Episode 13 - Blackout Thursday on NBC!

They don't do epic theme crossover television nights like they used to! That's the overriding conclusion of this thirteenth murky episode of It Happened One Year, delving into NBC's wild New York City based crossover of November 3rd, 1994! Sarah & Joe get into the night's programming scheme and the general history of Mad About You, Friends, Seinfeld, and Dabney Coleman's short lived Madman of the People! The discussion ranges from evaluating these shows at this point in their respective runs, why Seinfeld didn't participate in the blackout theme (and their proposal if the network insisted), tossing around theories as to when these programs hit their peaks, and debating the merits of television crossovers in general. Was it Must See TV at its finest, or too gimmicky to even warrant further attention? Bring a flashlight - it's IHOY: NBC's Blackout Thursday!
