It Was a Thing on TV: An Anthology on Forgotten Television

De: Mike Klauss Greg Diener and Chico Alexander
  • Resumen

  • Partially an oral history of obscure TV shows, partially an oral version of MST3K, and partially a thorough episode guide, It Was a Thing on TV is an anthology podcast about obscure, forgotten, and odd TV shows, commercials, televised events, and almost anyone and anything else that was on television. For the most part, the subjects we cover are from the United States and Canada. We’re just three guys with a love for television. New episodes are generally every Monday and Thursday, sometimes more often.

    Greg and Dane, in Episode 5 of The Squared Circle Time Machine, do a deep psychological dive into their favorite maniac, Mr. Bob Backlund, who has never eaten Mary Jane!

    They go back to 1982 when Superstar Billy Graham destroyed his WWF championship belt to his loss to Sheiky Baby in '83 to him holding a cardboard championship belt to cope with his loss and finally to the events after he snapped when he lost to Bret Hart in 1994.

    Enjoy as we explore The Twisted Mind of Mr. Bob Backlund!

  • Episode 546--All American Ultra Quiz
    Mar 13 2025

    Our second and last entry into our annual foray into shows that were lost in translation takes us to this Japanese import, where a show that started with almost 1000 competitors whittled the competition until one person survived, all while traveling around the world. Sounds sort of like contemporary shows Beast Games or Squid Game? Nope. Over 4 decades ago, Ultra Quiz was the biggest game in Japan. Naturally, an American version followed. After one attempt and two shows, the extravagant American version was grounded.

  • Episode 545--Amanda's (by the Sea)
    Mar 10 2025

    It's Lost in Translation time on the podcast! To start, we look at the second attempt to Americanize the classic British comedy Fawlty Towers, but with Bea Arthur as the lead. It followed a stinker of a show. (Condo, see episode 79.) However, it also was up against one of the most popular series of the 1980s. Despite being evicted after 13 episodes, that number is still more than the number of episodes of Fawlty Towers.
