My final video of the year, where we count down TV shows that were killed off before they should’ve been.

It’s the season finale of the 11 Points Countdown. We’re wrapping up the first year of the show with a good one: 11 Prematurely Canceled TV Shows.

I’ve got the ideal co-host for this list. It’s Paul Goebel, who was the TV geek on the old Comedy Central game show Beat the Geeks and is a noted TV historian. You can check out his website and podcast at The King of TV.

The show has been a big effort from a lot of people, with an extra special shout out to my producer Matt. Without his efforts on all 30 of our episodes this year, the show would never have had a chance. We’re planning bigger and better things as we start season two next year.

As always, if you enjoy the episode and/or you’ve enjoyed this year of the YouTube show and/or you’re in the mood to click a cool button, please do take a moment to subscribe to the YouTube channel. Sincere thanks!
