This week on It Was a Thing on TV we celebrate Thanksgiving with our annual look at past parades!
First, we go back to 1988, to see what were the big shows on Broadway, to see what TV stars would appear on floats, to see what the big gifts of 1988 were, to see what headwear Willard Scott was donning, and to see the grand ending of the parade--Santa Claus!
Then, we jump back 43 years to 1981. What was the hotness that year? A version of Strawberry Shortcake which was reminiscent to the technology used in Malcolm, for one. The video game surge started, though it wasn't represented in the parade. As you prepare to do Black Friday shopping, remember to go to the AT&T phone store and get a Garfield phone.

Thanksgiving week is here, but some NBA teams this seasons have been more busy sharing injuries & playoff seeds than sharing the ball (just ask the Philadelphia 76ers!). But thankfully, two who have shared the microphone for years, Adam Murray & Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are here to provide family therapy for teams struggling at the table. The Cleveland Cavaliers finally lost a game to the defending champion Boston Celtics on national television, but can we take any stock in the match up, and who else in the East can catch up to them? Franz Wagner is having a career year on a good Orlando team, but will it close to impossible for him to win M.I.P.? The Rockets are doing a lot of things right, but why are we both concerned about them? Riche and Adam also discuss the dominant East-West combo of Giannis & Jokic, the scrappy Detroit Pistons, the new All-Star Game format, who will make it to Las Vegas for the NBA Cup, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 326 with the NBA-Team!

In the fifty-fourth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Ashley Cruse, Jeremy Nichols, and Scott Criscuolo to discuss which Bond Villains deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Ernst Stavro Blofled a no-brainer? What about Francisco Scaramanga? Does Auric Goldfinger grab a spot? Does Jaws or Le Chiffre deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which Bond Title Songs will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Nobody Does It Better shouldn’t get a spot? Will Goldfinger be included? Is Skyfall in the conversation? What about For Your Eyes Only or Live and Let Die?
