Discontinued uncovers the rise, fall, and eventual discontinuation of various items from the past. This episode focuses on four diverse topics: the early days of social media with Friendster, the misstep of a new formula called New Coke, MTV’s iconic music show Total Request Live and Betamax’s fight for survival in the format wars. The Discontinued Documentarians, Nostalgia Aficionados, and host— star of the Evil Dead franchise, Bruce Campbell— colorfully help tell their stories.
