Dandy 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2004 I remember when Fox was a brand new station and they had the simpsons and In Living Color. However, another of my favorite shows was about a teenager whose father was supposedly a spy even though he posed a postman. The kid got involved in the spy business. I vaguely remember "Pumpkin Queen," but not sure if that was from this show or another one. Anyone remember this or other shows from Fox when they were a fledgling network? IIRC, Simpsons, In Living Color, Married with Children and 21 Jumpstreet were all on Fox. What are some others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strummer 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2004 I think the show was called "Brothers" It was about brothers and one of them was gay, maybe 2 of them? They always hung out at this bar. That was on very early in the history of Fox. When I was kid I was pretty shocked to see the actor who played the gay brother without his "gay" voice in real life interviews. Can someone fill in the details? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did they have a white racist grandma? There was also Comic Strip Live -- it made some Sunday Night prime time specials. And that 21 Jump Street Spinoff ... and that Married with Children sorta-spinoff with LeBlanc ... and that George Carlin show where he was a cabbie or something. That's all I got for now...

True Colors I don't remember who the first dad was, but the second dad was Cleavon "BLACK SHERIFF~!" Little, who died not long after the show went off the air, and the white grandma was the Bounty woman... who also died not long after the show went off the air As for the original post, Simpsons and In Living Color were not first-run shows on Fox... the first-run shows from '87 that most people would remember are MWC, 21JS and Tracey Ullman It's Garry Shandling's Show. I dunno if that was a Fox show, but it ruled for the theme song alone "This is the theme to Garry's show..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 It's Garry Shandling's Show. I dunno if that was a Fox show, but it ruled for the theme song alone "This is the theme to Garry's show..." The theme song ruled. "This is the theme to Gary's show.....the theme to Gary's show.....Gary called me up and asked if I would write his theme song...." Sliders originally began on FOX, and was a pretty decent show. Unfortunately, it got cancelled, as is the way of things - Sci-Fi picked it up, but at that point half of the original cast left and the stories just got completely ridiculous.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 The Chevy Chase Show. Worst show in a long hall of shame of bad Fox shows. The same week it got dumped Chase showed on Letterman's (then still new) CBS show and bitching about how bad it was and looking like he was going to go back to snorting coke to kill himself. Greg the Bunny was WB, by the way. And since we're talking about shows that appeared in time to capitalize on the X-Files craze, I'll mention Millennium.
