It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 374, 375 & 376 - Sailor Moon (’94 US Pilot)/Red Dwarf (’92 NBC Pilot)/Stacked (’08 UK Pilot)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we continue Pilot Month 2023 by looking at two ill-fated US adaptations of popular shows and then go overseas to watch something that should not been seen by human eyes.
 
First, in the last year, one of the most sought after pieces of lost media was discovered.  FOX passed on a US version of Sailor Moon in 1994, and all that existed was a brief video from 1995.
 
Next, here's another case of a show working overseas but failing domestically.  The Brit show Red Dwarf has been on the air for a combined quarter century.  Could it have worked here?  Who knows, thanks NBC smegheads.
 
Finally, a pre-Doctor Who/Guardians of the Galaxy Karen Gillan appeared in this British pilot, which apparently was the best thing at a certain network's disposal.  This was so wrong on so many levels, so much so that we're asking for listener discretion.  It did give us 4000-pound breasts.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 372 & 373 - Whiz Kids/Pointless (2017 GSN pilot)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we hack some computers right before we start Pilot Month 2023.
First, in the early 1980s, one of the most popular pieces of electronics was the home computer.  (Spoiler:  It's still popular to this day!)  In the era of the movies Tron and WarGames came the show Whiz Kids, which may have hit a little too close to home for adults.
Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for! Pilot Month 2023 starts now!  Over the next month or so, we will cover 11 pilots.  The first pilot is an American adaptation of a popular British game show.  Alison Sweeney and a judge from 25 Words or Less take their shot at Pointless.

Traders Of The Lost Arcs #5 - Power Pack Vol.1 #1-#5

The Traders continue mining Marvel's '80s output on this 5th excursion! What we unearth is not so much a hidden gem as an overlooked curiosity: the pre-teen super-team known as Power Pack! This original and largely self-contained series made in-roads with younger readers even while exploring darker themes and prominent social issues of the day, and ultimately served as a gateway to the wider Marvel Universe through its participation in the decade's biggest crossover events. In this examination of the first five issues, topics include: the background of the concept along with creators Louise Simonson and June Brigman; an introduction to the central characters; new additions to Marvel's interstellar alien races; talking space ships; an origin story rather similar to that of another iconic character; weird powers; anti-mutant hysteria; horse grandpas; later appearances of the Power family, and attempted revivals; a dreadful 1991 TV pilot; and plenty more. As for our review of the story itself, well... let's just say this has proven to be our most DIVISIVE outing yet! Covering Power Pack (vol. 1) #1-5.
