This week on It Was a Thing on TV
First, In honor of what would have been Bob Barker's 100th birthday on the 12th of December, we talk about one of his lesser-known ventures.In 1980, both ABC and NBC had popular reality shows in the forms of That's Incredible! and Real People, respectively. CBS wanted a piece of this reality action. The result was a show somewhat based on a title which was successful for the network for almost 20 years.
Then, in theaters soon is a new Aquaman movie and in honor of its release, we have two special episodes dedicated to it. First, we start with a pilot which should have made it to air but the timing may have been horrible, plus the price tag on the pilot was astronomical. Greg spent his hard-earned money to see this pilot and offers up a thorough recap.

In the forty-ninth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Steve Bennett to discuss which Underrated TV Shows deserve a place on their respective lists. Is the A-Team a no-brainer? What about Rocko's Modern Life? Does Parenthood grab a spot? Does King of the Hill or Full House deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Overrated TV Shows will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Friends shouldn’t get a spot? Will Breaking Bad be included? Is How I Met Your Mother in the conversation? What about the Big Bang Theory or Game of Thrones?
