This week on It Was a Thing on TV
First, a favorite comedy movie franchise around these parts is the Police Academy series. Between installments 5 and 6, an animated series aired in syndication, following the exploits of those crazy cops...and talking police dogs?! All the characters from the series appeared, but with none of their movie talent counterparts.
Then, almost a decade after the animated version we covered in episode 417, there was a live-action version of Police Academy, 8 years after the franchise's last nationwide theatrical release. Unlike the animated show, personalities from the Police Academy movies made appearances. After a season, the powers that be opted to put these cops on desk duty.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
First, in the 70s, Sherwood Schwartz had an idea to introduce a couple with a multiethnic group of kids. The ahead-of-its-time idea was revisited in the mid 80s, but would anybody watch it? And what happens when nobody watches it? On this episode, we break down the strange case of “Together We Stand”…. Or “Nothing is Easy”.
Then, in honor of Susan St. James' 77th birthday back in August, Greg and Chico looked at this 2004 straight-to-DVD movie about a down on his luck clutz who teams up with a sea captain to find a sunken treasure. Also, Lou Rawls and Richard Moll are trying to stop them for some reason. We're also pretty sure that The Dove Foundation which "approved" this movie didn't actually watch this.
