Remember the awful episode where Bud and "Cool Bud" fought in the basement over control of Bud's body?
Yecch.
Did Bud also have a Bud-bot or a Robot girlfriend? I know Urkel did something similar, but I remember Bud having a lab of some sort. |

The show was horrible in it's last 4 or so years. The audience screaming and hooting at every unfunny joke- not fun or funny.

I watched them all after the show went off the air and they started showing in a daily block with the Simpsons on Sky 1. I agree that it really fell off a cliff in its last few years but those first few years were great. I wish they didn't do the "look who's talking" deal with the dog though as it really bogged down the pace and wasn't really funny.

Early FOX had interesting shows: HERMAN'S HEAD, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, TRACY ULLMAN, SIMPSONS, BEN STILLER SHOW, IN LIVING COLOR, GET A LIFE, 21 JUMP STREET, Joan Rivers' LATE SHOW, then ARSENIO. It did shake up the landscape of stuff on TV, especially at the time. |

Was It's Garry Shandling's Show part of the early Fox lineup? When my family lived overseas, people back home would record network tv for us and IGSS was usually on the same tapes as MwC and Ullman, but wikipedia says Shandling was on Showtime.

It started on Showtime and then Fox also aired it, I believe. It was definitely on both, I just can't remember why it ended up on Fox.

Dalton would know. I think the title went from ITGSS to ITLarry Sanders Show with the change too.

I also remember FAMILY DOUBLE DARE being a part of the Fox lineup at that time.

In it's third year on Showtime, Fox began to air the show from the beginning.
Round about 1990.

Oh yeah FOX was fantastic in the early days with all the cutting edge new shows it came out with. It really was a place where they let people be creative as possible, for a while at least. I also loved it when those shows would attack the people going after them, that stuff would never fly on other networks. |

That's really awesome, but why would they bother airing the 500th Simpsons? Maybe they don't need to air any first-season episodes, but they've literally got ten-ish seasons of the greatest sitcom of all time to choose from.

They should cancel one of the twelve MacFarlane shows and air repeats of MWC every Sunday night.

Back in 1990 CBS decided to show reruns of ALL IN THE FAMILY in the time slot after Norman Lear's new show SUNDAY DINNER. Turned out that ALL IN THE FAMILY outrated SUNDAY DINNER and won it's time slot every time it aired.
