Remember when the FOX network was justing starting in the late 80s, and it had only one or two nights with original programming? Then they gradually added new nights as the network became more popular.

What were your favorite shows from that early period?

I was a big fan, because it was so different than the other networks. Here are some of the shows I watched:

"Star Trek: The Next Generation"
"21 Jump Street"
"Alien Nation"
"The Tracey Ullman Show"
"Booker"
"Duet"
"The Arsenio Hall Show"
"Married With Children"
"The Simpsons"

That's all I can think of right now.

I liked " Second Chance", However I dont know if I would still like it now.

i would have to go with the tracey ullman show...not that i remember much about it now (other than it's where the simpson's came from)...but their was a funny sketch they'd do once in a while about an english secretary named kay...i watched the show because i loved her song "They Don't Know" from the lp, "you broke my heart in 17 places"...i bought the 45 the same day that i bought the 45 of "new song" by howard jones...why do i remember these things???

I remember FOX when "In Living Colour" was on. You had Chris Rock and Jim Carey starting their careers. BTW, Chris Rock is a great comedian and Jim Carey isn't very funny anymore. Also, New York Undercover was on to in around the early 90's but really didn't catch much of that show. Really don't watch FOX anymore except for Football anymore.

I liked Duet, Married With Children and Parker Lewis Can't Lose.  

21 Jump Street was my favorite I wish I could see it again.Remember Beans Baxter?

21 Jump Street
Simpsons
In Living Colour

I watched The Tracey Ullman Show almost every Sunday and
I enjoyed it watching the show in 1987 and 1988.Plus,after
each show came a Simpsons skit. :)

howard :)

I remember all those shows, including Beans Baxter! ;D As for ST:TNG and Arsenio, they were actually syndicated, but were on a lot of Fox stations, TNG was on mine. The station switched to WB last year, but I still get Fox on satellite. We should be getting a new local Fox next year.

I love the Tuesday night lineup, (That 70s Show, Andy Richter, and 24) that and football is all I watch on Fox now since they canceled Family Guy! :(

I loved the Tracy Ullman show, Gary Shandling (and I still remember the theme song made me laugh every time I watched it), Living Color, Parker Lewis Can't Lose was my favorite  ;D ! I also liked Ben Stiller's show which was not on very long, and didn't John Legiuzamo have his own show for half a season as well? I vaguely remember watching that, it was funny.

Tracey Ullman Show
The Simpsons
Married With Children
Parker Lewis Can't Lose
In Living Color

The Tracy Ullman Show Because The Simpsons started out on that show!! They used to be soooo ugly....

their "early years" Sunday night lineup was great:
(not in any particular order)

"Gary Shandling Show"
"Get a Life"
"Married with Children"


Sunday night was my favorite night for TV shows whaen that lineup was on.  I remember Married with Children was on around 10:00-10:30 pm because it was considered "too raunchy" for kids.  Man, if only they could see the crap thats on TV nowadays!

"Parker Lewis Can't Lose" was an absolute delight.  It was so creative and different from anything I'd seen before.  Combining teenage angst with surrealism was brilliant!  The cast was terrific too.   And despite all the strange stuff happening, each episode offered some very down-to-earth insight about growing up (but it never got overly sentinmental).

I wish I could find this show on video or DVD; I'd probably buy every episode.

I think the early days of FOX were much better than today. Married With Children, War Of The Worlds, Friday The 13th The Series, Werewolf, Second Chance, Women In Prison, Mr. President, The New Adventures Of Beans Baxter, Parker Lewis Can't Loose, Charlie Hoover, and GET A LIFE!

The Simpsons
Married...With Children
Tracey Ullman Show
21 Jump Street
Duet
Herman's Head (Yeardley Smith - voice of Lisa Simpson was in it)
Arsenio Hall Show
Parker Lewis Can't Lose

Coolest show ever was Parker Lewis.  I used to watch that every week when it was on.

Well,The Simpsons will extend their contract till 2005 making
The Simpsons the longest running show.Wow, almost 20 years on the air,Unbelieveable. :o

howard

I used to love Herman's Head. I remember one show when Yardley Smith (I can't remember her character's name) said to people, "I do not sound like Lisa Simpson! Do I sound like Lisa Simpson?" I just laughed.
