Podcast / Canceled Too Soon

"The history of television is a history of failure. For every series that lasted years and years, there are dozens that lasted only one season or less. But did they deserve to die? Or were they... Canceled Too Soon?"

Canceled Too Soon is a podcast hosted by film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold that is devoted to reviewing television series that lasted one season or less, as well as assorted unique one-off TV specials which have since faded into semi-obscurity.

The show tends to alternate between well-known bombs and more obscure series that may not have had a proper opportunity to gather an audience, and as such have covered a range of material such as action/adventure, game shows, animated shorts, and epic miniseries, among many others.

The show releases semi-regular episodes here and here (previously here and here), while subscribers to the show's Patreon page receive those as well as reviews of content that doesn't necessarily fit into the show's typical parameters.

Tropes featured on this Podcast include:

• Androids and Detectives: March 2018 was dedicated entirely to reviewing shows about cops with robot partners.
• Author Appeal: By their own admission, Bibbs and Witney cover a lot of anthology shows and 80s-90s sci-fi because they really enjoy those genres.
• Bile Fascination: invoked A major appeal of the podcast. Bibbs often points out that when listeners are given the option to vote on an series to review, the winning option will almost inevitability end up being the one that looks like it will be the most painful.
• Crossover: Annually with LKTV, reviewing Christmas-related media.
• Department of Redundancy Department: In the Inhumans episode, after Bibbs calls the Reb Brown Captain America films the worst Marvel adaptation he had ever seen:
  Bibbs: It's worse than Fantastic Four! It's worse than the other Fantastic Four! It's worse than the other Fantastic Four! It's worse than the other Fantastic Four!
• Early-Installment Weirdness: The first season included reviews of standalone TV movies and specials that would later be given separate reviews as part of The Canceled Too Soon Monthly Movie.
• Formula-Breaking Episode: Occasionally, the show will do an installment of "The Randomizer", where William and Witney watch a randomly-selected episode of a long-running TV show neither has ever seen and try to uncover the appeal of the show with the help of a guest who is a fan. So far, installments of The Randomizer have covered episodes of Desperate Housewives, Gilmore Girls, Psych, and The Vampire Diaries.
• Joke and Receive: While discussing Polaroid during the "Worst Of 2019" episode, Witney claims that instead of the usual You Have to Believe Me! moment when trying to convince the cops that a supernatural artifact is wreaking havoc, he'd just once would like to see the cops take the protagonists seriously only for them to still be useless because the supernatural division of the police department is just as bureaucratic and backlogged as the rest of the police. This is quite similar to the basic premise of Control.
• Once an Episode: The end of each episode has the hosts deciding if the show in question was indeed canceled too soon, and sometimes speculating where the show might have gone had it lasted 100 episodes.
• Once a Season: Every May has an episode devoted to the Canceled Too Soon Awards, when the hosts and listeners look back at the shows reviewed over the last year and vote on the best and worst of the bunch.
• Pilot Movie: Many of the episodes cover pilots that aired as Made-for-TV movies. Some of the shows featured TV movies at their start as well.
• Re-Release Soundtrack: Often discussed — many of the shows reviewed were made before home video releases for TV shows had become mainstream, and as a result, some of the episodes have different soundtracks than they had when originally aired. Birds of Prey (2002) was a particularly noteworthy example.
• Retool: in 2020, The Canceled Too Soon Monthly Movie podcast was reworked into "Not On Disney+", focused on reviewing TV movies, miniseries, and specials produced by Disney that are nevertheless not available on their streaming service.
• Special Guest:
  • Rebekah McKendry from Blumhouse appeared on the episode reviewing Darknet
  • Film critic Alonso Duralde appeared on the episodes reviewing The Muppets (2015) and My Mother the Car, as well as the crossovers with his own podcast LKTV.
  • Drew McWeeney, host of the podcast 80s All Over, appeared on the episode reviewing Police Squad!.
  • Scott Mantz of Access Hollywood appeared on the episode reviewing Battlestar Galactica.
  • Jenna Busch, founder of the website Legion of Leia, appears on the Wonder Woman episode.
  • Brianne Drouhard, who created the series Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld, appeared on the episode reviewing that series.
  • Deadpool (2016) screenwriter Rhett Reese guest stars on the Monthly Movie episode reviewing Lonesome Dove.
  • Actor Samm Levine, who appeared in the shows Selfie and Freaks and Geeks, appeared on the episodes covering them.
• Spanner in the Works: Bibbs's cats Sergio and Luca are often (starting around Season 2) heard interrupting the podcast by fighting or misbehaving, to the point where "Luca, get off the counter!" has become something of a Catchphrase for the show.
• Spin-Off:
  • The podcast was inspired by a segment on the hosts' other (and since ended) podcast The B Movies Podcast, where Bibbs and Witney reviewed the first season of Shadowhunters weekly.
  • The podcast also spun off Critically Acclaimed, a Spiritual Successor to The B Movies Podcast where Bibbs and Witney review newly-released films (and, originally, a historically bad film paired with a historically acclaimed film, a feature that was later reworked into yet another Spin-Off called The Two-Shot) and occasionally discuss pertinent or relevant movie news (especially careers of film luminaries who have recently passed). The podcast originally ran on the Schmoes Knows Network in tandem with Bibbs and Witney's debut as the Critically Acclaimed team on Movie Trivia Schmoedown. The show now runs on its own network feed, which includes Canceled Too Soon and many of the spinoffs listed below.
    • As of March 2020, older films available on streaming services are also being reviewed due to the restrictions on theater-going caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The podcast has several Patreon-exclusive spin-offs of its own:
    • Only the Best: a monthly podcast where Bibbs and Witney review every movie nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture in order by year.
    • All Our Yesterdays: a weekly podcast reviewing every episode of Star Trek in production order.
    • Out of Gas: a weekly podcast reviewing every episode of Firefly in production order.
    • Episode Zero: a podcast analyzing and reviewing the films and other media that inspired famous works, starting with Star Wars before moving on to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
    • My Dinner With My Dinner With Andre: A podcast where the hosts invite friends of theirs to watch and discuss the movie My Dinner with Andre.
    • Wholly Batman!: a podcast reviewing every episode of Batman (1966) story arc by story arc.
