Discontinued explores the fascinating world of failed products and businesses, offering a humorous and nostalgic look at their downfall.
The show's creator, Brian Volk-Weiss, had been trying to bring Discontinued to life for years, and finally found a home for it on Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort Channel.
Hosted by the iconic Bruce Campbell, Discontinued takes a unique approach by featuring a host and setting the show in the year 2037, avoiding the feel of a typical clip show and adding a creative element to the format.
