By talking to the majority of its cast - including Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Danny Pudi, Ken Jeong and Jim Rash - I was able to share the share the show's rollercoaster journey of ups, downs, firings, re-hirings, cancellations and fan resurrections, as told by those who lived through it. Then, just when it was ready to go, it got unexpectedly shelved.
Cut to March 2020 and as the show prepared to make its Netflix debut, the article found an unexpected new lease of life.
