Original continuity

rdfs:comment

The Tom Swift Sr. and Jr. Continuity is the first Tom Swift continuity. Starting with the events of the first book in the Tom Swift Sr. Adventures (Tom Swift and His Motorcycle (1910)) and continuing through the final volume of The New Tom Swift Jr. Adventures (Tom Swift and the Galaxy Ghosts (1971)), the stories in this continuity chronicle the adventures of Tom Swift, and later his son, Tom Swift Jr. While the majority of the Tom Swift Sr. stories are more about going on adventures and "tweaking" devices that already exist (such as motor boat engines), and paving the way for Swift Enterprises to exist than inventing new devices, the Tom Swift Jr. Adventures are full of stories where the adventure would not be possible unless Tom Swift Jr. had not invented the usually titular invention. P The Original continuity is the first Hardy Boys and, until 1987, the only (not including the ) continuity. It begins with Frank and Joe Hardy, following in their detective father's footsteps by solving their first case, in The Hardy Boys #1 The Tower Treasure and ends with the Hardy brothers, now well known amateur detectives, themselves, in The Hardy Boys #190 Motocross Madness.

The Tom Swift Sr. and Jr. Continuity is the first Tom Swift continuity. Starting with the events of the first book in the Tom Swift Sr. Adventures (Tom Swift and His Motorcycle (1910)) and continuing through the final volume of The New Tom Swift Jr. Adventures (Tom Swift and the Galaxy Ghosts (1971)), the stories in this continuity chronicle the adventures of Tom Swift, and later his son, Tom Swift Jr. While the majority of the Tom Swift Sr. stories are more about going on adventures and "tweaking" devices that already exist (such as motor boat engines), and paving the way for Swift Enterprises to exist than inventing new devices, the Tom Swift Jr. Adventures are full of stories where the adventure would not be possible unless Tom Swift Jr. had not invented the usually titular invention. Plus, while most of the "tweaks" and inventions that were introduced in the Tom Swift Sr. series have come to be available in the real world, the majority of the Tom Swift Jr. inventions are based on theories for "new" technologies that were being speculated on in the 1950's and 1960's, but have not been invented or have proved to be, realistically, implausible. In Tom Swift IV, a couple of books contained references, that were not usually correct, to events that had occurred in the Tom Swift Sr. series. The most notable book being Monster Machine that tried to have the Tom Swift Jr. of that continuity come across a tunnel in South America that his grandfather had worked on (Tom Swift and His Big Tunnel), even though the location of the tunnel in Monster Machine does not correspond to the location of the tunnel in Tom Swift and His Big Tunnel. Tom Swift Young Inventor took a mixture of inventions and characters from the Tom Swift Sr. and Jr. continuity and tried to have many of those inventions be invented by the Tom Swift Sr. of this new contiuity, even though in the Original Continuity the inventions mentioned had been made by both father and son. The Original continuity is the first Hardy Boys and, until 1987, the only (not including the ) continuity. It begins with Frank and Joe Hardy, following in their detective father's footsteps by solving their first case, in The Hardy Boys #1 The Tower Treasure and ends with the Hardy brothers, now well known amateur detectives, themselves, in The Hardy Boys #190 Motocross Madness. The Orginal continuity, is by far, the longest running Hardy Boys continuity. In 2005 when the last book was published, it was 78 years old. Included in this continuity is The Hardy Boys series (Original/Digest), and it's various spin-offs, such as The Hardy Boys Detective Handbook, The Hardy Boys Handbook: Seven Stories of Survival, the two Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Super Sleuths! volumes, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Campfire Stories, and The Hardy Boys Ghost Stories. Some would also say that The Hardy Boys are: The Clues Brothers, and the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Be a Detective Mystery Story series, are also part of the continuity.
