This week on It Was a Thing on TV we can give you this puzzle board and if you act now we will throw in a set of triangles absolutely free!
 
First, they’re a staple on TV today, specifically in the overnight hours.  Half-hour infomercials came on the scene in the early 90s, filling holes in television schedules at all hours of the day.  In this installment, we look back at 9 such infomercials from the 1990s and talk about how cheesy they were and memories we had watching them.
 
Then, Merrill Heatter found his greatest success with Hollywood Squares.  After it was cancelled in 1980 (see episode 68), Heatter tried the Squares format, but with some twists.  In this show, we briefly cover 4 titles--Battlestars, The New Battlestars, All-Star Blitz, and the unsold 1993 pilot Hollywood Teasers.

Not a hoax! Not a dream! Dedicated comics coverage has returned to Place To Be Nation Pop at long last! Welcome to Traders of the Lost Arcs, a loving look back on the comics we love. In our inaugural episode, Tim Capel leads Shawn Kidd, Scott Shifflett, and Andy Atherton through the one that started it all: an infamous 1992 biweekly saga known as "Man & Wolf." Doesn't ring a bell? Perhaps you're familiar with the story by its more colloquial association - Cap-Wolf! In a nutshell, a simple missing persons case sees Captain America transformed into a werewolf! With guest stars galore, including Wolverine, Cable, and basically every canine-adjacent character in the whole damned Marvel Universe. PLUS: palace intrigue with Diamondback and Crossbones (aka "What the hell is a back-up story?"), Cap's cast of missing friends, the protracted adventures of D-Man and Bernie in the park, and the INSANE origins of Dr. Druid!
 
Far from a mere back-issue review, we analyze not only the story itself, but the context in which it was published. How exciting was it being a comics fan in 1992? What else was on the spinner rack at the same time? WHY did this see print? Plus, we heap praise on the writing talents of the late Mark Gruenwald and have... questions about those of artist Rik Levins. Enjoy this first time outing wherein Andy learns comics, Shiff exudes patience, and Shawn changes his mind! It's a wild kick-off to our monthly comics adventures!
 
On this episode: Captain America vol. 1 #402-408. Read along with us via Marvel Unlimited at https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/1996/captain_america_1968_-_1996.

In the thirty-seventh episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, panelist Johnnie Sea joins moderator/panelist Steve Riddle to discuss which Super NES Games deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Super Mario World a no-brainer? What about Super Metroid? Does Donkey Kong Country grab a spot? Does Earthbound or The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Sega Genesis Games will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Sonic The Hedgehog 2 shouldn’t get a spot? Will Toejam And Earl be included? Is NHL ‘94 in the conversation? What about Street Of Rage 2 & Shadow Dancer: The Legend Of Shinobi?

But yes, folks nothing about this movie would be complete without talking about Paul Rudd's favorite scene. Grab a Big Mac and listen to Greg and Mike watch the cinematic masterpiece that is "Mac and Me"
