It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 459 & 460 - Easy Street/Days Like These
Friday Mar 08, 2024
Friday Mar 08, 2024
This week on It Was a Thing on TV
First, in Episode 459, Hugh Wilson and Loni Anderson worked together on a popular series in the late 70s and early 80s, WKRP in Cincinnati. They tried to parlay that magic into another series four years after WKRP's end, one where a former showgirl, played by Anderson, married her wealthy husband, who died. When you're battling family members who want that money, life isn't so easy on Easy Street.
Then in Episode 460, the annual Lost in Translation episodes start with another British adaptation of a beloved American sitcom. Despite American scripts being localized for a UK audience, Days Like These didn't click. Maybe it needed a catchy phrase in its opening like "Hello Luton!"

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re going mental!
First, in Episode 457, Black History Month 2024 concludes with a comedy starring a comedic legend, trying to capitalize on the success of a similar show on another network. Despite pulling the stops to make it popular including adding a familiar face later in its sole season, Charlie & Company is just a footnote in history.
Then in Episode 458, Mike's birthday is this weekend and he played his Money in the Bank on this short-lived cartoon that, while absolutely hilarious, aired at the wrong time slot and/or aired either a few years early or a few years late. Celebrate Mike's birthday by getting completely mental with Ed Grimley and those in his universe.

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

Tuesday Feb 27, 2024
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!
