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.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re giving you the leftover from our 2022 Thanksgiving as we bring you this year’s editions for Turkey Day!
First, It's an It Was a Thing annual tradition! For the 4th straight year, we're celebrating Thanksgiving by watching balloons down Broadway, Pat Sajak & Stepfanie Kramer calling the action from Herald Square, and guests including Phyllis Diller and the Lawrence Brothers.
Superman! What happened to you this year?
Then, for our second Thanksgiving episode this year, we watch this NBC special hosted by comedian Alan King from 1980. Alan along with Dick Van Patten, McLean Stevenson and Angie Dickinson try to help us answer the question that's on our minds this season "what have we got to be thankful for?"
