  • Canceled Too Soon #100 - Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000)

    It's the series that jumpstarted the careers of Judd Apatow, Paul Feig, Linda Cardellini, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, James Franco, Samm Levine, John Francis Daley, Samm Levine, Martin Starr and Busy Philipps. It's FREAKS AND GEEKS, and it's one of the most acclaimed television shows of all time.

    Indeed, (almost) everyone agrees that FREAKS AND GEEKS was... CANCELED TOO SOON! And this week, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are joined by FREAKS AND GEEKS co-star Samm Levine to talk about what made this cult favorite series so special, where the show would have gone had it stayed on the air, and more!

  • Canceled Too Soon #99 - Selfie (2014)

    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)

    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)

    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!
