Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

In no particular order

Married with Children
American Idol
Brisco County
24
In Living Color
The Simpsons
Family Guy
House
Cops
Ben Stiller

This is just off the top of my head, I would have to study the entire list.

Plus, does rewatchability count? I could today still love MWC, Simpsons, FG but would probably never watch old episodes of 24 and I can't imagine the ILC has held up over the years.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

Wasn't 24 Jump Street on the network three blocks over from Fox? ;)

What's funny is that I don't think I ever realized that The Tracey Ullman Show originally aired on Fox. :lol: We were one of those areas that didn't get Fox for a really long time; it probably arrived in '93 or '94. I always associated Tracey Ullman with Lifetime because that's where I always watched it. I checked the Wikipedia page for the show, and I could have sworn the airings on Lifetime started earlier than what's listed.

While I would argue that Married With Children deserves a spot on a list of Fox's 10 most influential shows, I just don't think it holds up as well as it used to.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

I'd have to go with

Fringe
Parker Lewis Can't Lose
Cops
X-Files
The Simpsons
Get a Life
The Tick
Married...with Children (not my favorite but to me is THE definitive FOX network show)
Eek! The Cat
Arrested Development

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

I looked at "21" and "24" on that page and got confused. :doh: :lol:

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

In no particular order

Married... With Children
24
In Living Color
Batman: The Animated Series
Titus
Cops
America's Most Wanted
The Simpsons
Arrested Development
Family Guy

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

Is this list supposed to be the top ten best shows Fox has ever aired or the top ten shows that defined Fox as a network?

If it's the latter, then yes, I can see why one would include shows like 21 Jump Street, 24, Ally McBeal, America's Most Wanted, American Idol, Beverly Hills 90210, Cops, Melrose Place, That '70s Show, The Simpsons and The X-Files (for example) are on that list.

My Personal Top Ten:

Action!
Arrested Development
The Critic
Firefly
Futurama
In Living Color
The Loop
Malcolm in the Middle
Married with Children
Undeclared

Honorable Mentions: Animaniacs, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, The Ben Stiller Show, Dollhouse, Eek! The Cat, Fox's Fun House, Get a Life, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, The Tick (both versions), and Tiny Toon Adventures.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

They put OC on but not 90210?

How Married with Children isn't #1 or #2 is confusing... it kicked off Fox along with The Simpsons.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

Boston Public is another good choice. Forgot about that one. I don't think it's a top 10 show on Fox, though.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

From the original list, Fringe would replace OC or Undeclared. Neither of which I watched.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

I have no idea how you guys remember what network half those shows were on. Ever since I got my Tivo/DVR, I never remember what channel or time anything airs. :)

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

Interesting thread, my picks:

1. X-Files
2. 24
3. Arrested Development
4. Fringe
5. Firefly
6. Undeclared
7. Titus
8. Wonderfalls

Wow, can't even come up with 10. :lol:

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

I agree with some of the comments that there are two ways to look at such a list: the top ten best Fox shows in terms of quality (or personal views thereof) and the top ten in terms of pure pop culture impact. In terms of the latter, I would pretty easily pick these:

10. Ally McBeal
9. Cops
8. Beverly Hills 90210
7. House
6. Melrose Place
5. 24
4. American Idol
3. Married with Children
2. The X-Files
1. The Simpsons

As for my own choices as "best" Fox shows:

10. 21 Jump Street
9. Futurama
8. Millennium
7. The Tracey Ullman Show
6. Cops
5. Married with Children
4. King of the Hill
3. Arrested Development
2. The Simpsons
1. The X-Files

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

I'd rather do a list of the top 10 cancelled shows. Its much easier.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

Married With Children is a really awful show maybe it's one of the most synonamous with the Fox network but it's crap.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

This thread makes it clear who does and does not watch Fringe. :lol:

I wish Fox would bring this back, I miss sleazy reality tv dating shows like this.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

From their first FOX season. I had such a crush on Antoinette Byron, the Australian hooker.

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

Yeah! "The Tracey Ullman Show" deserves an honorable mention just for the mere fact that without it, "The Simpsons" would not even exist. (And no "Simpsons" means no Matt Groening TV franchise, so no "Futurama" either...)

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

No love for Flying Blind? I loved that show ... had a crush on Tea Leoni at the time

Re: Top 10 Shows in Fox History
 

Wow, not a single mention of <b>NY Undercover</b>?
