How many times have we talked about trying to capitalize off of the flavor of the month? It happened in 1982, when networks scrambled to find their Indiana Jones. CBS went with this entry, about Frank Buck. www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-64...

CHiPs combined disco with roller skating, mixed in over four dozen celebrities, and threw in three subplots to create a 2-part season three premiere episode. It was yet another costly venture for NBC in 1979, but did it pay off in ratings points? www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-64...

1990 was the year of the failed movie-to-TV transition, between Ferris Bueller, Baby Talk, and this week's entry. At least girls got to see young Leonardo DiCaprio before he went on a ship and died seven years later. (Sorry for the 30-year-old spoilers.) www.itwasathingontv.com/e/episode-64...
