It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 351 & 352 - That’s My Mama!/The Royal Family

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we look back at two African-American sitcoms.
First, we start with a short-lived classic from 1974. Clifton Davis was a free-spirited bachelor barber. He had friends and family who loved him, including Theresa Merritt, known for having an opinion on anything and everything. What else could he say except… “That’s My Mama!”
Then, it was CBS' new hotness in 1991, one of the best new shows on television.  Then tragedy happened and retooling had to occur.  There are some "what ifs" regarding The Royal Family, specifically around its star.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 349 & 350 + Minisode 25 - Finder of Lost Loves/The Slap (US)/The Golden Dollar Commercials from 2000

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we look to find lost loves but not before we got slapped by Mr. Spock.
 
First, with Valentine’s Day having just passed we're talking about a real-life finder of lost loves, who became the main character in this drama from 1984-5.  The series is loaded with guest stars, which is unsurprising since this was an Aaron Spelling production.
 
Next, we've reached another milestone, with the release of episode 350!  The Slap isn't known for much more than the titular slap, delivered by Spock?! What the hell Zachary Quinto?
 
Finally, in honor of Presidents' Day we at It Was a Thing on TV present another example of someone trying to make fetch happen.
When the US Treasury Department launched the new golden dollar coin in the year 2000, they commissioned the father of our country to help promote the new coin along with getting Batman himself Michael Keaton to voice him.
