This week on It Was a Thing on TV
First, in the 70s, Sherwood Schwartz had an idea to introduce a couple with a multiethnic group of kids. The ahead-of-its-time idea was revisited in the mid 80s, but would anybody watch it? And what happens when nobody watches it? On this episode, we break down the strange case of “Together We Stand”…. Or “Nothing is Easy”.
Then, in honor of Susan St. James' 77th birthday back in August, Greg and Chico looked at this 2004 straight-to-DVD movie about a down on his luck clutz who teams up with a sea captain to find a sunken treasure. Also, Lou Rawls and Richard Moll are trying to stop them for some reason. We're also pretty sure that The Dove Foundation which "approved" this movie didn't actually watch this.

On the 36th edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Mirandia Berthold, Steve Riddle, and Andy Atherton brave the jungles of Peru to discuss the 40th Disney Animated Feature, the Emperor's New Groove. Join the trio as they discuss the troubled production of the film, the perfect casting of the characters, whether we should sympathize with Kuzco despite his actions, Pacha being the most trusting person in history, the effectiveness of Yzma as a villain, Kronk being the lovable dimwit henchman, the quick pacing of the film, if Kuzco was worthy of a redemption story, and if the film deserves its status as an underrated cult classic. So join Mirandia, Steve, and Andy as they try not to pull the wrong lever and continue their trek through the Disney Animated Canon.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we honor a legendary actor for the first time on this podcast by giving him a special series of episodes!
First, like Schuckapalooza last year, we're devoting a number of episodes to an actor, this time Dabney Coleman. First up is a show which didn't get many viewers, despite praise from critics. It's a show that, after cancellation, Brandon Tartikoff said was one of his biggest regrets. Coleman plays the prickly title character in the 80s classic Buffalo Bill.
Then, Dabney Colemania continues with another series fronted by Dabney. Unlike Buffalo Bill where he played an irritable, cantankerous TV host, Dabney played an irritable, cantankerous sportswriter. Like Buffalo Bill, The "Slap" Maxwell Story was a critical favorite. Also like Buffalo Bill, the ratings were not good.
Finally, we conclude our trifecta of Dabney Coleman shows by looking back at a show which was a complete contrast to the last two entries, where Coleman played an irritable, cantankerous TV host and an irritable, cantankerous sportswriter. This time, Coleman portrays an irritable, cantankerous 5th grade teacher.
