I thought Kelly was hot and slutty, but it was the same old jokes. I'm impressed how well Katie Segal can act...going from Peg to Gemma Teller-Morrow in SoA.
5 Better shows on the basic 4 channels (not counting cable knockouts like Sopranos, Breaking Bad, 6 feet under, Dexter, etc)
M*A*S*H
Happy Days
Cheers
Soap
Simpsons
Also liked Friends, The Office, Cosby Show, Frasier, News Radio and WKRP
I'm sure that was a part of it, too.. But, MWC was also, at the time it was #29.. A ratings juggernaut on Fox.
It hit #29 in the 1991-1992 season.. Let's look at the Fox lineup at that time..
Sundays..
True Colors.. Cancelled after the season.. Though, this show was in trouble because Cleavon Little died just after it was cancelled anyway.. Remember Cleavon? The Sheriff in Blazing Saddles.. Bad ratings
Parker Lewis Can't Lose - Would last another season, and was actually a halfway OK show. But, ratings not so good
In Living Color - An absolute hit show at this time. In its second season. #56 for the year.
Roc - Not a bad show.. First season, it would have 2 more.. #72
MWC, we're talking about
Herman's Head - Eh.. First of three seasons. Poorly rated.
The Sunday Comics.. I don't even remember this.
Fox did a movie of the week on Monday, no network programming on Tuesday or Wednesday
Thursday..
The Simpsons.. In its third season, and in its stride right then. The problem was.. It was put head to head against Cosby on NBC, which hurt it in the ratings, and it finished the year in the high 30's.
Drexell's Class.. One and done.
90210.. Second season.. #42.. I wasn't a fan of the show, so..
Friday..
America's Most Wanted. A show that survived cancellation at least twice.
Something called "The Ultimate Challenge".. No idea. I don't remember it.
Saturday..
COPS
Totally Hidden Video
Best of the Worst - Which, ironically, was the worst performing show of the season.. Finishing ranked #98 of 98 ranked shows
So.. Take that list, and MWC was a ratings winner for Fox.. Their highest rated show of the season.. How many times does the #1 show on a network get the axe? And, remember, this was right before they landed the NFL.. They were basically half a network at this point. Having the #29 show was party time.
It's funny that you called them "half a network" (which I agree with, btw). Half of their shows were decent to good. The other half were just bad.
I had this odd soft spot for Herman's Head and I couldnt tell you why. I was working nights at the time so on the odd time I was home I HAD to watch it. LOL it wasnt even that good.

I remember that show.. And that's why it got an 'eh'.. It wasn't bad.. But.. You can also look at some of the shows that were on UPN when it started up.. Remember, they built that network around Star Trek:Voyager (Which.. I liked).. But they only had network programming for 3 or 4 nights a week.. And they had some stinkers.. Remember Platypus Man? How about Homeboys in Outer Space?
But.. They had some good shows, too.. There was a claymation show called Gary and Mike that was quite good, but poorly rated and only lasted a season.
There was no way that UPN was going to jump up and grab the NFL. They tried the Fox model.. but the XFL was in no way the NFL.
I'm not going to say that Fox wouldn't exist now if they hadn't gotten the NFL, but it made them a legitimate 4th network. Had there already been 4 networks and Fox was trying to be a 5th.. Then I think without the NFL they did fold.
Nope. You pretty much summed it up in the title. Married with Children is one of the greats, a classic.
My top 3
Seinfeld
Married with Children
Simpsons
And it doesn't take a genius to know what OAT means. But anytime someone does throw out an abbreviation you don't understand, all you have to do is take the 2 seconds for google to tell you what it means. And yeah he's a journalism major or not, who cares. I'm sure there are plenty of professionals in this forum making 50k - 100k or more yet act like childish dweebs arguing over dumb topics and name calling on the politics forum or some other forum.

Hot and slutty and too dumb to know she was hot and slutty. That's what made her so funny. Bud knew, though. Oh, Bud knew! lol
I didn't know it was on Ant TV 'til towards the end so I missed most of it. Wish it would come back on either Ant TV or MeTV.
All in the Family is winding down on Ant TV. I will be sad when it's gone. They're now in the days when Mike & Gloria were in CA, getting a divorce, and Edith and Archie are raising Steffie. Boring, but still better than 99% of the new garbage on these days.
Already said that Seinfeld is a classic, so is All in the Family. MWC is garbage. You probably think Adam Sandler is a genius.
No I don't, I like very few of his movies. I don't see how those things are related. But please keep assuming things about people.
