This week on It Was a Thing on TV we're setting sail as we bring the roast beef and the laserdisc player.
First, Laserdisc technology was new and hot in the early 80s. One time in 1981, Sears put out a catalog on laserdisc. We're not talking about it because of the technological innovations, nor are we here to talk about the general fashions of the day. We're primarily here to talk about one person, a key figure in this disc.
Next, thanks to a recent YouTube discovery we give you in almost entirely alphabetical order, every guest star on The Love Boat...almost.
Finally, in the early 90s, the fast food chain Rax thought outside the box with its mascot, selecting an animated spokesperson who was middle-aged, bland, monochrome, and going through multiple life crises, in order to attract the adult population. The campaign failed badly; Rax filed for bankruptcy 3 months later. Dickety-dee.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving but we're providing some leftovers from Thanksgiving's past as Greg, Mike and Chico look at the Thanksgiving Day Parades from 1985.
First, we do our annual look at the Macy's Parade. As always, we have bands, floats, and celebrities, but there was a little something extra as a postscript to this parade. It'll make you yell "Oh neat!" Just remember, the Paramus Toys'R'Us store is closed on Sundays.
Then, NBC wasn't the only network showing a parade on Thanksgiving 1985. CBS brought us parts of 5 different parades in its All-American Thanksgiving Parade, with TV stars in American locales including New York City, Detroit, Philadelphia, Hawaii, and...Toronto?! Each location had its own style, and some parades put more energy and creativity into their work than others.
