On the thirty-first installment of the Pop Goes The Classics series looking at the Disney animated features, Andy Atherton, Mirandia Berthold & Steve Riddle look at 1997’s Hercules. They discuss the many aspects of the film including: the choice of going into Greek mythology for an animated film; The Muses and how they keep the story moving; the animators use of color and brightness; James Woods’ take on Hades; the bumbling, yet fun sidekicks Pain & Panic; the fact that no else could’ve been Phil but Danny DeVito; the great addition of CGI with the Hydra; Meg not being a damsel in distress; the battle with the Titans; the under the radar great horse characters in Disney animation; the hero’s journey of Hercules and whether or not Meg should become an official Disney princess.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV, 3’s a crowd as we’re recovering from a high flying adventure bringing kids in 1982 some Atari 2600 games.
 
First, when a character in a series is popular, networks want to ride that character's popularity as long as possible.  When ABC canceled Three's Company, the network retained Jack Tripper, but placed him in a new series with a new love...and her father.  Hilarity tried to ensue.
 
Next, We have brought you shows on Hulk Hogan commercials, Ric Flair commercials, and three separate installments of Hometown Commercials.  Our early Christmas present to you is a look at ads for something everybody wanted under the tree from 1979 to 1982--the Atari 2600 VCS, and games for the system.
 
Finally, What started in 1985 as a popular Christmas toy tradition at a midwest department store, Santabear became so popular that two years later, CBS gave him his own primetime special on Christmas Eve 1987.
Santabear must help the residents of the South Pole discover the magic of Christmas while facing off with Santa's former helper Bullybear. With the help of a lady bear named Missy, Santabear goes on a high flying adventure to save Christmas for everyone before Bullybear can destroy all the presents.

Seriously, who hires a bear who calls himself Bullybear?

It’s NOT the series finale of the show. Heck, it’s not even the SEASON finale of the show. But it IS the final episode of 2022 for Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, and they are ready to take on the tough questions. How did the Orlando Magic become the hottest team in the league not named the Memphis Grizzlies? Which Eastern Conference team is in trouble between Washington, Chicago, and Toronto? Will all the California teams make the postseason and if not, is it possible the Steph-less defending champion Warriors will be on the outside looking in? Riche and Adam also discuss the horrible award names, rubbing it in during big wins, the holiday tradition that is the Anthony Davis injury, and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 261 with the NBA-Team!
