Help with Fox sit-com from ealy 90's

Can any help me name Fox sit-com from the early 90's?

It had a group of people stuck in a farm house after a nuclear explosion. I remember a giant chicken that kept them trapped inside.

It was on Sunday evenings. Believe that only that it only last one season or a partial season.

It certainly sounds like a show FOX would air. At least in the 90s.

Now today, FOX would detonate an actual nuclear device on a chicken farm, put an eceletic group of people inside the farmhouse and make a reality series out of it. Amanda Byram would host of course.

His site says he lives in Tucson, but that's obviously a ruse.

It says he moved to Tuscon when he was 14.

And it wasn't listed on his IMDB site, but wasn't he on Seinfeld once?

I remember that show. In one episode Santa Claus visited them and talked about the horrible sound of thousands of elves dying cause of the nuclear bomb.

I remember this show...it was hilarious! I would also buy the DVDs, but I am sure there is no chance of that happening.

Great block of shows Fox used to have on Sundays... Simpsons.... some crap at 830 (maybe Drexel's Class? or the George Catlin show?), Married with Children, Herman's Head, Flying Blind, and Woops. I forgot Fox used to have programming till 11 on Sundays instead of 10.

They had a great Monday for a while too, with a show about architects I remember liking and.... some show that was on after it that I also remember liking...

The Simpsons was on Thursday nights then. In Living Color and ROC were the early Sunday lineup.

As for Mondays, you're probably thinking of Partners and Ned & Stacey.

I have fond memories of the Fox Werewolf show about the guy who was a werewolf and he was trying to find the werewolf who had given him the werewolf curse. Cant remember the name of the show though......................

I wonder if my Fox affiliate skipped that last hour of programming or something. I watched Herman's Head religiously, but I don't remember this show.

Ahh, early Fox Sundays. I can't believe nobody has mentioned Get a Life, one of the best of the weird Fox shows. Herman's Head was great, too. And Charlie Hoover starring Sam Kinison as a pent up straight laced guy's "devil on his shoulder", so to speak, had potential if it wasn't so watered down. But there were quite a few big clunkers in there... Stand by Your Man starring Rosie O'Donnell, the Married...with Children 'spin-off' Top of the Heap/Vinnie & Bobby (starring Matt LeBlanc), and so many more.
