In a recent It Was a Thing on TV taping session, we brought up Jonathan Frakes and the cult classic Late 90's/Early 2000's FOX show "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction". In this special live show, Greg presents an episode featuring three potential show Hall of Famers in the five stories in this Season 2 episode. At the end of the episode, Mike and Chico will determine if these five stories pass the smell test. Since this is a live show there were some problems with Mike's speaker system where the show audio was playing on his external speakers but that was quickly fixed. If you want to play along you can watch this episode on the Filmrise True Crime YouTube channel. Make sure to pause after each segment when Mike and Chico give their review of the segment before moving on.

On the 28th edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Steve Riddle, Mirandia Berthold, and Andy Atherton embrace the Circle of Life as they discuss the 1994 hit, The Lion King. The trio talk about the many great aspects of the film including: the breathtaking Pride Lands; the voice-casting of the characters; the epic soundtrack of the film; whether Scar is truly one of the most underrated villains in Disney history; the trauma kids endured thanks to Mufasa's death; Timon and Pumbaa: the greatest friends a lion could have; the importance of Nala; the lack of finishing the job by Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed; the memorable hero's journey that Simba takes, and if the combination of this film, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast is the greatest 3-film stretch in Disney history. So grab your grubs, kick back in the shade, and leave your worries behind as Steve, Mirandia, and Andy continue their trek through the Disney Renaissance. Hakuna Matata!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV, we go on the streets in search of justice no matter what the species!   First, it's another police procedural from the 80s, but this one's different; it has a female lead.  And a very big gun.  And she wasn't afraid to use it.  Lady Blue was one of the most violent shows on TV at that time.  Alas, it ran for 14 episodes amongst tough competition.   Then, early in COVID times, a lot of odd shows came down the pipe to entertain audiences stuck at home.  Gary Busey, Pet Judge was one of them.  Take fake court cases, presided by a fake judge, complete with fake plaintiffs and defendants, and throw in an obviously fake court reporter and...hilarity ensues?   Following our social media feeds got a lot easier!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV, we go on the streets with our motorcycle while looking at the prison system.   First, in 1985, NBC has a little show called Knight Rider and CBS has Airwolf, while ABC has neither.  Give an LAPD cop a high-powered motorcycle during his time off-the-clock and he's ABC's response--Street Hawk, another show that was more popular overseas than domestically.   Then, FOX was the newcomer on the block in 1987, specifically when it came to primetime programming.  They threw a lot of stuff against the wall, to see if much stuck.  Women in Prison was one such program that just didn't click.  But that theme song!

In the thirty-third episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, panelist Jon Keselica joins moderator/panelist Steve Riddle to discuss which 80's Music Videos deserve a place on their respective lists. Is “You Might Think” by The Cars a no-brainer? What about “Take On Me” by a-ha? Does “Nothing But A Good Time” by Poison grab a spot? Does “Money For Nothing” by Dire Straits or “Land of Confusion” by Genesis deserve a place? After that, they discuss which 90's Music Videos will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that “Sabotage” by Beastie Boys shouldn't get a spot? Will “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana be included? Is “Criminal” by Fiona Apple in the conversation? What about “Praise You” by Fatboy Slim & “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears?

This week, we recognize our hard working immigrants that make our country strong! We also took a visit to summer camp to catch up on some old friends.   First, it's the mid-80s, the Cold War rages on, and a comedian from Soviet Russia makes it big with appearances on Carson and on the stand-up circuit, and as a semi-regular on Night Court.  In 1986, he got his own vehicle, What a Country!  Listen to who was cast as the macho ex-Marine turned principal.   Then, you wanted us to watch this sort-of spiritual successor to High School U.S.A. (Episode 158) and we did!  Why did this movie about a summer camp originally air in the not-so summer month of February 1985?  We know why it reran in July 1985, besides it was summer.   Following our social media feeds got a lot easier!

This week, Greg cashes in his Money in the Bank and we meet a cute little dog while trying to get our pizzas in 30 minutes or less.   First, a very young Jon Cryer plays the titular character in this show, as someone who goes from working in a mail room to being a big-time agent as Greg plays his Money in the Bank for his birthday.   Next, NBC is on a slow rebound in 1980, after all the catastrophes we have talked about during 1979.  The powers that be decided imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, creating their own show similar to the Benji franchise from that era.  Here's Boomer was an anthology about a dog crossing the country, helping people in need.  While very family-friendly, the show didn't get enough eyes to see this show.   Finally, in the mid-80s, the pizza wars fueled up between primarily Pizza Hut and Domino's.  Pizza Hut had a successful campaign aimed at students, with the Book It! project.  Domino's promoted fast and hot delivery, and incorporated a Claymation spokesfiend named The Noid.   To keep track of us on our social media feeds visit our Linktree page at www.linktr.ee/itwasathingontv to give our feeds a follow.   Timestamps 1:06 - The Famous Teddy Z 1:37:45 - Computer Voice Lady Intro to Episode 273 1:38:17 - Here's Boomer 2:49:46 - Computer Voice Lady Intro to Episode 274 2:50:24 - The Noid

This week, we're having our own Schuckapalooza, covering three series starring underrated character actor John Schuck. First, we start with Schuck playing a robotic police officer in the 13-week wonder Holmes and Yoyo.   Next, Schuckapalooza forges on with this reboot of a 1960s classic with our hero this week playing Herman Munster, a role made famous by Fred Gwynne. In this sequel series, the Munster family wakes up from a 22-year sleep and has to mostly deal with Grandpa's crappy inventions.   Finally, Schuckapalooza ends with one of the most forgettable shows we have ever covered.  Despite very little video available, Turnabout is one of the most painful series we have recapped, from the awkward premise to story lines which are ridiculous and even somewhat sexist.  John Schuck and Sharon Gless deserved so much better.   To keep track of us on our social media feeds visit our Linktree page at www.linktr.ee/itwasathingontv to give our feeds a follow.   Timestamps 0:50 - Holmes and Yoyo 47:58 - Classic Commercial Break 50:41 - The Munsters Today 2:19:16 - Computer Voice Lady Intro to Episode 271 2:19:36 - Turnabout

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we look at sham marriages, outer space and Corinne Tate from Soap acting alongside Danny Thomas.   First, McCormick from Hardcastle and McCormick and Audrey Griswold #3 star in a sitcom about marrying someone to ensure they aren't deported from the country.  Of course, hilarity ensues.  The best moment of the show came at the very end of the final episode, when everybody knew the writing was on the wall.   Next, outer space science fiction was everywhere in the late 70s--in your movie theater, on public television, in primetime, even on Saturday mornings.  The crew at Filmation gave us their take on space adventures with Jason of Star Command, which featured a veteran from an outer space classic.   Finally, Soap was riding high in 1980.  Its producers gave who would likely be the 6th most popular cast member on that show her own vehicle, with a cast that includes a comedy icon and a future comedy icon.  I'm a Big Girl Now was one (season) and done.   To keep track of us on our social media feeds visit our Linktree page at www.linktr.ee/itwasathingontv to give our feeds a follow.   Timestamps 1:22 - I Married Dora 49:49 - Classic Commercial Break 54:09 - Jason of Star Command 2:00:27 - Computer Voice Lady Intro to Episode 268 2:00:49 - I'm a Big Girl Now

This week it's the grand finale of Marvel Month on It Was a Thing on TV as we look at Electro playing a single dad and Tony Stark doing a season on Saturday Night Live.   First, we start with one of the more recent shows this podcast has covered.  Jamie Foxx, David Alan Grier and others showed a lot of promise when this debuted, but the plug was quickly pulled at Netflix.  Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me! was just a bland comedy which relied on many tropes.   Then, Marvel Month concludes with possibly the second-worst season of SNL ever.  We talked about probably the worst season of SNL on episode 97, about the 1980-81 era.  Now, we look at the 1985-86 season, a transition season of sorts, when most of the cast lasted just this one season if not less, and the writers lasted just as long, ushering in one of the best eras in the show's lengthy history.   To keep track of us on our social media feeds visit our Linktree page at www.linktr.ee/itwasathingontv to give our feeds a follow.   Timestamps 0:39 - Intro to Episode 264 2:42 - Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me! 41:22 - Classic Commercial Break 45:16 - Intro to Episode 265 47:32 - Saturday Night Live (‘85-'86 Season)
