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?

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 445 & 446 - The Overmyer/United Network and The Las Vegas Show/Acceptable.tv

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, in television history, there have been several attempts at becoming a viable competitor to ABC, NBC, and CBS.  Some have succeeded (FOX), while others were not so lucky (MyTV, PAX).  In this installment, we turn the clock back to the mid-60s where a mogul in the warehouse industry started his own network which had a name change before going to air, aired one series in its existence, and lasted a month.
 
Then, in the mid-to-late 2000s, VH-1 was looking for a comedic complement to its highly successful Best Week Ever.  One such complement was this show, created by some names who would go on to bigger and better things, where the home audience decided which short series did not cut the mustard, and which ones would see another week because...they were acceptable (dot) tv.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 443 & 444 - What happens when a character dies?/What happens when the star dies?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, we're taking a look at what happens when deaths occur on TV shows.  To start, we look at a handful of incidents where a character dies in a TV show, why the character dies, and how a show handles such an occurrence.  This episode does not talk about actual actor passings; we will cover that subject on Thursday.
 
Then, we look at the more tragic side of what happens when someone on a show passes away in real life.  This episode gets into some potentially disturbing topics.  Listener discretion is advised.
