This week on It Was a Thing on TV we kiss the baby while reminding everyone that Zack Morris is trash.
First, with the start of NFL Season, we mark the occasion with a look at a short-lived reality/discussion show starring the two biggest diva football players of the early 2010s. Also, Mike tries taking their Twitter handle and...hilarity ensues.
Next, we revisit school briefly for this episode. Before Saved by the Bell, some of its characters were in a short-lived Disney Channel show set in a middle school in Indianapolis. Good Morning, Miss Bliss was a precursor to the popular series from the 80s and 90s. One thing remained the same: Zack Morris is trash.
Finally, 35 years ago, a series blended gritty stories, wartime allegories, and cutting edge special effects. If it wasn’t the violence that people were against, it was the toy tie-ins. A show that was ahead of its time could not have come at a worse time. Prepare for the Metal Wars as we talk about Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we head back to school while taking a field trip to the Starship Enterprise.
First, we start this week talking about why some movies should not make the transition to TV shows. Ferris Bueller had very little in common with the movie, and the title character makes that known in the first 2 minutes of the pilot. But it did have Jennifer Aniston.
Next, we focus not on a TV show about the students, but rather the educators themselves. Teachers Only had a short first season, but underwent a major overhaul of the cast (and even a new theme) for a slightly longer second season.
Finally, September 8th was Star Trek Day and we're talking about what is considered a continuation of the original series, done four years after the original's cancellation. Is this true Star Trek canon? Judge for yourself as we dive into Star Trek: The Animated Series.
