Episode 361--Small Fortune (US)

2023/03/23

Lost in Translation Week 2023 continues with a small show whose promotion was equally small and, not surprisingly, whose audiences and ratings were just as small. Small Fortune didn't last long in the UK, yet it was still imported to the States where its run was equally short.

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2023/03/20

The concept of home videos shows originated in Japan in the late 1980s and branched out all around the world. In 1992 in Australia, a show aired which used footage deemed too racy or of questionable taste, titled Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos. It didn't make it through one airing. Fast forward to 2019, where a similar version was tried in America, titled Videos After Dark. At least that ran for the full airing. Due to language and questionable content, listener discretion is advised.

Did you ever notice some people have some shows essentially omitted from their resumes? We had never heard about Charles Nelson Reilly on Uncle Croc's Block until Mike went down a rabbit hole one night.

Episode 356--That 80s Show

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2023/03/09

That 70s Show was getting good ratings, so it was inevitable a spin-off would happen. But that show was less of a spin-off and more of its own separate unrelated entity. That 80s Show was gone as quickly as it arrived. Bummer, dude!

It's time for Mike's annual Money in the Bank selection. This year, he went with a comedy set around a puppet, her life, and her TV show. Madame's Place was racy and had big guest stars. But when you're going up against late night fare like Carson, it won't end well.
