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.

In the forty-first episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston to discuss which Underrated Songs deserve a place on their respective lists. Is “What It Takes” by Aerosmith a no-brainer? What about “Wheel In The Sky” by Journey? Does “Romeo and Juliet” by Dire Straits grab a spot? Does “Never Say Goodbye” by Bon Jovi or “I Don’t Care Anymore” by Phil Collins deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Overrated Shows will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that “Fly Away” by Lenny Kravitz shouldn’t get a spot? Will “Stairway To Heaven” by Led Zeppelin be included? Is “Paradise City” by Guns’n’Roses in the conversation? What about “Imagine” by John Lennon & “What I Got” by Sublime?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we discovered that some originals should not be messed with.
First, hey hey, everybody is familiar with The Monkees, who have entertained people since the late 60s. They had a resurgence in popularity in the mid-to-late 80s, which gave someone the idea to create a new version of the band. The powers that be tried to make fetch happen, but the new version fizzled after 13 episodes.
Then, That 70s Show was getting good ratings, so it was inevitable a spin-off would happen. But that show was less of a spin-off and more of its own separate unrelated entity. That 80s Show was gone as quickly as it arrived. Bummer, dude!

After the highs of Star Trek IV, Harve Bennett turned to another member of the Star Trek cast to try his hand at the directing chair. Surely with Captain Kirk at the helm, Star Trek V would reach even higher profits at the box office right?
Yeah, about that .......... Greg and Chico try to take a look at went wrong and try to answer what does God need with a starship?
