Episode 615--Show Me the Money

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2026/03/17

In the next week, the legendary William Shatner turns 95 years old. Our tribute to him is this entry from almost 20 years ago, which has Deal or No Deal tendencies but asks questions slightly more difficult than that show's title query. It remains a classic among us, though the general population didn't agree. We also get closure to what happened to the contestant on the final aired episode whose game was interrupted, never to be seen.

Here is yet another case of a spinoff of a hit show being an utter disaster. Joey Tribbiani moved to L.A., away from his friends. Nobody told him spinning off from the flagship show was gonna be this way. After two lackluster seasons, this series ended up as one of the biggest spinoff flops in history.

Mike's birthday happened earlier in the week. As is tradition around these parts, during birthday time, each host picks an episode they want to cover as their Money in the Bank. Mike chose this cartoon which was critical of the times in the 70s during season 1, but reverted to an animated sitcom with no controversial bite in subsequent seasons.

They’re beautiful. They’re talented. They’re poised. They’re competing on a grand stage for $10,000 and the title of Miss… Dog. FOX arrives with another idea where one didn’t exist, only for it to be neutered after one go.

2026/02/24

Usually, we don't cover shows that ran for more than two seasons. An exception was made not because this was bad but rather the plethora of changes which arose, primarily with talent wanting raises. Despite that, What's Happening Now!! actually had a longer run than the original series.

2026/02/20

We're a little late to the 100th birthday celebration of Leslie Nielsen. Surely, you'll forgive us. (And don't call us Shirley.)After the success of Airplane!, its producers brought a show with similar humor to the small screen with Police Squad! The show was not a success for several reasons, but it was loved so much that it spun off into four movies over the last 40 years.

Our tribute for Joe Garagiola's birthday takes us back almost 4 decades, to a show that has been forgotten, for good reason. Kline and Friends' second endeavor was not good, though we know one way a current generation could have gotten into it: #nobanditnobandit. (We have had a little too much fun with that lately.)

When we placed this on the schedule, it was to coincide with a 24/7 stream of the show. A few days before we recorded, the stream ended. To make matters worse, due to technical difficulties, the original Revisited show had to be scrapped. Finally, it became a reality. Relive the fun of Duke Moosekian, The Handsome Boy Modeling Agency, SPEWEY, and much more as we finally revisit Get a Life properly.

Ever wanted to know the secret talents of NFL players? No? Well, NBC Sports thought otherwise and gave us this competition during the pregame of Super Bowl XXIII, which features four guys and Reggie White showing off their hidden talents to win money for charity with an all-star panel of judges, along with Ahmad Rashad and the star of the box-office hit of 1989, "Who's Harry Crumb?"

This Sunday, the 60th installment of "The Big Game" is occurring. We have pulled up some gridiron gems to commemmorate this event. First, in 1970, football became more popular due to the AFL/NFL merger that year, the start of Monday Night Football, and the booming popularity of "The Big Game." Earlier that year saw Where's Huddles? (See episode 451.) Later, Bob Stewart of Password and Pyramid fame came up with this prediction game where a celebrity and a pro player play "You Make the

As you all know, we were supposed to bring you the Revisited episode of Get a Life today, but as Mike mentioned earlier this week, technical issues in the recording forced us to scrap it and redo it two weeks from now. However, since we have no episode this week, we are releasing our original episode of "Get a Life" from 2022 as a "Best of" for you this week. So enjoy Greg saying "Duke Moosekian".

We recorded episode 606 over the weekend. There was one problem--Mike's computer was acting up, disconnecting from the web after a few minutes. Since we utilize the web quite a bit in our preparation and recordings, this was a huge issue. Mike went to his Surface as a back-up. The results were horrible, with the audio skipping every few seconds. Hence, we decided it was best to shelve this episode for now, though we will re-record it as episode 608. For the record, Mike thinks he has solved
