This week on It Was a Thing on TV we hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving but we're providing some leftovers from Thanksgiving's past as Greg, Mike and Chico look at the Thanksgiving Day Parades from 1985. First, we do our annual look at the Macy's Parade. As always, we have bands, floats, and celebrities, but there was a little something extra as a postscript to this parade. It'll make you yell "Oh neat!" Just remember, the Paramus Toys'R'Us store is closed on Sundays. Then, NBC wasn't the only network showing a parade on Thanksgiving 1985. CBS brought us parts of 5 different parades in its All-American Thanksgiving Parade, with TV stars in American locales including New York City, Detroit, Philadelphia, Hawaii, and...Toronto?! Each location had its own style, and some parades put more energy and creativity into their work than others.

Timestamps 0:30 - '85 Macy's Parade 2:03:43 - Classic Commercial Break 2:07:16 - All-American '85 Parade on CBS

On episode 7 of Popcorn Chicken Salad join Ben Locke and Matt Souza as they watch the 1986 cult classic Labyrinth. Topics discussed include Ben and Matt fawning over David Bowie, Dulux paint, is this really a kids movie?, more Bowie impressions and puns than you can shake a stick at, ranking movie owls, comparing Shawn Kidd to Brock Lesnar, a film not made for high def, not being able to hear Bowie sing, Matt having a films not streaming rant, the worlds longest ladder, realising Sarah is a bitch, Ben having the worst internet connection in the world, seeing more of David Bowie than you should, Bowie at a party, maybe the worse use of a green screen in history, the bog of eternal stench, conveniently placed props, Jeff Hardys inspiration, resting bitch face, tripping balls, mancrushing on Bowie some more, Hoggle could do so much better, goblin standard time, the Wizard of Oz but if Dorothy really sucked, the squid game kids, more long scenes to please Matt, going back to the Mortal Kombat set, Matt finally letting his Sarah frustration out and a goblin party. Come for the concept but stay for the Goblin King, let's dance for Popcorn Chicken Salad.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we're hitting the California retirement communities with Nipsey Russell as we chase ghosts with a Gorilla. First, Your Number's Up may be a blip on the map of television history, but it holds a place in our hearts. Nipsey Russell hosted it! All the geriatrics in Burbank loved it. Need we say more? Then, one of the more fascinating and entertaining Saturday morning shows in the mid-70s was The Ghost Busters, starring Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch, who worked together in the 60s on F Troop. Unrelated to the movie franchise of the same name, it got a second life in the 80s thanks to that movie, but that's another episode. It was cancelled for a reason we haven't covered thus far on this show, but you'll have to listen to find out. Follow us on social media over @itwasathingontvpodcast on Facebook and @itwasathingontv on Instagram and Twitter.
After a vacation, Adam Murray has returned and he and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back to catch up on what exactly happened in the National Basketball Association for Episode 219. Does coaching matter more or less now for winning and losing teams? Why are the older Lakers running out of gas late in games? Is it too early to say Steph Curry is running away with the MVP if Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler and Nikola Jokic are in beast mode? Riche and Adam also discuss the Bulls and Heat, the Cavs hitting their stride and the injury bug, and the most important news of them all: The Puking Kings Fan! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team! Editor Note: This was recorded just before Luke Walton got fired by the Kings.
We're heading into the home stretch on Into the Spidey Movieverse as we now hit the movie that this very show is named after. This time Greg and Chico discuss 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse while exploring the journey Miles Morales takes into becoming Spider-Man. And also you get John Mulaney voicing an animated pig, I mean how can you go wrong with that? One more to go see you in December when we discuss Far From Home.
On the new episode of Piece of the Action, Matt welcomes Shawn Kidd back to the podcast to watch Runaway! Listen as Matt and Shawn discuss Tom Selleck, Cynthia Rhodes, Gene Simmons, robots, KISS, numerous movies stealing ideas from Runaway, tongue bullets, Jack Ramsay being bad at his job, Shawn and Matt singing, and so much more on this new edition of Piece of the Action!
On the twentieth installment of the Pop Goes The Classics series looking at the Disney animated features, Steve Riddle, Mirandia Berthold & Andy Atherton look at 1981's The Fox And The Found. They discuss the many aspects of the film including: the innocence between Tod & Copper when their friendship begins as kids; Dinky & Boomer's quest to catch Squeaks; the great voice actors that were miscast in the film; Widow Tweed's toughness; the fun chase scenes & that terrifying bear that causes a lot of trouble near the end of the film.
This week on It Was a Thing on TV we present the winner of our Election Day 2021 poll along with one of our favorite moments from a popular cable show back in the day and Olmec! First, it's 1984 and NBC is riding high on The A-Team so, of course, they had to capitalize on that trend. Mix The A-Team with martial arts and you get The Master...sort of. It didn't work, getting the heave-ho off the schedule after 13 shows. But it did get immortalized somewhat thanks to Mystery Science Theater 3000. Next, one of our favorite shows from the mid-2000s was MXC: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. When the show debuted, it started with a bang...or is that an almost snap of someone's neck? One contestant called Rob Tussin tried making a glorious entrance but it almost ended in catastrophe. And he jumped right up and continued with the game! Finally, Greg (for 20 or so minutes), Chico, and Mike watch the debut episode of the Legends of the Hidden Temple reboot. Since it is a live show and we like keeping as much of the show intact as possible, you'll hear the same technical difficulties we experienced. Follow us on our socials @itwasathingontvpodcast on Facebook and @itwasathingontv on Instagram and Jack Dorsey's Hate Box.
Adam is currently on vacation (again....) so for this episode we treat the listener to a little game. Andrew has to guess the former NBA player based upon the clues Adam provides. Play along and enjoy the ride as we peek into Andrew's mind and his wealth of NBA knowledge. Names who casually come up include Emoni Bates, Monta Ellis, Al Jefferson, TJ McConnell, Eddy Curry, Shawn Kemp, and Rashard McCants, Can you guess who our secret players are ? Tune in!
In the twenty-sixth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, panelists Jonnie Sea, Ashley Cruse & Scott Criscuolo join moderator Steve Riddle to discuss which Bond Girls deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Honey Rider a no-brainer? What about Xenia Onatopp? Does Tracy Bond grab a spot? Does Vesper Lynd or Pussy Galore deserve a place? After that, they discuss which James Bond Films will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Goldfinger shouldn't get a spot? Will the On Her Majesty's Secret Service be included? Is Casino Royale in the conversation? What about Skyfall & For Your Eyes Only?
On Episode 20 of Battlestar in the 25th Century, Shawn and Scott live watch Buck Rogers episode 10, “Planet of the Amazon Women”. Topics include Buck's meat up for grabs and his lack of competition that leads to a real life analysis, Scott's very disturbing F, Marry, Kill, more Shawnisms to shake your head at, Galactic Cher, evaluating life choices, drunk horse riding & more!
On the latest episode of the Pop Goes The Movies Andy Atherton is joined by Scott Shifflett & Tim Capel to review Eternals. In a spoiler-filled review, they give their thoughts on what they expected going into this next entry in the MCU; the large, but diverse cast; the great visual aspects of the film; the mid and post-credits; make comparisons to similar movies; how it worked as an origin story and how it moves the overall story forward & where the events in the film lead to.
This week on It Was a Thing on TV we're revisiting some past Presidential elections on Television. First, Dan Rather is one of the most respected newsmen in media history. However on two election nights, Rather went off the rails with some of his commentaries and metaphors. We look back at some of the highlights from the Election Nights of 2000 and 2004. Then, advertisers will try to sell you most anything. At the same time, buyers will purchase most anything. At least one of those statements is true when it came to a chess set related to the hotly-contested 2020 Presidential election. Yes, there was a chess set dedicated to a Presidential election and it had its own half-hour infomercial! When we saw this infomercial, we knew we had to talk about it. Note: Considering we talk about some stuff that happened during the 2020 election and if you want to stop listening after the first episode the timestamp to stop is 47:18. Follow us on social media @itwasathingontvpodcast on Facebook and @itwasathingontv on Instagram and Twitter.
The NBA is back, but not everything has fired on all cylinders on the green light. Should some fans be worried about their own teams or superstar shooting slumps? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are podcasting this week to discuss why perceived playoff teams like the Lakers, Bucks, Hawks, and Mavericks are struggling in a variety of ways, and how soon is panic time? Riche and Adam also delve into the 2018 draft class extensions, the Robert Sarver/Neil Olshay controversies, LaMelo Ball, injuries, and… NBA players from Alaska?! We will explain. So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!
On a special episode of The Most Sensational, Inspirational, Celebrational, Muppetational Podcast, Mirandia Berthold & Andy Atherton do a live watch of the new Disney+ special, Muppets Haunted Mansion. Originally broadcasted live on Stream Lounge, they give their thoughts on how seamlessly the Muppets and the Haunted Mansion attraction go together to make a fun special that combines the best elements of each. They also comment on all of the fun easter eggs, cameos and where the Muppets can go from here.

Halloween may be over but we're giving you the leftover candy on this week's drop on It Was a Thing on TV. First, we start with what might be considered the ultimate short-lived cult classic. Kolchak: The Night Stalker has been remade several times, became a comic book series, and is a progenitor to similar later shows, but its original series only lasted a season. With a celeb-laden line-up, what happened? Next, our Halloween Trifecta of Terror continues with a one-off three-part anthology from 1977 titled Dead of Night. Overall, it is pretty insignificant, though some big names were involved with it. However, the first story does star one of our favorites, a young Ed Begley Jr. Finally, we wrap up our Halloween trifecta of shows with some humor, straight from the minds at Saturday Night Live. In 2016, David S. Pumpkins appeared on a Halloween sketch. He proved to be so popular that he got his own half-hour special the following year. ANY QUESTIONS?!?!
The 2021-22 NBA season is officially underway, but what are we to make of such a small sample size as the first two weeks of the season? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team are here to explain what they have seen, from wacky starting lineups to the Lakers stumbling out of that gate to…. the unstoppable Miles Bridges?! Riche and Adam also discuss James Harden adjusting to the new rules, teams struggling to score, the Miami Heat looking like a contender, and more! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!
It's a new edition of Into the Spidey Movieverse as Greg and Chico are hitting the homestretch on the way to No Way Home. This time the two look at 2018's "Venom" starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock. They look at how Sony could possibly make an origin story for Venom work without Spider-Man and shockingly succeed at doing it. Among the things discussed include Eddie and Anne's relationship, the disgust at how we were lied to as kids as to how fun space would be, how far it is to get from East Malaysia to San Francisco and the joy of taking a bath in a lobster tank. Next month we go animated as Greg and Chico go into the namesake of this podcast as they cover Into the Spiderverse.
On episode 19 of a very Starbuck centric Battlestar in the 25th Century, Shawn and Scott live watch Battlestar Galactica episode 11, “The Young Lords”. Topics include Space Vietnam, Space Lord of the Flies, Militant Space Thor & his hache sister, Lucifer's jealousy, an all time creepy Adama scene that has no relevance to the story, military song strategy, Baltar's odd seating positions and more!
First, it only lasted 19 weeks but 1975's Musical Chairs was a landmark television program, as it was the first game show with an African-American emcee, in Adam Wade. It also had a fun theme song, a great cast of guests, and the cushy time slot after Match Game 75. It was also recorded at The Ed Sullivan Theater! Next, one of the most brilliant things on TV in the last decade and one of the most bizarre, Too Many Cooks aired in the dead of night on Adult Swim. Within days, it was viral and repeated often. We offer a live commentary while watching the show and get into details about some of the production, and what happened to some of the actors and actresses. Finally, the 25th James Bond cinematic release hit theaters recently. But would you believe there was a James Bond, er, Jimmy Bond to grace the small screen before Sean Connery? In 1954, the CBS anthology series Climax! had an episode based on the Ian Fleming work Casino Royale.

On episode 6 of Popcorn Chicken Salad join Ben Locke, Logan Crosland and Matt Souza as they sit through what may be Ben's worst nightmare, the Adam Sandler 'classic' Little Nicky. Topics discussed include the radish of the salad family, the curtains haircut, the many voices (well 2) of Adam Sandler, comparing Little Nicky to Shakespeare, Hitler, SNL education, Ben turning up the volume to hear the Nicky voice, a very nice.................collar, duelling Zeus impressions, a slight disagreement about Lord Of The Rings, Deidre Barlow/Bollocks, the weird lad, Logan having to tell people off at work, salad etiquette, not understanding emotions when you are a hellspawn, Matt's perfect soundtrack, peppermint schnapps, Patrick Stewart, our favourite Nicktoons, the weirdest sentence Matt has ever said, The SCU, Jim Carey love, a very hache Reese Witherspoon, pillow fight techniques, ass in a flask, yet more Hitler, Logan missing his vocal cue and waiting for a blooper reel that never arrives. Come for the concept but stay and find out if Ben makes it to the end of the movie, its Popcorn Chicken Salad.
In the twenty-fifth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, panelists Rocco Martone & Tim Capel join moderator Steve Riddle to discuss which Horror Film Icons deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Jason Voorhees a no-brainer? What about Freddy Krueger? Does Frankenstein's Monster grab a spot? Does Michael Myers or Pinhead deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Horror Film Franchises will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Friday The 13th shouldn't get a spot? Will the Classic Universal Monsters be included? Is Romero's “Dead” Franchise in the conversation? What about A Nightmare On Elm Street & Child's Play?

The 75th anniversary NBA season is tipping off this week, and as the league officially announces its 75 greatest players, adding 25 to the first list, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are going to figure out who will make the cut as a sequel to our 2014 episode. Is James Harden a lock? How important is winning a championship in terms of earning selection? Who gets the “Shaq” spot this time and who gets the “Dominique” snub? Riche and Adam also discuss which active players are locks or safely in, which throwbacks might make it, and the big Dwight Howard debate. So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team! Make sure to also listen to our first take on this expanded list here (http://placetobenation.com/ptbns-nba-team-podcast-the-next-15/)
This week It Was a Thing on TV brings to you plenty of competition along with a short look at one of the biggest bombs in TV history. First, recently, word came out that American Gladiators is being rebooted...again. By coincidence, we had this show slotted for this week in our schedule. We talk about 4 shows which tried riding the coattails of the Gladiators--Knights and Warriors, Blade Warriors, Battledome, and Wild West Showdown. Next, we go to the ballpark, as some of 1967's brightest Major League Baseball players went against celebrities back in the day on the softball diamond, with some very special celebrities handling the duties behind the mic and two legends acting as managers. Finally, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was TV's most popular show in 1969. The people behind it tried capitalizing on its popularity with a related show called Turn-On. There were instant regrets, as ABC turned it off before the first episode aired in full.

We've got a triad of topics coming at you on today's edition of It Was a Thing on TV here at Place to Be Nation. First, one of our favorite shows back in the day was the Saturday morning cartoon preview show that generally aired the night before the premiere of the new fall Saturday morning lineups. In 1985, CBS went all out, producing an hour-long show with Rowdy Roddy Piper and celebrities ranging from Pee Wee Herman to Herve Villechaize to Captain Lou Albano to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Who knew CBS' Saturday morning cartoons ran until 2 PM! Next, we take a look back at the very first appearance of our favorite trio on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. The Aqua Teens looked a lot different when they paid a visit to Space Ghost, Zorak and Moltar. We explain the differences between this and the regular series as the course of classic rock is changed forever in this episode, thanks a lot Space Ghost! Finally, 20 years ago this week, a game show scandal broke in the UK, as Major Charles Ingram, his wife, and another contestant collaborated and coughed their way to £1,000,000. The trio later went to trial over the matter. Listen to this episode and judge for yourself whether the money was hard earned or hardly earned.
