This week on It Was a Thing on TV we talk about Stephen J. Cannell and The Cube!
First, J.J. Starbuck fit a formula one prolific producer had used repeatedly and successfully. It got good ratings, despite being moved multiple times, though the ratings weren't good enough for the most popular broadcast network at the time. It also got beaten three separate times by a person who has problems with cheese.
Then, we present a live show that we recorded back in May here on PTBN Pop as Mike, Greg, and Chico watch the Season 2 Premiere of The Cube on TBS
