Canceled Too Soon #256 | Nick Knight, a.k.a. Forever Knight (1989) Oct 04, 2024

Three years before FOREVER KNIGHT became a hit TV series about a cop who's also a vampire, NICK KNIGHT was a failed TV series about a cop who's also a vampire!

Rick Springfield stars in the original TV movie, which tells the same story as the pilot for FOREVER KNIGHT except with a bigger budget, better music, and also it's much, much, much less popular.

But could it be that NICK KNIGHT was CANCELED TOO SOON? And could it even have been better than FOREVER KNIGHT...?

Canceled Too Soon #255 | Ace Crawford: Private Eye (1983) Sep 27, 2024

One week after THE DUCK FACTORY joked about all of Tim Conway's failed TV shows, we've got one of Tim Conway's failed TV shows! Conway stars as ACE CRAWFORD: PRIVATE EYE, a private detective who bumbles his way through various crimes, and only occasionally dresses up in offensive disguises!

It's a spoof comedy in the tradition of POLICE SQUAD, but maybe a little too much in that tradition, because it was also canceled after only a few episodes. But was it CANCELED TOO SOON?

If THE DUCK FACTORY had been a hit, Carrey's career might have gone in a very different direction. Could it be that Carrey's biggest early failure was... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Critically Acclaimed #293 | Challengers, Boy Kills World, Infested, Late Night with the Devil May 01, 2024

UPDATE: While discussing the film "Late Night with the Devil" in this episode, Witney Seibold and William Bibbiani had a debate about the film's (brief) use of A.I. art, in which Witney was sympathetic with the filmmakers since they were working on a budget. It has been less-than 12 hours since this episode was recorded and Witney wants everyone to know he's changed his mind, writing "Golly, I was very wrong last night. I regret ever thinking that A.I. had a part of any future that's not bleak and dystopian."

This week, Bibbs and Witney go to court with Luca Guadagnino's CHALLENGERS, act worldly with the action bonanza BOY KILLS WORLD, get festive with the spider thriller INFESTED, and spend their late night with the devil in LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL!

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing every GODZILLA movie ever made, and they're doing it on Fridays!

Hey... did you know Roland Emmerich made a Godzilla movie in America in the 1990s?

The time has come for Bibbs and Witney to relive, and re-litigate, GODZILLA (1998)! How bad can it be!

Before he was world-renowned for children's books like MATILDA, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY and THE WITCHES, Roald Dahl was world-renowned for being really, really creepy. That's why CBS gave him a horrifying television series called 'WAY OUT in 1961!

Star Wars: Episode Zero - The Power of Myth Oct 11, 2020

This week on EPISODE ZERO they delve into Joseph Campbell's astounding career and teachings, focusing on THE POWER OF MYTH, a series of interviews about the impact mythic stories have on society, and vice-versa!

Critically Acclaimed #135 | Olivia de Havilland, John Saxon, The Rental, Radioactive, Yes God Yes, The Deer Hunter Jul 28, 2020

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED may not be discovering new elements, but they sure are analyzing a whole lot of elements in new and classic films!

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing Dave Franco's new slasher THE RENTAL, Marjane Satrapi's biopic about Marie Curie RADIOACTIVE, and Karen Maine's coming of age teen comedy YES, GOD, YES!

But first, they say goodbye to the Hollywood legends we lost this week: Olivia de Havilland, the star of THE HEIRESS and THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, and John Saxon, the star of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and ENTER THE DRAGON.

Also this week on THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED STREAMING CLUB, Bibbs and Witney finally catch up with one of the most controversial war movies of all time, THE DEER HUNTER! It's the film that changed the way Oscar campaigning worked forever, and introduced the world to one of the deadliest and most irresponsible games ever conceived.

Olivia de Havilland - 3:14 John Saxon - 12:28 The Rental - 21:00 Radioactive - 33:33 Yes, God, Yes - 45:09 The Deer Hunter - 53:41

Canceled Too Soon #194 | Spider-Woman (1979-1980) Jul 26, 2020

When Disney Plus launched it came with a gargantuan bevy of animated Marvel superhero shows from across time and space, and a lot of them were potentially CANCELED TOO SOON!

This week, critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold explore the failed 1979-1980 animated television series SPIDER-WOMAN, a superhero with vaguely spider-like powers who (in the show, not so much the comics) runs a magazine and fights monsters and mad scientists and for some reason hangs out almost exclusively with an incompetent and sexist photographer!

Your Critically Acclaimed | A Star is Born (1954) Jul 24, 2020

Our Patrons have the power to sponsor an episode of CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED of their choice, and we're calling it YOUR CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED!

In this episode, film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold have been asked to review A STAR IS BORN, the first (and arguably the second) remake of a classic Hollywood tale about a young rising star who falls in love with an aging mentor, whose alcoholism destroys his career just as her own is taking off.

The 1954 version was directed by George Cukor and stars Judy Garland and James Mason, and it's considered a Hollywood classic, but is it really better than the celebrated Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga version? Let's find out!

Star Wars: Episode Zero - Jurassic Park! Jul 23, 2020

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, using STAR WARS as the starting point!

This week on EPISODE ZERO they sneak into Steven Spielberg's JURASSIC PARK, a blockbuster monster movie about genetically-engineered dinosaurs that run amok at eat people! George Lucas cited JURASSIC PARK as the film whose effects proved that his visions for the future of STAR WARS were possible, and it's also a bona fide classic in its own right.

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED is playing catch-up this week!

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold dig back into the rest of 2020 and review some of the biggest films they missed the first time around: BAD BOYS FOR LIFE, BAD EDUCATION and ONWARD! They also review the new release THE PAINTED BIRD and explore recently unearthed Paul Bartel movie SHELF LIFE, which is being released for the first time EVER after being finished over 25 years ago.

And this week on THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED STREAMING CLUB, Bibbs and Witney try to keep pace with the classic thriller MARATHON MAN!

And most importantly, was this imaginative early sci-fi adventure... CANCELED TOO SOON? William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold strap on their rocket-boosters and explore the history, the influence, the silliness, and sometimes the sleepy boredoms of COMMANDO CODY: SKY MARSHAL OF THE UNIVERSE!

Critically Acclaimed #133 | Ennio Morricone, Kelly Preston, The Old Guard, Palm Springs, Relic, Greyhound, Home Movie: The Princess Bride, Castle Freak Jul 14, 2020

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED is stuck in a time loop! CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED is stuck in a time loop!

This week, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold say goodbye to composer Ennio Morricone and actor Kelly Preston, and review the new sci-fi action-thriller THE OLD GUARD, the time loop comedy PALM SPRINGS, the slow burn horror movie RELIC, the World War II naval adventure GREYHOUND, and the all-star PRINCESS BRIDE remake!

And this week on THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED STREAMING CLUB, Bibbs and Witney release CASTLE FREAK from the catacombs! It's one of the lesser known films from the late, great horror filmmaker Stuart Gordon, and it's extremely loosely based on an H.P. Lovecraft story, and it's VERY cheap and VERY gory!

Star Wars: Episode Zero - The Searchers! Jul 13, 2020

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, using STAR WARS as the starting point!

This week on EPISODE ZERO they take a trek to Monument Valley for John Ford's THE SEARCHERS, starring John Wayne and Jeffrey Hunter as cowboys searching for a lost girl in the American frontier. The film is considered one of the greatest westerns ever made, and it's easy to see why, but its legacy is conflicted and complicated, even though its influence on STAR WARS is clear.

Christian Slater gets his own television series... and so does Christian Slater! MY OWN WORST ENEMY is all about a secret super spy who has a microchip in his brain that activates an alter ego with no memory of saving the world, who has his own completely separate life in suburbia! But when the chip malfunctions and they have to share each other's lives, are either of them up to the task?

MY OWN WORST ENEMY may or may not be the best tv show based on a song by Lit, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold explore this short-lived spy series with a twist in the latest episode, and figure out whether it's a great series about middle-aged power fantasies, or a bad series that gets trapped by its own internal logic.

Critically Acclaimed #132 | Hamilton, Metamorphosis, The Truth, Bugsy Malone Jul 06, 2020

There's a million things that CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED hasn't done, but just you wait! Just you wait!

This week, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold explore the brilliance and understandable criticisms of the hit musical HAMILTON, venture into the gory world of the possession thriller METAMORPHOSIS, and ponder the works of Hirokazu Kore-eda with his new French film THE TRUTH!

And this week on THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED STREAMING CLUB, Bibbs and Witney unearth one of the weirdest musicals ever made! BUGSY MALONE launched the career of Alan Parker and Dexter Fletcher, with a story about Prohibition Era gangsters played entirely by kids! Sure, it's got great music by Paul Williams, but is that premise just too danged weird to work?

Canceled Too Soon #191 | Samurai (1979) Jun 27, 2020

In the late 1970s, when TV shows like WONDER WOMAN and THE INCREDIBLE HULK ruled the airwaves, there were a lot of failed TV series that tried to jump on the vigilante money train. Enter SAMURAI, a failed television pilot about a district attorney who also moonlights as a samurai-themed crimefighter!

It's weird, it's ill-conceived, and they could never get away with it today. But could it be that SAMURAI was... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold travel back to the era of the "Shag Carpet Superhero," when vigilante shows were basically like every other tv series but with one half-assed superhero scene in them at the end!

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, using STAR WARS as the starting point!

This week on EPISODE ZERO they enlist Robert Aldrich's rowdy and violent World War II "men on a mission" classic THE DIRTY DOZEN, a film that helped inspire ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY's updated perspective on intergalactic conflicts, and its comparatively brutal approach to heroic sacrifice!

Star Wars: Episode Zero - The Navigator Jun 20, 2020

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, using STAR WARS as the starting point!

This week on EPISODE ZERO they unearth Buster Keaton's silent comedy classic THE NAVIGATOR, starring the legendary filmmaker as a hapless bourgeois hero who winds up drifting at sea on a giant ship with the woman who doesn't love him! Keaton's unique physicality and distinctive gags were a clear influence on the creation of Jar Jar Binks and his wacky in the climactic battle in STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE, but why are Keaton's comedic characters more well-received than George Lucas's CGI creation?

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, using STAR WARS as the starting point!

This week on EPISODE ZERO they explore Michael Curtiz's Oscar-winning and seemingly timeless classic, CASABLANCA! Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman lead an all-star cast in a romantic adventure set during the rise of fascism, where a notorious cad begins to realize he needs to pick a side in the war. It's not just an influence on Han Solo, but also the production design, background characters and - in RISE OF SKYWALKER - one of the dumbest STAR WARS plot points ever!

Star Wars: Episode Zero - Distant Drums! Jun 07, 2020

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, using STAR WARS as the starting point!

This week on EPISODE ZERO they explore Raoul Walsh's quasi-western DISTANT DRUMS, the film that introduced the Wilhelm Scream! It's one of the most popular and recognizable sound effects in motion picture history, but the film that originated the Wilhelm Scream is disturbingly entrenched in deeply offensive colonialist fiction! And sadly, that's a literary tradition that films like STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES have, directly and indirectly, been inspired by.

And was it... CANCELED TOO SOON?

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold solve that mystery, and ponder the depressing head canon of Scott Speedman, in an all-new episode dedicate to the history of NANCY DREW, and a syndicated series most people never heard of, and which might have been really good? Or, you know, it might not.

Star Wars: Episode Zero - The Flash Gordon Serials! Apr 01, 2020

One of the best ways to learn about film history is to take a popular movie and work backwards, to discover its many influences. And there is perhaps no movie that embodies the fascinations, obsessions and inspirations of its director more than STAR WARS!

Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they examine a film that directly inspired STAR WARS every single week, starting with the original FLASH GORDON serials, which inspired George Lucas so much that he tried to make a FLASH GORDON movie, couldn't get the rights, and had to make STAR WARS instead!

Canceled Too Soon #184 | Star Wars: Droids (1985-1986) Mar 30, 2020

Not every STAR WARS was a blockbuster smash. The Saturday morning cartoon show STAR WARS: DROIDS, starring Anthony Daniels as C-3PO and R2-D2 as himself, only lasted one season, despite featuring huge cameos from popular characters like Boba Fett and IG-88, and tons of ideas, vehicles, planets and even podraces which would eventually turn up in the prequel trilogy!

It was co-created by Oscar-winning sound designer Ben Burtt, and featured a theme song by Stewart Copeland from The Police! That's pretty cool, so maybe - just maybe - STAR WARS: DROIDS was... CANCELED TOO SOON!

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a trip to a galaxy far, far away to unearth this overlooked chapter in STAR WARS history, just before the premiere of their new STAR WARS podcast: EPISODE ZERO!

TEENS! IN! SPACE! The expensive Disney sci-fi mini-series EARTH*STAR VOYAGER was a pilot for a television show that never took off, about attractive and precocious space teens in the future, on a fifty year mission to find a new planet for humanity to live on!

Featuring the stars of REVENGE OF THE NERDS, THE MONSTER SQUAD and THE LONE GUNMEN (and many more), and a score by the great Lalo Schifrin, it's weird that EARTH*STAR VOYAGER has been almost completely forgotten by popular culture.

Canceled Too Soon #175 | Heil Honey I'm Home! (1990) Dec 21, 2019

Just imagine you're watching TV in 1990, and suddenly, right in the middle of primetime, you find yourself watching a "wacky" sitcom about Adolf Hitler! It really happened, and the legend of HEIL HONEY I'M HOME!, which lasted only one episode, was born.

But was HEIL HONEY I'M HOME really the most offensive television series in history, or was it a scathing political satire in the vein of THE GREAT DICTATOR, THE PRODUCERS and JOJO RABBIT? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold dive into one of the most notorious CANCELED TOO SOON series ever in this very special 175th episode!

And you thought YOUR high school was bad? You're lucky you didn't have DEADLY CLASS, a school for assassins run by Benedict Wong (DOCTOR STRANGE), populated by adolescent murderers and future criminal overlords!

Was DEADLY CLASS... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold enroll in this strange series and praise the kick-butt soundtrack, but hand out demerits for not being nearly as punk rock as it thinks it is.

Canceled Too Soon #169 - Night Stalker (2005) Nov 06, 2019

KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER is one of the most important and influential "Canceled Too Soon" shows in TV history. But what about the reboot, NIGHT STALKER, from X-FILES producer Frank Spotnitz, starring Stuart Townsend and Gabrielle Union? Was it a worthy follow-up to a cult TV classic, or a generic early-2000s supernatural detective series with a catastrophically miscast star?

You'll have to listen to CANCELED TOO SOON to find out! Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold dig up NIGHT STALKER to see how it stacks up to the original, how it stacks up to THE X-FILES, and why all the show's problems probably could have been solved with a $20 trip to an outlet store.

Canceled Too Soon #167 - Jekyll (2007) Oct 19, 2019

Before Stephen Moffat updated Sherlock Holmes for the 21st century, in the megahit BBC series SHERLOCK, he went back in time and brought back a monster. JEKYLL stars James Nesbitt (THE HOBBIT) as Dr. Tom Jackman, a mild-mannered scientist who keeps transforming into an amoral, violent and uncontrollable new personality.

But there's more to the story than meets the eye, and more than you'd ever find in the book!

JEKYLL lasted only one season, six short episodes, but although Moffat claims to have written a second season that never came to fruition. Was the series... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Canceled Too Soon #166 - Mockingbird Lane (2012) Oct 16, 2019

Everyone's second-favorite 1960s sitcom about a family of monsters living in suburbia got an all-star reboot with 2012's MOCKINGBIRD LANE! This reimagining of THE MUNSTERS stems from HANNIBAL producer Bryan Fuller, and stars Jerry O'Connell, Portia De Rossi, Charity Wakefield and Eddie Izzard as creepy creatures trying to live inconspicuously in polite society, while also occasionally killing some people.

It's creepy, it's kooky, but it's ain't THE ADDAMS FAMILY. It's the Munsters all over again, and it may very well have been CANCELED TOO SOON. Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold exhume this notorious failed pilot to determine if MOCKINGBIRD LANE deserved to buried alive in foul earth of pop culture history, or whether it's worthy of resurrection.

Celebrated sci-fi author Harlan Ellison created a show Amish people who learn they're living in outer space, in a ship containing everyone on Earth as they flee an uninhabitable Earth! It's the very ambitious and extremely cheap TV series THE STARLOST, starring Keir Dullea from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY!

Harlan Ellison had his name taken off THE STARLOST and replaced with, for some reason, "Cordwainer Bird." Was he right, or was this TV show... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Canceled Too Soon #154 - Wizards and Warriors (1983) Jul 03, 2019

The year was 1983, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS was being played across the country, and on Saturday nights there was only one show where you could find magic, sword fighting, invisible dragons and silly jokes: WIZARDS AND WARRIORS!

It won an Emmy for Best Costume Design, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold dive into this overlooked fantasy series to figure out why it works, why it failed, and whether genre fans had enough of a sense of humor to laugh at themselves, and appreciate this goofy lark of a series.

Canceled Too Soon #153 - Spectre (1977) Jun 27, 2019

Everybody knows that Gene Roddenberry created STAR TREK, the utopian sci-fi series about overcoming mankind's frailties and taking our place amongst the stars. But he also created a show about orgies and demons called SPECTRE, starring Robert Culp and Oscar-winner Gig Young as paranormal investigators who get wrapped up in an occult conspiracy involving John Hurt and fetish outfits.

It's one of the weirdest things Gene Roddenberry ever did, but was SPECTRE really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold crack open the crypt and explore the twisted catacombs of Roddenberry's imagination, and discover one of the most lively failed pilots of the 1970s!

Canceled Too Soon #152 - Exo-Man (1977) Jun 24, 2019

Just a few weeks after STAR WARS first came out, a new superhero premiered on television, and his named wasn't IRON MAN, but everyone thought it was! From the director of SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN came EXO-MAN, the story of a physics professor who testifies against the mob, gets attacked and paralyzed, and uses his scientific knowhow to build a terrible-looking supersuit and seek vigilante justice.

EXO-MAN might not be as good as IRON MAN, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a look at one of the most misunderstood failed pilots in TV history and see if there's a MALFUNTION involved (a.k.a. the distinct lack of fun).

William Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET was nothing more than a prelude to STILL STAR-CROSSED, an epic drama from SHONDALAND - the producers of GREY'S ANATOMY and SCANDAL - about what happened after those ill-fated lovers took their own lives.

Canceled Too Soon #150 - The Lone Gunmen (2001) Jun 10, 2019

It's time to bring CHRIS CARTER MONTH to an appropriately abrupt conclusion with THE LONE GUNMEN, one of the most notorious one-season wonders in TV history. The comic relief sidekicks from THE X-FILES got their own TV series, with decent ratings and critical acclaim, with conspiracy-driven storylines that accurately predicted tech companies spying on consumers and - in the show's shocking pilot - the 9/11 attacks.

THE LONE GUNMEN is a show with a huge cult following, and that's why we saved it for a special occasion! Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold dive into the show that only lasted one short season, before getting an unexpected and disappointing conclusion on THE X-FILES.

Is THE LONE GUNMEN the classic everyone makes it out to be? Was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON?

A group of mismatched strangers are stuck together in the middle of the apocalypse in THE AFTER, a failed TV pilot written and directed by Chris Carter, the producer of THE X-FILES! It's a series about twisting-turning revelations and mysterious characters, kinda like LOST but... not.

Despite a big budget, a big cast and a big push by Amazon, THE AFTER never made it past the pilot episode. Was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a trip to "The After" to figure out what this show really was, what it was eerily transforming into, and whether it deserved all 99 episodes that Chris Carter planned for it!

CHRIS CARTER MONTH begins! The creator of THE X-FILES and MILLENNIUM also produced a lot of failed TV shows, and we're saluting those disappointments, starting with HARSH REALM, a sci-fi epic about a soldier tossed into a virtual reality simulation to assassinate a rogue player.

It came out just a few months after THE MATRIX, so audiences were clearly interested in realms as harsh (or harsher) than HARSH REALM. So why didn't it take off, and was it... CANCELED TOO SOON?

The year was 1985, and the balls had just gone mad! MADBALLS were a successful series of toys that gave gruesome faces to spherical objects, but although they practically flew of the shelves, they didn't have their own cartoon series. But it wasn't for lack of trying!

MADBALLS had not one but TWO pilot episodes, as wildly different as they could possibly be while still starring gross anthropomorphic balls. Could they both have been... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Back in the 1970s, the world was a heck of a lot more bionic. That's why shows like THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN and BIONIC WOMAN ruled the airwaves. In 2007, the producer of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and the co-writer of ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL teamed up to reboot BIONIC WOMAN with a new cast and a grim 'n' gritty attitude!

A sci-fi murder mystery series from Isaac Asimov?! Why doesn't anybody ever talk about PROBE?

Probably because this series, starring Parker Stevenson from THE HARDY BOYS and BAYWATCH, only lasted eight short episodes before getting the ax. But until then it was a fast-pacing and quirky TV show about killer A.I. elevators, super-intelligent apes and sci-fi writers who get all their best ideas from alien balls of lightning.

Forty-five years before Sam Elliott (and his amazing hair) finally earned an Academy Awards nomination for A STAR IS BORN, he (and his hair) was stuntman extraordinaire EVEL KNIEVEL in a failed TV pilot! He jumped cars on a motorcycle, he fought crime, he ripped off THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES... and he didn't go series.

Was the EVEL KNIEVEL television series... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take you back to the 1970s to remember the age of celebrity stunt persons, the early days of Sam Elliott's illustrious career, and marvel at his unerringly fabulous coif!

In the spirit of MAD MEN comes the glossy soap opera PAN AM, starring Margot Robbie, Christina Ricci and more great cast members as the flight crew of a 707 in the early 1960s. Over the course of the series they'll find themselves spying for the CIA, dating congressmen, selling their nude photos to Andy Warhol and making emergency landings in war-torn countries!

Canceled Too Soon #133 - Kitchen Confidential (2005) Jan 27, 2019

Anthony Bourdain's best-selling exposé of the world of fine dining became a failed sitcom starring Bradley Cooper in 2005! KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL also starred John Cho, Nicholas Brendon, John Francis Daley, Jaime King, Bonnie Somerville and Sam Pancake, and only aired for four measly episodes on Fox.

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold break down this failed series that went on to build a large fanbase, to see what worked, what was so problematic that Anthony Bourdain eventually apologized for it, and how difficult it is to do an episode of this show without making any Star Trek references.

Canceled Too Soon #130 - Tarzan (2003) Dec 28, 2018

Tarzan is one of the most popular characters in the history of popular culture... but not this time. The WB version of TARZAN stars Travis Fimmel (VIKINGS) and Sarah Wayne Callies (THE WALKING DEAD) as Tarzan and Jane, whose modern day adventures take place in New York City, against the backdrop of corporate conspiracies by Tarzan's uncle, played by Mitch Pileggi, and his aunt, played by Lucy Lawless.

It's a shirtless, shoeless, bodice-ripping vigilante love story from Eric Kripke, who would go on to create the cult shows SUPERNATURAL and TIMELESS. But was this particular version of TARZAN... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold explore this failed TV show to figure out how Tarzan's story could work today, and why it usually doesn't.

Ralph Bakshi became a legend by directing animation for adults, like LORD OF THE RINGS and FRITZ THE CAT, but in 1988 he also directed the pilot episode for a Nickelodeon television series about a little girl trapped in a magical land. Everything everyone ever lost comes to life in Tattertown, including Debbie's doll Muffet, who rebels against her owner and tries to destroy Christmas!

It's a chaotic and seedy anecdote in Ralph Bakshi's career, but was CHRISTMAS IN TATTERTOWN really... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Canceled Too Soon #128 - Star Command (1996) Dec 16, 2018

STAR TREK was all the rage in the late 1990s, and a lot of other shows were eager to rip off the classic sci-fi show's formula, with interstellar exploration, major moral conundrums, old-fashioned naval wars in space and a bit of sexual tension. Hence, we got a pilot like STAR COMMAND, in which gorgeous 20-somethings take over their vessel when the captains die, and wage war against the bad guys all by themselves.

It's got lasers! It's got Morgan Fairchild! It's got virtual reality porn! But was STAR COMMAND really... CANCELED TOO SOON?

He's a nearly omnipotent shiny space guy who holds himself responsible for the death of billions, who now wanders the cosmos pondering enormous philosophical questions and trying, and often failing, to redeem himself. And somehow he got his own Saturday morning cartoon series, with all of those lofty ideas and depressing themes intact.

But they also had one of the most notorious bombs ever with NICK FURY: AGENT OF SHIELD, a cheesy failed TV pilot starring David Hasselhoff from BAYWATCH as a cigar-chomping, jokester super spy who fights overacting Nazi bad guys who want to destroy the world with a super virus.

But along that journey to box office billions there many missteps, and boy howdy, was GENERATION X one of them.

And so we got weird esoteric ephemera like the animated series FRED AND BARNEY MEET THE THING, in which the rocky superhero from the Fantastic Four goes on solo adventures with a group of teenagers, and turns into a teenager himself, using magic rings and a rhyming enchantment.

Does this Thing thing do its thing? And was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Canceled Too Soon #117 - Nightmare Classics (1989) Oct 05, 2018

Shelley Duvall ruled cable television in the 1980s, with her award-winning kids show FAERIE TALE THEATRE, which adapted classic faerie tales with all-star casts, and warmed the hearts of an entire generation of kids. But a lot of those kids never knew about her short-lived spin-off series NIGHTMARE CLASSICS, which adapted timeless tales of terror like THE TURN OF THE SCREW, CARMILLA and THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE into hour-long shows for teen audiences.

NIGHTMARE CLASSICS stars Amy Irving, David Hemmings, Roddy McDowell, Meg Tilly, Ione Sky, Laura Dern, Rue McClanahan, C. Thomas Howell, John Stockwell and Daphne Zuniga. But was it really CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold explore this forgotten horror series in the first installment of SCARYTOBER, a whole month dedicated to short-lived scary shows!

Canceled Too Soon #116 - The Mayor (2017) Sep 30, 2018

What happens when someone runs for public office as a publicity stunt and accidentally gets elected? You'll find out in... real life, but also in THE MAYOR, a short-lived sitcom starring Brandon Micheal Hall as a young hip hop artist who gets a crash course in civics when he ends up running a whole town all by himself... as well as his best friends, GLEE's Lea Michele, COMMUNITY's Yvette Nicole Brown, and David Spade (of David Spade fame).

THE MAYOR was timely, maybe to a fault, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold explore a show that is atypically positive about politics, and why that makes for a good sitcom but may have been exactly the opposite of what audiences were interested in. It's the last episode of our SUDDENLY, LAST SEASON theme month, and it was selected by our Patrons!

Canceled Too Soon #115 - Blood Drive (2017) Sep 24, 2018

It's the distant future, the year 1999, and BLOOD DRIVE is a hit television series starring real life serial killers who race across the country, in cars that run on human blood instead of gasoline. With post-apocalyptic monsters at every pit stop, can a goody two-shoes cop and his murderous partner hit the finish line before their heads blow up?

BLOOD DRIVE is the most GRINDHOUSE television series we've ever seen. But does it belong in the past, or was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review the SyFy original series that nobody talked about, even though they should have, with episodes about sex zombies, 1950s diner cannibals, and an adorable little town called "Cronenburgh," as our SUDDENLY LAST SEASON month continues!

Canceled Too Soon #114 - Living Biblically (2018) Sep 16, 2018

A 21st century film critic decides to live his life 100% by The Bible in LIVING BIBLICALLY, a sitcom that tried to explore the complexities of Christianity in a clichéd sitcom format, complete with a doofus married to an implausible awesome wife, a pair of mismatched best friends (a priest and a rabbi), and a high-paid journalism job that normally would have been downsized years ago.

LIVING BIBLICALLY was an odd and controversial series, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Actual film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold explore the best and worst ideas in this eccentric sitcom and decide once and for all just heavenly it is. It's the latest episode of our SUDDENLY LAST SEASON month, dedicated entirely to recently canceled shows!

Canceled Too Soon #113 - Will (2017) Sep 09, 2018

Our SUDDENLY, LAST SEASON month begins! Every week in September we're review recently canceled television shows, and we're starting with a doozy: WILL, about a hunky young William Shakespeare, who rises to fame in Elizabethan England while having sexy sex, doing druggy drugs and singing James Brown songs.

It's wild! It's wacky! But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review this failed TNT series and see how it stacks up against actual Shakespeare plays, actual history, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE and ROMEO+JULIET. Why is it fun? Why is it laughable? And was it good, bad, or so bad it's wonderfully good?

From the writer of DIE HARD, 48 HOURS and COMMANDO comes the failed TV pilot for K-9000, starring Chris Mulkey (TWIN PEAKS) as a tough cop who accidentally gets a microchip shot into his brain which allows him to hear the thoughts of a cyborg dog.

It's hard to imagine a TV show with that premise not being a big hit, but K-9000 got canceled immediately anyway. The question is, what it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold figure out what the heck happened, what went wrong, and why cops never seem to team up with crime-solving cats in this all-new episode of the podcast.

Canceled Too Soon #111 - Bone Chillers (1996) Aug 23, 2018

Everyone remembers GOOSEBUMPS, but let's take a moment to reflect on the popular kids horror novel series BONE CHILLERS, which inspired a one-season wonder television series on ABC, staring Charles Fleischer (WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT) and Linda Cardellini (FREAKS AND GEEKS). It's a spooky, kooky, and totally manic live-action series about teenagers who go to a horrifying high school where frog monsters, mummies, topiary animals, giant spiders and the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe roam the halls.

Disney bought ABC and canceled BONE CHILLERS, even though the ratings were good. But was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold marvel at this kids show's unexpectedly impressive cult movie credentials, and sink into the ominous morass of sugar-high kids television, where everything is ramped up to 11, and kids rule, frequently at the expense of adults, who drool.

Heather Graham stars in EMILY'S REASONS WHY NOT, a heavily promoted sitcom that was going to be one of ABC's flagship TV shows in 2006... until it was canceled, after only one episode. What the heck? How do you get canceled after only one episode, when the network spent millions on marketing? What did you do, EMILY'S REASONS WHY NOT? And were you truly CANCELED TOO SOON? William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold delve into one of the most notorious TV failures in history, and figure out why the pilot episode scared off the network, why the remaining episodes weren't any better, and why EMILY'S REASONS WHY NOT has the exact same problems as the hit series SEINFELD.

Either Amy and Raquel are mentally ill, or there really are demons possessing people in England, and they really do need to be beaten up with sticks. That's the plot of CRAZYHEAD, a horror-comedy series from the producer of MERLIN and FUTURE MAN, and it's got a lot of promise.

Does CRAZYHEAD live up to that promise? Was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold dissect the short-lived Netflix/E4 production and figure out what makes the show distinctive, what makes it just like every other horror-comedy series, and why the show is so obsessed with demon butts.

A hunky time traveler accidentally kidnaps a history-obsessed young kid and takes him on a never-ending adventure through time in VOYAGERS! The ambitious but short-lived primetime series starred the dashing John-Erik Hexum and the precocious Meeno Peluce, and a host of guest stars playing famous figures, like Jonathan Frakes (as Charles Lindbergh), Gregg Henry (as Teddy Roosevelt) and Julia Duffy (as Nellie Bly).

It's adventurous! It's educational! But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold on an adventure across space and time as they review every episode of VOYAGERS!, a.k.a. America's answer to DOCTOR WHO, and explain why John-Erik Hexum should have been one of the biggest stars in the world (and why, tragically, that never came to pass).

Canceled Too Soon #107 - Where's Rodney? (1990) Jul 25, 2018

Rodney Dangerfield was one of the most beloved standup comedians in history, a master jokester whose self-deprecating persona was practically tailor-made for sitcoms. But when the time came to make one, for some reason it was all about teenaged Rodney Dangerfield fan who had the power to summon (and teleport) Dangerfield from wherever he happened to be at the moment, to give him relationship advice.

Believe it or not, with a premise like that, WHERE'S RODNEY never made it past the pilot episode. But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold walk you through this baffling episode of television and suss out how it fits into Rodney Dangerfield's legendary career and why nothing about it works, except for a single, solitary moment of perfection.

Canceled Too Soon #106 - Legend (1995) Jul 20, 2018

After he was MACGYVER, but before he was STARGATE SG-1, Richard Dean Anderson was a LEGEND. In this short-lived steampunk western series, Anderson played a hard-drinking coward who writes books about Nicodemus Legend, a saintly hero who wields extraordinary technology, courtesy of a sci-fi scientist inspired by Nikola Tesla, played by John de Lancie from STAR TREK.

LEGEND was overshadowed by the overall failure of its network, UPN, and from the more popular one-season steampunk western series THE ADVENTURES OF BRISCO COUNTY JR., which had left the air only a year earlier. But was it actually... CANCELED TOO TOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold guide you through this charming adventure series to figure out what worked, what went wrong, and whether LEGEND would succeed or fail if it came out today.

Everyone was trying to cash in on the MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS boom in the late 1990s, and one of the weirdest imitators was VAN-PIRES, a live-action/CGI hybrid about human teenagers who turn into vampire cars to fight other vampire cars and make terrible, TERRIBLE car puns.

Oh yeah, and somehow it had an original soundtrack by John Entwistle from THE WHO.

Crazy, right? So maybe it's possible that VAN-PIRES was... CANCELED TOO SOON! Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold delve into the bizarre mythology of VAN-PIRES, the confusing conspiracy theories about who played "Van He'll Sing," and a heck of lot more in the latest episode.

Two years later we got a sequel everyone remembers, and a failed TV pilot that nobody heard of, starring Jennifer Hall (UP ALL NIGHT) as Elle Woods!

It only lasted one episode, but was the LEGALLY BLONDE television series... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold delve into what works about the movies, what transfers perfectly to the show, and what seems missing from this TV obscurity.

Canceled Too Soon #103 - VR.5 (1995) Jul 01, 2018

The year was 1995, and virtual reality was going to unlock all the mysteries of the universe. Or at least, it was going to be the subject of endless sci-fi movies and TV shows like VR.5, a post X-FILES knockoff about a secret society who employs hacker Sydney Bloom (Lori Singer) to drag criminals into virtual reality and unlock their deepest secrets. Over a dial-up phone line.

VR.5 may be a little hilarious now that we know more about computers, the internet and, well, virtual reality... but was it CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold unlock the secrets of VR.5 to reveal what works, what doesn't, how we know Christopher Nolan was probably a big fan, and you should never, EVER do a parallel reality episode in your very first season.

Jim Varney was a comedy sensation, thanks to his beloved character Ernest P. Worrell, who starred in TV commercials, hit movies and - for one short season - HEY VERN, IT'S ERNEST! It's a sketch comedy series for children that aired after GARFIELD AND FRIENDS, and won two Emmy Awards, including one for Varney himself.

It's remembered fondly by fans of Ernest P. Worrell, so is it possible that HEY VERN, IT'S ERNEST was... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold look back at the history of Ernest, what made the character so popular, and what works about his award-winning television series (and what definitely doesn't), before trying to come up with their very own episode of the show!

Canceled Too Soon #101 - Barbie and the Rockers (1987) Jun 13, 2018

You know her name, you know her dolls, but you probably don't know that Barbie had her own animated series in 1987... because it only lasted two episodes. It's called BARBIE AND THE ROCKERS, it emerged from the short-lived toy line that Mattel invented to compete with JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, and it's a time travel adventure in which - somehow - almost nothing happens.

BARBIE AND THE ROCKERS burned out quickly, but could it be that it was... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review both episodes of the television series, which eventually went straight to video, to figure out what happened, why Barbie dances so weird, and why Ken desperately needs to shut up.

Whether you're joining us in a trip down memory lane, or just finding out what you've been missing, this is a must-listen episode of CANCELED TOO SOON!

Canceled Too Soon #99 - Selfie (2014) May 24, 2018

Since the creation of CANCELED TOO SOON, one sitcom has been requested more than any other. That show is SELFIE, starring John Cho and Karen Gillan as updated versions of Henry Higgins and Eliza Dolittle from MY FAIR LADY and PYGMALION, in an eccentric comedy about the pros and cons of living on social media!

It's got a dedicated cult following, but it couldn't find an audience in its original run. Was SELFIE really... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are joined this week by actor Samm Levine, the co-star of SELFIE, who reveals behind the scenes stories from the series, tells us where the story might have gone if it hadn't been canceled, and more!

Canceled Too Soon #98 - Cop Rock (1990) May 16, 2018

Television visionary Steven Bochco produced the iconic legal shows HILL STREET BLUES, L.A. LAW and NYPD BLUE, but he also produced one of the most notorious TV failures in history. It's called COP ROCK, it's a serious, hardboiled social issue series with confrontational storylines about racism, sexism and police corruption, and it's also a weekly musical with songs by Randy Newman!

It's become one of the biggest punchlines in pop culture history, but is it possible that COP ROCK was... canceled too soon? Film critic April Wolfe joins our regular hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold to unearth this bizarre piece of TV ephemera, analyze the best and worst songs, and consider the possibility that this supposedly embarrassing series is extremely underrated, and decades ahead of its time.

Canceled Too Soon #96 - White Dwarf (1995) Apr 27, 2018

When Francis Ford Coppola does sci-fi television, it gets weird. We've already talked about THE PEOPLE, and now it's time to explore the old west alien surgery fish monster immortal princess shapeshifting panther and melancholy tetherball TV series WHITE DWARF.

No, those were not just random words. That's actually what WHITE DWARF is about. It's one of the strangest TV shows we've ever reviewed (and that's saying something), but was WHITE DWARF... canceled too soon?

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a walk on the weird side with Neal McDonough (LEGENDS OF TOMORROW) and Paul Winfield (STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN) and CCH Pounder (AVATAR), in what may be the most bonkers project on all of their respective resumés, as our PILOT SEASON concludes!

The Randomizer - Desperate Housewives 6.19 "We All Deserve To Die" Apr 25, 2018

The ABC television series DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES was one of the most popular shows of the early 21st century, but for one reason or another, we never watched it. In the pilot episode for the podcast THE RANDOMIZER, we watch a randomly selected episode from the middle DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and try to figure out what's going on!

Yes, it's random, but it used to be one of the ways that people discovered new television shows, before it was easy to catch up to long-running series on digital streaming, DVD or Blu-ray. Does it still work? Will we figure out what's happening on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, or will we turn out to be WAY off the mark?

Canceled Too Soon #95 - The People (1972) Apr 18, 2018

Our PILOT SEASON continues with one of the weirdest footnotes in Francis Ford Coppola's career! Only two months before THE GODFATHER made him a household name, Coppola executive produced a TV pilot called THE PEOPLE, which starred Kim Darby (TRUE GRIT) and William Shatner (STAR TREK) as city folk who stumble across a town of, more-or-less, superpowered Amish people. Yes. Really.

THE PEOPLE never made it past the pilot episode, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a trip to this mysterious community where kazoos dance in mid-air, Vogue magazines are verboten, and William Shatner gives the most natural performance in the whole ensemble!

AverageFest - Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) Apr 16, 2018

Our PILOT SEASON continues with AVERAGEFEST, a brand new podcast about the hunt for the most mediocre movie ever made! And the most average movie we could think of, to start with, is MICKEY BLUE EYES, starring Hugh Grant as a charmingly befuddled British person who has to impersonate a mobster to marry the woman he loves.

Find out what makes MICKEY BLUE EYES just kinda okay, not terrible but not particularly good either, and how you could use this screenplay as a blueprint for basically every middle of the road rom-com ever made, in this pilot episode for AVERAGEFEST!

Canceled Too Soon #94 - The Robinsons: Lost in Space (2004) Apr 11, 2018

Back in the 1960s, the Robinson family got LOST IN SPACE, in a classic sci-fi tv series that got better ratings than STAR TREK. 50 years later, the WB tried to reboot that franchise with director John Woo (FACE/OFF) and a young Adrianne Palicki (THE ORVILLE). Only this time, the Robinson family had to fence extraterrestrial threats in a post-9/11 milieu, a la BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

John Woo's THE ROBINSONS: LOST IN SPACE may have been "badass," but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold dive into the furthest reaches of outer space to figure out what went wrong, what went right, and where this unusual reboot of LOST IN SPACE would have gone if more episodes had been produced. Who knows? Maybe it would have been better than the new Netflix version. (Then again, maybe not...)

Canceled Too Soon: The Home Game - Trump Card (1990-1991) Apr 09, 2018

The year was 1990, and Donald Trump got himself a game show by taking the British series BOB'S FULL HOUSE, filming it at Trump Castle, and changing the name to TRUMP CARD. It only lasted one season, but was it any good? And if not, was it as embarrassing as THE 100 LIVES OF BLACK JACK SAVAGE?

Welcome to CANCELED TOO SOON: THE HOME GAME, a pilot episode for a brand new podcast about defunct tv game shows! We're debuting pilot episodes for bonus shows throughout the month of April.

Canceled Too Soon #93 - Alexander the Great (1963/1968) Apr 05, 2018

What do you get when you mix William Shatner from STAR TREK, Adam West from BATMAN, John Cassavetes from THE DIRTY DOZEN and Joseph Cotten from CITIZEN KANE? You get a beefcake sword-and-sandal television series about ALEXANDER THE GREAT, and it only lasted one freakin' episode.

ALEXANDER THE GREAT had one of the most bizarre casts of any TV series, ever, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take you through the history of the sword-and-sandal genre, place this weird failed pilot in the context of the cast's lengthy and storied careers, and imagine the alternate reality in which ALEXANDER THE GREAT was a hit series, and STAR TREK and BATMAN - which premiered three years later - had to hire different leading men.

Canceled Too Soon #92 - Almost Human (2013-2014) Mar 30, 2018

Our COPS WITH ROBOT PARTNERS MONTH is coming to an end, but we've saved the best for last. ALMOST HUMAN stars Karl Urban (STAR TREK) as a human cop who isn't in touch with his emotions, and Michael Ealy (THINK LIKE A MAN) as his robot partner, who has more emotions than he can handle. Together they solve crimes in Los Angeles in 2048!

ALMOST HUMAN is one of our most requested episodes, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take out their diagnostic equipment and run a scan on this sci-fi cult favorite, to talk about the episodes that were amazing, the episodes that sucked, what they think about the show's lingering mysteries, why Michael Ealy is a national treasure and why the episode where he fights Gina Carano is a classic!

In FUTURE COP, Ernest Borgnine and a robot cancel criminals' plans to commit murder, steal cars and rig boxing matches. But was this show... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani delve into every episode of FUTURE COP to find out what works, what's broken, and why the show was successfully sued by sci-fi legends Harlan Ellison and Ben Bova for plagiarism.

Canceled Too Soon #88 - Herbie, The Love Bug (1982) Feb 28, 2018

In 1968, Disney introduced the world to HERBIE THE LOVE BUG, an anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle who won races, warmed hearts, and starred in six feature-length, live-action motion pictures over the course of nearly 50 years. But most people forget that Herbie also starred in a Disney Channel television series in 1982... possibly because it's one of the most milquetoast television series ever made.

In HERBIE, THE LOVE BUG, the little car cancels his racing career to settle down with a family in the suburbs. But was he... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take this long-forgotten TV show for a spin to find out whether it still runs, or whether it needs to be taken back to the junk heap.

Canceled Too Soon #87 - The Persuaders! (1971-1972) Feb 23, 2018

The 1970s didn't get much funkier than THE PERSUADERS! This short-lived action/adventure series starred Roger Moore (just before he became James Bond) and Tony Curtis (just before his career hit the skids) as two dapper, selfish millionaires who solve murders, stop conspiracies and seduce every human being in Europe.

It was a huge globetrotting adventure starring two of the sexiest stars in movie and television history, but was THE PERSUADERS! really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take you back to the Swingin' Seventies and try to figure out why THE PERSUADERS! still has a cult following, what the show did wrong, and how mad times Roger Moore and Tony Curtis could possibly stumble across dead bodies in the woods (hint: it's a LOT).

Sammy Davis Jr. plays a demon trying to buy Jack Klugman's soul in POOR DEVIL, a TV comedy in the tradition of BEWITCHED and I DREAM OF JEANNIE with a hellish little twist. Christopher Lee plays Lucifer and Adam West plays Klugman's despicable boss, but despite that phenomenal cast the pilot for POOR DEVIL wasn't picked up for series.

It's a devilishly fun idea, but was POOR DEVIL really... CANCELED TOO SOON?

It's a live-action prime time TV pilot about an ancient immortal who searches for people who can transform stuff into bigger stuff, and who tracks down a cop whose dead son has possessed a robot dinosaur. Now, that cop needs to transform his dead robot dinosaur son into a giant robot dinosaur who breathes fire and kills bad guys.

STEEL JUSTICE might very well be the weirdest, dumbest television series we have ever reviewed. But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are on the case, outlining every single baffling element of this failed television pilot, and trying to figure out how the hell anyone thought it could ever work as a television series.

Canceled Too Soon #84 - FreakyLinks (2000-2001) Jan 31, 2018

Links don't get much freakier than they do in FREAKYLINKS, a short-lived horror series about Gen X journalists who investigate ghosts, monsters and dinosaurs for their super-cool, super-edgy website, starring Ethan Embry (CAN'T HARDLY WAIT) and from the creators of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, DARK CITY and BATMAN BEGINS.

It was a concept that was practically designed to only last for one season at the turn of the century, but is it possible that FREAKYLINKS was... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are on the case, walking you through every episode of the cult favorite show and fantasizing about a world in which internet writers actually make money.

Canceled Too Soon #83 - The Dresden Files (2007) Jan 25, 2018

He's a wizard. He's a private detective. He's kind of a schmoe. He's Harry Dresden, and he's the protagonist of THE DRESDEN FILES, a popular series of novels by Jim Butcher and a short-lived television series on The Sci-Fi Channel starring Paul Blackthorne (an actor whose real name is arguably even cooler than "Harry Dresden").

THE DRESDEN FILES has werewolves, vampires, ghosts, dragons, bird people, and just about everything else you can think of, except actual files. But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they take a look at the cult favorite TV series, from the perspective of people who haven't read the books. (And yes, they accidentally got the year the show came out wrong on the podcast. They're sorry.)

Canceled Too Soon #82 - Law & Order: Los Angeles (2010-2011) Jan 21, 2018

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. It's a system that works great in New York City, where every other American LAW & ORDER series takes place, but in LAW & ORDER: LOS ANGELES it fell apart after just one season.

It's one of the biggest failures in a long-running, super popular television franchise, but was LAW & ORDER: LOS ANGELES... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are on the case, running down leads on why the LAW & ORDER formula works, why it's unintentionally hilarious, and every detail about Los Angeles that the showrunners got catastrophically wrong.

Canceled Too Soon #81 - Brimstone (1998-1999) Jan 13, 2018

From the creators of TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT comes a supernatural action/adventure TV series about a dead cop who teams up with the Devil to catch escapees from Hell. Peter Horton (THIRTYSOMETHING) and John Glover (SMALLVILLE) star in the BRIMSTONE, a series with a pretty big cult following considering it only lasted for half a season in the late 1990s.

But was BRIMSTONE really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review the hell out of this hellish TV series to find out what went right, what went wrong, and what might have happened if the series had continued.

Canceled Too Soon #80 - GCB, aka Good Christian Bitches (2012) Jan 06, 2018

They're good. They're Christian. They are allegedly bitches. So it mades perfect sense to call this short-lived comedy series from SEX AND THE CITY producer Darren Starr, STEEL MAGNOLIAS writer Robert Harling, and author Kim Gatlin... GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES. (And then there was an uproar so they called it "GCB" instead.)

With Leslie Bibb, Kristen Chenoweth, Annie Potts, Miriam Shor, GCB had one of the best ensemble casts of any tv show in years. But was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold cross themselves and take a trek through every episode of the series, and talk about what worked, what failed, and which of the cast members are indisputable international treasures.

Canceled Too Soon #79 - Roar (1997) Dec 31, 2017

Heath Ledger and Vera Farmiga got their big breaks in ROAR, a sexy teen riff on BRAVEHEART and HERCULES, about a gang of hot young Celts who do battle with an immortal Roman to save Ireland from oppression. Along the way they rescue banshees, kiss fire maidens, rescue Jesus Christ's personal correspondence and throw spears into heaven... for reasons.

ROAR failed to take off on the Fox Network, but was it possibly... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they solve the mystery, walk you through every weird episode of ROAR, and wonder what possible reason the hair department and makeup department could possibly have had to do what they did to Vera Farmiga's bangs.

Canceled Too Soon #78 - Practical Magic, aka Sudbury (2004) Dec 22, 2017

Most people know that Sanda Bullock and Nicole Kidman co-starred in PRACTICAL MAGIC, a very surreal supernatural comedy about a family of witches who run afoul of deadly curses, ghostly ex-boyfriends and multiple generations of prejudice.

What most people DON'T know is that PRACTICAL MAGIC spawned a failed tv pilot in 2004 called SUDBURY, starring Jeri Ryan from STAR TREK: VOYAGER, Kim Delaney from NYPD BLUE, and Kat Dennings from TWO BROKE GIRLS.

The PRACTICAL MAGIC television series never actually aired, but still we ask... was it CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold track down this obscure chapter in tv history to figure out what the film did better than the show, what the show did better than the film, and just how weird PRACTICAL MAGIC was in the first place.

Canceled Too Soon #77 - Fishing With John (1991) Dec 15, 2017

FISHING WITH JOHN was one of the weirdest talk shows, fishing shows, reality tv shows or shows of any other kind. The series followed composer John Lurie as he invited celebrity guests Jim Jarmusch, Tom Waits, Matt Dillon, Willem Dafoe and Dennis Hopper to exotic locales, where they went fishing. Badly.

That's it. That's the whole series. FISHING WITH JOHN was either a merciless satire of television, a serious meditation on the smaller moments in life, or the mellow predecessor of manic Adult Swim absurdism (or all three).

But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold analyze a series that practically refuses to be analyzed in the latest episode of the podcast.

The late, great David Cassidy was a tv star, a pop star, a teen heartthrob and - for one short season - a hard-boiled undercover cop infiltrating drug dealers, gun runners, baby smugglers and high-octane grocery store thieves. You know, like you do.

But let's be honest here... was the pop culture curio DAVID CASSIDY: MAN UNDERCOVER canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold delve into every episode and discover that this seemingly absurd TV series was 21 JUMP STREET a decade before 21 JUMP STREET, and POINT BREAK a decade-and-a-half before POINT BREAK, and THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS over two decades before THE FAST AND FURIOUS.

Yes, really.

SMALLVILLE was the only live-action DC superhero show in town for many years, but did you know it almost had a sister series about the adventures of AQUAMAN? From producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar came MERCY REEF, a superhero show that's basically FLIPPER but if the dolphin and the human were the same guy.

Before there was JUSTICE LEAGUE, before there was THE FLASH, there was... THE FLASH, an expensive and ambitious live-action superhero series that emerged from the wake of Tim Burton's BATMAN, and bridged the gap between the retro comic book adaptations of yore and a new generation of faithful tv shows and movies.

It's got a huge cult following that continues to this day, but was THE FLASH really... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Welcome... to the JUSTICE MONTH OF JUSTICE! All this month on CANCELED TOO SOON we're reviewing failed DC superhero tv shows, and we're starting off with one of the most notorious pilots in tv history, the live-action JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA from 1997, about a gang of jokester superheroes with cheap costumes and cheaper visual effects.

But could the JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA tv pilot actually be better than the JUSTICE LEAGUE live-action movie? Probably not, but let's at least see if it was CANCELED TOO SOON!

The year was 1996, and MELROSE PLACE and BEVERLY HILLS 90210 ruled the world. But for some reason the world wasn't interested in vampires yet. So it was that KINDRED: THE EMBRACED, Aaron Spelling's ambitious/convoluted adaptation of the supernatural role-playing game VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE, debuted on Fox, lasted one month, and disappeared forever.

Or did it? Fans of KINDRED: THE EMBRACED have kept this soap opera alive for decades, and now the time has come to find out, once and for all, if it was... CANCELED TOO SOON! Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to walk you through every good idea, every bad idea, every monstrous cliché and every weird "before they were famous" cameo that KINDRED: THE EMBRACED has to offer, as our Monstober comes to a close!!

Monstober continues! Remember when Dracula changed his name to "Big D" and recruited a teenaged vampire, werewolf and Frankenstein monster to become crappy superheroes and fight the villainous Dr. Dred and his dopey henchpersons in O.G.R.E. (The Organization of Generally Rotten Enterprises)? You don't? Well, lucky you.

Throw your nostalgia away, because this week on CANCELED TOO SOON we're going to explain way the 1980s basically sucked, and how much of the blame lands squarely on the shoulders of Hanna-Barbera. William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold walk you through every colossally stupid episode and, finally, ask the only question that matters: Was DRAK PACK canceled too soon?

So get this: a college student installs a computer in a wax museum and the electric vibrations bring Dracula, Frankenstein and The Wolf Man back to life. Together they fight campy supervillains who would have been rejected from the 1960s BATMAN tv series in MONSTER SQUAD, a live-action Saturday morning superhero series that has nothing whatsoever to do with the cult classic movie THE MONSTER SQUAD, even though it sounds like it probably does.

Was MONSTER SQUAD... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold put every episode of this bizarre pop culture curio on the slab and dissect it, describing every bizarre (and sometimes offensive) supervillain and having an extended debate on the differences between "monsters" and "ghoulies" as our HALLOWEEN MONSTOBER continues!

Canceled Too Soon #67 - Bates Motel (1987) Oct 04, 2017

Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO is one of the most important motion pictures in history, changing the cinematic and horror landscapes and giving birth to sequels, a remake, a hit TV series and - when nobody was looking - the failed 1987 TV pilot BATES MOTEL starring Bud Cord (HAROLD & MAUDE) and Lori Petty (TANK GIRL), in which Norman Bates' best friend inherits the Bates Motel and finds out that it's haunted by kindly ghosts.

Yup, it's a PSYCHO tv series without Norman Bates in it. And with ghosts. BATES MOTEL only lasted one episode, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold talk you through this bizarre and forgotten piece of TV history, as our Halloween Horror Month begins!

Canceled Too Soon #66 - Sweet/Vicious (2016-2017) Oct 01, 2017

One of the most acclaimed new shows of the 2016/2017 season was SWEET/VICIOUS, an MTV series about two college students who become vigilantes to avenge the victims of sex crimes on their campus. SWEET/VICIOUS tackled serious issues with sensitivity, humor and exciting action, and even though it's one of the most topical shows in years, nobody watched it.

Was SWEET/VICIOUS... canceled too soon? Collider staff writer Christina Radish joins hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold to walk you through every episode of the series, highlight what worked, and point out a few missteps the series may have made as early as episode one, and discuss what would have happened on SWEET/VICIOUS if it had lasted as long as the creator intended.

Canceled Too Soon #65 - Conviction (2016-2017) Sep 21, 2017

You loved her when she was AGENT CARTER, but Hayley Atwell's got an even tougher job in the crime-solving procedural series CONVICTION. The former superspy now plays the daughter of an ex-president, who gets arrested for cocaine possession, and punished by being put in charge of the Conviction Integrity Unit, which looks into old cases and tries to determine, once and for all, if justice had really been served.

CONVICTION only lasted thirteen episodes last season, but was it really... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold pick this fan favorite series apart, episode by episode, much in the same way Hayley Atwell does with old murder cases. What worked? What sucked? And was Hayley Atwell the show's saving grace, or was she woefully miscast?

Canceled Too Soon #64 - Emerald City (2017) Sep 14, 2017

Everyone loves THE WIZARD OF OZ, so of course they made it "badass". From the minds behind shows that were canceled after only one season like SIBERIA, DRACULA and AMERICAN GOTHIC came the sure-fire hit EMERALD CITY, a grim 'n' gritty reboot of L. Frank Baum's fantasy classic, which is now about death and racism and climate change and skinless dudes and warriors wearing cat hats and crucified amnesiacs and witches who nunneries and brothels.

And yet somehow this sure-fire smash from the director of THE IMMORTALS and MIRROR MIRROR was canceled after only one season. But was EMERALD CITY... canceled too soon?

Rachel Cushing from the MOVIE TRIVIA SCHMOEDOWN is here to help William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review this ambitious but strange television event that failed to ignite the imagination of a generation, but might have been kinda neat. Maybe.

Canceled Too Soon #63 - Doubt, Take Two (2017) Sep 11, 2017

Katherine Heigl, Elliott Gould and Laverne Cox starred in DOUBT, a legal dramedy on CBS that was canceled after only two episodes. So we reviewed it after only two episodes. Then CBS aired eleven more episodes over the summer, so we have to come back and do it all over again.

Is it possible we were wrong, and that DOUBT wasn't... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are re-opening the case, revealing how much better DOUBT got as time went on, why the big cliffhanger revelation makes no sense whatsoever, and why one of our hosts has completely changed their mind about this show after our original review.

Canceled Too Soon #62 - Imaginary Mary (2017) Sep 06, 2017

A grown woman gets a visit from her childhood imaginary friend in DROP DEAD FRED, a movie that does the same thing as IMAGINARY MARY but a heck of a lot better. But we have to review IMAGINARY MARY anyway, so let's do that. It stars Jenna Elfman as Alice, a woman struggling with her adulthood, and Rachel Dratch as the voice of her imaginary friend, Mary.

Was IMAGINARY MARY canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold run down every clichéd episode of this short-lived series to tell you what worked, what flopped, and how a perfectly good idea for a series about an imaginary best friend got transformed into a show that has almost to do with an imaginary best friend. (Also, this show had a surprisingly depressing finale, so there's that.)

Canceled Too Soon #61 - Pitch (2016) Aug 31, 2017

One of the most acclaimed new shows of the 2016/2017 television season didn't make it past ten episodes. The show was PITCH, it starred Kylie Bunbury (UNDER THE DOME) as the first female player in Major League Baseball, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar (SAVED BY THE BELL) as the baseball veteran who becomes her mentor... and possibly something more.

PITCH was one of the most talked about television series of the last year, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold walk you through the whole series to figure out what hit a homer, what struck out, and how the heck you can make a pilot episode about a ghost dad and never, ever mention it again.

Canceled Too Soon #60 - Danger Theatre (1993) Aug 24, 2017

Why make just one parody of a crime show when you can make THREE of them? That's the premise of DANGER THEATRE, a comedic anthology series from the director of WAYNE'S WORLD that ran on the Fox network for only seven episodes, and starred Diedrich Bader as the motorcycle-riding do-gooder THE SEARCHER, Adam West as the leader of Hawaii's TROPICAL PUNCH division, and Todd Field and Ricky Harris as hip tinseltown detectives in 357 MARINA DEL REY.

Three comedy crime shows, narrated by Robert Vaughn, that tried to take a bite out of the butt of crime. But was DANGER THEATRE... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold examine all three of these fake shows to determine which were hits, which were duds, and why Diedrich Bader is just so darned wonderful.

"Did you ever wonder what happens AFTER the game ends?" Welcome to GAME OVER, an animated series from the ill-fated UPN network about what video game characters do when they're not raiding tombs or racing cars. It starred Patrick Warburton (THE VENTURE BROTHERS), Lucy Liu (ELEMENTARY) and Artie Lang (MADTV) and it was the lowest rated television series of the 2003-2004 season.

Nobody saw GAME OVER, which means nobody knows if it was... CANCELED TOO SOON! Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold unearth this forgotten animated series and figure out why nobody watched GAME OVER, and whether the show's mixture of ancient sitcom clichés and brand new video game clichés works, or fails miserably.

Canceled Too Soon #58 - You Don't Know Jack (2001) Aug 09, 2017

YOU DON'T KNOW JACK was one of the most popular computer games of the 1990s, mixing subversive humor, highbrow trivia questions and fast-paced gameplay to produce a one-of-a-kind video game experience. It was only a matter of time before YOU DON'T KNOW JACK would be turned into a live-action game show hosted by Paul Reubens (PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE). And it was only a matter of six episodes before the ABC network realized this series just wasn't working.

YOU DON'T KNOW JACK was full of bad jokes, mariachi bands and deadly ninjas... but as it CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to review this bizarre television misfire in all of its ill-conceived, occasionally hilarious glory. It's the first game show we've ever reviewed on CANCELED TOO SOON. Hopefully, it won't be the last!

Superhero shows about defenders are nothing new. In fact, 25 years before MARVEL'S THE DEFENDERS debuted on Netflix we already had THE DEFENDERS OF DYNATRON CITY, an animated superhero pilot from the creators of MANIAC MANSION, THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND and SAM & MAX: FREELANCE POLICE!!!, starring Whoopi Goldberg, Tim Curry and Christopher Walken... before Christopher Walken was recast for some reason.

But was the only animated superhero pilot with an oversexed girl with a buzz saw for legs... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Hot on the heels of WARGAMES came WHIZ KIDS, a primetime television series about teenaged computer experts who hack the NSA, rob graves, find Elvis Presley alive and well (sorta) and even talk to dolphins. It's a tv series that gave kids so much unethical power that critics declared it morally irresponsible, and it only lasted one season as a result.

WHIZ KIDS was ahead of its time, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was... CANCELED TOO SOON. Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to hack into this cult classic series, dissect every absurd storyline and explain what the hell "The Jeremy Connection" is.

Canceled Too Soon #55 - Cliffhangers! (1979) Jul 20, 2017

Why make three televisions shows when you could make one for three times the price? From the developer of THE INCREDIBLE HULK, THE BIONIC WOMAN and V comes the incredibly ambitious CLIFFHANGERS!, a television series consisting of three wildly different, serialized stories called STOP SUSAN WILLIAMS (about a plucky reporter investigating a deadly conspiracy), THE SECRET EMPIRE (about a cowboy who discovers a secret society of aliens living underneath Wyoming) and THE CURSE OF DRACULA (about the curse of Dracula).

It's a really cool idea, but the question remains: was CLIFFHANGERS! canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold dive into each of the three crazy, action-packed, unexpectedly romantic mini-shows packed inside of CLIFFHANGERS! and figure out what works, what doesn't, and why such a cool-sounding tv series failed to find an audience in 1979.

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold talk you through every surreal episode of this absurd television series, try to figure out how talking dogs work, and take you back in time to the disturbing real life events that made TEQUILA AND BONETTI one of the most poorly-timed tv shows in history.

Take every wacky comic relief stereotype, give them each a badge and a gun, and put them to work at the some police station and you get THE LAST PRECINCT, a quirky POLICE ACADEMY knockoff starring Adam West (BATMAN), Ernie Hudson (GHOSTBUSTERS) and James Cromwell (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL), as well as Randi Brooks as Mel, who - as near as we can tell - might potentially have been the first transgender character with a leading role on a network television series.

THE LAST PRECINCT was simultaneously of its time, ahead of its time and behind the times... but was it CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold walk you through every wacky episode, every dumb joke, and everything about THE LAST PRECINCT that kind of works if you look at it the right way. There's a lot to love and a lot to hate about this short-lived tv misfire from the creators of THE A-TEAM, HUNTER and WISEGUY!

What would you do if you could travel between three alternate realities, and all of them were kind of hard to look at? You'll find out in CHARLIE JADE, an ambitious Canadian/South African co-production about a private detective solving mysteries in parallel dimensions, and running afoul of the truly bizarre supervillain 01 Boxer, who is either the greatest bad guy we've ever come across... or the absolute worst.

With 20 episodes to its credit (not counting a recap episode), CHARLIE JADE is one of the longest shows we've ever reviewed. But was it CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to figure out what the heck is really going on in this very unusual sci-fi series.

It's the exciting conclusion to our epic two-part episode! Last week we traveled across the universe with the sci-fi classic BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, and this week we're stuck on a stupid old Earth with GALACTICA 1980, the short-lived spin-off that couldn't decide if it was about time travel or super babies, and wound up stupider than a whole boxful of stupid.

Sure, it was ridiculous, but was GALACTICA 1980 really... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a deep dive into all the terrible decisions that made this BATTLESTAR GALACTICA follow-up one of the most ill-conceived tv shows in history, from the baffling plot points to the stock storylines and then, in the end, rather unexpectedly, one of the best episodes of sci-fi television... ever. Yes, really.

Canceled Too Soon #50 - Battlestar Galactica (1978-1979) Jun 12, 2017

Few sci-fi television shows were more ambitious than BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, a sci-fi space epic from MANIMAL creator Glen A. Larson, whose expensive saga about evil robots chasing noble humans throughout the galaxy came out right on the heels of the game-changing blockbuster STAR WARS. Some people loved it, some people (like the creators of STAR WARS) didn't, but BATTLESTAR GALACTICA left a lasting impression on the genre that overshadowed its single, solitary season of television.

Canceled Too Soon #49 - Wonder Woman (1967), Wonder Woman (1974) and Wonder Woman (2011) Jun 02, 2017

She's one of the most popular, iconic and inspirational superheroes ever created, but even though Wonder Woman has a new blockbuster movie and had a hit tv series in the 1970s, she's also had some REALLY bad luck on television. Over the course of nearly 50 years there have been not one, not two, but THREE failed pilots for a live-action WONDER WOMAN series: including a wacky sitcom, a superspy adventure (without superpowers) and a David E. Kelley's recent, notorious misfire starring Adrianne Palicki (AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.).

But were all these WONDER WOMAN pilots really that bad, or were they... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are joined by Legion of Leia founder Jenna Busch as they guide you through the history of the superhero, why each of these WONDER WOMAN pilots catastrophically misunderstood the character, and finally what they all thought of the brand new WONDER WOMAN movie!

Canceled Too Soon #48 - TerrorVision (198X) May 28, 2017

The history of television is full of horror anthology shows like THE TWILIGHT ZONE, TALES FROM THE CRYPT and THE OUTER LIMITS, but we've never seen anything quite like TERRORVISION. This low-low-low budget horror series about monsters, vampires and murders aired on the Lifetime network in the 1980s, and it's either absolutely terrifying or totally, utterly laughable.

But was TERRORVISION, the show that plays like 1980s porn directors were adapting half-baked campfire stories... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to put more thought into this weird series than anyone else ever has, and reveal its existence to a world that has for decades lived in blissful ignorance of TERRORVISION's existence. How bad could it have possibly been? Pretty darn bad...

Canceled Too Soon #47 - Journeyman (2007) May 21, 2017

A newspaper reporter with a suspiciously expensive house goes back in time to save lives, endanger his marriage and completely ignore his day job in JOURNEYMAN, a sci-fi series starring Kevin McKidd (STAR WARS REBELS), Gretchen Egolf (ROSWELL), Moon Bloodgood (FALLING SKIES) and Reed Diamond (DESIGNATED SURVIVOR), which aired for just 13 episodes in 2007.

Fans tried to save JOURNEYMAN by sending Rice-a-Roni to the network. It didn't work, but it does make you wonder... was this show CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are joined by Miss Movies herself, Brianne Chandler, to review this cult favorite series and figure out what went wrong, what went right, and where the series might have gone if it had lasted 100 episodes.

Canceled Too Soon #46 - L.A. Confidential (2003) May 14, 2017

Everybody knows L.A. CONFIDENTIAL is one of the best movies of the 1990s, and maybe even one of the best movies ever made. But not everybody remembers that just a few years after James Ellroy's classic novel became a classic movie, it almost became a television series, written by Walon Green (THE WILD BUNCH) and starring Kiefer Sutherland (24), Anna Gunn (BREAKING BAD), Eric Roberts (A TALKING CAT?!) and Pruitt Taylor Vince (DEADWOOD).

The L.A. CONFIDENTIAL television series never made it past the pilot episode, but did it really deserve to get abandoned, or was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a look back at one of the most ambitious pilots they've ever encountered, revisit the classic movie, analyze the differences between the film and the pilot and the book, and much, much more!

Canceled Too Soon #45 - My Mother the Car (1965-1966) May 07, 2017

The time has finally come to review one of the most notorious television series in history: MY MOTHER THE CAR, a 1960s sitcom with the stupidest premise imaginable, and a Freudian nightmare that could only happen in the deepest, darkest subconscious of the typical suburban male. Yes, Jerry Van Dyke's mother is a car... and she will spank him.

It's been called the worst tv show in history, but is it possible that MY MOTHER THE CAR was... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold - and special guest Alonso Duralde (Linoleum Knife) - as they drink deeply of all 30 ill-conceived episodes of MY MOTHER THE CAR, the series they call "The HEAVEN'S GATE of Television."

Canceled Too Soon #43 - Earth 2 (1994-1995) Apr 24, 2017

The 1990s were full of failed sci-fi television series, but few ever reached the heights of EARTH 2, an expensive show about colonizing an alien planet that lasted one whole season on NBC. EARTH 2 won an Emmy Award and debuted as one of the highest rated series of television, and somehow it concluded as one of the lowest.

What the heck happened to EARTH 2, and was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold trek all the way to the farthest reaches of the galaxy to bring back the answers. Listen up as they guide you through the whole series of EARTH 2, pondering the show's many mysteries, studying its many stupidities, and considering the deeper ramifications of teleport love spiders, alien cannibalization and much, much more.

Canceled Too Soon #42 - The TV Wheel (1996) Apr 17, 2017

After Joel Hodgson left MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, but before he rebooted MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, he invented a new form of television called THE TV WHEEL. This complicated sketch comedy show rotated a set in front of a stationary camera, challenging the limits of the medium and testing the comedic talents of future superstars like Judd Apatow (KNOCKED UP), Paul Feig (BRIDESMAIDS), David Cross (MR. SHOW), Doug Benson (DOUG LOVES MOVIES) and more.

The pilot for THE TV WHEEL was rejected by HBO and only aired once on Comedy Central. But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold look back at the ambitious sketch comedy series, walk you through every single joke, and help analyze this show's place in Joel Hodgson's fascinating career. How does it compare to MST3K? What was the value of this technology, and where did THE TV WHEEL go wrong?

Canceled Too Soon #41 - The Master, aka Master Ninja (1984) Apr 10, 2017

Fans of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 know all about MASTER NINJA, a series of "movies" starring Lee Van Cleef as an old white ninja and Timothy Van Patten as his hunky hamster-enthusiast sidekick. But before MASTER NINJA got riffed on by MST3K it ran for an entire season on NBC in 1984, under the title of THE MASTER, and featured guest stars like Demi Moore (GHOST), Crystal Bernard (WINGS), George Lazenby (ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE) and several future stars of STAR TREK.

But was THE MASTER... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold guide you through all 13 episodes of the notorious television series, including nine shows that MST3K never got to, and guide you through the weird wide world of 1980s fetishes - like aerobics classes, trucker lingo, ninjas - via this one strange action-adventure series where they all (briefly) collided.

Canceled Too Soon #40 - Doubt (2017) Apr 03, 2017

There are more tv shows about lawyers than we could possibly care to count, but almost all of them lasted longer than DOUBT, a courtroom dramedy starring Katherine Heigl (GREY'S ANATOMY), Laverne Cox (ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK) and Elliott Gould (MASH), which was canceled last February after airing only two episodes. Katherine Heigl plays a lawyer who's in love with her murder suspect client, and nobody seemed to care.

How bad could DOUBT possibly be? And was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are on the case, dissecting both episodes of DOUBT to find out why nobody tuned in, what could have saved the series, and figuring out how this rapidly-canceled series would have ended.

Canceled Too Soon #39 - Space Rangers (1993) Mar 26, 2017

The year was 1993, and STAR TREK ruled the airwaves. That was good news for Trekkies but bad news for SPACE RANGERS. When this blue collar sci-fi series debuted, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION was still on the air and STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE had only premiered three days earlier. Audiences just weren't interested in watching SPACE RANGERS, a lower budgeted series that was aired out of order, so it was hard to even tell what was going on.

SPACE RANGERS lasted only six episodes, but was it... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to walk you through the intergalactic adventures of this ragtag band of misfits, who fight aliens, defend aliens, annoy aliens and are annoyed by aliens in a television series created by Pen Densham (ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES). How cheap was this cheap, cheap show? And was it really as bad as it looked?

Canceled Too Soon #38 - Manimal (1983) Mar 19, 2017

In the history of television, there are few shows that have a more embarrassing reputation than MANIMAL, an NBC series that ran for eight short episodes in 1983, and starred Simon MacCorkindale as a crimefighter who turns into a panther, a hawk, and any other animal the situation requires. Audiences balked, critics laughed, and MANIMAL became a pop culture punchline that endures to this very day.

But was MANIMAL... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are on the case! They're breaking down every absurd episode of MANIMAL and giving this infamous dud the critical attention it was always denied, asking the important questions about animal transformations that nobody ever asked (probably). Plus, they've also tracked down the episode of the long-forgotten superhero series NIGHTMAN which - fifteen years after the cancelation of MANIMAL - finally wrapped up the superhero's story... badly.

Canceled Too Soon #37 - Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures (1992) Mar 11, 2017

The cult comedies BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE and BILL AND TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY got turned into a short-lived live-action sitcom in the early 1990s! The pilot was written by the creators of BETTER OFF DEAD and SEX AND THE CITY, and the series found the lovable goofballs traveling back in time to learn how to rock from Elvis Presley, how to woo ladies from Casanova, and how to do math from Albert Einstein.

BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES only lasted seven episodes on Fox in 1992, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold delve into this forgotten television series to figure out what went wrong, what went right, and why one of these episodes is hopelessly and offensively ignorant.

Fifty years ago, hundreds of Alcatraz inmates disappeared. Now, the most notorious criminals in American history are loose in San Francisco, where a tough cop and a comic book nerd team up to find them and discover the real story behind their magic silver blood and super-duper mystery keys. ALCATRAZ was a weird, weird, weird show from Bad Robot, the makers of LOST, that was canceled after only one short season.

But was ALCATRAZ... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are on the case! They'll track down every awesome ALCATRAZ guest star - like MR. ROBOT's Rami Malek, MOONLIGHT's Mahershala Ali and LUKE CAGE's Theo Rossi - and delve into every one of this series' lingering mysteries. Was ALCATRAZ a good cop show that suffered from too many prison drama flashbacks? Was it a good prison drama that suffered from too many cop show flashforwards? We're about to find out.

David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker took the comedy world by storm with AIRPLANE! in 1980, and two years later they brought their rapid-fire signature schtick to ABC with POLICE SQUAD!, a parody of self-serious cop shows starring Leslie Nielsen as Lt. Frank Drebin, a cop who lives in a wacky world where nobody knows how silly they are.

POLICE SQUAD! became a cult favorite and eventually spawned three blockbuster spin-off movies called THE NAKED GUN, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold have invited 80s All Over co-host Drew McWeeny to help explain the history of POLICE SQUAD!, why it's better than THE NAKED GUN and why Drew McWeeny picked a fight with William Bibbiani on the Movie Trivia Schmoedown.

Canceled Too Soon #34 - X-Men (1989) Feb 19, 2017

They're some of the most popular superheroes ever created, but before a hit animated series and blockbuster film franchise turned the X-Men into a household name, they were featured in PRYDE OF THE X-MEN, a pilot episode for a different animated series that failed to take off. Back in the late 1980s/early 1990s, X-MEN was one of the most legendary failed pilots ever, even though it got a lot of things wrong, like making Logan (a.k.a. Wolverine) really, really, REALLY... Australian?

But was X-MEN... canceled too soon? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they take you back in time to when Saturday morning cartoons ruled the landscape, when Marvel made MUPPET BABIES and when an impressively animated show like PRYDE OF THE X-MEN just wasn't good enough (apparently). Weird details, unexpected trivia and lots of overthinking it abound in this all new episode of CANCELED TOO SOON!

Canceled Too Soon #33 - Point Pleasant (2005) Feb 13, 2017

After BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER got canceled, fans found a new destination for teen supernatural horror: POINT PLEASANT, a soap opera about the antichrist, co-created by Marti Noxon (BUFFY) and John J. McLaughlin (BLACK SWAN), starring Elizabeth Harnois, Grant Show, Dina Meyer and - before they got really famous - Aaron Paul and Jon Hamm. It's a strange series, full of teen angst and religious anxiety, and nowadays it's got quite a cult following.

POINT PLEASANT was originally canceled after only eight episodes, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to analyze all the sexy subplots, ponder the significance of apocalyptic imagery, complain about the stupid dance competition episode, and debate whether POINT PLEASANT was a soap opera that got hijacked by horror storylines, or a horror show that spent too much time trying to be a soap opera.

It was called DRAGON HALF, its four episode OVA release was canceled after just two episodes, and it's developed an enormous reputation for being funny as hell thanks to anime fans around the world.

But was this satirical saga about a half-girl, half-dragon on a quest to romance a singing dragon slayer... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are joined this week by author and artist Michelle Lopes to explain what the heck this wacky anime series was, how the anime medium works, and why DRAGON HALF is still remembered to this day. It's a weird and wild show packed with pop culture jokes and naughty fan service, and we think you're going to be fascinated by it.

Canceled Too Soon #31 - Casablanca (1983) Jan 30, 2017

You must remember this: a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh, and nothing is sacred in Hollywood. Even the classic drama CASABLANCA became a short-lived television series (for the second time) courtesy of NBC and the producer of WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY in 1983, starring David Soul (STARSKY AND HUTCH), Hector Elizondo (PRETTY WOMAN) and a young Ray Liotta (GOODFELLAS).

Maybe a television prequel to CASABLANCA was a good idea, maybe it wasn't, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take you on a trip back to the 1980s (and the 1940s) to relive the wonders of the original CASABLANCA and not-so-wonders of the tv series, which only lasted five episodes. Was it because they kept remaking the same episode over and over and over and over again? Maybe. Was it because this series makes more sense as a sequel than a prequel? Maybe...

Canceled Too Soon #30 - The 100 Lives of Black Jack Savage (1991) Jan 15, 2017

It's one of the weirdest shows in the history of television, about a hero based explicitly on Donald Trump, who buys a haunted mansion in the Caribbean and teams up with the ghost of a black pirate who was lynched for freeing slaves. Together they jump in their high-tech superboat and solve crimes in THE 100 LIVES OF BLACK JACK SAVAGE, a series brought to you by Walt Disney, super-producer Stephen J. Cannell (creator of THE A-TEAM and 21 JUMP STREET), and writers Glen Morgan and James Wong (THE X-FILES, FINAL DESTINATION).

It's one of the most confusing, bizarre, and at least arguably racist and sexist television shows we've ever seen. But was THE 100 LIVES OF BLACK JACK SAVAGE... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to guide you through all seven episodes of this forgotten curiosity, point out all the incredible ways this series presaged the rise of Donald Trump, and wonder aloud at how a show with monsters that look like the back half of a rat with chicken talons ever made it to the air in the first place.

Canceled Too Soon #29 - The Warlord: Battle for the Galaxy, aka The Osiris Chronicles (1998) Jan 08, 2017

What happens when you get the director of GREMLINS and the author of THE ALIENIST together? You get a STAR TREK knockoff called THE OSIRIS CHRONICLES, about a band of rebels trying to fight off an invading army of enlightened philosophers who just want everyone to be nice to each other. It's an outer space series that never got off the ground, but which was eventually released as a Made-For-TV movie called THE WARLORD: BATTLE FOR THE GALAXY.

But was Joe Dante's and Caleb Carr's subversive STAR TREK riff... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to analyze this television oddity and determine once and for all whether THE WARLORD: BATTLE FOR THE GALAXY (a.k.a. THE OSIRIS CHRONICLES) deserved a bigger audience, and wonder why the warlord of an entire planet always hangs out on a staircase instead of getting himself an office.

Canceled Too Soon #28 - Rubicon (2010) Jan 02, 2017

Not every AMC series is as successful as MAD MEN, BREAKING BAD and THE WALKING DEAD. Case in point: RUBICON, an ambitious espionage series starring James Badge Dale (IRON MAN THREE) that only lasted one short season in 2010, and which completely switched gears after the pilot episode, transforming from a conspiracy thriller into a workplace drama that occasionally remembered it used to be a conspiracy thriller.

Critics loved it, audiences ignored it, and now the time has to come to ask if RUBICON really was CANCELED TOO SOON. Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they unravel RUBICON's mysteries, bicker about the characters, grouse about the show's anticlimactic "conclusion" and, finally, read and respond to more of your letters.

Canceled Too Soon #27 - Of Kings and Prophets (2016) Dec 24, 2016

The success of HBO's GAME OF THRONES has led to a lot of expensive, epic, violent and sex-filled television shows, but none were less successful than OF KINGS AND PROPHETs, the ABC series that told the story of King Saul (Ray Winstone) and David (Olly Rix), was expected to be a huge audience draw, and which only lasted two episodes.

Who could have foreseen the failure of OF KINGS AND PROPHETS? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are here to take a close look at this biblical misfire, to analyze its place in religious cinema, and to consider OF KINGS AND PROPHETS deserved to last more than two measly episodes.

Canceled Too Soon #26 - Beyond Westworld (1980) Dec 18, 2016

Before there was HBO's WESTWORLD, and after there was Michael Crichton's WESTWORLD, there was the short-lived television series BEYOND WESTWORLD. Jim McMullan and Connie Selecca star as Delos agents who are tracking down realistic robots that have been unleashed on the world by a mad scientist, played by James Wainwright. Will they be able to foil his nefarious scheme to take over nuclear submarines, football teams and rock bands?

We'll never know, because unlike the HBO series, BEYOND WESTWORLD was canceled after only three episodes. But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are on the case, reviewing all five BEYOND WESTWORLD installments, including two that were filmed but never shown on television! Listen up and you'll find out if BEYOND WESTWORLD as really weird as it sounds, and whether it holds a candle to the original movie or to the acclaimed HBO series.

Canceled Too Soon #25 - Baffled! (1973) Dec 11, 2016

What did Leonard Nimoy do after the STAR TREK television series but before the STAR TREK movies? He was BAFFLED! It's a feature-length pilot for an NBC mystery series, in which Leonard Nimoy plays a psychic race car driver solving mysteries in a weird Agatha Christie-like house, along with an alluring female companion played by Susan Hampshire.

This funky fantasy never went to series, but was BAFFLED!... canceled too soon? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they probe the pilot of BAFFLED! for its many secrets, ponder the sultry sensuality of Leonard Nimoy, read some of your emails and fall down the never-ending rabbit hole of fan theories.

Canceled Too Soon #24 - Profit (1996) Dec 04, 2016

It's one of the most infamous shows in TV history, a series that only lasted four episodes in 1996 before ratings and controversy shut it down. It's PROFIT, a cynical and disturbing drama about a sociopathic businessman who will stop at nothing to get ahead, indulging in sex, drugs, murder, blackmail and worse to become President of Acquisitions at a multibillionaire company. Critics raved, audiences refused, and one of our most requested episodes was born.

But was PROFIT really canceled too soon? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they audit this cult classic series, and decide once and for all if PROFIT was really ahead of its time... and how it's currently way behind the times today. Was it insightful or shallow? Empowering or sexist? And where would the story of PROFIT have gone if the show continued, and how close did we really come to a crossover between PROFIT and ANGEL?

Canceled Too Soon #23 - Young MacGyver (2003) Nov 27, 2016

The old MACGYVER ran for seven seasons and two tv movies. The new MACGYVER is one of the biggest hits of the 2016 television season. But between those two action series, all but forgotten to history, was YOUNG MACGYVER... a failed pilot starring SUPERNATURAL's Jared Padalecki as the scientist secret agent's nephew, who makes life-saving gadgets out of portable propane stoves because he's MacGyver, and participates in ill-advised fast food eating contests because he's "young."

The ABC series YOUNG MACGYVER never went to series, but could it be that this series was... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they analyze the myth of MACGYVER, decide what makes a tv series "MacGyver" or not, and decide just how lame "cool" kids from the early 2000s really were. (They also announce the winner of their first-ever sweepstakes, who will get to pick a one-season wonder tv series this podcast will cover in the coming weeks.)

Canceled Too Soon #22 - Guilt (2016) Nov 22, 2016

An Irish prostitute has been found murdered, and the Russian mafia, the prince of England, a mentally unstable tailor and Billy Zane are somehow involved. When an American teenager gets fingered, everybody goes nuts and nobody is innocent. That's the set-up for GUILT, the short-lived mystery series from Freeform that tried to be the next SCANDAL but wound up playing more like JIM HENSON'S DYNASTY BABIES.

To top it all off, GUILT ended on a huge cliffhanger. So was it CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they untangle all the threads from this violent tapestry of unlaundered brassieres, unveil the secrets of the show, and figure out where it would have gone if the show had continued. Why couldn't GUILT find an audience? And should we feel guilty that it didn't?

Canceled Too Soon #21 - Doctor Strange (1978) Nov 14, 2016

Before the Marvel Studios movies you know and love, there were a lot of Marvel superhero movies that nobody remembers. Case in point: DOCTOR STRANGE, a 1978 made-for-tv movie starring Peter Hooten (ORCA) as an oversexed psychologist who does battle with Lurch from THE ADDAMS FAMILY and Jessica Walter, the mom from ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, who plans to seduce him for Cthlulhu (more or less).

The TV movie based on DOCTOR STRANGE never became a series, but was it... canceled too soon? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they look back at this odd Marvel superhero novelty item, and as as they debate demonic social circles and wonder where popular culture officially went wrong.

Canceled Too Soon #20 - Sam & Max: Freelance Police!!! (1997-1998) Nov 06, 2016

Sam and Max are a dog and a rabbity thing. They are freelance police. And they are completely insane. The award-winning comic strip by Steve Purcell became a series of hit video games from LucasArts and Telltale Games and, from 1997 to 1998, an animated Saturday morning cartoon series that ripped rationality a new one and riddled kids full of wildly inappropriate humor. It was SAM AND MAX: FREELANCE POLICE!!!, and it didn't last.

But was SAM AND MAX: FREELANCE POLICE!!!... canceled too soon? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they take a look back at the cult favorite cartoon series, and hold court over whether SAM AND MAX was ahead of its time or too maddening for its own good. The answers aren't going to come easily, folks. (And then there was the time Witney swallowed a wallet!)

Canceled Too Soon #19 - Tales from the Far Side (1994) Oct 29, 2016

In the 1980s and 1990s, Gary Larson's THE FAR SIDE was one of the most popular comic strips in the world, selling books and calendars and infiltrating the pop culture consciousness. The strip was such a hit that CBS produced a Halloween special in 1994, just a few months before Gary Larson retired, and it was a morbid and experimental animated short filled with death and dismemberment.

It may not have been a TV series, but nobody talks about TALES FROM THE FAR SIDE anymore, it's out of print on home video, and it never shows up on television. So was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold talk you through the strange THE FAR SIDE animated show that brings Gary Larson's popular comic strips to life, and adds macabre new tales to its legacy.

Canceled Too Soon #18 - Nightmare Cafe (1992) Oct 24, 2016

Wes Craven, the master of horror, was famous for creating classic horror movies like A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, SCREAM and THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. He was significantly less famous for co-creating NIGHTMARE CAFE, a 1992 television series starring Jack Coleman (HEROES), Lindsay Frost (CROSSING JORDAN) and Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger himself) as employees of a magic nightmare cafe that travels around the world meting out paranormal poetic justice.

NIGHTMARE CAFE has an impressive pedigree but only six episodes to its credit, so was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they delve into every episode of NIGHTMARE CAFE, try to solve its unknown mysteries, examine the show's strange quasi-connection to DOCTOR WHO, and ponder the legacy of the late, great Wes Craven.

Canceled Too Soon #17 - Cry Baby Lane (2000) Oct 15, 2016

It's not just a film, it's a legend. In the year 2000, the feature-length Halloween special CRY BABY LANE debuted on Nickelodeon and was immediately pulled off the airwaves, allegedly after parents complained that the film - about a young boy who accidentally raises the ghost of a conjoined, but severed twin - was too violent for children. CRY BABY LANE vanished for years, becoming a horrifying creepypasta in the process.

But was it... canceled too soon? Your hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are joined by Rebekah McKendry from Blumhouse.com and the Shock Waves podcast to examine this spooky-wooky Halloween special and decide once and for all if the creepypasta is real. Is CRY BABY LANE the most terrifying film in history, or was it just a weird and forgotten experiment from the hallowed halls of Nickelodeon?

Canceled Too Soon #16 - Dracula: The Series (1990-1991) Oct 09, 2016

Why was there never a LOST BOYS or MONSTER SQUAD television series? It's probably because DRACULA: THE SERIES had it covered. This one season wonder co-starred Mia Kirshner (THE L WORD) and Geraint Wyn Davies (FOREVER KNIGHT), and was about a pair of plucky American kids living with their uncle Gustav Van Helsing, next door to "Alexander Lucard," a.k.a. Dracula. They fight the forces of darkness by breaking into Dracula's house every single week, foiling the evil hell beast's plans to buy failing movie houses, hire Brooklyn psychics, and eat all the poppy seeds he can handle.

DRACULA: THE SERIES was a weird, weird show, but was it... canceled too soon? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they exhume every single episode of this mostly forgotten horror series, try to figure what the heck a "time hole" is, and read a few of your letters. Was DRACULA: THE SERIES a cult classic that doesn't have a cult yet, or does it deserve to fall into the cracks of history? You'll find out in this week's episode!

Canceled Too Soon #15 - The Halloween That Almost Wasn't (1979) Oct 02, 2016

The witch is going on strike unless her demands are met in THE HALLOWEEN THAT ALMOST WASN'T, a.k.a. THE NIGHT DRACULA SAVED THE WORLD, an award-winning holiday special from 1979 that aired on the Disney Channel every year until the mid-1990s. It's a goofy short that stars Judd Hirsch as Dracula, Mariette Hartley as The Witch and Henry Gibson as Igor, and to some of us, it's a nostalgic classic.

But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? This Halloween special may not have been a pilot for a television series but it used to play in heavy rotation each October, and now it's hard to find. Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are taking a look back at THE HALLOWEEN THAT ALMOST WASN'T to see it lives up to its reputation, or if it's just too ridiculous to work as entertainment today.

Canceled Too Soon #14 - On the Air (1992) Sep 25, 2016

One year after the cancelation of TWIN PEAKS, the incredible team of David Lynch and Mark Frost got back together for a television series that didn't take America by storm. It was called ON THE AIR, and it reunited many of the cast members from TWIN PEAKS to help tell the story of a wacky 1950s variety show that becomes a hit entirely by accident.

It's one of the strangest sitcoms in television history, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they look back at the career of David Lynch, and analyze every episode of ON THE AIR episode by episode to find out where it belongs in the filmmaker's canon, and decide once and for all whether it's genuinely funny or just plain odd.

Canceled Too Soon #13 - The Incredible Crash Dummies (1993) Sep 18, 2016

They were created to convince kids to wear their seat belts, but they wound up making car crashes look freakin' awesome. They were THE INCREDIBLE CRASH DUMMIES, a group of wisecracking robots who could explode and put themselves back together again. The toys were a big hit, there was even a video game, and yet the odd pop culture legacy of THE INCREDIBLE CRASH DUMMIES probably hit its apex in 1993 with an animated special, co-written by BETTER OFF DEAD director "Savage" Steve Holland.

Did THE INCREDIBLE CRASH DUMMIES deserve to wind up in the fiery wreckage of television history, or was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they look at this truly strange one-off TV special and decide if the world would have been a better place if more episodes had been produced, and as they try to figure out how the heck the plot of THE INCREDIBLE CRASH DUMMIES makes any sense whatsoever.

Canceled Too Soon #12 - Vinyl (2016) Sep 11, 2016

Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, and HBO. You might think that if you put them all together you'd get the best TV series ever made. Instead you got VINYL, an ambitious and expensive drama about the music industry in the 1970s, which had an impressive cast and an amazing soundtrack, and which only lasted one season before getting canceled.

But was VINYL... canceled too soon? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they dissect the show and figure out what went right, what went wrong, and why VINYL seems so distractingly familiar to fans of MAD MEN and THE NEWSROOM.

Canceled Too Soon #11 - Black Bart (1975) Sep 04, 2016

It was 1975, and Warner Bros. had to do SOMETHING with BLAZING SADDLES or else they'd lose the rights. Their solution: shoot four whole seasons of a sitcom spin-off called BLACK BART, starring future Academy Award-winner Louis Gossett Jr., and only air a single episode. Loopholes! You gotta love 'em!

BLACK BART is one of the weirdest series in TV history, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they delve into the strange saga of BLACK BART, and decide once and for all if the show deserved to be shelved forever or if it deserved to be seen.

Canceled Too Soon #10 - Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos (1986) Aug 28, 2016

Before there was WALKER, TEXAS RANGER, there was CHUCK NORRIS: KARATE KOMMANDOS! Back in 1986, martial arts superstar Chuck Norris hosted and starred in this action-adventure series about the animated adventures of Chuck Norris and Chuck Norris's sidekicks, like Kimo the Samurai Warrior, Tabe the Sumo Champion (he really likes food!) and the world's most annoying sidekick, Too Much.

Together, they are CHUCK NORRIS: KARATE KOMMANDOS, and they fight The Claw and The Super Ninja, who has a lifelong grudge against Chuck Norris for reasons never revealed, because CHUCK NORRIS: KARATE KOMMANDOS only lasted five episodes.

So was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they overanalyze every episode of this ridiculous 1980s kids show and ponder the lasting popularity of Chuck Norris himself.

Two years after he created LAW & ORDER, Dick Wolf co-created a sci-fi cop show about a macho detective and his sexy robot partner.

Canceled Too Soon #8 - Birds of Prey (2002-2003) Aug 01, 2016

It was a dark time - the eight years between BATMAN & ROBIN and BATMAN BEGINS - and The WB decided to fill it with the live-action superhero series BIRDS OF PREY. Created by Laeta Kalogridis (TERMINATOR GENISYS), with many episodes written by Melissa Rosenberg (TWILIGHT, JESSICA JONES), the short-lived BIRDS OF PREY teamed up Batman's daughter, Black Canary's daughter, the former Batgirl and Alfred Pennyworth against a new generation of supervillains in New Gotham, led by the first live-action version of Harley Quinn, played by Mia Sara (FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF).

But was BIRDS OF PREY canceled too soon? Join your hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they pluck away at this cult favorite series, and find out what was ahead of its time and what feels like a relic from the early 2000s. Was BIRDS OF PREY the show we needed, the show we deserved, or just the best we could get in 2002?

Canceled Too Soon #6 - Hot Springs Hotel (1997) Jul 03, 2016

At the height of the "Skinemax" boom of the 1990s, HOT SPRINGS HOTEL reigned supreme. It was a sitcom about oversexed jerks who ran a hotel and solved every problem (that they usually caused themselves) by having sex with it. Constant, very vanilla intercouse abounds as the cast of HOT SPRINGS HOTEL lives out their weird fantasies in their one and only season on Showtime.

But was HOT SPRINGS HOTEL canceled too soon? Your hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold investigate this very strange Skinemax phenomenon, and sit through some very un-erotic episodes as they try to unlock the many mysteries of HOT SPRINGS HOTEL. It's our weirdest episode yet, and you won't want to miss it!

Canceled Too Soon #5 - The Muppets (2015-2016) Jun 20, 2016

Everybody loves The Muppets, so why didn't everybody love THE MUPPETS? The new sitcom starring Jim Henson's popular puppet characters was one of the most anticipated TV shows of the 2015-2016 season, but a series of unusual creative decisions turned off the hardcore fans, and failed to bring in new audiences.

So, what the heck happened to THE MUPPETS? William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are joined by special guest Alonso Duralde of Linoleum Knife (who is a bit hoarse when we recorded, but he got better) to talk about the history of The Muppets, what the new series did right, what it did horribly wrong, and where the franchise can go from here!

Canceled Too Soon #4 - Lookwell (1991) Jun 06, 2016

It's one of the most notorious one-episode wonders in television history: LOOKWELL, a sitcom that aired on NBC in July of 1991, and has gone on to become a cult classic.

Created by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel, and starring Adam West (BATMAN) and future Oscar nominee Todd Field (IN THE BEDROOM), the sitcom is about a former 1970s cop show star (West) who still thinks he's a detective, and uses his acting skills to solve crimes in his spare time. And he has a LOT of spare time.

But did LOOKWELL deserve to last for only one episode, or was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? This week, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a closer look, and make the final call.

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a listener request and review BUCKY O'HARE AND THE TOAD WARS, a cult classic cartoon series based on the comic book by Larry Hama and Michael Golden.

It's the time-honored tale of a pre-teen science nerd who teams up with anthropomorphic animals to save the universe from a race of toads who love bad television, but was it... canceled too soon?

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold journey into the subatomic world of a popcorn kernel, where a sexy robot tells scary stories in PERVERSIONS OF SCIENCE, a spin-off of the popular HBO series TALES FROM THE CRYPT that only lasted for one season.

Was HBO right to cancel PERVERSIONS OF SCIENCE, or was it canceled too soon? Our hosts guide you through every episode of this forgotten anthology series, and rank all ten episodes from worst to best. Some of them are brilliant, some of them are awful, and a lot of them feature weird guest stars like Paul Williams, Wil Wheaton, Sean Astin, Elizabeth Berkeley, Jason Lee, Kevin Pollack, William Shatner and POOCHINSKI's own George Newbern!

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold celebrate their first episode by reviewing a show that only lasted one episode: POOCHINSKI, starring Peter Boyle as a Chicago cop who is reincarnated as an animatronic talking bulldog.
