NBC had a thing for summer camp movies with some of the most popular teenage talent at the time.  (See Episode 278, Poison Ivy.)  Unlike Poison Ivy, Camp Cucamonga wasn't well-remembered, nor was it even that good.  Enjoy some stereotypical rapping and a predictable ending with some of your favorite teenage stars from 1990 in this installment.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 390 & 391 - Blansky’s Beauties/The Flash (1990)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we look at a failed spin-off and look at a TV show with Barry Allen (no, not THAT one!)
 
First, we have talked about many failed spinoffs in the past, but this one is unique in the sense that it didn't happen concurrently with the parent show.  Rather, this was set in 1977, versus Happy Days' 50s/60s setting.  That is just the beginning of the confusion regarding Blansky's Beauties.
 
Then, before you see the Ezra Miller Flash f' up the DC multiverse for everybody, we talk about the highly bandied about original version of The Flash from 1990 on CBS, which went up against two powerhouse shows on its initially scheduled night, then went up against more tough competition on not such a great night.
 
But don't feel too bad as this version of The Flash would get closure close to 30 years later in the current version of The Flash on The CW.

Traders of the Lost Arcs #6: Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters

Having completely failed to learn any lessons from last episode's DIVISIVE outing, we're back with another selection from the 1980s! Will Mike Grell's creative tour-de-force as writer and artist of the deluxe DC miniseries GREEN ARROW: THE LONGBOW HUNTERS serve as our redemption? Or only further drive the wedge? Listen and learn as we unpack this more mature outing for DC's emerald archer, gush over the lavish artwork and colors, speculate on the story's contemporary influences, and examine its legacy in terms of modern comics storytelling. With its biting social commentary, inverted gender roles, and gritty, street-level aesthetic, it's hard to say whether this this project is ahead of its time or exactly OF its time. Join us as we do our best to settle the score on this overlooked post-Crisis character reintroduction!
