25 Years Of Fox – Animation

The Fox network celebrated its 25th anniversary Sunday night in a 2 hour retrospective.  Here’s a look back at some of the cartoons, both prime time and as part of Fox Kids!, they have broadcast over the years, based on Wikipedia’s list..

Batman: The Animated Series: The series gave Batman a more gothic feel, following the trend introduced in the Tim Burton films.

Spider-Man: A highly serialized Saturday morning adaptation of the web-slinger.

The Tick: A surreal Saturday morning cartoon based on the comic which, sadly, only lasted 3 seasons.

Tiny Toon Adventures: Young versions of the Warner Brothers archtypes, with the originals appearing occasionally as their teachers.

X-Men: Another highly serialized adaptation, this time of Marvel’s merry band of mutants.

King Of The Hill: A straight sitcom about a family in Texas, only animated.

The Simpsons: The king of all animated programs has been on the air since 1989 and is, by far, the most successful show in the network’s history.
