The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network

J.J. Starbuck fit a formula one prolific producer had used repeatedly and successfully.  It got good ratings, despite being moved multiple times, though the ratings weren't good enough for the most popular broadcast network at the time.  It also got beaten three separate times by a person who has problems with cheese.

Single female news journalist! Having lots of sex!

She had everything going for her… Looks, talent, intelligence, the right people surrounding her (even if one of them was “the best sex she ever had” who ended up taking her job). There was one problem… she was on a dead network. This week, we go to the newsroom to investigate the life and career of… “Pepper Dennis”.

Coming to theaters this week is the fifth and final outing of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. In 1982, ABC aired a show similar to *BUT* legally distinct from Raiders of the Lost Ark and it came from TV legend Donald Bellisario. It had action and excitement but could it capitalize on the adventure fever of Raiders? Weeeeeellllllllllllllllll, you'll have to listen to find out.

“It’s the end of an era… and the beginning of everything else.” What college will Elle pick, the one with her heartthrob or the one with her bestie? Can they pull off the best summer ever with Mario Kart and DDR? And will this girl ever learn to say no? Greg & Chico answer most of these questions as we round out The Era with The Kissing Booth 3.

We're celebrating another of our birthdays!  Greg's getting a year older, and he wants to cover a show we have talked about for years but there was little footage of it in English until recently.  We're finally covering 18 Wheels of Justice. Can a man in the witness protection program avenge the loss of his wife and daughter by taking down organized crime and G. Gordon Liddy with the help of his big-wheeled truck?

NOTE: Chico used a new microphone for this and the next episode so his audio may drop in and out at points. It should be corrected by next week.

A pre-Doctor Who/Guardians of the Galaxy Karen Gillan appeared in this British pilot, which apparently was the best thing at a certain network's disposal.  This was so wrong on so many levels, so much so that we're asking for listener discretion.  It did give us 4000-pound breasts.

In the early 1980s, one of the most popular pieces of electronics was the home computer.  (Spoiler:  It's still popular to this day!)  In the era of the movies Tron and WarGames came the show Whiz Kids, which may have hit a little too close to home for adults.

This Saturday marks 76 years since Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball.  We mark the occasion by watching an afterschool special from 1978 about the bond a young boy makes with an older man over their shared love of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson.

We've talked about this for over 3 years.  Now we're finally talking about the extremely short-lived summer series about a detective and three of his ex-wives solving cases.  I Had Three Wives ran for a month before it and CBS went their separate ways.

This epic cinematic masterpiece from Dick Van Dyke's grandson comes from the same people who brought you those straight-to-video mockbusters! Titanic II!

Originally released by The Asylum back in 2010, Titanic II is set in the far-off future of 2012! A wealthy billionaire builds his own version of the Titanic (with blackjack and hookers!) but little do they know that history is about to repeat itself!

Can Brooke Burns and Bruce Davison save Greg and Chico from boredom in this movie? Just remember never to let go!
