2021/01/11

When we found out Nickelodeon was simulcasting the NFL Wild Card game between the Saints and the Bears, we knew this had future entry written all over it. And the broadcast was everything we hoped it would be. Join us in a live watch of the second half as we see how many Nickelodeon shows Nate Burleson can punch on your bingo card.

2021/01/07

Everybody knows about the current version of Jeopardy! and some remember the original version. We're not talking about those shows. We talk about the nighttime version from 1974-5 and, to a great extent, the 1978-9 NBC version. Also in this episode... * The 1977 CBS Jeopardy! pilot * Password Plus' frequently changing time slot * Arte Johnson meets Bobby Riggs

Episode 124--The Ropers

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2021/01/04

When the worst shows of all-time are mentioned, The Ropers makes that list with frequency. Is it justified? We state our cases that it was an average show and that there are many shows worse, and we have covered a lot of them.

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2021/01/02

On this off-topic episode here on Podbean, Greg and Chico do a recap on the second season of The Mandalorian which recently finished on Disney+. They discuss their favorite moments from Season 2 along with The Child's ..... let's just say taste in food. Afterwards the duo then turns to recent developments in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with WandaVision launching later this month.

Episode 123--The 2020 Year in Review

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/12/31

We ring out what has been an absolute disaster of a year with a look at what was on TV in 2020, changes due to COVID, shows that ended in 2020, and those we lost in 2020, among other things. Here's to a great 2021!

Episode 122--The Morton Downey Jr. Show

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/12/28

Over two years, The Morton Downey Jr. Show took the nation by storm. It was all over by Fall 1989, maybe because it was too controversial but also because the new late night show on the block at the time also took the nation by storm, The Arsenio Hall Show.

2020/12/25

For Christmas/New Year's we're releasing as our present to you the Director's Cut versions of two of our more popular episodes originally released on the Place to be Nation POP version for the first time on our regular feed. We start with Herb Abrams' Universal Wrestling Federation as we look at a time when old Herb tried to insert himself into an angle along with a special eBay Price is Right in the Director's Cut segments.

Episode 121–Tiger King

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/12/24

On this Christmas Eve we look back at what was the binge watching hit at the start of the COVID lockdown this year in Tiger King on Netflix. We look at the insane cast of characters including Joe Exotic, Jeff Lowe and yes that b***h Carole Baskin! Due to some strong subject matter in the show, listener discretion is advised.

2020/12/21

Earlier this year, we looked at 9 bad video games based on television shows. We found 9 more and felt it appropriate to cover them before the Christmas holiday. With any luck, we'll find 9 more and do a 3rd installment in 2021.

Episode 119--Davis Rules

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/12/17

Davis Rules is one of our favorite short-lived shows. It was funny and it had Jonathan Winters, yet it ran on two networks over 15 months. Also, we question if there is any situation in which Parker Lewis can lose.

Episode 118--Ernie Anderson

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/12/14

Ernie Anderson is among our favorite announcers. We decided to dedicate an episode to his life and career, going back to his radio days after World War II. He might be the only announcer to have an annual fest in honor of one of his TV characters.

Live Show 3--A Recipe for Seduction

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/12/13

When this lit up the socials last week, we made the decision that not only was it worth submitting but it was also worthy of live show status. Put a Lifetime Christmas movie, a KFC infomercial, and romance in a Vitamix and this would be the result. The complete "A Recipe for Seduction": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9mgD1DpmZ8

Episode 117--Personal Injury Court

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/12/10

One of the more recent shows on our list, Personal Injury Court was clearly not real, between nobody apparently having health insurance to the ridiculous amounts of money people for which people sued. Let's dive head first into the legal sauce with this installment.

Episode 116--It Ran One Season Too Long

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/12/07

In this installment, we look at shows we believe lasted one season too long. (Your mileage may vary.) Mostly, we cover comedies which lasted a year too long. Continuing a trend from last week, Greg continues his basketball coach namedropping streak.

Episode 115--Caesar's Challenge

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/12/03

The last NBC daytime game show was a good one, a true challenge. Caesar's Challenge had Ahmad Rashad, gladiators, and a rotating cage of letters. Also in this episode, the guys rattle off the name of everyone in Arizona in 1993 they can think of.

Episode 114--Carter Country

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/11/30

Who knew racism could be so funny...?! Carter Country somehow ran two seasons, despite a character who was an out-and-out racist. Only one of us three could make it through an entire episode, and for good reason. File this one under "doesn't age well."

Minisode 3–The Gobbledy Gooker

2020/11/28

The Undertaker wasn't the only person who celebrated the 30th anniversary of their debut in WWE this past week. At the 1990 WWF Survivor Series a heavily overhyped giant egg was set to hatch and out of it came ....... a man in a turkey suit. Listen as The Gobbledy Gooker and Mean Gene Okerlund try to excite a bored crowd in Hartford by dancing to Turkey in the Straw.

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/11/26

It's a tradition unlike any other here at It Was a Thing on TV. Last year, we looked at the 1983 Thanksgiving Day parade. This year, we jump to 1984, a time with Avril the Eccentric, creepy Cabbage Patch Kids, and a Fraggle with permanent sex face.

Episode 112--The Mouse on the Mayflower

The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network ·

2020/11/23

Rankin-Bass' first holiday cartoon was this highly fictitious take on the traditional and now-highly outdated take on the first Thanksgiving, involving a mouse who saves everything with a printing press?! All the talent in the world couldn't save this antiquated relic, given what we know now.
