What was Shortcom?
Shortcom was a project Kevin Smith and Shannen Doherty were working on. It was a type of comedy show, like a sitcom, but made specifically for the internet. This was back in 2013, when the internet was still pretty new, and people were just starting to watch funny videos online. They made a short pilot episode, which is like a little taste of the whole show, called "Stubbs".
Why did Kevin Smith release the Shortcom pilot now?
Sadly, Shannen Doherty passed away recently. Kevin Smith wanted to honor his friend and show the world the special connection they had. Releasing the pilot was his way of celebrating her life and the fun they had together. It's a reminder that their friendship was truly special and that Shannen's impact went beyond just acting.
What is "Stubbs" about?
It's hard to say for sure since it was just a pilot. It's a little comedic mystery that follows the life of a woman named Stubbs. She is a strong and independent lady who doesn't take any nonsense! It's a glimpse into her world and the wild situations she gets into.
Who else was in the Shortcom pilot?
Besides Shannen, a few other actors were involved. It's not a big cast, but they did a great job bringing the pilot to life. The director was also someone Kevin Smith trusted and worked with before.
Why did Shortcom never become a full show?
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to plan. Sometimes, even though a project is great, it doesn't get picked up by a network for different reasons. Maybe the timing wasn't right, or maybe the network had a different vision. Whatever the reason, "Shortcom" never made it to the big screen.
Is there a whole Shortcom show out there somewhere?
As far as we know, the Pilot Episode is the only thing that exists. It's like a hidden gem that Kevin Smith shared with the world. There are no other episodes or full seasons out there. But the pilot gives us a good idea of what the show could have been.
Where can I watch the "Stubbs" pilot?
Kevin Smith released it on his Youtube channel. It's a great way to see Shannen Doherty's comedic talent and see what she and Kevin Smith created together.
