Good call. I got into it a bit late, but once I started it became addictive viewing.

Ahh, how could one forget that? I liked it and I was just getting into it when it was cancelled. Figures.

1. Wonder Woman
2. Bionic Woman

maybe if they had lasted a little longer then they could have mud wrestled. i always wanted to see them fight each other. i think wonder woman would have won though.

New York Undercover - One of the better FOX shows for its time.
Martial Law
Nash Bridges
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air - But I think Will Smith had personal reasons for not wanting to continue with the show
Family Guy
Malcolm and Eddie
Bugs Bunny and Tweety (come on now, those are the classics)


Shows that SHOULD have gotten yanked from Day 1:
Totally Hidden Video
Herman's Head
Parker Lewis / Ferris Bueller
The World's Funniest (obviously Sunday night filler on Fox)
Clueless
Greed
Any Fox special hosted by Mark Thompson (scary, this guy is a weatherman)

I was just watching that show on Sci-Fi the other day. I always wondered what the deal was with that show - this was one of the best shows ever on TV. It dealt with sci-fi issues, but did so in a great human manner... argh, screw Enterprise, I want Quantum Leap!
