Making Mt. Rushmore #53 - Baseball Movies / Football Movies

In the fifty-third episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Steve Bennett, James Gruenberg, and Andy Atherton (with a special appearance by Steve's daughter Paula) to discuss which Baseball Films deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Major League a no-brainer? What about A League of Their Own? Does The Bad News Bears (1976) grab a spot? Does Bull Durham or Angels in the Outfield deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which Football Films will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that The Waterboy shouldn’t get a spot? Will Remember the Titans be included? Is Little Giants in the conversation? What about The Blind Side or Varsity Blues?

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 505 & 506 - Beverly Hills Buntz/Blackout

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, NBC tried spinning off one of its most successful shows from the 80s, the drama Hill Street Blues, into a comedy/drama Beverly Hills Buntz.  The first episode brought great ratings, but that was thanks to a cushy time slot.  Naturally, the audience didn't carry over after moving to a not-so-cushy time slot and the show ended with 4 episodes still in the can.
 
Then, daytime games in the 80s were a strength of NBC.  CBS had a stable roster of shows, though the block was only two hours compared to three at NBC.  For some reason, CBS canceled the venerable $25,000 Pyramid for this show.  This show did not live up to expectations, so much so that its replacement was the same show it replaced.

NBA-Team: Relegation

It's hard to believe that our 11th season previews are slowly coming to an end, and what a better way to wrap it up with teams who appear who have thrown in the towel already...i'm sorry, "focusing on development." If this were european soccer, these teams would be up for relegation down to the G League, but here, nope, they are just relegated to League Pass. Teams covered this episode are BKN 3:00, CHA 9:50, DET 15:10, POR 20:55, TOR 26:00, WAS 31:55, UTA 37:50. Enjoy!

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 503 & 504 - Partridge Family 2200 A.D./The Ropers Revisited

First, numerous successful scripted television shows made their way to Saturday mornings in the mid-70s, like I Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan's Island, and Star Trek.  The Partridge Family got the same treatment in 1974, but with a catch--it's set over 200 years in the future.  Also, some key components in the Partridge Family universe were missing.  If you see the show image, it looks awfully similar to a venerable Hanna-Barbera series, and for good reason.
 
Then, it's time for another Revisited episode.  This time, we're looking at a show that, in recent months, has appeared on-demand and airs with regularity on a FAST channel.  We're checking in again with The Ropers and questioning whether it truly is one of the 50 worst shows in TV history.  You be the judge, but we think it does not deserve that moniker.
