The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network

Because of last night's episode of Jeopardy!, we have a new type of show.  Mike felt the need to talk about last night's episode of Jeopardy! and what could be called an historic moment.

Lost in Translation Week 2023 continues with a small show whose promotion was equally small and, not surprisingly, whose audiences and ratings were just as small.  Small Fortune didn't last long in the UK, yet it was still imported to the States where its run was equally short.

The concept of home videos shows originated in Japan in the late 1980s and branched out all around the world.  In 1992 in Australia, a show aired which used footage deemed too racy or of questionable taste, titled Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos.  It didn't make it through one airing.  Fast forward to 2019, where a similar version was tried in America, titled Videos After Dark.  At least that ran for the full airing.

Due to language and questionable content, listener discretion is advised.

A few months ago, Greg & Chico covered the beginning of an era with "The Kissing Booth". The era continues as Elle & co. juggle senior year, long-distance relationships, college applications, and something that is similar to but legally distinct from Dance Dance Revolution. Pucker up as we talk about "The Kissing Booth 2."

In this installment, we watch a very special episode that we have referred to on and off throughout the podcast.  Find out why drugs are bad when Robbie gets hooked on thornoids on Dinosaurs. Remember you can't say steroids Friday nights on ABC in 1993.

Did you ever notice some people have some shows essentially omitted from their resumes?  We had never heard about Charles Nelson Reilly on Uncle Croc's Block until Mike went down a rabbit hole one night.  And after seeing this and its associated cartoons, you can't blame CNR from forgetting this misstep.

Three years after the end of Full House and nearing the end of the original TGIF lineup, ABC brought back The Olsen Twins as tweens in this one-season vehicle, whose legacy lasted well beyond its one year.

After over two years (if you don't count his appearance in "The Book of Boba Fett") Din Djarin and Baby Grogu are back for Season 3 of The Mandalorian on Disney+.

Greg and Chico livewatch the premiere as The Mandalorian looks for forgiveness for taking his helmet off as he encounters some old friends along the way back to Mandalore.

Grogu don't go hugging those Anzellans!

Last year, our first class of inductees was admitted to the show's Hall of Fame.  Now, we're adding 17 new entries into the Hall, ranging from podcast favorite actors to one-time appearances that left a mark on us.

That 70s Show was getting good ratings, so it was inevitable a spin-off would happen.  But that show was less of a spin-off and more of its own separate unrelated entity.  That 80s Show was gone as quickly as it arrived.  Bummer, dude!
