ABC has canceled its freshman comedy “Alex, Inc.”
The single-camera half-hour was based on Alex Blumber’s podcast entitled “StartUp” about a man who quits his job to start his own company. Zach Braff executive produced and starred in the series and also directed a few episodes.
The series also starred Michael Imperioli, Tiya Sircar, Hillary Anne Matthews, Elisha Henig and Audyssie James. Matt Tarses served as executive producer and writer; John Davis and John Fox were executive producers from Davis Entertainment; Blumberg, Chris Gilberti and Matt Lieber from Gimlet Media also executive produced in association with Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios.

A sitcom about a guy who podcasts seems like a randomly generated punchline to a joke about media in 2018 — perhaps like one of the white cards in the game Cards Against Humanity, a phrase just waiting to fit the blank space of a setup. In this case, the white card is “Alex, Inc.,” and the setup is something snarky about increasingly Balkanized media demographics. No one laughs.
“Alex, Inc.” is an adaptation of Alex Blumberg’s popular 2014 podcast “StartUp,” a real-time chronicle of how he worked to get a media company off the ground. Blumberg brought listeners into every detail of the process — pitching a billionaire, negotiating an equity split with his business partner, and sharing his anxieties with his wife. The podcast is now poised to launch Season 7, and Blumberg’s company Gimlet Media is now not just valued at $70 million but also the home of several beloved podcasts.

Zach Braff ain’t no scrub in his return to primetime.
Alex, Inc., a new family comedy which debuted on Wednesday, is based on the life of Alex Blumberg, a former This American Life producer who left his job to launch the highly successful StartUp podcast, backed by venture capitalist/frequent Shark Tank panelist Chris Sacca.
Here, Braff plays Alex Schuman, a veteran radio producer who quits his job to launch his own podcast company, and does so without consulting his beloved wife Rooni (The Good Place‘s Tiya Sircar). She’s not exactly thrilled, but agrees to support her...

Zach Braff’s very first directing credit was more than a decade ago, but he found there were still lessons to be learned and challenges to overcome when directing his new ABC family comedy “Alex, Inc.”
“From student films to the big studio movie I directed and everything in between, this was the hardest thing I’ve done,” Braff tells Variety. “As executive producer and I’m not credited as a writer but I participated in the writing and the acting and the editing and directing, it was overwhelming, to be honest.”
Although Braff directed multiple episodes of his prior ABC comedy “Scrubs,” he shares that the episodes he took on then were usually shot right after a hiatus, which gave him more time to prep. But wearing so many hats on “Alex, Inc” required him to multi-task like never before.
“I directed four of these, and while we were...
