Another week, another reason to contemplate whether this really might be THE end for Steph Curry’s Warriors after a decade of (mostly) success.

In the forty-ninth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Steve Bennett to discuss which Underrated TV Shows deserve a place on their respective lists. Is the A-Team a no-brainer? What about Rocko's Modern Life? Does Parenthood grab a spot? Does King of the Hill or Full House deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Overrated TV Shows will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Friends shouldn’t get a spot? Will Breaking Bad be included? Is How I Met Your Mother in the conversation? What about the Big Bang Theory or Game of Thrones?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
First, you are the network with the most watched show on television. What do you do? Create a spin-off. But not just any spin-off, a sequel, to outdo anything the mother program ever did, up to and including alien abduction. That’s what ABC did with Dynasty and The Colbys. We break down why that was a mistake with the help of a special guest.
Then, 9ne of our current favorite shows from the past is The New Liar's Club, a reboot of the popular game from the late 1970s. The game's the same but the caliber of celebrities was very much Canadian because, as Greg would say, John Barbour's son did all the casting for the show. Maybe all the money was spent getting a Rolls Royce in the show's open...
