- Canceled Too Soon #13 - The Incredible Crash Dummies (1993)
They were created to convince kids to wear their seat belts, but they wound up making car crashes look freakin' awesome. They were THE INCREDIBLE CRASH DUMMIES, a group of wisecracking robots who could explode and put themselves back together again. The toys were a big hit, there was even a video game, and yet the odd pop culture legacy of THE INCREDIBLE CRASH DUMMIES probably hit its apex in 1993 with an animated special, co-written by BETTER OFF DEAD director "Savage" Steve Holland.
Did THE INCREDIBLE CRASH DUMMIES deserve to wind up in the fiery wreckage of television history, or was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they look at this truly strange one-off TV special and decide if the world would have been a better place if more episodes had been produced, and as they try to figure out how the heck the plot of THE INCREDIBLE CRASH DUMMIES makes any sense whatsoever.

30 min - Canceled Too Soon #12 - Vinyl (2016)
Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, and HBO. You might think that if you put them all together you'd get the best TV series ever made. Instead you got VINYL, an ambitious and expensive drama about the music industry in the 1970s, which had an impressive cast and an amazing soundtrack, and which only lasted one season before getting canceled.
But was VINYL... canceled too soon? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they dissect the show and figure out what went right, what went wrong, and why VINYL seems so distractingly familiar to fans of MAD MEN and THE NEWSROOM.

59 min - Canceled Too Soon #11 - Black Bart (1975)
It was 1975, and Warner Bros. had to do SOMETHING with BLAZING SADDLES or else they'd lose the rights. Their solution: shoot four whole seasons of a sitcom spin-off called BLACK BART, starring future Academy Award-winner Louis Gossett Jr., and only air a single episode. Loopholes! You gotta love 'em!
BLACK BART is one of the weirdest series in TV history, but was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they delve into the strange saga of BLACK BART, and decide once and for all if the show deserved to be shelved forever or if it deserved to be seen.

40 min - Canceled Too Soon #10 - Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos (1986)
Before there was WALKER, TEXAS RANGER, there was CHUCK NORRIS: KARATE KOMMANDOS! Back in 1986, martial arts superstar Chuck Norris hosted and starred in this action-adventure series about the animated adventures of Chuck Norris and Chuck Norris's sidekicks, like Kimo the Samurai Warrior, Tabe the Sumo Champion (he really likes food!) and the world's most annoying sidekick, Too Much.
Together, they are CHUCK NORRIS: KARATE KOMMANDOS, and they fight The Claw and The Super Ninja, who has a lifelong grudge against Chuck Norris for reasons never revealed, because CHUCK NORRIS: KARATE KOMMANDOS only lasted five episodes.
So was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they overanalyze every episode of this ridiculous 1980s kids show and ponder the lasting popularity of Chuck Norris himself.

1 hr 16 min - Canceled Too Soon #9 - Mann & Machine (1992)
Two years after he created LAW & ORDER, Dick Wolf co-created a sci-fi cop show about a macho detective and his sexy robot partner. MANN & MACHINE co-stars David Andrews and Yancy Butler as "Mann" and the machine, respectively, as they solve mysteries about far-fetched futuristic concepts like computerized dating services and a multi-year drought in Los Angeles.
But, was MANN & MACHINE canceled too soon? Join your hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they poke around inside MANN & MACHINE's chassis, ponder the complexities of artificial intelligence and fantasize about a future world in which donuts are healthy and LaserDiscs are alive and well and still the home video format of choice.
