  • Canceled Too Soon #140 - RoboCop: The Series (1994)

    Paul Verhoeven's ROBOCOP defied all expectations to become one of the most celebrated, satirical, action-packed and politically damning motion pictures of the 1990s. So of course it got a live-action TV series in the 1990s, with adorable kid characters and wacky villains!

    ROBOCOP: THE SERIES only lasted one season, and has since been largely forgotten, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a look at this expensive, clever superhero series that tries to turn the subversive sci-fi classic into a slightly less subversive piece of weekly entertainment!

  • Canceled Too Soon #139 - Collector's Item (1957)

    Vincent Price and Peter Lorre are two of the most recognizable icons in movie history, and legends of the horror genre. So it's pretty amazing that they co-starred in a TV pilot called COLLECTOR'S ITEM, in which they play antique dealers who solve mysteries, and hardly anybody's heard of it.

    And just to make it crazier, COLLECTOR'S ITEM co-stars Whitney Blake... the co-creator of the hit series ONE DAY AT A TIME!

    Should COLLECTOR'S ITEM have stayed in a dusty drawer, or was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold look at this impressive-looking series to figure out what worked, what's pretty embarrassing, and whether COLLECTOR'S ITEM deserves a major, big budget reboot!

  • Canceled Too Soon #138 - Blackjack (1998)

    Who know action star Dolph Lundgren as He-Man, Ivan Drago and The Punisher, but do you know he was also a bodyguard with an intense phobia of the color white? That's the plot of BLACKJACK, an ambitious and action-packed backdoor pilot from director John Woo (FACE/OFF, THE KILLER), in which Lundgren protects a little girl and a supermodel from criminals with a HUGE artillery budget.

    It was extremely Dolph Lundgren, and it was extremely John Woo. But was BLACKJACK really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold look back at the history of the two action legends to figure out where BLACKJACK fits in their filmographies, and whether it's any danged good.

  • Canceled Too Soon #137 - John From Cincinnati (2007)

    The night THE SOPRANOS ended, JOHN FROM CINCINNATI began. It didn't last long, but it was probably the most popular supernatural surfing drama in the history of HBO! Austin Nichols stars as a mysterious man who wanders into the life of a troubled all-star surfing family, played by the likes of Bruce Greenwood, Rebecca De Mornay and Brian Van Holt, and then... he confuses them. A lot.

    It's one of the weirdest shows HBO has ever produced, and it still has a loyal cult of followers, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold try to decode JOHN FROM CINCINNATI's hazy meanderings and figure out if it's brilliant, terrible, or just kinda meh!

  • Canceled Too Soon #136 - Benji, Zax & the Alien Prince (1983)

    The lovable dog BENJI starred in a series of hit films across multiple decades, but he only had one TV show, and it was a bizarre hybrid of STAR WARS, THE FUGITIVE and GUMMO. It was called BENJI, ZAX & THE ALIEN PRINCE, it aired Saturday mornings in 1983, and it's one weird watch, we gotta tell ya.

    BENJI, ZAX & THE ALIEN PRINCE is one of the weirdest shows we've reviewed all year, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold look back at this cheap, depressing, almost completely forgotten TV show to give you the answer.

  • Canceled Too Soon #135 - Evel Knievel (1974)

    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!
