In the forty-eighth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Ashley Cruse, Andy Atherton, Steve Bennett, and Aaron George to discuss which Lead Singers deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Freddie Mercury a no-brainer? What about Steve Perry? Does Mick Jagger grab a spot? Does Eddie Vedder or Jon Bon Jovi deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Guitarists will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Eddie Van Halen shouldn’t get a spot? Will Jimi Hendrix be included? Is Eric Clapton in the conversation? What about Carlos Santana or Angus Young?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we continue with our Doctor Who 60th Anniversary celebration!
First, Doctor Who was an instantaneous sensation that, in 1964, the ABC in Australia commissioned a show similar to yet different from The Doctor. Thought to be lost for decades, The Stranger found its way to the Internet in 2019. Judge for yourself as we continue our tribute to the Doctor's 60th anniversary.
Then, Vincent Price wanted to bring Doctor Who to the States, with an American version. When that failed, he decided to make his own version aboard a train. Time Express was a limited series, starting while Supertrain was still airing. Both shows got derailed in May 1979.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we honor two anniversaries of popular shows.
First, We start our celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who by looking at this American adaptation of "Broadchurch". Adapted from the ITV drama created by future Doctor Who EP Chris Chibnall the American version brought back the Tenth Doctor himself David Tennant in the lead role. Did this limited event series find an audience on FOX in 2014 or was it another victim of Lost in Translation?
Then, our tribute to Doctor Who continues with an entry that picks up where it all began. Join the students of Coal Hill Academy as they team up with an alien prince and the teacher/warlord he’s psychically tethered to as they protect the school from otherworldly threats for all of 8 episodes. “Class” is in session.
Finally, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise, Greg and Chico in this live show recorded back in September go back to 1993 and take a look at where it all began with the premiere episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in this special live show.
