It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 513 & 514 - Max Headroom (The TV Series)/Max Headroom (The Piracy Incident)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re going 20 minutes into the future!
 
First, before this week’s episodes, we discuss the future of the podcast here on Place to be Nation POP and then discuss what’s to come in the coming year.
 
Then, we start by talking about one of the biggest pop culture sensations in the 1980s who was an omnipresent personality for the computer generation named Max Headroom.  Not only was Max Headroom a talk show host, a soda pitchman, and visible on different mediums in the latter half of the 80s, but this phenomenon even got a scripted television show which ran over two seasons, a show about a post-apocalyptic dystopia reminiscent of 1984.
 
Finally, in 1987, the signals of both WGN and WTTV in Chicago were overtaken by two brief unknown signals, both showing an unknown figure wearing a Max Headroom mask.  To this day, there are more answers than questions about these incidents:  Who did this?  How did they do it?  Why did they do it?  To this day, these brief interruptions remain one of the biggest mysteries to occur on U.S. broadcast television.

Is Nikola Jokic probably going to win league MVP for the fourth time as he leads the league in rebounds and assists? Is it panic time already in Milwaukee with Giannis and Doc Rivers? And do the Chicago Bulls take the cake as THE worst defense in the NBA so far? Riche and Adam also discuss 'Inside the NBA' surviving after a court settlement between TWD and the league, M.I.P. candidates, League Pass guilty pleasures, and more! So suit up and take it in episode 325 with the NBA-Team!

It Was a Thing on TV: Episode 512 - Dan August

As listeners may know, we love our Quinn Martin-produced shows.  In this episode, we go back to one of his earliest crime drama efforts, with a lead who would be the biggest movie star by the end of the 1970s.  Dan August had all the hallmarks of a great series, but there was one key item missing--viewership.  Come for Burt Reynolds and non-comedic Norman Fell, stay for an astounding number of quality guest stars.
