This week on It Was a Thing on TV we celebrate our 400th episode of the podcast!
First, in Episode 399, the late 70s experienced a sci-fi kick in theaters and on television. Someone had the idea to create a show which crossed science fiction with Sanford and Son, somewhat. Salvage 1 was about a crew who went to the moon to bring lunar junk back to Earth, but they did everything but that. What was Andy Griffith thinking?
Then, we have reached Episode 400! This time, we're talking about a show whose formula worked in theaters as Turner and Hooch, but the dog can talk?! And Italy enjoyed this so much, they revived it in 2000?!?!

In the forty-fifth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Chad Campbell to discuss which East Coast Rap Songs deserve a place on their respective lists. Is “Juicy” by Notorious B.I.G. a no-brainer? What about “Life’s A Bitch” by Nas? Does “O.P.P.” by Naughty By Nature grab a spot? Does “Brooklyn Zoo” by Ol’ Dirty Bastard or “Rebel Without A Pause” by Public Enemy deserve a place? After that, they discuss which West Coast Rap Songs will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that “California Love” by 2Pac shouldn’t get a spot? Will “Straight Outta Compton” by N.W.A. be included? Is “It Was A Good Day” by Ice Cube in the conversation? What about “Gin And Juice” by Snoop Dogg & “Nothin’ But a G Thang” by Dr. Dre?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we talk about Stephen J. Cannell and The Cube!
First, J.J. Starbuck fit a formula one prolific producer had used repeatedly and successfully. It got good ratings, despite being moved multiple times, though the ratings weren't good enough for the most popular broadcast network at the time. It also got beaten three separate times by a person who has problems with cheese.
Then, we present a live show that we recorded back in May here on PTBN Pop as Mike, Greg, and Chico watch the Season 2 Premiere of The Cube on TBS
