Pilot Month 2026 ends with a television adaptation of one of the big comedic movies from the prior year, but there was no involvement from the key figure which made the movie a hit. Unfortunately, Tommy Davidson is no Eddie Murphy. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-62...

Sending us down the home stretch is an animated version of a beloved sitcom from the mid-60s, but with older characters & two cousins introduced to canon. Some shows should left untouched, so efforts like this cannot sully the legacy of the original show. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-62...

“CROCKAH!”

This is one of the first national endeavors done by a weatherman at KNBC. If you're a fan of a variety of games, this is the show for you. Despite glitches, one can see a glimpse of what would become a very fruitful career from this weatherman-turned-host. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-62...

“GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSS!”

ICYMI: In honor of WrestleMania 42 having just ended, Greg and Dane for Episode 50 of the SCTM look at WrestleMania 30 years ago with WrestleMania XII from Anaheim at the Pond. tinyurl.com/25tudnfj

A beloved show to people of a certain age is Whew! The format was brought back in pilot form, with elements of an immensely popular board game of the era. With a combination of knowledge, luck, and guts, someone could win the Pie in the Sky. itwasathingontv.podbean.com/e/episode-62...

When Rhea Ripley got tired of Dom’s shit

Greg and Dane head to St. Louis for TNA Lockdown 2010 as Team Hogan takes on Team Flair in Lethal Lockdown. itwasathingontv.podbean.com/e/the-square...

It's not The Odd Couple, but the minds behind Married...with Children created this pilot which had an odd couple--an outgoing saleswoman and a top-tier model who has everything but a friend. Was this the beginning of a beautiful friendship? www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-62...

It’s time to answer a question posed for some time--What's a Snavely? It's the first attempt to bring Fawlty Towers to this side of the Atlantic, a hotel, the surname of the owners, it's the 7th installment for PM26 and the 623rd episode of this podcast. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-62...

Greg and Dane continue their look into 2010 TNA with this episode of Impact during the middle of the Monday Night War with WWE with the 4-5-10 episode of Impact. itwasathingontv.podbean.com/e/the-square...

Covered on the podcast back in Episode 91. - www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-91...

It's 1993. Video games already have cartoons of Super Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man in the following year. What other characters have the popularity to drive a cartoon? Bubsy?! A pilot aired around Thanksgiving 1993. What could possibly go wrong?! www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-62...

Greg and Dane return to Georgia Championship Wrestling on this edition of the SCTM as they watch an Omni House Show from August of 1983 via the WWE Vault channel on YouTube. itwasathingontv.podbean.com/e/the-square...

We venture into the absurd with this pilot, where one character gets his abilities due to solar radiation, while his partner is half motorcycle and half human. ABC passed on it, and FOX had to decide between this and a classic as a midseason replacement. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-62...

What's up next for PM26? It. What is It? It is the linking word in a Before and After puzzle. It had an amazing set, but It was also a mess. It was a work in progress. All this use of 'it' is giving me a headache, just like when I first saw It. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-62...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOU LET ME SEE THE CREDITS FOR THIS EPISODE, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU

For sure watched it all the time before Monday Night RAW on USA.

In honor of "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" being released in theaters & "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" coming to MeTV Toons, we decided to release this "Best of" from 2021. Just be sure to keep Hot Rod's bagpipes away from Mario and Luigi. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/the-best-o...

Two pilots of the beloved series from the early 70s through the early 80s were done with the question format from the original series. The first can easily be found. A warning about the second pilot: There is at least one answer which doesn't fly in 2026. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-61...

Mike Francesa met him.

It's time for the annual tradition as we watch a game from Week 1. Greg and Mike in this episode go over some of the changes in the UFL with the new coaches, players and teams. We also go over why does the UFL have a betting expert on these games? www.itwasathingontv.com/e/live-show-...

Tazz & Michael Cole enjoy a sound check before getting ready to hype UPN's Chains Of Love, 04/05/01 Smackdown

In a segment so epic, we had to shine a spotlight on it’s very own episode, Greg and Dane conclude their look at WCW Uncensored 1996 with the Doomsday Cage Match! itwasathingontv.podbean.com/e/the-square...

#FFAA #SaturdayMorningMemories #CartoonTime

Happy Coolio Day to all who celebrate!

PM26 rolls on with this Jim Henson entry, which aired during the 1987 installment of CBS Summer Playhouse. Like at least one other pilot we previously covered, this dealt with the happenings at a children's TV show, as well as the personal lives off-camera. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-61...

But in a year and a half we’ll get “CROCKAH! CROCKAH!”

Note: Gruv dot com has a bunch of DVD’s and Blu-ray sets on sale for NBC’s 100th right now. gruv.com/collections/... The complete series of The Office on DVD for $32.99 is a steal.

I'll just drop this here one more time. John Goodman's "Dan Conner" was the best that we can all aspire to be.

Last year on the SCTM, Greg and Dane covered WCW Uncensored 1995; now, a year later, they watch the 1996 edition. Part 2, covering the Doomsday Cage Match will come out sometime within the next seven days. itwasathingontv.podbean.com/e/the-square...

We begin Pilot Month 2026 with yet another spinoff of M*A*S*H, but this one didn't make it. Was it due to going to the well once too often, or was it possibly due to a good percentage of the country not seeing it due to politics? www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-61...

This guy's girlfriend fondling Scott Steiner right in front of him. Tough scenes. #SpringStampede #wcw99

In the second birthday this week, we celebrate what would have been Kevin Dobson's 83rd Birthday by looking at this short-lived 1981 CBS cop show. Dobson plays a widowed single father who moves from NYC to San Francisco. The ratings for this wouldn't be good… www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-61...

“UH-OH!”

Team #FFAA salutes the life and career of the late, great actor Peter Graves, BOTD 100 YEARS AGO!

One of my favourite #DoctorWho unsung prop reuses is white set of buttons on President's desk in Frontier in Space which somehow Daleks have to use in Planet of the Daleks. Meanwhile 'The Prisoner' style phones are in The Moonbase, Enemy of World & Planet of the Daleks @doctorwhoprophunt.bsky.social

Greg and Dane take a trip to Jim Cornette’s Smoky Mountain Wrestling on the SCTM. They look at the April 30th, 1994 episode of SMW. itwasathingontv.podbean.com/e/the-square...
