PTBN's NBA-Team: Is It FAN-tastic Yet?!

We are finally in the month of April, and NBA playoff basketball is only a couple of weeks away, but are Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, feeling that special postseason fever yet? The standings are all over the place, the urgency is kicking in, and the ineligible MVP Joel Embiid will seek a loftier goal in Philadelphia. But can the Sixers escape the Play-In Tournament or the Boston Celtics in the first round? Is Riche getting a tad too excited about his New Orleans Pelicans being in the crowded West playoff hunt. They also talk about the Hawks' turning around their entire season with two straight wins over Boston, tanking teams, the streaking Houston Rockets, NIL money killing the G-League Ignite, and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 301 with the NBA-Team!

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 461 & 462 - Iron Chef USA/Life on Mars (US)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we ask ourselves is there Life on Mars?
 
First, in Episode 461, in the late 90s and early 2000s, one of the surprise cult classic hit TV shows was the original Iron Chef from Japan.  Naturally, an American network had to take their stab at a domestic version.  The end result was two episodes where William Shatner got more screen time than the food itself.  Unfortunately, the charm of the original version was lost in translation when it originally went across the Pacific.
 
Then in Episode 462, this year's Lost in Translation block concludes with an import from the UK about a police detective who was hit by a car in 2008, but ends up in 1973 after regaining his consciousness.  Life on Mars was part of a powerful ABC Thursday night line-up, but lasted only one season.
