Favorite Fox Shows From the First 25 Years
April 22, 2012 by Marisa Roffman
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…
THE O.C.
Rebel outsider taken in by super rich family? It sounds so cheesy. But really, the Cohens were the family we all wanted to become a part of. And with Josh Schwartz at the helm, we also got plenty of nerdy moments (the creation of "Chrismukkah," Seth and Summer's SPIDERMAN kiss in the rain, "Atomic County," etc.) and some pretty tragic moments. (RIP, Marissa.)
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.
