NBA-Team: Relegation

It's hard to believe that our 11th season previews are slowly coming to an end, and what a better way to wrap it up with teams who appear who have thrown in the towel already...i'm sorry, "focusing on development." If this were european soccer, these teams would be up for relegation down to the G League, but here, nope, they are just relegated to League Pass. Teams covered this episode are BKN 3:00, CHA 9:50, DET 15:10, POR 20:55, TOR 26:00, WAS 31:55, UTA 37:50. Enjoy!

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 503 & 504 - Partridge Family 2200 A.D./The Ropers Revisited

First, numerous successful scripted television shows made their way to Saturday mornings in the mid-70s, like I Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan's Island, and Star Trek.  The Partridge Family got the same treatment in 1974, but with a catch--it's set over 200 years in the future.  Also, some key components in the Partridge Family universe were missing.  If you see the show image, it looks awfully similar to a venerable Hanna-Barbera series, and for good reason.
 
Then, it's time for another Revisited episode.  This time, we're looking at a show that, in recent months, has appeared on-demand and airs with regularity on a FAST channel.  We're checking in again with The Ropers and questioning whether it truly is one of the 50 worst shows in TV history.  You be the judge, but we think it does not deserve that moniker.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 500, 501 & 502 - Supertrain Revisited/Today's FBI/Hometown Commercials, Volume 5

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we hit 500 episodes!
 
First, almost five years ago, we started this podcast.  Now, we are celebrating our 500th episode by going back to an early favorite of ours and revisiting it, mostly for the caliber of guest stars that we didn't recognize back then.  Enjoy as we go back to one of the biggest flops in television history, as we prepare to do the next 500, leading to show 1000.
 
Next, The FBI was a stalwart on ABC's line-up from 1965 through 1974.  The network kicked the tires on a new, updated version of their venerable classic in 1981 with this show, which featured contemporary storylines and a more diverse cast of characters.  Audiences weren't buying what ABC was selling, as this new version lasted merely a season.
 
Finally, we're back with another batch of goofy and bizarre hometown commercials in Volume 5 for Episode 502.
