This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re Shaqtin’ a fool while going places at the top of the heap.
First, there’s an old saying in Hollywood: “Write what you know.” Two Hollywood writers did that & after that didn’t work, they turned it into a family sitcom. That didn’t work either. See what happens when four actors spend 19 weeks… “Going Places”.
Next, spin off your network's most popular show? Makes sense. Spin off your network's most popular show with characters who have made only a few appearances, and they weren't memorable? It's a disaster waiting to happen. Top of the Heap was the bottom of the barrel material.
Finally, In the past, we have paid respects to Hulk Hogan commercials, Ric Flair commercials, and our annual favorite of hometown commercials. We add another legend to the commercial family with Shaq commercials. Grab your Reeboks and a Pepsi, and prepare for almost 30 years of ads featuring Shaq Diesel.

On the 33rd edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Mirandia Berthold, Andy Atherton, and Steve Riddle answer the call of the wild as they discuss the 1999 film, Tarzan. Join the trio as they discuss the importance of Phil Collins to the soundtrack, the motherly love that Kala shows to Tarzan, Tarzan struggling to discover who he really is, Sabor as a scary villain, Disney conspiracy theories, if Jane is a Disney Princess or not, the suave and dubious nature of Clayton, Terk and Tantor as great companions to Tarzan, the quirkiness of Professor Porter, the amazing cinematography of the jungle, Tarzan wanting to impress Kerchak, the intense climax of the film, how this compares to other adaptations of Tarzan, and where it ranks amongst the other Disney films. So join Mirandia, Andy, and Steve as they swing from the vines and surf the branches while bringing an end to the Disney Renaissance.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we solve crimes with our three ex-wives before we present you with an afterschool special.
First, We've talked about this for over 3 years. Now we're finally talking about the extremely short-lived summer series about a detective and three of his ex-wives solving cases. I Had Three Wives ran for a month before it and CBS went their separate ways.
Then, April 15th marked 76 years since Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. We mark the occasion by watching an afterschool special from 1978 about the bond a young boy makes with an older man over their shared love of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson.

In the forty-second episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston, Scott Grimes & “Cowboy” Roger Morrissette to discuss which NFL #1 Overall Draft Picks deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Peyton Manning (1998) a no-brainer? What about John Elway (1983)? Does Terry Bradshaw (1970) grab a spot? Does Bruce Smith (1985) or Bo Jackson (1986) deserve a place? After that, they discuss which NFL #1 Overall Draft Pick Busts will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Ryan Leaf (1998) shouldn’t get a spot? Will JaMarcus Russell (2007) be included? Is Brian Bosworth (1987) in the conversation? What about Tony Mandarich (1989) & Reggie Bush (2006)?

Take a trip back to January as Greg and Chico watch the 49ers and Cowboys rekindle their historic rivalry with a trip to the NFC Championship Game on the line.
If you listened to the live show we did last year involving these two teams this had another ending that had us all going like WTF? #hilarityensues
