The cancellations of Gregory Shitcock, P.I. and Utopia, while tragic, allowed for the unique and powerful partnership of Drew Hancock and Ryan Ridley, and resulted in Wastelander, a masterpiece in all areas of production, that garnered a few Channy awards for its performances and costumes. No previous show more thoroughly exemplified the ability of Channel 101 to match and even outperform legitimate television. Although Hancock retired from the creative partnership just prior to its cancellation, one can only speculate whether his plans to leave had some karmic effect or if he just got bored before audiences did. In any case, Wastelander will forever stand as a classic- the quintessential Channel 101 show.
