PTBN's NBA-Team: Get Your Dukes Up!

The NBA is embroiled in tension and fisticuffs after a predictably boring and meaningless All-Star Game, but why so serious all of a sudden? The pressure is on to make it or tank it, and Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back from the break to talk about the goings-on. Is it possible that we already know the 10 teams in the Eastern and Western Conference that we will see in the postseason? Why did the Nets fire their head coach now, and would it have made any difference after a sideways season? Are the Warriors and Lakers already in their playoff survival mode, or will they kick it into another veteran-laden gear? Riche and Adam also talk about 10-day contracts, the Bucks slowly getting things right under Doc Rivers, the curious case of the Rockets rotation, and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 299 with the NBA-Team!

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 455 & 456 - Melba/Baby...I'm Back!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we continue our celebration of Black History Month
 
First in Episode 455, Broadway legend Melba Moore was given a starring vehicle for her own CBS sitcom in Early 1986. Sadly, it had the misfortune of premiering the same day as a tragic news story.
 
However, was the news story the reason the show failed or something else entirely?
Then in Episode 456, Demond Wilson's first post-Sanford and Son role was in this series, as a husband who abandoned his wife and family for seven years and was legally declared dead.  Not only was Wilson back on TV after a short time away, but baby, he's back for his family.

In this minisode, Andrew tries to guess whether NBA players, back when they were five-star blue-chip prospects in high school, went to their local public school, a nearby private school, or went to pipeline schools like Oak Hill Academy. Enjoy!

It Was a Thing on TV: Minisode 31, Episode 453 & Episode 454 - The Fanduel Kick of Destiny/Frank's Place/Cleghorne

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we conclude our Super Bowl series of shows and start our Black History Month series.
 
First in Minisode 31, last year on "Super Sunday" former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski was involved in an ad campaign for Fanduel where he'd attempt to make a 25-yard field goal in the Arizona desert in a live commercial during the game. We'd soon find out that this attempt was about as accurate as a three-dollar bill. 
 
Then in Episode 453, CBS' most hyped show in 1987-88 was Frank's Place, about an academic who inherits a New Orleans restaurant.  There was so much publicity for it that its two main stars hosted CBS' series of unsold pilots in Summer 1987.  Despite the hype and critical acclaim, it was done in a season.  There was one big name who admits to liking it and recording it.
 
Finally in Episode 454, Ellen Cleghorne was a groundbreaking talent when she was on Saturday Night Live.  The WB gave her her own show, which was gone in months.  Was the problem that Cleghorne! was on The WB, or was it something else?
