Failed sitcoms are perhaps one rung above reality shows on the ladder of 'media worth re-releasing'. They just don't really have the capacity to get a nostalgic following or historic importance in the way that similarly failed, say, cartoons or sci-fi can. Which is still a shame, because it's not like there wasn't effort worth remembering put into them, and there's almost definitely jokes worth telling; Listen Up isn't my speed, but I could definitely see it being a good laugh for my parents. Meanwhile I genuinely wish I could watch more of Bob Patterson.

It has always amazed me that a network could spend millions producing seasons of shows, and if they are even slightly unsuccessful they get cancelled and never get archived or are made available for purchased. Seems like such a waste, like there are many movies and shows that become cult classics on home video, why not give these shows a chance to find an audience after airing?

@EinDose Ай бұрын

@@kurtwagner350 I think it's notable that while there have been shows that have found success after life like that, mostly back when syndication was a thing (Star Trek's probably the most famous example), sitcoms weren't among them. The ones that are successful post-life are ones that are already successful--hell, some even drop off the radar despite popularity, like Murphy Brown.

The reason Seinfeld was so successful, as you point out, is because NBC let the series grow and define itself. But it isn't because of the head honchos of NBC and their parent company, it is because of Rick Ludwin. He was the one NBC executive, with a good track record at the company, who believed in the show. He defended it against the powers that be that were above him. In fact, if not for him, the series would probably have been cancelled as well. When the Chinese Restaurant episode was pitched to NBC, the one where it all happens in one location for the whole episode, execs thought it was a betrayal of their trust. But Ludwin, even though he too didn't understand of the concept, had trust in the writers and vehemently defended the show and that episode against the higher ups. And because of that, the episode was allowed to be filmed and aired. And as such, it turned out to be the highest rated episode of the show to that date. In fact, that particular episode helped cement most of the Seinfeld-isms and tropes that the series became known for. If not for Ludwin, Seinfeld would not have had the cultural impact on the public zeitgeist. Fun additional fact: Ludwin was also responsible for keeping Conan O'Brien on the Late Night show. The NBC executives wanted to get rid of Conan after his first year. But Ludwin was able to convince them that O'Brien had promise and would hit his stride as host. This he most certainly did and Late Night became the most successful late night show in that time slot for the remainder of Conan's tenure as host.

This video really wakes up nostalgia. Out of every show from the Seinfeld curse era, this was actually the one that felt like it was going to work. It had the right energy around it. Jason Alexander as a sports writer and Malcolm Jamal Warner as a retired NFL player felt so right. The name “Listen Up” felt right. I just remember looking at that main graphic on billboards and bus stops. It felt like a hit show with A-list leads…. And then it just hit the wall.

@cincymutt Ай бұрын

Bee Movie is a retroactive success as one of the greatest memes of all time

@sacvideo1998 Ай бұрын

Even after its rating slipped a bit, Listen Up still had almost nine million people watching by its final episode. Kind of wild that networks used to have the luxury of just throwing away shows that could draw an audience that big, today nine million viewers would be a hit, that's like Young Sheldon numbers. I should also note that when The Office premiered the next year, it had like half the viewership Listen Up did, but NBC opted to give it a chance, and look how that worked out for them. I think NBC has had the best sitcoms of any American network over the last few decades because they've been willing to take a chance on shows that don't attract big audiences right out of the gate, like 30 Rock and Community. Even Seinfeld itself didn't have great ratings at first.

@@dannigro8794 The first season was criticized for basically being a straight remake of the UK original. Whereas the second season onward they changed up the plots, the characters, etc. Once the writers were given more room to be a bit more creative, the reception changed for the better, and became the iconic series it is today. This is a good example of what some other comments said, that it's ridiculous for these networks to have been expecting Seinfeld-esque numbers right out the gate. You need to give shows times to grow and learn. Which is ironic, because Seinfield also was not a massive hit out the gate.

@seth8629 Ай бұрын

The reason for the curse is that Richards, Alexander and Louis-Dreyfus all assumed they could headline a show as the main character. Consider the great Phil Hartman who could have led any show he wanted but chose a co-starring role in the cult classic Newsradio. Consider Jerry Stiller who went on to co-star in the King of Queens for many seasons. Only Louis-Dreyfus was able to pull off shows centered around her talent - Richards and Alexander would have been fine if they had sought strong shows where they could star without making themselves the main attraction.

There are plenty of jokes that revolve around him being overweight and generally unattractive, but there's also a few scenes where he has his shirt off for one reason or another, and by modern metrics he looks just like an average guy. Is it because the average American male is now fatter, or are we just more accustomed to seeing a wider (no pun intended) array of body types on TV? Probably a little of both.

I don’t really know anyone who watched Seinfeld for Jerry. They watched for Michael Richards and Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I think Jason in particular is criminally underrated. But it seems like everyone focused on Jerry because his name was on the show. I don’t know a single person today who thinks he’s all that funny anymore to be honest.

Has Arsenio Hall’s sitcom, Arsenio, been talked about yet? Similarly to The Michael Richards Show, Arsenio doesn’t have Arsenio Hall playing a character with the same first name as him.

This definitely should've been a workplace show. I vaguely remember this show when it first aired.

Great video as usual. Since you mentioned it here, I would love to see a whole video devoted to Normal, Ohio. It seems like there was a small wave of shows with gay lead characters green-lit after Will & Grace became a huge hit (Normal, Ohio; Some of My Best Friends; It's All Relative; Crumbs), but none of them made it past a single season. It might make an interesting series to see why these shows failed while Will & Grace became one of the biggest shows on TV.

Funny enough I just discovered this forgotten failures series last week and after seeing the other few videos uploaded over a year ago, I figured they’d probably never get around to listen up and then this popped up.

King Of Queens Did It First "Work Friends & Home Friends In The Same Scene" Although Thanks To Arthur's Role On Behalf Of Jerry Stiller. Deacon & Spence Were Rarely Shown In Some Episodes Of King Of Queens
