  • Canceled Too Soon #64 - Emerald City (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)

    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)

    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)

    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)

    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.
