It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 360 & 361 - Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos and Videos After Dark/Small Fortune (US

This week on It Was a Thing on TV it’s our third annual Lost in Translation week.
First, the concept of home videos shows originated in Japan in the late 1980s and branched out all around the world.  In 1992 in Australia, a show aired which used footage deemed too racy or of questionable taste, titled Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos.  It didn't make it through one airing.  Fast forward to 2019, where a similar version was tried in America, titled Videos After Dark.  At least that ran for the full airing.
Due to language and questionable content, listener discretion is advised.
Then, we continue with Lost in Translation week with a small show whose promotion was equally small and, not surprisingly, whose audiences and ratings were just as small.  Small Fortune didn't last long in the UK, yet it was still imported to the States where its run was equally short.

It Was a Thing on TV - Episodes 357, 358 & 359 - Two of a Kind/Uncle Croc’s Block/A Very Special Episode of Dinosaurs

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we teach you many life lessons in this very special compilation.
First, three years after the end of Full House and nearing the end of the original TGIF lineup, ABC brought back The Olsen Twins as tweens in this one-season vehicle, whose legacy lasted well beyond its one year.
Then, did you ever notice some people have some shows essentially omitted from their resumes?  We had never heard about Charles Nelson Reilly on Uncle Croc's Block until Mike went down a rabbit hole one night.  And after seeing this and its associated cartoons, you can't blame CNR from forgetting this misstep.
Finally, we watch a very special episode that we have referred to on and off throughout the podcast.  Find out why drugs are bad when Robbie gets hooked on thornoids on Dinosaurs. Remember you can't say steroids Friday nights on ABC in 1993.
