It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 475 & 476 - How I Met Your Dad/Twisters (1982 pilot) (Pilot Month 2024 Finale)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we conclude Pilot Month 2024 by meeting your Dad in a Twist of a situation.
 
First, hot off the heels of How I Met Your Mother’s finale—and 8 years before appearing on Hulu—CBS & Fox began work on the next chapter, involving original creators Carter Bays & Craig Thomas, a future Oscar-nominated writer, a Golden Globe-nominated actress, a night of hard partying, a blue typewriter, and a girl named Cricket.
Then, we close the door on yet another pilot month with this amalgamation of pieces and parts from various game shows from the Bob Stewart family, mixed with the theme from a past and future Stewart show, and add a shuffleboard table for good measure.  The end result was Twisters, a truly unique concoction that didn't make NBC's schedule in late 1982/early 1983.

Enjoy!  Teams covered:  PHI [2:20], CLE [9:04], NO [13:22], NYK [18:35], PHX [25:25], LAC [29:48], LAL [36:04]; DEN [41:17], OKC [46:30]
