"True Originals" is an unaired sitcom pilot produced for UPN in 2003. The comedy follows a group of eccentric twenty-somethings that work at a nostalgia and collectibles shop. This pilot is legendary in Hollywood circles because of the incredible ensemble of future stars it featured right before they broke out, and how its failure directly shaped TV history. Famously this pilot is directly responsible for John Krasinski landing his roll on The Office.
Unaired pilots rarely develop much of a legacy, but "True Originals" has become a cult curiosity. After leaking online, the show became the center of a lot of "what if" scenarios. So, does this lost sitcom deserve a second chance, or did UPN make the right call by leaving it on the shelf? Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive this never-aired television relic and find out.
Starring: John Krasinski, Natasha Lyonne, Jorge Garcia, Ken Marino, John Ross Bowie, Judah Friedlander, & Tessie Santiago
