#OnThisDay in TV history 🚀
Sept 8, 1966 – 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙠 debuts on NBC with “The Man Trap.”
Sept 8, 1973 – 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙠 beams onto NBC Saturday mornings in animated form.
Two debuts, one universe. Which Trek did you discover first?

NBC hits 1980 running with a slight revamp of its “Proud as a Peacock” campaign:
🎶“𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱! 𝗨𝗵-𝗵𝘂𝗵! 𝗦𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻!” 🎶
The jingle was catchy… the ratings, not so much. It wasn't all Silverman's fault...there was an actors' strike that year. 📉
#ForgottenTV #NBC #1980sTV
🎪 #OnThisDay in 1976, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙃𝙤𝙬𝙙𝙮 𝘿𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙬 returned in color, with Buffalo Bob, Clarabell & the Peanut Gallery. 130 syndicated eps were made—but the magic of the original didn’t quite carry over.

📺 Debuting #OnThisDay in 1983: 𝙏𝙬𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨 (ABC). Lorimar swapped 𝘋𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘴 drama for small-town Iowa, with neighbors juggling 'traditional' vs 'modern' family life. Short run, but a very different kind of 80s 'clean' soap. #80sTV #RetroBlast #ForgottenTV
📺 In 1985, CBS aired Hometown—a dramedy inspired by 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙡, with cast led by Jane Kaczmarek. 9 eps and done, it’s a classic case of forgotten 80s TV nostalgia. 🎶✨

Debuting #OnThisDay in 70s/80s TV:
•𝙄𝙫𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚. 𝘾𝘽𝙎, 1976. Cold War parody sitcom set in Moscow. International politics nixed the show after 5 eps, but it gave us the acting debut of Nana Visitor! 🚀✨

I genuinely believe that if Lost Girl has been released today it'd be a massive hit. Total forgotten media.

Have you ever been the subject of a science experiment? Did that happen live during a class in high school? If so, you have something in common with Napoleon Dynamite, and I am also so sorry for you.

It may seem like Interdimensional Cable, but Napoleon Dynamite the animated TV show was a real television show in the mid 2000’s. And boy was it a TV show. We even made a whole season of a podcast out of it!

When it’s your time to go, how do you want it to be? I think Uncle Rico’s method of being carried away in his precious full-size van is a pretty sweet option if you ask me. #NapoleonDynamite #forgottenTV #podcast #TVclips #funeral
