Friday Oct 29, 2021
On episode 19 of a very Starbuck centric Battlestar in the 25th Century, Shawn and Scott live watch Battlestar Galactica episode 11, “The Young Lords”. Topics include Space Vietnam, Space Lord of the Flies, Militant Space Thor & his hache sister, Lucifer’s jealousy, an all time creepy Adama scene that has no relevance to the story, military song strategy, Baltar’s odd seating positions and more!

First, it only lasted 19 weeks but 1975's Musical Chairs was a landmark television program, as it was the first game show with an African-American emcee, in Adam Wade. It also had a fun theme song, a great cast of guests, and the cushy time slot after Match Game 75. It was also recorded at The Ed Sullivan Theater!
Next, one of the most brilliant things on TV in the last decade and one of the most bizarre, Too Many Cooks aired in the dead of night on Adult Swim. Within days, it was viral and repeated often. We offer a live commentary while watching the show and get into details about some of the production, and what happened to some of the actors and actresses.
Finally, the 25th James Bond cinematic release hit theaters recently. But would you believe there was a James Bond, er, Jimmy Bond to grace the small screen before Sean Connery? In 1954, the CBS anthology series Climax! had an episode based on the Ian Fleming work Casino Royale.

On episode 6 of Popcorn Chicken Salad join Ben Locke, Logan Crosland and Matt Souza as they sit through what may be Ben's worst nightmare, the Adam Sandler 'classic' Little Nicky. Topics discussed include the radish of the salad family, the curtains haircut, the many voices (well 2) of Adam Sandler, comparing Little Nicky to Shakespeare, Hitler, SNL education, Ben turning up the volume to hear the Nicky voice, a very nice.................collar, duelling Zeus impressions, a slight disagreement about Lord Of The Rings, Deidre Barlow/Bollocks, the weird lad, Logan having to tell people off at work, salad etiquette, not understanding emotions when you are a hellspawn, Matt's perfect soundtrack, peppermint schnapps, Patrick Stewart, our favourite Nicktoons, the weirdest sentence Matt has ever said, The SCU, Jim Carey love, a very hache Reese Witherspoon, pillow fight techniques, ass in a flask, yet more Hitler, Logan missing his vocal cue and waiting for a blooper reel that never arrives.
Come for the concept but stay and find out if Ben makes it to the end of the movie, its Popcorn Chicken Salad.

Monday Oct 25, 2021
Monday Oct 25, 2021
In the twenty-fifth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, panelists Rocco Martone & Tim Capel join moderator Steve Riddle to discuss which Horror Film Icons deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Jason Voorhees a no-brainer? What about Freddy Krueger? Does Frankenstein’s Monster grab a spot? Does Michael Myers or Pinhead deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Horror Film Franchises will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Friday The 13th shouldn’t get a spot? Will the Classic Universal Monsters be included? Is Romero’s “Dead” Franchise in the conversation? What about A Nightmare On Elm Street & Child’s Play?

This week It Was a Thing on TV brings to you plenty of competition along with a short look at one of the biggest bombs in TV history.
First, recently, word came out that American Gladiators is being rebooted...again. By coincidence, we had this show slotted for this week in our schedule. We talk about 4 shows which tried riding the coattails of the Gladiators--Knights and Warriors, Blade Warriors, Battledome, and Wild West Showdown.
Next, we go to the ballpark, as some of 1967's brightest Major League Baseball players went against celebrities back in the day on the softball diamond, with some very special celebrities handling the duties behind the mic and two legends acting as managers.
Finally, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was TV's most popular show in 1969. The people behind it tried capitalizing on its popularity with a related show called Turn-On. There were instant regrets, as ABC turned it off before the first episode aired in full.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we are presenting sequels to two of our most popular editions.
First, one of our most popular series of shows is back for a third (and final?) installment. The three of us look at more video game adaptions of TV shows, one going back almost 40 years. Grab your controller and press start on The Video Game Show, Part 3.
Then, we've scoured the Internet and found more of the crazy, cheap, and just bad local commercials, enough for this second helping. From Dirt Cheap Liquor to our personal favorite Crazy Gideon, these ads have gone viral for a reason.
