Fox develops a lot of the funniest and most original series on television, but none of them tend to last long, unfortunately.

I totally agree with Action and Freaks and Geeks.Comedy Central usually shows re-runs of Action on Saturday morning.

Yeah, except I'm Canadian! So, I miss out on Action reruns. Now and Again airs in reruns on the Sci-Fi channel too, but I don't get that here, either... :(

Now and again airs on the sci-fi channel?

xfanatic5011/23/2003

I know it used to. Don't know if it does anymore.

I just got through watching the only two seasons of Sports Night in existence, and that makes me awfully sad. What a fine show. Two seasons! Argh.

xfanatic5011/23/2003

There was unfortunately no room on the list for Sports Night. Far too many good shows to name here have unfortunately not caught on. :(

Sports Night was a very good show, i almost wish ESPN would have like a fiction channel kind of. Like a branch like ESPN classic, to have a show like Sports Night, and show sports related movies.

Actually, due to the overwhelming success of the "Family Guy" DVDs, FOX is reviving the show. We'll have to wait till 2005 to see new episodes, but this is still good news for us fans of the show!

i can't wait

Freaks and Geeks was really funny. I miss that show

xfanatic5001/17/2004

Thankfully, Freaks and Geeks is coming to DVD sometime this year, finally. They were having music issues with getting them out there.

AAA01/17/2004

YES! YES! YES!

The best TV show of the past ten years, finally out on DVD. I cannot wait.

AAA01/17/2004

Oh, and I agree with your choice of Andy Richter, which I thought was one of the funniest shows on television during its brief run.

xfanatic5001/18/2004

Freaks and Geeks DVD's are due at the beginning of April.

What? No Greg the Bunny?

xfanatic5001/17/2004

Greg the Bunny was good, but in comparison to Titus, Andy Richter or many of the other FOX sitcoms on this list, I didn't think it was as memorable.

DrJimmy01/17/2004

That, I guess, and the fact the puppets never have had a very strong Union. ;)
