This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, we're taking a look at what happens when deaths occur on TV shows.  To start, we look at a handful of incidents where a character dies in a TV show, why the character dies, and how a show handles such an occurrence.  This episode does not talk about actual actor passings; we will cover that subject on Thursday.
 
Then, we look at the more tragic side of what happens when someone on a show passes away in real life.  This episode gets into some potentially disturbing topics.  Listener discretion is advised.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 441 & 442 - The Good Life (1994)/The Tim Conway Show (1980)

For the first Friday drop of It Was a Thing on TV on PTBN Pop
 
First, Happy 2024!  We start the new year with a show that debuted 30 years ago this week.  It only ran the typical 13 episodes.  Comparisons were made to more successful shows on TV at the time, though at least one of us saw a very raw version of a show which would become a hit two seasons later with one of the show's performers.
 
Then, timing can and very might have been the reason The Tim Conway Show did not have a longer life, even going from an hour to a half an hour for season 2.  As is most anything with Tim Conway, it was entertaining.  The rest of the cast was great.  Unfortunately, the variety show was a dying breed in 1980.
