WTF?? Why the hell would you bump a FOX sitcom thread for this?

You could have bumped this thread instead:

Since this was bumped does anyone remember Living in Captivity? I remember everyone i knew completely hating on this show saying it was the most racist thing ever aired.

Bakersfield PD and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

Man, Fox used to be great.

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

The George Carlin show was decent even though its existence sort of violated much of what Carlin believed.

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

It wasn't even a sitcom and you decided to bump a 4 year old thread for that?

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

Garry Shandling Show was on Showtime.

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

I didn't know Brisco was a Fox program. I just remember watching it on TNT.

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

My all time fave from the early days of Fox

"Werewolf" with Chuck Connors. :up:

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

Yup, aired on Friday nights.

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

FOX also aired it, much like CBS aired Season 1 of Dexter.

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

Yep. I was on before The X-Files.

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

I remember missing quite a few eps of "Brisco" because Friday night was usually "dine out" night.

But I do recall seeing later eps of the series, and getting the story of The Orb and Bly.

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

Wow, I completely forgot about that one. I would love to see it again.

Re: Old Fox Sitcoms
 

This was a fun show. I heard they were putting some episodes on Chiller every now and then.

The entire series is coming out on dvd in October according to Wiki.

The 20 Greatest Shows Canceled By Fox Before Their Time

I'm going to come right out and say it; The Fox Network is the fucking devil. How many times in the last 20 years has this story repeated itself? Fox greenlights an awesome show. Many viewers love it and practically become obsessed with the show. Fox then cancels the series after a handful of episodes because the ratings did not climb fast enough for the impatient, small-minded execs at Fox. Imagine if a classic, long-running show like Seinfeld had aired on Fox (which actually almost happened) instead of another network. Seinfeld, which didn't become a ratings sensation until after a few seasons on NBC, probably would have died a quick death on Fox. Imagine the lost potential. And then think about all the great series that Fox did axe before really giving a chance to catch on and build an audience. It's heartbreaking and cruel. Fox is a god-damned cocktease. The network manages to find and purchase some of the most imaginative shows on television, and then proceeds to sentence them to a quick execution to the horror of the viewing audience. Even worse, Fox itself often sabotages its own shows by poor and erratic scheduling. Fox's sports coverage has a history of pre-empting and therefore destroying great shows. No wonder no one watched, you fucktards; they couldn't find the show! As for ratings, Fox obviously has unrealistic expectations to think that a show will succeed so immediately, especially in a day and age when there's so much competition. Why should anyone watch Fox when they obviously seem to delight in our pain? A complete list of good shows canceled by Fox would sadly be way too long, so I've narrowed it down to 20 of the best programs completely shat on by Fox. And now, a moment of silence for the (mostly) dead.

List, videos, and commentary...

I remember Herman's Head and Parker Lewis Can't Lose. They should have lasted longer.
