Mackley's Wardrobe

Mackley's Wardrobe is a canceled 2009 TV series premise by Dozerfleet Productions. It starred Mutt Mackley as the live-in companion of a Ferris State resident named Charlotte.

Plot
Charlotte Duvarin is a college junior studying graphic design at Ferris State. Unlike other graphic design students, she chooses to live in Bond rather than in Taggart Hall. She begins to adapt to life slowly, while dealing with the comical mischief of her friends. One day, however, a small, sassy dog sneaks in through her window when she leaves the screen open. The dog reveals himself to be Mackley, and claims he was sent to stay with her for a semester. The two argue, but she agrees to let him live in her wardrobe.

As Charlotte goes about her residential life trying to make things in her life make sense, Mackley occasionally chimes in his wisdom. In exchange, Charlotte agrees to try to keep Mackley's presence a secret.

Cast and crew

 * Mutt Mackley: A sassy talking dog that gives snarky advice to aid a college student out who is hiding him. His origins are shrouded in mystery.  Portrayed by a 1980's-produced R. Dakin & Co. hand puppet.


 * Angelica McClary as Charlotte Duvarin: A clueless college student trying to adapt to her new life in Bond Hall.


 * Zach Foster as George Phillips-Stareemly: Nicknamed "GPS" pejoratively by Mackley, George is Charlotte's other best friend.

Every member of the class would have been part of the crew, which includes non-actress Cassie Tyler. Ultimately, Cassie would be the one whose pitch led to the cancellation of this show.

Reception
Class instructor Nathan Meadows described Mackley's Wardrobe as being "a great plan."[1] Others in the class remarked that it was "very well-thought-out." Ultimately though, it was turned down as being "too narrow, and too limited to just one man's imagination." While an exact replacement has yet to be selected, Cassie's suggestion of a serial drama gathered the most support in class.
