In 1968, Disney introduced the world to HERBIE THE LOVE BUG, an anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle who won races, warmed hearts, and starred in six feature-length, live-action motion pictures over the course of nearly 50 years. But most people forget that Herbie also starred in a Disney Channel television series in 1982... possibly because it's one of the most milquetoast television series ever made.
In HERBIE, THE LOVE BUG, the little car cancels his racing career to settle down with a family in the suburbs. But was he... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take this long-forgotten TV show for a spin to find out whether it still runs, or whether it needs to be taken back to the junk heap.

The 1970s didn't get much funkier than THE PERSUADERS! This short-lived action/adventure series starred Roger Moore (just before he became James Bond) and Tony Curtis (just before his career hit the skids) as two dapper, selfish millionaires who solve murders, stop conspiracies and seduce every human being in Europe.
It was a huge globetrotting adventure starring two of the sexiest stars in movie and television history, but was THE PERSUADERS! really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take you back to the Swingin' Seventies and try to figure out why THE PERSUADERS! still has a cult following, what the show did wrong, and how mad times Roger Moore and Tony Curtis could possibly stumble across dead bodies in the woods (hint: it's a LOT).

Theme Song: "The C2S Team" by Andy Hentz
Sammy Davis Jr. plays a demon trying to buy Jack Klugman's soul in POOR DEVIL, a TV comedy in the tradition of BEWITCHED and I DREAM OF JEANNIE with a hellish little twist. Christopher Lee plays Lucifer and Adam West plays Klugman's despicable boss, but despite that phenomenal cast the pilot for POOR DEVIL wasn't picked up for series.
It's a devilishly fun idea, but was POOR DEVIL really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a deep dive into hell itself to figure out how this TV curio came about, what makes it work, what made it fail, and why it's got one of the funkiest theme songs we've ever reviewed!

You've never seen a show like STEEL JUSTICE. It's a live-action prime time TV pilot about an ancient immortal who searches for people who can transform stuff into bigger stuff, and who tracks down a cop whose dead son has possessed a robot dinosaur. Now, that cop needs to transform his dead robot dinosaur son into a giant robot dinosaur who breathes fire and kills bad guys.
STEEL JUSTICE might very well be the weirdest, dumbest television series we have ever reviewed. But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are on the case, outlining every single baffling element of this failed television pilot, and trying to figure out how the hell anyone thought it could ever work as a television series.
