It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 449 & 450 - The Cheap Show/Cop Rock

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we reach a milestone with our 450th episode!
 
First for Episode 449, in an era where game shows were goofy, outrageous, and random, this game show was the goofiest, most outrageous, and the most random.  The Cheap Show was ridiculous, messy, and...well...cheap.  Sorry for the short episode.  There isn't much multimedia out there, nor is there much information about it.
 
Then for Episode 450, Steven Bochco, the genius behind hit shows including Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, and Doogie Howser, created Cop Rock, which was labeled as being revolutionary and potentially changing the landscape of television.  Despite tons of promotion, the show ran 3 months and has been deemed one of the biggest failures in television history.  Not only do we cover the series as always, but we will feature one song from each episode.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 447 & 448 - Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000/Hail to the Chief

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, by the time you hear this, Chico will have celebrated his birthday.  As is tradition around here, Chico gets to pick a special birthday topic.  He selected this movie which could only be acquired at your local Chuck E. Cheese's redemption center in 1999.  And it's for the best you could only get it there.
 
Then, in 1984, history was made after Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to be on a major party Presidential ticket.  Possibly piggybacking on this historic occasion, the people behind Soap developed a show about a female President trying to balance her work life with running the most powerful country in the world.  After a short run, this entry didn't get a second term, and its replacement became one of the iconic sitcoms of the 1980s.

In the fiftieth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Jon Keselica and Andy Atherton to discuss which 80s It Guys deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Prince a no-brainer? What about Hulk Hogan? Does Tom Cruise grab a spot? Does Michael J. Fox or Michael Jackson deserve a place? After that, they discuss which 80s It Girls will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Madonna shouldn’t get a spot? Will Mary Lou Retton be included? Is Brooke Shields in the conversation? What about Nancy Reagan or Molly Ringwald?
