The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network

Greg uses his Money in the Bank pick on this sequel to The Shaggy Dog, which aired on ABC in 1987 as part of The Disney Sunday Movie. In this sequel to the Disney classic we learn some things like can dogs wear pajamas?

The newest edition of the remastered series goes back to Episode 10 and a topic Greg wanted to cover at the start of the podcast. The 1999 TBS spoof The Chimp Channel about a network made up of monkeys. Somebody get Chimp Larry Zbyszko a banana.

Everybody knows about the timeless Wheel of Fortune, but there was a show with that same title in the early 50s which had to do with rewarding good samaritans.

The mid-90s were a big period for game shows on cable, between Game Show Network's start, a possible Game Show Channel, and a foundation for that Game Show Channel--interactive game shows from Wink Martindale et al.  We look at the quartet of games which could be played at home on a telephone keypad.  Mike also shares his story about how he almost won some big prizes from one of those games.

Our next edition of the remastered series goes back to Episode 9 and The 1983 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Relive Mike, Chico and Greg talk about the Superman balloon that won't show his face, Charley Pride showing off his new album to the crowd, the meeting of the two America's Asses and Joey Lawrence (WHOA!).

It's the late 80s and action sports are big, like wrestling and American Gladiators.  Take roller derby and combine it with certain aspects of wrestling, then add a dash of rock and roll flair.  The result is 13 glorious episodes of the late 80s favorite RollerGames.  Go for the wall but avoid the alligator pit.

Our next edition of the remastered edition goes back to Episode 8 when Mike, Chico and Greg took a look at this weird entry in the exploding courtroom genre in the late 1990's. Somehow, Animal Planet didn't bother to bring back Doug Llewelyn for Judge Wapner's Animal Court even though they had the money for Rusty the Bailiff.

We're going way back with this one, but it's a goodie.  At Last the 1948 Show only ran for two series, but it was a primitive version of one of television's classic comedy sketch shows, one Monty Python's Flying Circus.

7 years after the Doctor Who last aired, Whovians got some closure in the form of the Seventh Doctor regenerating into the Eighth Doctor, whose lifespan was, more or less, this movie.  The ratings weren't that great, a revival was passed upon, and the franchise would be dormant for another 9 years.

Today you get a special treat in the latest edition of our remastered series. You're getting two episodes for the price of one! (and because Episode 6 is less than 20 minutes which is what we'd consider a Minisode today)

First, Mike and Greg look at Meow Manor a weird show with cats that came from Iceland which aired on UPtv around 2017. It's Big Brother with cats basically.

Then, they took a look at what they considered at the time to be one of the most offensive topics covered (oh if only they knew what else was to come) on the podcast in Lidsville. A trippy show from the minds of Sid and Marty Krofft which stars Charles Nelson Reilly!
