It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 386 & 387 - The Big Showdown/Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we roll the showdown dice before meeting Spidey and his Amazing Friends (but not those ones)
 
First, the mid-70s was a rotating door of game shows seemingly coming, then going after 13 to 26 weeks.  The Big ShowDown was no different, except it was a brilliant dice-themed game of strategy and its host had a memorable entrance on one episode.
 
Then, in the 70s & early 80s, ABC was riding high with the world's greatest "Superfriends" based on the DC Comics. Marvel, not willing to let this go unchallenged, teamed up the face of the brand with an X-Man & an original character. to form "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends". Before going "Across the Spider-Verse", take a deep dive into a show on NBC that lasted... shorter than you probably remember.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 383, 384 & 385 - Howie (1962 Paul Lynde pilot)/18 Wheels of Justice/Carlton Your Doorman (1980 CBS pilot)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we wrap up Pilot Month 2023 while celebrating Greg’s birthday with his Money in the Bank in between shows.
 
First, a decade before The Paul Lynde Show (see episode 103), a pilot for CBS was done which was reminiscent of the latter show.  Lynde plays the father-in-law to his new son-in-law, the "smartest man in the room though he's actually the dumbest" Howie.
 
Next, 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?
 
Finally, our 4th annual Pilot Month concludes with an animated spin-off of a live-action show which ended two years earlier?!  Welcome to a day in the life of Carlton Your Doorman.

Making Mt. Rushmore #43 - 70’s Comedy Movies & 70’s Action Movies

In the forty-third episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston & Jon Keselica to discuss which 70’s Comedy Movies deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Blazing Saddles a no-brainer? What about The Muppet Movie? Does Monty Python & The Holy Grail grab a spot? Does National Lampoon’s Animal House or The Jerk deserve a place? After that, they discuss which 70’s Action Movies will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Dirty Harry shouldn’t get a spot? Will The Warriors be included? Is Star Wars in the conversation? What about The French Connection & Shaft?
