  • Canceled Too Soon #59 - Game Over (2004)

    "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)

    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!

  • Canceled Too Soon #57 - The Defenders of Dynatron City (1992)

    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? Find out when film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review THE DEFENDERS OF DYNATRON CITY in all of its mutagen slurping, rocket head decapitating, robot dancing glory. It's one of the weirdest superhero shows in history. Now let's find out if it was one of the best.

  • Canceled Too Soon #56 - Whiz Kids (1983-1984)

    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. You won't want to miss this episode!

  • Canceled Too Soon #55 - Cliffhangers! (1979)

    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. (Hint: It aired opposite HAPPY DAYS.)
