Teams covered are: ATL 2:30, HOU 7:30,  LAC 13:00, CHI 17:20, SAS 25:15. Enjoy!

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 500, 501 & 502 - Supertrain Revisited/Today's FBI/Hometown Commercials, Volume 5

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we hit 500 episodes!
 
First, almost five years ago, we started this podcast.  Now, we are celebrating our 500th episode by going back to an early favorite of ours and revisiting it, mostly for the caliber of guest stars that we didn't recognize back then.  Enjoy as we go back to one of the biggest flops in television history, as we prepare to do the next 500, leading to show 1000.
 
Next, The FBI was a stalwart on ABC's line-up from 1965 through 1974.  The network kicked the tires on a new, updated version of their venerable classic in 1981 with this show, which featured contemporary storylines and a more diverse cast of characters.  Audiences weren't buying what ABC was selling, as this new version lasted merely a season.
 
Finally, we're back with another batch of goofy and bizarre hometown commercials in Volume 5 for Episode 502.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 498 & 499 - Alien Nation/The 30th Anniversary of The Big Switch

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, in 1988, the film Alien Nation was a theatrical release.  That spawned this televised adaptation of that film.  While only running for a single season, the franchise showed it had popularity and staying power, as televised movies and other forms of media appeared after this show's demise.
 
Then, 30 years ago FOX shook up the TV landscape when they grabbed the NFL's NFC television package from CBS. In the process, several CBS stations in NFC markets not wanting to lose out on football jumped ship to FOX and set up a domino effect around the country changing many TV viewers' habits. Some of these changes are still being felt in various markets years later.
