This week, we're celebrating Norman Lear's 100th birthday by looking at two of his less successful shows. We start with Lear's adaptation of a play about a seedy hotel with even seedier residents, Hot l Baltimore. Most of the players were relative newcomers, and three went on to much greater success in the decades that followed.
Next, we continue with possibly Norman's most obscure series, airing for just 5 episodes in 1977. A Year at the Top followed the Faustian formula of selling one's soul to the devil for instant success. Audiences gave it a month at the bottom of the ratings.

In this surprise It Was a Thing on TV Live Show we go back to a show covered in Episode 117 as we look at a special episode of Personal Injury Court.
In this episode, Gino gives us the legal sauce in a case where a lady gets blinded in an eye by a bag of peanuts at a baseball game thrown by the team mascot.
Let's just say that the costume of the mascot is something that has been seen to be appreciated.
You can watch the episode and follow along at the official YouTube channel for Personal Injury Court. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXfEgepI5UA

We're giving you two shows for the price of one this episode. These shows premiered on the same day, the shows aired consecutively on NBC, and both looked technologically amazing for late 1976. Alas, technology couldn't save the pair, as their final shows aired on the last day of the year.
