It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 491 & 492 - Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher/Roomies

This week on It Was a Thing on TV, we go back to school.

 

First, it's time to go back to school for the next three installments!  We start with someone who is teaching until he gets his big break in acting, hooking up with seemingly every single lady along the way.  Nick Freno: Licensed Teacherbrought some realities teenagers went through (and still go through) at the time, in addition to being a light-hearted comedy.

 

Then, before Brian Griffin created a series about two oddball roommates on an episode of Family Guy, that premise was used in a short-lived NBC series which paired up a 14-year-old with an ex-Marine in his 40s in a college dorm.  Ratings were amazing for the premiere episode, but the show still lasted only 8 shows.  Find out why in this installment.
