This week on It Was a Thing on TV, we go on the streets with our motorcycle while looking at the prison system.
 
First, in 1985, NBC has a little show called Knight Rider and CBS has Airwolf, while ABC has neither.  Give an LAPD cop a high-powered motorcycle during his time off-the-clock and he's ABC's response--Street Hawk, another show that was more popular overseas than domestically.
 
Then, FOX was the newcomer on the block in 1987, specifically when it came to primetime programming.  They threw a lot of stuff against the wall, to see if much stuck.  Women in Prison was one such program that just didn't click.  But that theme song!

The Warriors have won their fourth NBA championship in eight seasons, but even though the trophies have been given out, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, are still on the court ready to take their listeners on a ride. Has Steph Curry sealed his legacy in the pantheon now that he finally has a Finals MVP, but can he do it again before the 34-year-old reaches his twilight? What was it like having the first “regular” season in three years? Has this year’s Draft “buzz-less”? Does co-expert Adam Murray still have cable? Listen in for the spicy answers! So suit up and take it out in episode 241 with NBA-Team!

In the thirty-third episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, panelist Jon Keselica joins moderator/panelist Steve Riddle to discuss which 80’s Music Videos deserve a place on their respective lists. Is “You Might Think” by The Cars a no-brainer? What about “Take On Me” by a-ha? Does “Nothing But A Good Time” by Poison grab a spot? Does “Money For Nothing” by Dire Straits or “Land of Confusion” by Genesis deserve a place? After that, they discuss which 90’s Music Videos will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that “Sabotage” by Beastie Boys shouldn’t get a spot? Will “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana be included? Is “Criminal” by Fiona Apple in the conversation? What about “Praise You” by Fatboy Slim & “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears?

This week, we recognize our hard working immigrants that make our country strong! We also took a visit to summer camp to catch up on some old friends.
 
First, it's the mid-80s, the Cold War rages on, and a comedian from Soviet Russia makes it big with appearances on Carson and on the stand-up circuit, and as a semi-regular on Night Court.  In 1986, he got his own vehicle, What a Country!  Listen to who was cast as the macho ex-Marine turned principal.
 
Then, you wanted us to watch this sort-of spiritual successor to High School U.S.A. (Episode 158) and we did!  Why did this movie about a summer camp originally air in the not-so summer month of February 1985?  We know why it reran in July 1985, besides it was summer.
