This week on It Was a Thing on TV, we look at 1-900 numbers and trivia!
Art Fleming, legendary Jeopardy! emcee, made a very brief return to television in the early 90s with The Great American Telephone Trivia Game. Is it an infomercial? Is it a game show? ¿Por qué no los dos? Is it a bunch of hooey? You bet it is, and it cost just $1.95 per minute!Listener discretion is advised due to language.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we look at a gold monkey and talk about Dorf.
First, now in theaters is the fifth and final outing of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. In 1982, ABC aired a show similar to *BUT* legally distinct from Raiders of the Lost Ark and it came from TV legend Donald Bellisario. It had action and excitement but could it capitalize on the adventure fever of Raiders? Weeeeeellllllllllllllllll, you'll have to listen to find out.
Then, because we are on the summer schedule, we thought it was time to give you one of our backlogged live shows that we haven’t had time to post here on PTBN POP.
Before Opening Day, Greg, Mike, and Chico sat down to watch Tim Conway as that famous character from 1990’s VHS commercials “Dorf” show how he does things on the diamond. Does hilarity ensue? Meh.

On this Fourth of July, we all let freedom ring, but will free agency ring in new hope for some NBA franchises and the latest unapologetically expensive super team in Phoenix? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, are back after an always eventful month of June to talk about the fast track offseason movement and recap the seat and free agency, but are they fast lanes to triumph or bridges to nowhere?
Did Dallas make a devil’s deal by re-signing Kyrie Irving? Did Portland push Damian Lillard out by drafting Scoot Henderson and giving $160 million to Jerami Grant? Why the hell were the dreadful Houston Rockets the hottest destination in free agency? Riche and Adam also talk about the importance of teams keeping their powder dry, the quizzical moves, winners and losers, a blockbuster trade on the horizon, rookie maxes, and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 280 with the NBA-Team!

In the forty-fourth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston to discuss which Underrated Musicians & Bands deserve a place on their respective lists. Is REO Speedwagon a no-brainer? What about Pearl Jam? Does Everclear grab a spot? Does The Verve or Soundgarten deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Overrated Musicians & Bands will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that The Doors shouldn’t get a spot? Will Led Zeppelin be included? Is Sublime in the conversation? What about KISS & John Mayer?
