The Fox network celebrated its 25th anniversary Sunday night in a 2 hour retrospective. Here’s a look back at some of the comedies they have broadcast over the years, based on Wikipedia’s list..
Flying Blind: The comedy that introduced Téa Leoni to primetime audiences only lasted one season. I don’t remember much about the show, beyond knowing that I enjoyed it and Leoni.
Get A Life: Chris Elliot starred as a 30 year old paperboy. It was something of an accomplishment that the show managed to last 2 seasons. The most enduring memory of the show might just be its theme song, REM’s Stand.
Herman’s Head: About a research assistant and the 4 representations of his psyche. It is most notable today for featuring two stars from another Fox hit, the Simpsons.
In Living Color: The sketch comedy show that gave us Damon Wayans, David Alan Grier, and Jim Carrey was a cultural touch stone in the early 90s. Who doesn’t love a little Fire Marshall Bill or Homey the Clown?
