The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network

(Yes, this show went by all of those titles.)

Columbo was an NBC staple in their Mystery Movie rotation throughout most of the 70s.  When the network went on a huge decline at the end of the decade, NBC tried anything to get viewers including a non-canonical spinoff.  At least we got to see a young Captain Janeway.

In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise, Greg and Chico go back to 1993 and take a look at where it all began with the premiere episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in this special live show.

A bookish girl & a jock are selected to attend high school in space. An up-and-coming movie scribe & a legendary anime studio are chosen to bring them to life. What started as a Saturday morning failure turned into a cult classic. Strap in and hold on as we round out this year’s Back to School special with a trip to Galaxy High School.

Legendary NFL quarterback Joe Namath's last stop in his illustrious career brought him to Los Angeles, with the Rams in 1977.  The next year, one of his first post-retirement gigs was on The Waverly Wonders, which was very reminiscent of a popular show on another network at the time.  Just over a month later, the show got cancelled.  Its replacement, however, would last over 7 years.

Early on in this podcast's life, we originally covered Jennifer Slept Here, but it was one of the few episodes Greg missed.  He had things to say about this show.  Thus, we are revisiting another episode from early on.

In this special Instant Reaction, Greg opens packs of old sports cards as Mike and Chico react to some of his cards. Can Greg pull a possible PSA 10 Emmitt Smith Rookie from Score 1990 Football?

Thirty years ago, Haim Saban brought the Super Sentai to the US, and Power Rangers was born... but before THAT, a similar series was brought to the US purely for laughs and/or played-up stereotypes. We look back on the show that was Dynaman, who brought it to life, and what exactly a main squeeze is.

It's that time of the year when kids are going back to school.  In this installment, we look at a Canadian reality show where the roles are reversed--the teenagers are the teachers and the adults are the students.  It's time to do some learning on Skooled.

And for the first time in podcast history, we talk to someone who took part in the show, about his Skooled experiences among other things.

What was supposed to be a grand debut in WCW for the former Tugboat/Typhoon of the WWF turned into one of the biggest botches on live TV. All we have to say is this episode will shock the world because we talk about none other than THE SHOCKMASTER! (BOOM!) (Uncle Fred then trips through the wall as his helmet comes off) I TOLD YOU! OH GOD!

In honor of Susan St. James' upcoming 77th birthday, Greg and Chico look at this 2004 straight-to-DVD movie about a down on his luck clutz who teams up with a sea captain to find a sunken treasure. Also, Lou Rawls and Richard Moll are trying to stop them for some reason. We're also pretty sure that The Dove Foundation which "approved" this movie didn't actually watch this.
