handling the auction. It's also handled more similarly to the 2008 video game.
    • NPC characters on the streets wave to the players and look at their properties.
    • Income Tax has Uncle Sam (in the US) and an IRS-like agent (in other countries) in front of its building, voiced by Christopher Swindle. Luxury Tax has a similar agent as well, voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.
    • New buildings have staff members, such as doormen who take the rent from other players and regard them with disdain.
    • Several structures are different; for example, Income Tax's building resembles the US Capitol. Also, properties visually reflect their value (e.g. purple properties are shown as slums, while blue properties are gated with freshly-cut grass yards and fountains), with construction workers being shown working on buildings if the lots are unimproved (similar to OTL's Monopoly Plus).
    • The player can choose the design of their tower.
    • All dialogue is subtitled.
    • Going to Jail is accompanied by an animation of the sky darkening and helicopter lights flashing, and Officer Edgar O'Mallory (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) stuffing the player into the back of a police van and driving them to Jail, after which the sky lightens again. When the player leaves Jail, it's accompanied by an animation of Officer O'Mallory opening the player's jail cell and saying, "Don'cha be comin' back here, now!" (a reference to the 1991 NES game).
    • The Xbox 360 and Wii versions use their respective consoles' avatars, while the PS3 and PC versions use their own proprietary custom avatars.
    • AI characters speak phrases instead of making repetitive vocal noises and have faster animations. Also, rather than characters being fixed, AI players are selectable from a list of potential opponents along with their tokens like in the 1995 PC game and 1997 PS1 game, with their stats (luck and skill) shown on their profiles, and there is an option for AI opponents to cheat. Here is a list of voices and difficulties for each character:
      • Cindy Robinson as Cynthia (OTL's Dog character, 50% luck, 50% skill)
      • Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Malcolm (OTL's Top Hat character, 60% luck, 80% skill)
      • André Sogliuzzo as Dale (a man in a trench coat, 70% luck, 60% skill)
      • Mona Marshall as Imogene (OTL's Iron character, 30% luck, 20% skill)
      • Stephanie Sheh as Franny (OTL's Shoe character, 90% luck, 70% skill)
      • Tom Kane as Russell (OTL's Battleship character, 80% luck, 90% skill)
      • Kate Higgins as Dee (OTL's Wheelbarrow character, 40% luck, 70% skill)
      • Kath Soucie as Alyson (a little girl in overalls, 70% luck, 50% skill)
      • Daniel Ross as George (OTL's Howitzer character, 60% luck, 90% skill)
      • Billy West as Duke (OTL's Horse and Rider character, 20% luck, 70% skill)
      • Andrew Chaikin as Wilbur (a train conductor, 90% luck, 60% skill)
      • Chris Edgerly as Benjamin (OTL's Money Bag character, 10% luck, 30% skill)
      • Joe Alaskey as Edward (OTL's Police Hat character, 70% luck, 40% skill)
      • Charles Martinet as Guy (a Victorian entrepreneur, 50% luck, 60% skill)
      • Dee Bradley Baker as Joey (an Arctic explorer, 30% luck, 30% skill)
    • The soundtrack is different, using remixes of themes from the 1995 PC game, in addition to new themes.
    • The game has a greater range of customizability.
    • Landmark City is more visually coherent, and there are more city boards.
    • The game received a PC release.
• Monopoly Plus is an updated version of Monopoly Streets for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch, and another updated version simply titled Monopoly was released in 2022 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch; both updated versions feature new boards and completely new voice clips, as well as some added effects (e.g. dice turn yellow in the first double, red in the second double, and volcanic in the third double, similar to OTL's Monopoly Plus) and a greater amount of player slots. Five new AI opponents are added:
  • • Laura Post as Caroline (a cheerleader, 70% luck, 30% skill)
    • Zeno Robinson as James (a cobbler, 60% luck, 60% skill)
    • Kristen Li as Zoe (a nerd, 60% luck, 90% skill)
    • Frank Welker as Mark (an elderly photographer, 30% luck, 50% skill)
    • Carlos Alazraqui as Duncan (a Hawaiian shirt-wearing tourist, 50% luck, 20% skill)
  • Also, the My Little Pony DLC board is different: it's actually set in Equestria rather than being a generic board with MLP images, the playable characters consist of the Mane Six, Spike, Discord, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie Lulamoon, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Derpy Hooves (all voiced by their actors from the show), and Rich Uncle Pennybags is depicted as a mint green Earth pony with a white mane and tail wearing a top hat, bowtie with collar, and a gold coin cutie mark.
• The 2022 remake of Monopoly Tycoon is a straight remaster of the 2001 Deep Red version for consoles with updated graphics and additional tokens, rather than a mobile game.
• Johnson is much more transparent about the game's origins and history.
• Since 1999, Johnson has brought the Stock Exchange add-on back on the market. It's currently a DLC for all Monopoly video games.

Game show

• Peter Tomarken became the host of this show instead of Mike Reilly, as the Rich Uncle Pennybags character was never considered in the 1989 pilot.
• Its format is much faster paced; like the Scrabble game show, many liberties are taken from the board game.
• The show's theme song is an instrumental.
• After the show's original ABC primetime run, the show was sold into syndication starting in September 1990. The syndicated version, like the 1989 pilot, featured returning champions for up to 5 days. As such the bonus round's prize was lowered to the 1989 pilot's value of $10,000, although landing exactly on Go gives the contestant $25,000.
• In 1997, the show's set was revamped and a new version of the theme song was made.
• At the end of the 1998-1999 season, Peter Tomarken retired from Monopoly to focus on the Press Your Luck revival. He was replaced by Marc Summers, who hosted the 1987 runthrough.
• In 2000, the bonus round's prize was increased to the ABC values of $25,000 for passing GO and $50,000 for landing on Go.
• In 2006, the show was broadcast in HD for the first time, and in 2008 the bonus prize values were increased to $50,000 for passing GO and $100,000 for landing on Go. Contestants could also compete on the show for as long as they wanted, and the set was redesigned once again.
• After Charlie O'Donnell's death in 2010, Lora Cain was hired as his replacement after a series of tryouts.
• In 2018, a new ABC primetime version of Monopoly, airing in the summer like the 1990 version. It is again hosted by Marc Summers and features doubled property values and a bonus game played for $250,000 for passing Go and $1,000,000 for landing on Go. That same year, the set assumed its current look, and the theme song was updated.

Monsters At Work

• The animation has a much higher budget.
• Mike and Sulley have more screentime.
• The second season was released in late 2023 instead of early 2024. Jennifer Tilly reprises Celia in that season, while George Sanderson is depicted with his fur grown back.

MultiVersus

The game is a collaboration between Nintendo, Johnson, WarnerMedia, and Paramount Global, and is known as Super Smash Bros. MultiVersus. It is billed as the sequel to SSBU, and (in addition to all returning characters from SSBU) includes all characters from OTL’s MultiVersus and Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl as well, in addition to several other characters owned by Johnson (including Sega, Disney, and all other Johnson subsidiaries, including advertising mascots for Johnson’s food and retail brands). This means that NASB never existed; Tim Curry reprises his role as Nigel Thornberry, Tim Johnson plays Finn, and the 2012 TV show incarnations of Leo, Mikey, April, and Shredder all appear in place of the 1987 versions.

The Muppets

• Since Jim Henson lived until 2018, the franchise has gone through a very different path.
• The franchise (along with Jim Henson Productions) was purchased by Johnson in 1990, rather than Disney purchasing simply the Muppet and Bear in the Big Blue House franchises in 2004. Because of this, The Muppets Studio does not exist.
• A Muppet-themed land called Muppet Studios was opened at Johnson World in 1991, with Muppet*Vision 3D as the first attraction opened, though Mickey Mouse's cameo is replaced with Chocodile (voiced by Noel Blanc).
• Steve Whitmire never got fired from the Muppets and still performs Kermit, Rizzo (who is still Gonzo's sidekick and accompanied him in Muppets Haunted Mansion), the Newsman, Lips (who was given his characterization from OTL's The Muppets Mayhem), Link Hogthrob, and Bean Bunny, and Matt Vogel still performs Kermit's nephew Robin the Frog. Whitmire also still performs Wembley Fraggle and Sprocket in Fraggle Rock-related projects, as well as Ernie and Guy Smiley on Sesame Street.
• Kermit retains his characterization from Jim Henson's tenure due to Henson acting as a mentor to Whitmire.
• Skeeter from Muppet Babies was added to the Muppet Show cast in 1993, with Leslie Carrara-Rudolph as her performer. Here is a concept of her grown-up appearance.
• The current core performers include Whitmire, Eric Jacobson, Dave Goelz, Bill Barretta, Matt Vogel, Richard Hunt, Peter Linz, Kevin Clash, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, and Brian Henson, with additional performers such as David Rudman, Julianne Buescher, Tyler Bunch, Alice Dinnean, Donna Kimball, Bruce Lanoil, Karen Prell, Mike Quinn, etc.
• Muppet characters are still manufactured by the Muppet Workshop instead of Puppet Heap; while some characters (such as Scooter in 2010) were still redesigned, others (such as Gonzo and Fozzie) retain their pre-2010s designs.
• The Jim Henson Hour was picked up by WBC in 1989 after one season on NBC, and ran until 1996. It used the intended format of four segments that rotate weekly: The Storyteller, MuppeTelevision, a storybook adaptation, and a one-off special.
• Because Jim Henson lived to 2018 and Richard Hunt is still alive ITTL, many of their respective characters (Rowlf, Dr. Teeth, Scooter, and Janice) weren't sidelined throughout the 1990s.
• Muppet High ran on WBC from 1991 to 1994.
• Muppets Tonight ran from 1996 to 2001 on WBC. It puts more focus on the classic Muppet Show characters ITTL.
• Muppets from Space is very different: it was delayed until 2000, and is known as Muppets in Space, using Kirk Thatcher's original idea about Kermit being mistaken for the leader of a lost alien civilization, as Jerry Juhl's idea of Gonzo being revealed to be an alien was deemed "antithetical to the idea of Gonzo".
• It's a Very Merry Muppets Christmas Movie aired on WBC instead of NBC, uses a parody of Fear Factor instead of the actual show, and Scooter in the world in which Kermit was never born is a hobo selling bootleg DVDs instead of a cage dancer.
• The Muppets' Wizard of Oz is very different: the role of Toto is played by Rowlf instead of Pepe, who instead plays the Scarecrow, while Kermit plays the Wizard instead. Also, the humor isn't as adult.
• A 60th anniversary special aired in 2015.
• The 2015 Muppets series is very different than IOTL.
• The Good, the Bad and the Muppets (a parody of westerns directed by Frank Oz) was released in 2019.
• "The Rainbow Connection" isn't played nearly as often in events.
• Video games released under Johnson include The Muppets: Quest for the Lost Treasure (2017) and The Muppets: Mystery at the Mansion (2020).
• Seasons 4 and 5 of The Muppet Show were released on DVD in 2010; Gonzo is on the Season 4 cover, while Animal is in the Season 5 cover. All seasons are also on Netflix with all cut segments in previous home media releases restored, the presence of all UK spots, and the old ITC/ATV logos intact at the end (including all alternate closings); they're also remastered and presented in the original 60 FPS framerate. A "Complete Series" box set was released in 2018 using the Netflix versions; the original pilot versions of the Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens episodes are included as bonus features in a separate disc.
• Muppet Babies received a remastered "Complete Series" box set in 2011. It's also on Netflix.
• Kermit is still a regular on Sesame Street.
• More photo puppet replicas were produced other than Kermit, Gonzo (whose eye focus, flower and nose texture are more accurate to the actual puppet), and Animal.
• Character names in foreign dubs weren't changed to the original English names (e.g. La Rana René in Latin America or Caco o Sapo in Brazil, both referring to Kermit).
• The 2018 Muppet Babies reboot uses the 1984 version's voice cast, with Frank Welker as Kermit, Skeeter (who is a major character in the reboot), and Beaker, Laurie O'Brien as Piggy, Greg Berg as Fozzie and Scooter, Russi Taylor as Gonzo (after Taylor died in 2019, the role was taken by Grey DeLisle), Katie Leigh as Rowlf, and Dave Coulier as Animal, Bunsen, and Bean; Jenny Slate still voiced Miss Nanny, as Barbara Billingsley had died in 2010, Summer is still a major character, still voiced by Jessica DiCicco, and Statler and Waldorf were voiced by their regular performers, Richard Hunt and Bill Barretta. It was still animated in CGI to differentiate it from the 1984 series.
• The Muppets Mayhem was renewed for additional seasons.

Gonzo's current puppet

My Little Pony franchise

Generation 3 of My Little Pony

• Various background ponies in animated works (Daisyjo, Bowtie, Bumblesweet/Honeybuzz, etc.) resemble themselves in merchandising more.

Generation 4 of My Little Pony

• Friendship is Magic has a few changes: for one, the series is traditionally animated in a similar style to OTL's 2017 film and Rainbow Roadtrip instead of using Flash animation, and character designs are much more varied in terms of shapes and proportions rather than using body templates with differences in manes, tails, colors, and cutie marks (here are what some elements such as proportions look like). Also, the series wasn't subject to as much executive meddling, certain episodes such as "Ponyville Confidential" and "Fame And Misfortune" don't exist, Starlight Glimmer is much more different from Sunset Shimmer, and a tenth season aired from 2019 to 2020.
• Princess Celestia toys released in the show's early years aren't pink.
• Due to Johnson’s passion for railway realism, the Friendship Express has some differences from its OTL counterpart, most notably in the locomotive having a tender (with there being no way to get to the locomotive from any other point in the train; several episodes have some differences because of this) as well as a whistle directly above the heart-shaped window on the front of the cab.
• The Rainbow Dash/Derpy scene in the second season episode "The Last Roundup" was not censored after its initial airing, due to Tim feeling that the complaints were only a small fraction of the viewing audience, and his disdain for what he considered "needless censorship". This also means that the name "Derpy Hooves" was used in future episodes, Equestria Girls, The Ponies of Equestria, and in merchandise.
• Twilight becoming an alicorn princess is handled with organic character progression, meaning she does not become an alicorn until the fifth season finale.
• Alicorns are defined by embodying traits of all three races (Earth ponies, Pegasi, and unicorns) and using them to unify rather than simply power.
• Throughout the ninth season, Grogar, not King Sombra, is partnered with Queen Chrysaliis and Cozy Glow. Discord does not disguise himself as any character, and the "FIENDship is Magic" and "Siege of the Crystal Empire" comics are considered canon.
• As Friendship is Magic was renewed for a tenth season, the future scenes in "The Last Problem" are the basis of the two-part series finale "The Future Awaits" (with "The Last Problem" being the title of the preceding two-part episode), while the present-day scenes were instead called "Twilight's Coronation" and aired at the end of Season 9. Twilight's future appearance has a different, less Celestia-like design, while Spike also has a different design; here's an idea of Twlight's design, as well as Spike's, albeit in OTL's artstyle. The other main characters also don't have eye bags, as Tim felt that it would only be suited for ponies with "really stressful" jobs. Flurry Heart also appears, ruling the Crystal Empire (she's still voiced by Tabitha St. Germain), and Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are part of a Mane Six-like group with Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Dinky Doo; here is an idea of what Flurry Heart looks like in OTL's artstyle, along with her cutie mark.
• A spin-off centered on fan-favorite background ponies, The Ponies of Equestria, ran on Netflix from 2015 to 2021.
• The Woodrow typeface was still used in the credits, rather than being replaced by Arial Black after the earliest episodes.

Equestria Girls

There are several changes from OTL due to Tim's involvement. These include:

• Spike is a human instead of a dog; this is not the Spike from Equestria, as it would create a plot hole where he could go without a problem but the rest of the Mane Six can't go; this Spike is also revealed to be the human Twilight's adopted little brother in the stinger to Rainbow Rocks. Tim felt that having Spike be a dog would reduce his practicality as a character; as an aside, Twilight's human counterpart does have a dog, though his name is Rex, with golden and beige colors, and he's voiced by Gilbert Gottfried after he gains the ability to speak; this is the human world's counterpart to a dog doll Twilight had as a foal.
• The mirror portal only requires Equestrian magic to be activated rather than the Elements of Harmony.
• Sunset and Flash both have more personality (Sunset’s "alpha bitch" personality is actually a facade, and she’s secretly broken and depressed due to feeling unappreciated by Celestia, stealing all six Elements in an attempt to get back at her and Twilight, and Flash is a self-admitted nerd who is also goofy and a nice guy rather than being a pretty-boy high school crush stereotype).
• Sunset's backstory is explained in full detail. She also steals all six Elements rather than Twilight's crown.
• Very few pop-culture references.
• Only three romance scenes between Twilight and Flash were left in, all rewritten.
• The artstyle is very different due to Friendship Is Magic also using a higher-budget artstyle. Here is an idea of what Sci-Twi (albeit with a ponytail instead of having her hair down, as well as lighter skin) and the other mane cast sans Sunset look like. Here are descriptions of the other characters' appearances:
  • Sunset: In Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks, same as OTL, but with shorter boots. From Friendship Games on, same as OTL's 2015-17 outfit but with her sneakers from Game Stream, with her cutie mark instead of stars
  • Sci-Twi: In the final two seasons, she has a completely different outfit to represent her leadership, wearing the leather jacket Sunset gave to her when she left the human world for good at the end of the sixth season, as well as an untucked baby blue blouse with her bowtie, pink leggings, baby blue socks, and dark blue sneakers.
  • Twilight: The outfit from this illustration
  • Starlight Glimmer: Similar to OTL, but without her beanie; her pony eyes are retained as well
  • Human Starlight Glimmer: Pre-redemption outfit resembles this image, post-redemption outfit resembles this image
  • Apple Bloom: Same as OTL, but with long jeans instead of shorts, as well as shorter boots
  • Sweetie Belle: Same as OTL
  • Scootaloo: Same as OTL, but with sneakers instead of boots
  • Derpy: Same as this image
  • Octavia Melody: Same as OTL
  • Vinyl Scratch: Same as this image
  • Potion Nova: Same as this image
  • Gilda: A gold-and-yellow hoodie with black jeans and white sneakers
  • Principal Celestia: A white blazer with her cutie mark as a lapel pin and matching white pants
  • Vice-Principal Luna: A pink blouse with her cutie mark as a pin and dark blue pants
  • Human Sunset Shimmer: A black leather jacket (different from our Sunset) over a dark gray blouse, a dark red skirt with a belt and her cutie mark, and spiked black boots
• Moons are explained as fifteen days, with one month translating to two moons, and the 30 moons mentioned translating to 450 days.
• There's also no Fall Formal or school dance, with Twilight having to take her crown back in a fight between herself and Sunset.

As an aside, Vinyl Scratch has a speaking role in Rainbow Rocks; she is voiced by Jesse Nowack, who voiced the character in several fanworks. This also means that Vinyl has a speaking role in "Slice of Life", as well as the Ponies of Equestria spin-off series. Also, Juniper Montage from Mirror Magic is a better-written character, and the early 2017 logo (with the "Equestria Girls" text still in the 2013-17 font) was still used until the series ended in 2021.

Legend of Everfree

Instead of being a film, Legend of Everfree is instead a two-part episode, serving as the first episode of the fourth season of the television series. There are also some differences such as Gloriosa Daisy being better written, as well as Timber Spruce having more characterization beyond being a generic love interest for Sci-Twi.

Rollercoaster of Friendship

The main characters don’t use their powers to destroy Vignette's phone (Rainbow Dash destroys it by throwing it far enough that it gets smashed by the traffic on the road), the final battle is much more climatic with higher stakes, and she’s not forgiven; instead, she is handed over to the Magical Criminal branch of the Canterlot Police Department. She also has a reason as to why she behaves the way she does: as a child, her father gave her older sister better treatment than her, and would often push her to the sidelines, resulting in Vignette being desperate for attention.

Television series

The show received a TV series airing on The Hub beginning in October 2013 (with the movie serving as its pilot), with each episode running for 22 minutes (for web series plots from the Better Together series IOTL that can be adapted into 22 minutes), and from 2017 to 2021, 2-to-5-minute shorts airing on YouTube (for web series plots that can't) under the Better Together subtitle. It also debuted the human counterparts of characters normally absent in EG, such as Discord (who is depicted as the uncle figure to Fluttershy; he calls himself "Funkle Discord", "funkle" being a portmanteau of "fun uncle") and Thorax (depicted as a former member of the Changelings, who are depicted as a crime family), as well as the Young Six, with G3 characters absent in OTL appearing both in here and in Friendship is Magic such as Starsong (voiced by Andrea Libman) and Kimono (voiced by Kathleen Barr, who reprises her role from G3), along with Minty (voiced by Maggie Blue O'Hara). Starlight's human counterpart also appears as one of the main characters (she has a slightly taller build to show her old, matronly ways).

The intro used in the first four seasons (2013-2017) was the same as the one used in the 2017 specials IOTL with the character lineup shown changing accordingly, while the one used in seasons 5-8 (2017-2021) is the same as the later specials, Better Together and Choose Your Own Ending, with the opening altered in the seventh season to use Sunset's human counterpart (introduced in the two-part sixth season finale "The Two Sunsets") in place of the pony Sunset. The final episode, "University Life", aired on May 11, 2021 and depicted the girls a few years later; three hour-long specials released throughout the summer of 2021 explore their lives in university.

The series ended with a Netflix film released in August 2021 subtitled The Final Fight, which takes place around the time of the future scenes in the Friendship is Magic finale "The Last Problem". In the film, Sci-Twi is the principal of Canterlot High and is married to Timber Spruce, Starlight is the vice-principal, the human Sunset is a teacher, Spike is the counselor, Rainbow Dash is the coach of the Wondercolts, Applejack inherited Sweet Apple Acres after Granny Smith's death, Rarity (who is married to Spike) is a fashion icon who owns several boutiques, Pinkie Pie (who married Cheese Sandwich and has a son named Lil' Cheese like her pony counterpart) acquired the Sugarcube Corner from the now-retired Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and Fluttershy runs an animal sanctuary. The film, which was animated by Toei Animation in tandem with Boulder Media, was the final major project in the fourth generation of the My Little Pony franchise.

My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)

The movie has several differences, with Chloe directing and executive producing, and Tim being one of the writers and an executive producer:

• Discord, Starlight, Trixie, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders all have speaking parts and contribute to the story (for example, Starlight goes on the adventure with the Mane 6 and Spike).
• The film is traditionally animated by Walt Disney Animation Studios instead of animated using ToonBoom Harmony. Many 2D Johnson movies since 2014 have used Disney cel animation due to it being deemed more authentic than computer animation.
• The plot is somewhat different, and less predictable.
• As with the TV series, Canterlot is portrayed as a city that has well-descriptive socioeconomics with a lot of upper-class cultures, rather than a stereotypically happy paradise.
• Songbird Serenade is voiced by Missy Higgins rather than Sia.
• The Mane Six are portrayed with the character development that they accrued throughout the series up to this point.
• The original opening is used, though Starlight is in the stained glass portrait.
• After the main title, the film opens in Ponyville, where the Mane Six, Spike, and Starlight are ready for the Friendship Festival while Discord is taking care of the Castle of Friendship.
• Fluttershy and Applejack have more screentime, and have their own songs ("Songbird Serenade" for Fluttershy and "Braeburn" for Applejack).
• The new characters have different personalities:
  • The Storm King is portrayed as dark and serious instead of goofy and over-the-top. He also has more screen time.
  • Grubber's personality is still the same, but he's very smart and his poorly-timed humor has been completely toned down.
• The storm clouds are hand-drawn, and Captain Celaeno's ship is a live-action model.

A sequel was released on October 4, 2019.

Pony Life

The series doesn't exist. The character Potion Nova (still voiced by Chanelle Peloso) appears in the tenth season of Friendship is Magic and the final two seasons of The Ponies of Equestria, as well as the final season of Equestria Girls. Here is an idea of what the pony version of Potion Nova looks like; her human counterpart wears a mint green sleeveless shirt with a necklace and her cutie mark on it, a black pleated skirt, and dark green sneakers.

Generation 5 of My Little Pony

• The 2D designs for the characters are much different; for one, they don't use the infamous "bean mouths" used in many 2010s cartoons. The main voice actors in Make Your Mark and Tell Your Tale are still the same, however, with Jenna Warren as Sunny Starscout, Ana Sani as Izzy Moonbow, AJ Bridel as Pipp Petals, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Zipp Storm, J.J. Gerber as Hitch Trailblazer, Josh Graham as Sprout Cloverleaf, and Rob Tinkler as Sparky Sparkeroni.
• Due to Entertainment One not having been bought by Johnson/Hasbro in this universe, various pieces of media related to MLP G5 are at least somewhat different.
• The series still takes place in the same timeline as G4, but the cause of the ponies becoming divided is different. Instead of Opaline Arcana, a number of factors caused Equestria to fracture, including Twilight being overthrown by pony supremacists who destroyed her School of Friendship, and then exterminated all Changelings, hippogriffs, seaponies, and Diamond Dogs, and drove the dragons to near-extinction before Spike was able to move the survivors into hiding. Around the same time, Prince Rutherford, leader of Yakyakistan, was overthrown by communist revolutionaries. These revolutionaries, rather than invade Equestria, decided to divide and conquer by spreading misinformation to split the three pony tribes back up. This, in turn, coincided with the Equestrian Civil War, fought between Twilight and her loyalists, and the ethnonationalists that sees Equestria splinter back into the three tribes, causing a long cold war that is ended in A New Generation. Make Your Mark focuses on the main cast and their struggles to create a new Equestria, including the challenges of nation-building, paying reparations to the dragons, searching for Twilight Sparkle, reaching out to Sunset Shimmer in the human world (as time flows differently between the pony and human worlds, with Sunset still being in high school), and preparing for an invasion from Yakyakistan. Tim Johnson wrote Generation 5's backstory, taking heavy inspiration from current geopolitics between the United States and Russia.
• A lot of the merchandise looks somewhat different (less uncanny, arguably).
• A New Generation is very different. For one, it uses a hand-drawn artstyle instead of a CGI one, and the regular G5 voice actors are used for the main cast rather than celebrities. Here is an idea of what the Mane Five and Sprout look like.
• No farting jokes in any episode, especially the Haunted House episode.
• More depth is given to the characters' backstories (e.g. Izzy being an outcast in Bridlewood), and greater focus is put on the story.

Mystery Science Theater 3000

A 2009 Complete Series box set.

The SOL bridge as it appears in the revival.

Hodgson, Nelson, Harmston, Marsh, Tom Servo, Crow, and Gypsy on the Satellite of Love set in August 2019, during production on Season 23.

The series has a variety of differences:

• Due to being released by Johnson instead of Universal, the movie was not edited down, and the unused Dave Alvin cover of the theme song was used in the beginning. It also received an extensive marketing campaign, making it an overall success in the box office. Johnson also aired MST3K marathons in many countries (usually with their own versions of Comedy Central) to ensure it would be a success.
• The series also remained on Comedy Central throughout its run, and the original run continued until 2008; Michael J. Nelson (Mike Nelson) continued as the human host, and Kevin Murphy (Tom Servo) and Bill Corbett (Crow) also remained in their roles until 2004, when they left the series after disputes with producer Jim Mallon, going on to create The Film Crew and later RiffTrax. They were replaced by Tim Harmston (Tim Randall, after screen actor Tony Randall), who wears a yellow jumpsuit, James Moore (Servo), and Paul Chaplin (Crow); Mary Jo Pehl (Pearl Forrester) remained, but Professor Bobo (Murphy) and Brain Guy (Corbett) were removed, with Brain Guy replaced by another Brain Guy (Chaplin). Pehl left in 2007 to focus on other projects, and was replaced by Moore, playing Pearl's brother Monty Forrester. Patrick Brantseg remained as Gypsy.
• The eighth season didn't have the mandated storyline, and the theme song from the eighth to fifteenth seasons was the same as the tenth season IOTL, with the exception of "Somewhere in time and space" being "Way up in outer space" instead. The theme song for the sixteenth and seventeenth seasons was:
  In the not too distant future
  At Castle Forrester
  Pearl was busy scheming
  And finding a new tester
  She called in a guy named Tim Randall
  To tidy up the castle, ready to go
  Pearl knew that she wanted him above
  So she lured him in and shot him into the Satellite of Love (Get me down!)
  I'll send him cheesy movies
  The worst I can find! (La la la!)
  He'll have to sit and watch them all
  And I'll monitor his mind! (La la la!)
  Now keep in mind, Tim can't control
  Where the movies begin or end (La la la!)
  He'll try to keep his sanity
  With the help of his robot friends
  Robot roll call
  Cambot! (Action!)
  Gypsy! (Oh my stars!)
  Tom Servo! (Check me out!)
  Crooooow! (That's one O!)
  If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
  And other science facts (La la la!)
  Then repeat to yourself, "it's just a show
  I should really just relax"

  The theme song from the eighteenth and nineteenth seasons was:
  In the not too distant future
  Way up in outer space
  Tim Benedict and his robot friends
  Are caught in a nasty place
  Monty Forrester is watching them
  While planning out his dirty machination
  He will torture the SOL captives
  As part of his evil plot for world domination! (I will rule the world! Ha ha ha!)
  I'll send him cheesy movies
  The worst I can find! (La la la!)
  He'll have to sit and watch them all
  And I'll monitor his mind! (La la la!)
  Now keep in mind, Tim can't control
  Where the movies begin or end (La la la!)
  He'll try to keep his sanity
  With the help of his robot friends
  Robot roll call
  Cambot! (Action!)
  Gypsy! (Oh my stars!)
  Tom Servo! (Check me out!)
  Crooooow! (That's one O!)
  If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
  And other science facts (La la la!)
  Then repeat to yourself, "it's just a show
  I should really just relax"

• The series ended in 2008, after declining ratings; mainly, there were complaints about Moore and Chaplin's casting, as well as the writing dropping in quality without Nelson, Murphy, Corbett and Pehl. Reruns continued airing on Comedy Central, however.
• The #BringBackMST3K Kickstarter still happened ITTL, but was even more successful due to Tim's public endorsement of it; it airs on Comedy Central instead of Netflix, with many differences at Tim's request:
  • The cast is very different, comprised of complete unknowns:
    • Emily Marsh as Emily Connor (in a purple jumpsuit)
    • Nate Begle as Crow
    • Conor McGiffin as Tom Servo
    • Yvonne Freese as Gypsy/Gypsum
    • Grant Baciocco as M. Waverly
    • Russ Walko as Growler
    • Kelsey Ann Brady as Sprocket, a third new robot built by Emily (there was talk of Brady voicing Crow at some point, but Tim Johnson vetoed this, saying "the thought of Crow sounding like a young boy keeps me up at night")
    • Rebecca Hanson as Kinga Forrester
    • Matt McGinnis as Dr. Matt Claude van Damme (a clone of Joel Robinson and ex-test subject who grew insane after watching too many bad movies and usurped the previous Mads before they could unleash said films onto the world)
    • Jonah Ray, Hampton Yount, Baron Vaughn, Felicia Day, and Patton Oswalt made guest appearances throughout the revival, as did Trace Beaulieu as Dr. Clayton Forrester and Joel's Crow (he also serves as an executive producer), Frank Conniff as TV's Frank, J. Elvis Weinstein as Dr. Laurence Erhardt and Joel's Tom Servo, Jim Mallon as Joel's Gypsy, Michael J. Nelson as Mike Nelson, Patrick Brantseg as Mike's Gypsy, Mary Jo Pehl as Pearl Forrester, Kevin Murphy as Professor Bobo and Mike's Tom Servo, and Bill Corbett as Brain Guy and Mike's Crow.
  • The riffing scenes are done the same way as the original rather than recorded separately; Tim encouraged Hodgson to go the original route, and reportedly said to him in a dinner "It's not wise to try to reinvent the wheel when the wheel we already have is perfect". The theater doors are from OTL's Netflix seasons as well.
  • The puppets don't have internal remote controlled mechanisms, and are operated as in the original series.
  • Gypsy has her old appearance. She was also renamed to Gypsum instead of GPC in 2021, as the name "GPC" sounded clunky, and she was sometimes referred to as "Gypsum" in the KTMA episodes.
  • Cambot uses his design from OTL's Gizmoplex seasons.
  • Each season begins in July and ends in January; the exception being Season 22 (2018-19), which began in November to coincide with the series' 30th anniversary. As a result, the revival began airing on July 22, 2016. Episodes are also produced one at a time and are released as they're completed.
  • 4:3 movies and shorts are done in the new series, with theater curtains on the sides (meaning Emily, Crow and Servo's seats are closer to the center).
  • The SOL set is more similar to the original.
  • Almost all movies in the new MST3K are old, obscure movies as in the original, steering away from well-known bad movies such as Mac and Me.
  • Each episode has a minimum runtime of 90 minutes.
  • Season 12 doesn't have a "binge" format.
  • Rather than having no less than 30 writers (Tim told Hodgson that "there's an old saying: too many cooks will spoil the broth"), the writing staff consists of the main cast members, along with Joel Hodgson and Elliot Kalan, with Beaulieu, Weinstein, Pehl, and Chaplin also returning as writers; some episodes have guest writers, however, with Tim and Chloe occasionally contributing to the series.
  • The theme song for the first three seasons of the Netflix revival (which Marsh and Hanson perform with interjections by Begle, McGiffin, Freese and McGinnis) goes like this:
    In the not-too-distant future
    Next Sunday, A.D.
    There was a gal named Emily
    Not too different than you or me
    She worked at Gizmonic Institute
    Just another Jane in a purple jumpsuit
    A distress call came in for her at half-past noon
    That's when an evil woman trapped her on the dark side of the moon
    I'll send her cheesy movies
    The worst I can find (La la la!)
    She'll have to sit and watch them all and I'll monitor her mind! (La la la!)
    Now keep in mind, Emily can't control
    Where the movies begin or end (La la la!)
    So she'll have to keep her sanity
    With the help of her robot friends!
    Robot roll call:
    Cambot! (Still working!)
    Gypsy!/Gypsum! (Oh, my stars!)
    Tom Servo! (I'm handsome!)
    Crooooow! (You know you want me, baby!)
    If you're wondering how she eats and breathes
    And other science facts (La la la!)
    Then repeat to yourself, "It's just a show
    I should really just relax"

  • Because of the cheaper way to produce new episodes, the remaining Kickstarter funds were used to make later seasons and live tours.
  • The fourth season had two episodes guest-hosted by Hodgson in-character as Joel Robinson, with Beaulieu as Joel's Crow and Forrester, Weinstein as Joel's Tom and Erhardt, Mallon as Joel's Gypsy, and Conniff as TV's Frank; Joel's Mads operate from Deep 13. Two additional episodes were also hosted by Nelson in-character as Mike Nelson, with Murphy as Mike's Tom and Bobo, Corbett as Mike's Crow and Observer, Brantseg as Mike's Gypsy, and Pehl as Pearl, with Mike's Mads operating from Castle Forrester. The fifth season will also have Hodgson and Nelson do two episodes each, as well as having Joel riff with Mike and Emily for a holiday special. It is explained that Clayton and Frank restarted the experiment because they missed doing it (and received a visit from agents of the United Nations for their world domination plot, and now operate under the guise of "mental health experiments"; the UN agents were not identified, but were heavily implied to be Team Jenny, judging by how both Clayton and Frank looked very uneasy while talking about the ordeal, not to mention Frank saying one of them threatened to things to him that defy human imagination, implying Louise was the one who threatened him), while Pearl was forced to because Kinga was making a mockery of the Forrester family name by trying to show Emily Freddy Got Fingered (a movie that made her physically ill), and needed to be shown how to run the experiment without resorting to movies that would make everything the Forresters have been planning meaningless if the movie of choice is just going to cause mass suicide.
  • The theme song for Joel's episodes (performed by Hodgson with interjections by Beaulieu, Weinstein, and Mallon) goes like this:
    In the not-too-distant future
    Next Sunday, A.D.
    Joel Robinson found himself back in space
    A place he didn't want to be
    He escaped the SOL and out of space
    And started up a hot fish place
    But Joel was in for a surprise above
    When his bosses put him back on the Satellite of Love
    We'll send him cheesy movies
    The worst we can find (La la la!)
    He'll have to sit and watch them all and we'll monitor his mind! (La la la!)
    Now keep in mind, Joel can't control
    Where the movies begin or end (La la la!)
    Because he used these special parts
    To make his robot friends!
    Robot roll call:
    Cambot! (Pan left!)
    Gypsy!/Gypsum! (Hi, girl!)
    Tom Servo! (What a cool guy!)
    Crooooow! (Oh, wisecracker!)
    If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
    And other science facts (La la la!)
    Then repeat to yourself, "It's just a show
    I should really just relax"

  • The theme song for the Mike episodes (performed by Nelson and Pehl with interjections by Corbett, Murphy, and Brantseg) goes like this:
    In the not-too-distant future
    Next Sunday, A.D.
    The evil Pearl Forrester
    Was hatching a evil scheme
    She tracked Mike and the 'bots, who had sneered
    While watching bad movies for twenty years
    They got conked on the noggin and were flown off the map
    That's when they woke up to realize that they fell for Pearl's trap! (Get me down!)
    I'll send him cheesy movies
    The worst I can find (La la la!)
    He'll have to sit and watch them all and I'll monitor his mind! (La la la!)
    Now keep in mind, Mike can't control
    Where the movies begin or end (La la la!)
    He'll try to keep his sanity
    With the help of his robot friends!
    Robot roll call:
    Cambot! (You're on!)
    Gypsy!/Gypsum! (Oh, my stars!)
    Tom Servo! (Check me out!)
    Crooooow! (I'm different!)

  • Due to COVID-19 regulations, the fourth season went into remote shooting temporarily, with riffs still being recorded together. The fifth season will go back to the standard procedure, with fewer staff members.
• There is also a spin-off called Live from Deep 13, which is a talk show hosted by Beaulieu in-character as Dr. Forrester and premiered on the same day as the revival (April 14, 2017).
• There was a "Complete Series" release in 2008 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the show, featuring every episode of the series (including films that couldn't be seen on home video releases due to rights issues, as well as all of the KTMA episodes, including Star Force: Fugitive Alien II, the third film used in the KTMA era). Sets of discs were sold individually, along with a shelf resembling the MST3K logo. It was re-released on UltraStorage Disc in 2013, with every episode stored on a single disc; the disc box itself is sold inside a MST3K logo-shaped tin with a book covering the show's history, as well as action figures of the human hosts, Crow, Tom, Gypsy/Gypsum, Cambot, and the Mads.
