A girls gets embarrassed after a video of her goes viral. She enlists a marketing expert to help her get her image back, not really surprised that the show got cancelled, I was never interested in this show after I read the the idea behind it.
I am not gonna recommend that you watch the 6 episodes, to what purpose? The main reason why this series made it here is because there was a certain expectation of it, probably because of the title and because John Cho was in it.
A to Z
Created by: Ben Queen
Genre: Sitcom
Running Time: 22 mins
Original Channel: NBC
A to Z is a creation of Ben Queen, it’s another sitcom that got killed off after only 6 episodes. I am gonna be honest with you, I did not expect this, my expectation were high but they simply didn’t deliver and NBC was not patient.
It portrays a romantic relationship where every episode stands for a letter in the alphabet.
Better luck next time, Mr. Queen. The audience simply wasn’t feeling it.

It has a quite interesting plot, an actor decides to stay at home and take care of the children while the mom goes out there and try to pursue her career.
I would’t say that it is a great show, probably average but it did last longer than most of the sitcoms on the list.
