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

By: Mike Klauss Chico Alexander and Greg Diener
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • Episode 478--That Puppet Game Show
    Jun 13 2024

    The Brits seem to try just about anything when it comes to game shows. Case in point, this entry from just over a decade ago, a primetime endeavor which combined game show elements with Henson Alternative puppets. The end result was That Puppet Game Show, which ran for only 8 episodes. Even though it aired overseas, listeners on the other side of "the pond" can watch it on a semi-frequent basis.

  • Episode 477--The Girl with Something Extra
    Jun 6 2024

    In the past, we have talked about the ESP fad in the 60s through the early 80s. A 1973 comedy used the sixth sense as a premise, one that was used less as time went on, turning the show into just another TV show. Despite two great leads, The Girl with Something Extra was not a show with anything out of the ordinary.
