Ctrl Z

Nerd’s revenge with a keyboard, including ctrl-z which takes him back in time.

Lizzy: Just hit control-z.
Stu: Yeah, I know how to undo things. Thanks.

After the success of Robert Kirbyson’s short, “Ctrl Z,” NBC picked it up for a 10-episode web series, the first ever by a major TV network. The first episode, at about four and half minutes, is a remake of the first half of the original “Ctrl-Z,” and after that, we go on a trek through the rest of the keyboard. But regardless of which key an episode focuses on, the original ctrl-z is (almost) always there to help Stu step back when needed.

Because the episodes are periodically released short episodes that tell one continuous story, we classify the Ctrl web series as a single serial—like the old-time movie serials—rather than a TV series. Including the aforementioned first episode, there were ten episodes.

Stu: Oh! Thank you, thank you, I know how to undo things. Okay?
