Favorite Fox Shows From the First 25 Years

April 22, 2012 by  

Fox celebrates their first 25 years on the air tonight, and to honor that time, I wanted to look back at a few of my favorite shows that have aired on the network. The following list is 100% biased, consisting just of the series that have meant the most to me. As a warning, there are some darn good shows that just simply aren’t on this list… 

FRINGE

It could have been easy to dismiss FRINGE as X-FILES 2.0, but for anyone who stuck around to find out what was beyond those initial "monster of the week" cases, they discovered a complex show unlike pretty much anything else on television. It's no secret I find it to be one of the best shows currently on our screens, and that's due to the mix of astonishingly talented actors (whose award season snubs will never cease to be frustrating) and fantastically twisted writers who think up stories and concepts that constantly break my brain a little. If you're not watching this show, you should be. (Hey, Fox, if you could renew the show for season 5 ASAP, I'd appreciate that, too.)

Okay, now you can yell at me — what should I have included?

    I have not watched anything on Fox since the series finale of Arrested Development so I do not know about any of the newer shows, but I would be remised if I did not point out that the twelve year old version of myself is completely offended that you left off your list In Living Color, the single greatest television show ever forged (at least according to the twelve year old version of myself). Also it is worth mentioning that Herman’s Head could possibly be the greatest horrible show ever.

    I’m totally with you on The X-Files. My first series TV show I followed as much as I could (I was only allowed TV on the weekends growing up) and it’s the first show where I became a “shipper” fan.

    Two other show I would have added to your list are Party of Five and MadTV. Both shows were ones that had their ups and downs, but managed to have an impact on my TV viewing experiences through the years.
