This week on It Was a Thing on TV

First, years ago, we did our first installment on TV-themed trading cards, focusing mainly on cards from the past. With the resurgence in the popularity of trading cards, we decided to do a second volume, focusing on trading cards, specifically those over the last decade. Some of the biggest franchises offer cards, so you can own a piece of those shows or an autograph of one of the stars.

Then, recently on our Facebook page we had our annual Viewers Choice poll, and this is the show that came out on top. We have another spinoff show from a popular parent show. Also, we have another spinoff show that got amazing ratings in its premiere season, which fell off in the second and final season. In early 1980, audiences were flocking to see Flo. By 1981, audiences were telling it to kiss their grits.
