UnCancelledExplicit

by Brandon Marsdin & Tom Cash

They say that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and that’s true for a lot of things, including TV. UnCancelled is a series where we explore 21st century shows sent out to pasture after only a single season. Determined to discover why, but not prepared to overly-invest ourselves, we explore the pilot and finale of thirty series from 2000-2020 to see if they truly were past due after one season.

    This is like when Adam Sandler pays for his vacation with his friends by making a film. Except they forgot to hire writers. Where good shows have character building, instead more are added here. It's nice to see a bunch of familiar faces but it would be nicer to see them contributing to a story. As one reviewer put it, "if Gary Busey looking in the mirror was a TV show". My explanation for this episode is about as constructive as an explanation for this show. A far cry from Milch's previous "Deadwood". Guest: Nate from The (Un)American Football Show

    This was when Michelle Wolf was red hot fresh-off her hosting of The President's Ball. Netflix, desperate for fun new content, jumped at the opportunity to give Michelle her own show. Not surprisingly, she shit the bed. There's certainly an audience for these types of shows. I'm not sure Michelle is entirely to blame. But, Netflix inadvertently gave her enough rope to hang herself with. Seriously, who writes as bizarre concept as feeding Amazon's Alexa a lunch meat roll? Especially on a show like this. That's like if Bill Maher filmed himself pooping on Johnny Depp's iPhone while Siri screams "Yummy!" Guest: Novelist Ian Trutt

    This features ABC Family going back to the well for a Johnny Sameface move. In what may be reminiscent of shows such as Lizzie McGuire, comes this series based on the hit movie of the same name. It also features one of the most awkward, abrupt and absurdly hilarious ending to any series that we cover. Possibly among all of television history. And it all seemed so unintentional.

    They really hate this in Australia! Or maybe that's just our mate, Tom, who has a real problem with the way Jason Ritter runs - he should run back to his dad's balls. This is another mystery/action-drama that seemed to come and go in that post-Lost craze bubble. Not much of an event if you ask us. Guest: Tom Croucher of Zesty Life Hacks
