It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 495 & 496 - Laugh-In/Clerks: The Animated Series

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, not to be confused with Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, this version was a series of specials throughout the 1977-78 television season with little connection to the original.  The positive of this version is a superstar talent got his first national exposure on this show, among other talents who had lengthy careers in television and elsewhere.  A negative is the producer got sued and lost millions because he didn't have everybody's permission to do this show.
 
Then, Kevin Smith gave us "Clerks", a cult classic indie film from 1994. "Clerks" gave us Jay & Silent Bob. Jay & Silent Bob gave us a lot of laughs.... so ABC gave an order for an animated follow-up. Then America gave it a shot... and ABC gave up after a pair of eps, only for the show to become... a cult classic. Join us as we travel the full circle to the Quick Stop.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 493 & 494 -1970s and 1980s 15-minute education shows on PBS/Bob

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we close out Back to School 2024 week and then we honor a recently departed TV legend.
 
First, it's time for the final entry of Back to School 2024.  This time, we're focusing on educational shows.  Everybody remembers shows like 3-2-1 Contact, The Electric Company, and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.  But do you remember some of the 15-minute shows like Wordsmith and Math Wise?  If not, we have you covered in this episode about educational shows which generally ran from about 9 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon from the 1970s through the early 1990s.
 
To see many of the shows mentioned in this episode and more, visit https://libraries.indiana.edu/agency-instructional-technology-ait.
 
Then, Bob Newhart struck gold with The Bob Newhart Show in the 70s and Newhart in the 80s through 1990.  Could Newhart do it again with another self-titled endeavor?  Bob was a clever and funny show, but it didn't have a certain something that both his previous shows had.  Despite quality names as guests including a future Friend, the show was saddled with bad time slots and only lasted a handful of episodes into its second season.
