The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and we're talking about a real-life finder of lost loves, who became the main character in this drama from 1984-5.  The series is loaded with guest stars, which is unsurprising since this was an Aaron Spelling production.

We're nearing The Big Game and we're talking about a made-for-TV movie about a serial killer who takes out people associated with the two teams playing for it all.  A star-studded cast struggles to make it to Super Sunday in the 1978 flick Superdome.

It's 1985 and ABC wants to capitalize on Cagney & Lacey and Hill Street Blues, which were big hits on other networks...but let's make them married!  MacGruder and Loud premiered after "The Big Game" in 1985, but barely made it to Spring 1985.

It's the start of November and election time is around the corner.  We felt it was appropriate to visit this relevant dramedy turned comedy with George C. Scott from FOX's early days.

NBC might have made a big comeback in the mid-1980s, but there was one huge weakness for them--Friday nights at 9 PM against shows like Benson and Dallas.  Half Nelson was another Friday at 9 victim, succumbing after a month and a half.  But it had a lot of big names!

In honor of the start of High School and College Football, Greg and Chico look at the Pilot episode of "Friday Night Lights" from 2006 as they look at and examine the cast of characters that surround the Dillon Panthers football team.

Also, we're here for that Mack Brown cameo in the middle of the episode with Coach Taylor.

This is it!  We have reached another milestone, this time looking back at the show covered in the second half of episode 3.  Unlike the first time, Chico is with us this time and thankfully can make the trip with us to Zippers?!?! Also, Greg has a major announcement which is truly a game changer. What is the major announcement? You have to listen to Episode 300 and find out!

In our second 'revisited' episode, we go back to the first half of episode 3 and take a second look at the short-lived NBC perennial bomb Manimal.  We get deeper into the show, the guests, and we have Chico present this time around.

In anticipation of the upcoming Amazon Prime series, this episode takes a look at the "blink and you'll miss it" television version of one of the breakout movie hits of 1992.  A League of Their Own had a handful of characters reprising their roles in one-off appearances and its TV fate may have been set in stone by a certain organization.

In our second of two entries related to the upcoming Thor movie release, this episode looks at a TV movie from 1988 where Thor appears in the same universe as The Incredible Hulk...but that's not the Thor we know or remember.  Listener discretion is advised, as this was treated like a live watch.
