Episode 14: Independent Studies in Tragically Cancelled Television

Annnnd we’re back. We recorded this episode a few weeks prior to
the tragic murder of George Floyd, but we wanted to take a moment
at the top of the podcast to address what happened (and has been
happening to the Black community for years) as well as point our
white listeners to easy-to-access resources where they can
educate themselves, donate to Black organizations and charities,
sign petitions, etc.


Black lives matter.


The rest of the episode is filled with fun as Jenn and Chels talk
with their friend Amanda (who since the recording of this episode
has finished the entire series of Community!) about some of their
favorite tragically cancelled shows — kicking off the
conversation discussing Single Parents. 

They made lists of their top 5 unjust TV cancellations and kept
the lists secret until recording. Can you guess what Jenn, Chels,
and Amanda chose as their tragically cancelled favorites? (Hint:
A lot of them happened in the early- to mid-2010s.) Enjoy the
conversation!
