This Week on It Was a Thing on TV we talk Adam West, Skeletor and Christmas.
First, we talk about the 1986 NBC police comedy “The Last Precinct”. It’s another story about a show that premiered after the “Big Game” and died not long after. The show was in the same vein as Police Squad! and Brooklyn Nine-Nine and it came from Stephen J. Cannell. But was America ready for an hour-long police comedy? Obviously not.
Then, ’tis the season for your annual batch of oddball holiday fare! We start this season with a Christmas special from an animated icon of the 1980s, which has very little to do with Christmas. Get ready for He-Man’s take on the holidays with much of the He-Man universe of characters, including sister She-Ra!
