Cancelled Shows That Need An Animated Series

About this episode

The episode discusses the top 3 cancelled shows that deserve an animated series.

Not that anybody asked but this week we dusted off the DVDs and redrew the storyboards because we're figuring out our Top 3 Cancelled Shows That Need An Animated Series. Inspired by the news that Firefly is once again refusing to stay cancelled, we’re asking which shows deserve a second life but with fewer limits and a lot more animated chaos. Which cult classics would actually thrive without budgets, sets, or reality getting in the way? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a world where Tim Burton was happy, Nero's purple marble bathtub and having the same favourite dinosaur.
