This week on It Was a Thing on TV we talk about one hit wonders and the patron saint of this podcast.
First, it's listener request time once again! This time, we look at a 1977 summer replacement variety show with the band behind one of 1976's biggest songs. The Starland Vocal Band Show may have centered around a one-hit wonder, but it starred some future star power.
Then, it's been a while since we have talked about the patron saint of this podcast. McLean's birthday is coming soon, so we felt the time was appropriate to talk about his first series after he left M*A*S*H. To be fair, you can't fully blame McLean for this show's downfall.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we talk about the Presidency and the episode that you picked for us to cover!
First, with the election season we felt it was appropriate to visit this relevant dramedy turned comedy with George C. Scott from FOX's early days.
Then, in October, we asked you to vote on which of three candidates you wanted us to cover as our Election Day episode. Your winner was Fish, the spin-off of Barney Miller about Phil Fish's home life with his wife and five precocious scamps.
