  • Canceled Too Soon #75 - Human Target (1992)

    Our very special JUSTICE MONTH OF JUSTICE concludes with a superhero series that pretty much everybody forgot about: HUMAN TARGET, starring rock legend Rick Springfield as a man who can impersonate anybody, and who uses that technology to impersonate the people he saves and get creepy kicks out of living their private lives.

    Rick Springfield wishes he had Jessie's Girl, but does he wish that HUMAN TARGET wasn't... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold dive into the original TV adaptation of HUMAN TARGET to find out what works, what needed work, and why this just might be one of the worst ideas for a superhero show ever.

  • Canceled Too Soon #74 - Amethyst - Princess of Gem World (2013)

    There have been a lot of tv shows based on DC superheroes, but there's never been one quite like AMETHYST - PRINCESS OF GEM WORLD! This short animated series about a teenager dragged into the world of her video game satirized RPG's, anime and the fantasy genre, all while telling the story of a good, old-fashioned heroes journey.

    But was the Cartoon Network/DC Nation series AMETHYST - PRINCESS OF GEM WORLD... canceled too soon?! We've got producer/director Brianne Drouhard in the studio to tell us how the show came to be, what the should would have become, and tons of stories about the production. Join Brianne Drouhard and your hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as our JUSTICE MONTH OF JUSTICE continues!

    And hey! Brianne Drouhard is also the creator of the web comic HARPY GEE! Check out the ongoing tale at HarpyGee.com, and follow Brianne on Twitter at @PotatoFarmGirl!

  • Canceled Too Soon #73 - Aquaman, aka Mercy Reef (2007)

    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.

    MERCY REEF (aka AQUAMAN) never made it past this legendary pilot episode, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? This week, GEEK HISTORY LESSON podcast co-hosts Ashley V. Robinson and Jason Inman join your usual hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold to fish this pilot out of the murk, dissect it, and find out just how close we came to getting a good Aquaman tv series as our JUSTICE MONTH OF JUSTICE continues!

    And hey! Ashley V. Robinson and Jason Inman are also the co-creators of the upcoming comic book JUPITER JET, in stores December 6, 2017! Pre-order it now, and follow them on Twitter at @AshleyVRobinson, @Jawiin, @GHLPodcast and @JupiterJetComic!

  • Canceled Too Soon #72 - The Flash (1990-1991)

    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? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take you deep into all the episodes, guest stars and unexpected connections to shows like BIRDS OF PREY and BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES as their JUSTICE MONTH OF JUSTICE continues!

  • Canceled Too Soon #71 - Justice League of America (1997)

    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! Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they break down the whole episode, moment by moment, and reveal why it failed, and why - maybe - it's not as bad as you've heard.

  • Canceled Too Soon #70 - Kindred: The Embraced (1996)

    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!!
