Welcome to PTBN Pop’s Video Jukebox Song of The Day! Every weekday will be featuring a live watch of a great and memorable music video. This week we’re all about trios so each song will be by a group or band that only has three members. On today’s episode, Andy Atherton is watching, “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” from 1980.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we continue with Pilot Month 2024.
 
First, 1982 was a time of flux at NBC in the daytime.  Game shows were out earlier that year minus Wheel of Fortune, replaced with soaps and sitcom reruns.  NBC had a pilot that was part-game, part-psychological analysis with Let's Get Personal, hosted by a familiar face to NBC game show watchers, but also with an acting troupe of three big names around these parts.  
 
Then, as we have said in the past, Jay Wolpert is the master of the overly complex but unique game show format.  In this show, two people build a team of players with the end goal of winning that captain $10,000 and making some fast friends.  Apparently NBC passed this up for a show that John Davidson predicted would be on for a very long time.
