Three years before FOREVER KNIGHT became a hit TV series about a cop who's also a vampire, NICK KNIGHT was a failed TV series about a cop who's also a vampire!

Rick Springfield stars in the original TV movie, which tells the same story as the pilot for FOREVER KNIGHT except with a bigger budget, better music, and also it's much, much, much less popular.

But could it be that NICK KNIGHT was CANCELED TOO SOON? And could it even have been better than FOREVER KNIGHT...?

[NOTE: We had to record this episode remotely, which led to some audio issues which we have fixed to the best of our ability, which is to say, not entirely. Some of the audio may be quieter than usual as a result.]

SCARYTOBER begins!

One week after THE DUCK FACTORY joked about all of Tim Conway's failed TV shows, we've got one of Tim Conway's failed TV shows! Conway stars as ACE CRAWFORD: PRIVATE EYE, a private detective who bumbles his way through various crimes, and only occasionally dresses up in offensive disguises!

It's a spoof comedy in the tradition of POLICE SQUAD, but maybe a little too much in that tradition, because it was also canceled after only a few episodes. But was it CANCELED TOO SOON?

10 Years before Jim Carrey became the biggest star in Hollywood, he was almost the biggest star in television! Jim Carrey starred in a sitcom called THE DUCK FACTORY back in 1984, about a team of wacky animators working at a struggling studio.

If THE DUCK FACTORY had been a hit, Carrey's career might have gone in a very different direction. Could it be that Carrey's biggest early failure was... CANCELED TOO SOON?

You loved his Muppet Christmas special. You loved him when he met God. And you sure as heck loved his mellow country jams. But will you love John Denver when he's KICKING ASS IN ALASKA?

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold ascend to HIGHER GROUND, a failed TV pilot starring relaxing music legend John Denver as a tough FBI agent fighting bootleggers in Alaska!

Can John Denver save Alaska from [checks notes] booze?! And was his show... CANCELED TOO SOON?

You knew this was coming, and if you didn't, well, now you do. The staggeringly expensive TV series STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE - which was about an acolyte, in Star Wars - was just canceled after one season. It was ambitious, and it pissed people off for mostly weird reasons, but some people loved it.

Now the only question is... was it CANCELED TOO SOON?
