It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 363 & 364 - NES and Super NES Commercials/The Bad News Bears

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we celebrate the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the start of MLB season.

 

First, in honor of the upcoming release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie in theaters next week, we present this episode dedicated to commercials to our favorite 8-bit and 16-bit systems.

 

Then, the start of a new baseball season has arrived and we celebrate by looking back at the TV version of a movie from 3 years prior, about a rag-tag group of underdogs.  The toughest competition for The Bad News Bears didn't come from opponents on the field, but from its competition on other networks.
