This week on It Was a Thing on TV we look at a show from UPN, a Canadian kids game show and a legendary rant by Hannibal Smith.
First, UPN tried throwing almost anything on their schedule in the late 90s. Shasta McNasty is no exception. It was so bad that the title was cut in half to just Shasta during the show's run. Even cross-promotions with WWF Smackdown couldn't lure viewers. This was basically the most 1999 TV show that ever 1999'd.
Next, in honor of Susan St. James’ birthday, we mark the occasion the only way we know how--by utilizing a running gag on this show. Uh Oh! was a Canadian game show for kids, despite an antagonist who looks like he should be running a sex dungeon. A kid's show with who appears to be a dungeon master ran for six seasons in Canada!
Finally, In 1979, early on in Password Plus' run, George Peppard made an appearance as a celebrity player. On the first show, Peppard put his foot in his mouth, while ranting about forms NBC (and presumably other networks) had people sign. As a result, Peppard never played another game.

In the thirty-fourth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, panelists Jon Keselica, Greg Diner & Rob Kinler joins moderator Steve Riddle to discuss which Saddest TV Deaths deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Henry Blake from “M.A.S.H.” a no-brainer? What about Mr. Hooper from “Sesame Street”? Does Adriana La Cerva from “The Sopranos” grab a spot? Does Seymour The Dog from “Futurama” or Coach from “Cheers” deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Saddest Movie Deaths will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Ellie from “Up” shouldn’t get a spot? Will Jack Dawson from “Titanic” be included? Is Yondu from “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.II” in the conversation? What about Thomas J. Sennett from “My Girl” & Bubba from “”Forrest Gump”?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we look at an adaptation of a popular movie that was made before the current adaptation of a popular movie while living in high society.
First, in honor of the “A League of Their Own” Amazon Prime series, this episode takes a look at the "blink and you'll miss it" television version of one of the breakout movie hits of 1992. This version had a handful of characters reprising their roles in one-off appearances and its TV fate may have been set in stone by a certain organization.
Then, in episode 61, we talked about the season when NBC owned and operated stations had primetime starting at 7:30. We talked about one of those 5 shows, We Got it Made, in episode 66. Another show from that experiment is this show's focus. Marblehead Manor follows the antics of a wealthy family and their staff at their palatial residence.
