In the thirty-eighth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston, James Gruenberg, Chico Alexander, Rob Kinler & Andy Atherton to discuss which Non-Disney & Pixar Animated Films deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Shrek a no-brainer? What about The Simpsons Movie? Does The Secret of NIMH grab a spot? Does An American Tail or Despicable Me deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Live-Action & Animated Hybrid Films will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Who Framed Roger Rabbit? shouldn’t get a spot? Will Space Jam be included? Is Cool World in the conversation? What about The LEGO Movie & The Incredible Mr. Limpet?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’ve got a secret that’s beyond belief. We plan to be here for a very long time.
First, Reg Grundy was on a hot streak in the mid-1980s with Sale of the Century and Scrabble. (See what we did there?) NBC took a chance on a third Grundy show, which was a blatant ripoff of The Price is Right with history. After 16 weeks, 2 different formats, and 3 versions of the final round, this show, like its subject matter, became history. But we did get John Davidson's first game show hosting gig.
Then, it's 1985 and ABC wants to capitalize on Cagney & Lacey and Hill Street Blues, which were big hits on other networks...but let's make them married! MacGruder and Loud premiered after "The Big Game" in 1985, but barely made it to Spring 1985.
Finally, released back in Halloween, we make our third journey to the world of Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. Is one man actually being haunted by a meddling trick or treater who's pretending to be the grim reaper on Halloween night? Can a mysterious drifter help Roy from The Office find love with his wife? Is it possible that two people who are about to be married can turn out to be seperated at birth? These mysteries will be answered as we once again go Beyond Belief!
