It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 521 & 522 - My Mother the Car/Family Affair (2002)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV here’s what we offer in our next-to-last drop at Place to be Nation.
 
First, it took over 500 episodes, but we are finally talking about what many consider to be the worst television show of all-time.  A man's deceased mother gets reincarnated into a 1928 automobile, communicating with her son through the radio.  That's the premise.  Jerry Van Dyke passed up being Gilligan for this.  If all the above isn't unbelieveable enough, one of the world's biggest entertainers did a cover version of the theme song.
 
Then, we have seen this time and time again--a network reboots a series which ran for a considerable amount of time, only for it to flop badly.  This time, the victim is Family Affair, which The WB felt was worthy of rebooting over 30 years after the original show ended.  Against tough competition, this version quietly whimpered away after a half year.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 519 & 520 - The Trading Card Show, Volume 2/Flo

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, years ago, we did our first installment on TV-themed trading cards, focusing mainly on cards from the past.  With the resurgence in the popularity of trading cards, we decided to do a second volume, focusing on trading cards, specifically those over the last decade.  Some of the biggest franchises offer cards, so you can own a piece of those shows or an autograph of one of the stars.
 
Then, recently on our Facebook page we had our annual Viewers Choice poll, and this is the show that came out on top.  We have another spinoff show from a popular parent show.  Also, we have another spinoff show that got amazing ratings in its premiere season, which fell off in the second and final season.  In early 1980, audiences were flocking to see Flo.  By 1981, audiences were telling it to kiss their grits.
