This week on It Was a Thing on TV we conclude our MLB All-Star Special from last week while doing some wizardly stuff.
 
First, we talked last week about the 1990 MLB All-Star Game, with its long rain delay.  Now, we're talking about what happened during that delay.  CBS fired up an episode of its freshman hit Rescue 911.  It was a bit of an odd selection, maybe more so because this episode had a gruesome event, during a jovial event (The All-Star Game.)
 
Then, What if Merlin the Magician lived in the 20th Century instead of during Arthurian times?  In 1981, CBS gave us an answer to that question when Merlin lived in San Francisco and owned an auto repair shop.  It appears CBS had faith in the series, but it went up against difficult competition from the start.

The games might be over in the NBA (unless you count summer league), so Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, are going to entertain the basketball podcast masses and play a game of their own. In this episode, they will discuss mega trades of years past and try to determine once and for all who won and who wound up holding the bag. Why did Chris Paul’s team both win AND lose in the trade that brought him to Houston? How badly did Sam Presti drop the ball when he sent James Harden out of Oklahoma City? And why does the Rudy Gobert trade remind Riche so much of a previous super deal: The Carmelo Anthony/Knicks deal? So suit up and take it out in episode 245 with the NBA-Team!
