It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 489 & 490 - Platypus Man/The Video Game Show Volume 4
Manage episode 435774461 series 2363919
This week on It Was a Thing on TV
First, it's the mid-90s and two startup networks are looking for programming. A flavor of the month at the time was giving stand-up comics their own shows, see Seinfeld, Life with Louie, and Roseanne, and later The Drew Carey Show and Everybody Loves Raymond. The new network was UPN and the comic was Richard Jeni, who took a concept from his stand-up show and loosely molded it into a Seinfeld-like TV show.
Then, after the last video game show (episode 201), we said it would be our last look at video games based on TV shows. We lied! We found nine more games worthy of covering for what we believe will truly be the final video game show we cover. This time, we found some truly bad games from a variety of genres, from dramedy to animation to action shows.
