This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re going mental!
First, in Episode 457, Black History Month 2024 concludes with a comedy starring a comedic legend, trying to capitalize on the success of a similar show on another network. Despite pulling the stops to make it popular including adding a familiar face later in its sole season, Charlie & Company is just a footnote in history.
Then in Episode 458, Mike’s birthday is this weekend and he played his Money in the Bank on this short-lived cartoon that, while absolutely hilarious, aired at the wrong time slot and/or aired either a few years early or a few years late. Celebrate Mike’s birthday by getting completely mental with Ed Grimley and those in his universe.
