This week on It Was a Thing on TV
First, in this installment, we look at another show which was rated as one of the worst shows of all-time. Was Me and the Chimp justifiably the 46th worst show ever? Maybe if audiences went bananas over the ridiculous plot, we wouldn’t be talking about this show almost 53 years later.
Then, over the years, we have talked about revivals and sequels, which are almost never as successful or popular as the original. This is another case of that. Update a beloved franchise without any of its original cast and give that show an undesirable time slot, and it is bound to fail quickly. After less than a dozen episodes, this update of Kojak enjoyed its last lollipop, quickly going to dustbin of bad TV updates.
