UnCancelled

UnCancelled

di Brandon Marsdin & Tom Cash
Stagione 1

Pasadena

Esplicito
A mystery soap featuring Alison Lohman, Dana Delaney and Jason Robards. This stems around deep family secrets bubbling to the surface as lies, corruption and deception seemingly run in their blood. Nearly impossible to find, it would fit in well at three am on a Telemundo Sunday morning. This also features Balthazar Getty (nephew of John Paul Getty III) basically playing himself in a staged version of his own family. Guest: Frances Devries

Trophy Wife

Esplicito
Malin Akerman plays a great drunk! Even if this is a bit too comparative to Modern Family, it's still a fun series with well-casted actors including Marcia Gay Harden. Its biggest downfall is perhaps its 22 episode length, a practice which was thankfully phased out some years ago. This may be the only live-action sitcom that we seriously ponder UnCancelling. Guest: Erica & Lea of Hey Sister, Soul Sister

Sweet/Vicious

Esplicito
This 2017 series aired on MTV and had a fun premise about two college students who team up to incapacitate creepers around campus. One is a tech badass and the other is a certified martial artist. The hijinks that ensue keep it fun while it frequently veers in and out of typical MTV teen fluff of today's culture. This proved to be more on the fence than most series this season. Guest : Lindsay Accord

Selfie

Esplicito
Brandon's sister insists this is nothing more than fluff. But he's not convinced there isn't more than meets the eye here. This stars Karen Gillan and is loosely based on "My Fair Lady". She plays a social-media obsessed woman with poor social skills in reality. Completely unlikable and shallow. She hires marketing guru Henry (John Cho) to help teach her how to be more likable and create genuine connections with people in real life. 'Cause there ain't nothing like the real thing. Guest: Natalie Marsdin

Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio

Esplicito
This animated sketch comedy series from one of the writers of South Park is off-the-wall bizarre. Not surprisingly, it aired on Adult Swim. Ultimately, it drowned in its own nonsensical concepts. The show's unusual title, according to Neely, is "intentionally meaningless," being made up of the staff's "favorite collection of syllables." It was originally going to be titled TV Sucks. I suppose that would've been a little too on-the-nose… It features guests such as Lizzo, Gabby Sidibe, and Father John Misty. Guest: Elliott Richardson

Undeclared

Esplicito
This short-lived Judd Apatow series stars Jay Baruchel as Steve, who is entering his first semester of college. Upon moving into his dorm, he is quick to make friends including roommate Englishman Lloyd (Charlie Hunnam) and girlfriend Lizzie (Carla Gallo). As well as dorm mate Ron (Seth Rogen) and Steve's newly-divorced, mid-life crisis experiencing dad. Jason Segel rounds out this cast as Lizzie's obsessive ex-boyfriend Eric. The best part? All episodes are available to stream on YouTube. How can we not UnCancel it? Guest: David from Shoenen Flop Follow David on Twitter @shonenflopcast and his site http://shonenflop.com/.

Tuca & Bertie

Esplicito
A very oddball show about animated human-like birds among other things like a 8 foot tall plant lady. Nonetheless, it gives it the freedom to be as silly as possible while staying within it's own narrative. And also having acute social commentary. It's irreverent, it's hilarious and it was cancelled by Netflix. Thankfully, its brilliance was recognized and it is entering in its third season on Cartoon Network. Guest: Cyrus Chase

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

Esplicito
Purposefully bad production and story quality. This show is the perfect parody of hospital dramas mixed with 80's horror comedy. It's like a British Cronenberg mixed with General Hospital. Technically speaking I don't think it was ever cancelled because I don't think there was ever the intention to have more than what we got. Guest: Michael Kinkley from Story Time with Tom and Mike

Kings

Esplicito
Some then-and-now familiar faces as this features Ian McShane (Deadwood, John Wick), AKA TV Pacino and Sebastian Stan (Pam & Tommy, Captain America). It's a modern retelling of the classic David Vs. Goliath story. This time Goliath is a beast of a military tank and the future King David is a soldier, played by Christopher Egan aka TV Matt Damon (not to be confused with Jesse "Meth Damon" Plemons). The pilot and finale both are featured in 2 parts and clock in around FOUR total hours. Which might just have been its downfall. Guest: Sirr Sterill of My Movie Mix

Grosse Pointe

Esplicito
For coming out at the turn of the millennium, this show is extremely meta and is somehow timeless while also being very of the year 2000. The Truman Show style show-within-a-show format is taken and applied to a soap opera as creator Darren Star sends up his own experiences working on 90's teen dramas Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place. The best part is all episodes are available for viewing on YouTube. Guest: Jack Moody from The Neighbors Upstairs
