This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, in this installment, we look at another show which was rated as one of the worst shows of all-time.  Was Me and the Chimp justifiably the 46th worst show ever?  Maybe if audiences went bananas over the ridiculous plot, we wouldn't be talking about this show almost 53 years later.
 
Then, over the years, we have talked about revivals and sequels, which are almost never as successful or popular as the original.  This is another case of that.  Update a beloved franchise without any of its original cast and give that show an undesirable time slot, and it is bound to fail quickly.  After less than a dozen episodes, this update of Kojak enjoyed its last lollipop, quickly going to dustbin of bad TV updates.

In the fifty-third episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Steve Bennett, James Gruenberg, and Andy Atherton (with a special appearance by Steve's daughter Paula) to discuss which Baseball Films deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Major League a no-brainer? What about A League of Their Own? Does The Bad News Bears (1976) grab a spot? Does Bull Durham or Angels in the Outfield deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which Football Films will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that The Waterboy shouldn’t get a spot? Will Remember the Titans be included? Is Little Giants in the conversation? What about The Blind Side or Varsity Blues?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, NBC tried spinning off one of its most successful shows from the 80s, the drama Hill Street Blues, into a comedy/drama Beverly Hills Buntz.  The first episode brought great ratings, but that was thanks to a cushy time slot.  Naturally, the audience didn't carry over after moving to a not-so-cushy time slot and the show ended with 4 episodes still in the can.
 
Then, daytime games in the 80s were a strength of NBC.  CBS had a stable roster of shows, though the block was only two hours compared to three at NBC.  For some reason, CBS canceled the venerable $25,000 Pyramid for this show.  This show did not live up to expectations, so much so that its replacement was the same show it replaced.

It's hard to believe that our 11th season previews are slowly coming to an end, and what a better way to wrap it up with teams who appear who have thrown in the towel already...i'm sorry, "focusing on development." If this were european soccer, these teams would be up for relegation down to the G League, but here, nope, they are just relegated to League Pass. Teams covered this episode are BKN 3:00, CHA 9:50, DET 15:10, POR 20:55, TOR 26:00, WAS 31:55, UTA 37:50. Enjoy!
