This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re passing the Hot Potato while stopping at the Emergency Room.
First, Hot Potato was a Family Feud ripoff, but with better technology and the dean of hosts. Unfortunately, this potato's shelf life was very short, becoming a celebrity show in 13 weeks, with outright cancellation a few months later.
Then, not to be confused with its slashless namesake, E/R had two people in common with the more popular show, including a young George Clooney. The cast was diverse and talented, but this wonder lasted just a season after much early promise. You can't blame George for this one.
