TV is Dead, Long Live TV. While television is rapidly decaying on the business end of things, simultaneously it is consistently evolving, more artistically challenging and even auteur-friendly, and that is partially thanks to the infiltration of comedy podcasts. Some shows try to incorporate some of the DNA of their pods to the small screen, like Comedy Bang Bang and The Nerdist, while standups like Nikki Glaser, Sara Schaefer, and Pete Holmes have parlayed their numerous hours behind podcast mics into late night hosting gigs. Maron, premiering tomorrow, would never have become a reality if it weren't for his years hosting WTF with Marc Maron, the popular interview podcast that has been well documented to have saved both Maron's career and his life.

Sometimes TV shows drag their unfunny, uninteresting, yet highly rated feet across our living rooms for years. “Who let this happen?” we cry in vain. Other times, the powers that be get things right. That’s where

That’s where “Brilliantly Canceled” comes in, looking at the shows that didn’t make it past their first season and saved us all a ton of grief.

Whenever I am asked what my favorite television show of all-time is, I try to change the subject. To insult the many comedies and dramas that could make a strong case for the singular honor by not evoking its name would be tragic, and I may make a fool out of myself to the individual I'm having a conversation with by uttering the "wrong" answer and unknowingly conveying that I am a gigantic moron (human interaction is the worst.) When pressed, I used to say Community, the comedy that managed to lovingly comment on seventy years of television with clever satire and great silliness in a respectful manner while simultaneously making fun of the viewer for watching television in the first place. But, since the season four premiere, I still say Community, but it's immediately followed with a sigh and a sentence that begins with "I mean…" Following the conclusion of season three, creator/showrunner Dan Harmon was fired by Sony for the minor offense of being the world's most difficult employee, leaving the show's writing staff for Jeff Winger's senior year at Greendale Community College with probably the hardest task in the history of television. Creators/showrunners have left a show before, but no show has ever seemed to be as connected to the individual as Community was to Dan Harmon, and in the year 2013, every fan with a few Google and Wikipedia searches can discover every member of any show's writing staff, along with their Twitter accounts.
