This week on It Was a Thing on TV we take the good and we take the bad from what we got at the slot machine.
First, The Facts of Life is one of NBC's big hits from the 1980s and a true sitcom classic. But there was a time where not only was it unbelievably different, it was in danger of being canceled after the first four episodes! Join the guys as they talk about the first season and how & why half of the cast were forced out of Eastland Academy.
Then, traditional daytime TV shows were on the decline in the early 1990s, in an era ushered by Maury Povich, Jerry Springer, and Jenny Jones. The Joker's Wild in 1990 tried to rejuvenate a show which showed its age in the mid-80s, in an era where it was handily beaten by Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! The core of the game drastically changed but kind of reverted to its original format, but it was too late.
Finally, we present the second of our two live shows that we did back in October as Greg and Chico look at the MCU special presentation of Werewolf by Night on Disney+.

In the thirty-eighth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston, James Gruenberg, Chico Alexander, Rob Kinler & Andy Atherton to discuss which Non-Disney & Pixar Animated Films deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Shrek a no-brainer? What about The Simpsons Movie? Does The Secret of NIMH grab a spot? Does An American Tail or Despicable Me deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Live-Action & Animated Hybrid Films will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Who Framed Roger Rabbit? shouldn’t get a spot? Will Space Jam be included? Is Cool World in the conversation? What about The LEGO Movie & The Incredible Mr. Limpet?
