A smorgasbord of outtakes, bloopers and conversations that otherwise didn't fit with our topical approach delivered at a feverish pace.
-
In this bonus episode, we review the original finale of "Bunheads" and discuss if it actually did make the show that much better. Joining Brandon is recurring guest Mike (Everything Sucks, Darkplace).

Episodes manquant?

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".

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
-
This tv spin-off of the popular novel-turned-film "Out of Sight" casts Carla Gugino in the J-Lo role.
While Gugino is undoubtedly beautiful, she isn't given too much to do beyond random, clichè storylines that leave much to be desired.
Marshall Sisco (Robert Forster), her private eye father, is given the more interesting stories, and by the final episode has more-or-less been given the main storyline, leaving Karen Sisco a side-character in her own show.
Guest: Brion Salazar of Around Comics!
-
Peter Serafinowicz is an absolute scene-stealer and the best part of this show.
Series creator Mitch Hurowitz basically copied his own Arrested Development, right down to Keri Russel looking similar to Portia De Rossi. However it ultimately falls short as Will Arnett simply doesn't have the charm of Jason Bateman.
Will Arnett also seems to be the only person upset it was cancelled.
Guest: Tony Crumb from God Chat

On the surface, this appears to have nothing to do with the beer or A Streetcar Named Desire. But, Edward Norton makes a cameo only a few years removed from working with Marlon Brando. So, maybe that's an Easter egg or a serious stretch on our part.
This niche sketch comedy series aired on Comedy Central in 2005. Giving TV time to former cast members of MTV'S The State and long-time sketch troupe Stella consisting of Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain.
Buffoonery in Suit-ery.
Guest: Sharaell Hormos
-
A White House parody during the initial tenure of George Dubya created by Trey Parker & Matt Stone.
It's friggin' hilarious and we're disappointed to know the spin-off never happened due to 9/11.
The pilot includes a hilarious meeting between President George and a failed abortion fetus. The finale is no letdown either, as we get several vignettes of George in popular sitcom parodies after being fired from The White House.
What a Dick!

This was one of the shows that was greenlit among the boom in mystery/sci-fi/drama brought on by the success of Lost.
Starring Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love) and John Cho (Harold & Kumar), this features some horrible dialogue and bad CGI as well as Baywatch-style slow-mo (sadly Joe Fiennes is not in a red swimsuit).
Our guests for this episode, however, felt a little differently. It might just be UnCancelled after all.
Guest: Pattie Lee and Bill Larson from The Watchlist with Pattie & Bill
-
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
-
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
-
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.

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.

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

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?

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
-
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
-
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.
