This week on It Was a Thing on TV we look back at two African-American sitcoms.
First, we start with a short-lived classic from 1974. Clifton Davis was a free-spirited bachelor barber. He had friends and family who loved him, including Theresa Merritt, known for having an opinion on anything and everything. What else could he say except… “That’s My Mama!”
Then, it was CBS' new hotness in 1991, one of the best new shows on television. Then tragedy happened and retooling had to occur. There are some "what ifs" regarding The Royal Family, specifically around its star.

After a wild trade deadline followed by a long All-Star break layoff, it’s easy to catch some sleep while the highest scoring NBA game took place in L.A. in the late hours. But leave it to Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, to burn the midnight oil and catch the listeners up on all things pro basketball. In this episode of “Will He or Won’t He?, they discuss who will come back first between Kevin Durant, Zion Williamson, and Karl-Anthony Towns (in which Andrew somehow takes both sides at once!) Did the buyout market bring some potential season-changing adjustments? Are the Memphis Grizzlies now the heels of the 2022-23 season? Who is firing up the tank? All this and so much more! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!
