That show is ‘Danvers’ Beach.’ Join veteran actor Carl Heck as he takes a deep dive into what exactly went wrong, told first-hand by the cast and crew behind this network catastrophe. If you’ve ever wondered how much drama, awkward crime, and haphazard nudity it takes to kill a beloved TV show - you’ve come to the right podcast. This is An Oral History of Danvers’ Beach. A Hamster House production.
