  • Canceled Too Soon #8 - Birds of Prey (2002-2003)

    It was a dark time - the eight years between BATMAN & ROBIN and BATMAN BEGINS - and The WB decided to fill it with the live-action superhero series BIRDS OF PREY. Created by Laeta Kalogridis (TERMINATOR GENISYS), with many episodes written by Melissa Rosenberg (TWILIGHT, JESSICA JONES), the short-lived BIRDS OF PREY teamed up Batman's daughter, Black Canary's daughter, the former Batgirl and Alfred Pennyworth against a new generation of supervillains in New Gotham, led by the first live-action version of Harley Quinn, played by Mia Sara (FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF).

    But was BIRDS OF PREY canceled too soon? Join your hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they pluck away at this cult favorite series, and find out what was ahead of its time and what feels like a relic from the early 2000s. Was BIRDS OF PREY the show we needed, the show we deserved, or just the best we could get in 2002?

  • Canceled Too Soon #6 - Hot Springs Hotel (1997)

    At the height of the "Skinemax" boom of the 1990s, HOT SPRINGS HOTEL reigned supreme. It was a sitcom about oversexed jerks who ran a hotel and solved every problem (that they usually caused themselves) by having sex with it. Constant, very vanilla intercouse abounds as the cast of HOT SPRINGS HOTEL lives out their weird fantasies in their one and only season on Showtime.

    But was HOT SPRINGS HOTEL canceled too soon? Your hosts William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold investigate this very strange Skinemax phenomenon, and sit through some very un-erotic episodes as they try to unlock the many mysteries of HOT SPRINGS HOTEL. It's our weirdest episode yet, and you won't want to miss it!

  • Canceled Too Soon #5 - The Muppets (2015-2016)

    Everybody loves The Muppets, so why didn't everybody love THE MUPPETS? The new sitcom starring Jim Henson's popular puppet characters was one of the most anticipated TV shows of the 2015-2016 season, but a series of unusual creative decisions turned off the hardcore fans, and failed to bring in new audiences.

    So, what the heck happened to THE MUPPETS? William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are joined by special guest Alonso Duralde of Linoleum Knife (who is a bit hoarse when we recorded, but he got better) to talk about the history of The Muppets, what the new series did right, what it did horribly wrong, and where the franchise can go from here!

  • Canceled Too Soon #4 - Lookwell (1991)

    It's one of the most notorious one-episode wonders in television history: LOOKWELL, a sitcom that aired on NBC in July of 1991, and has gone on to become a cult classic.

    Created by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel, and starring Adam West (BATMAN) and future Oscar nominee Todd Field (IN THE BEDROOM), the sitcom is about a former 1970s cop show star (West) who still thinks he's a detective, and uses his acting skills to solve crimes in his spare time. And he has a LOT of spare time. 

    But did LOOKWELL deserve to last for only one episode, or was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? This week, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a closer look, and make the final call.
