I love these kind of documentaries. The ones about things that could have been but never were. The Dana Carvey Show was always something that interested me, and Greenbaum's funny and interesting documentary scratched an itch that had been bugging me for years.

A good look at what may have been the most talent-packed comedy show in history. It was clearly destined to fail but it makes for some interesting career arcs.

Comedy nerd's wet dream. I found out about this show a couple of years ago and so glad I finally get to hear the story behind its surprising (now unsurprising) failure. Plus they finally have all of the episodes streaming on hulu.
