This week on It Was a Thing on TV we discuss baseballs and compact discs.
First, in 1994 and 1995, both ABC and NBC had a joint venture where they'd air primetime baseball. It went sideways after some markets did not get regional coverage. It didn't help that there was a strike which cut short both seasons, including no World Series in 1994.
Then, we mark the 40th anniversary of the compact disc by going down under and all around the world for ABC Australia's coverage of the breakthrough technology. Someone should have warned people in 1982 to not touch the bottoms of CDs.
Finally, before baseball season began in 1999, during a viewer mail segment, a viewer asked David Letterman how Letterman prepared for opening day. The response was the first of three appearances of this segment, Ball, Get Out of My Nachos.

In this double It Was a Thing on TV Live Show pack we got football and we once again return to the world of Beyond Belief.
First, Greg and Chico look at the Pilot episode of "Friday Night Lights" from 2006 as they look at and examine the cast of characters that surround the Dillon Panthers football team. Also, we're here for that Mack Brown cameo in the middle of the episode with Coach Taylor.
Then, Mike, Greg and Chico are back for their second livewatch of Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. We watch another episode from Season 2 as Jonathan Frakes shows us stories about a retiring pro wrestler, a haunting VHS tape, a woman haunted by the ghost of her dead mother at a clothing store, an insurance scam and an escaping prisoner.
Play along with Mike and Chico as they determine what is truth and what is downright bullfunky.
