The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network

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.

In the next chapter, Greg and Dane continue their look at 2010 TNA, which is a review of TNA Against All Odds 2010. We have an 8-Card Stud Tournament to determine the #1 contender for the TNA World Title; meanwhile, AJ Styles faces Samoa Joe for the TNA championship with Eric Bischoff as the Special Guest Ref.

Special Thanks to Tim Taylor at Place to be Nation for creating the new logo for the podcast.

It's a midweek edition of It Was a Thing on TV Presents. First, Greg and Mike go over Super Bowl LX and talk about the Winter Olympics among various sports topics. Then, Greg invites Dane in Segment 2 to talk about the Wrestling Observer awards and oh boy, they got a lot to say about it.

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.)

With the Winter Olympics happening right now in Italy, we present our first-ever "Best of" involving a Live Show as we re-release Greg and Chico's live watch from the Stream Lounge era involving the 1993 Disney movie "Cool Runnings" recorded during the last Winter Olympics in 2022.

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.

The Squared Circle Time Machine heads to the Manhattan Center as Monday Night RAW returns to the building where it all started as Jerry "The King" Lawler has issued a challenge to Paul E. and ECW to show up in this memorable episode of RAW.

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?" John Candy? What?

In honor of this event's 40th anniversary this week, we look at a special episode of World Championship Wrestling on Superstation WTBS at The Omni in Atlanta. We have a loaded show with four competitive matches, including the Rock 'n' Roll Express facing the Midnight Express for the NWA World Tag Team titles and Ric Flair putting the NWA World Title on the line against Ronnie Garvin.

Also, we get a cameo from Willie Nelson sitting with Dusty Rhodes and Tony Schiavone at a pool, and an appearance from Gaylord Perry for some reason?

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 Call."
