It would have been easy to list my ten favorites, so I thought I'd actually try and figure out what really are the 10 best shows in FOX history. Longevity, popularity and critical acclaim were the biggest factors in determining the shows on this list.


In no particular order:

The Simpsons
Married... With Children
America's Most Wanted
24
House
Family Guy
Arrested Development
Ally McBeal
The X-Files
American Idol

American Dad
King of the Hill
Futurama
Family Guy
Cops
America's Most Wanted
Married With Children
Martin
In Living Color
Simpsons 89-99 (Everything after is crap)
An honorable mention to True Stories of the Highway Patrol and When Animals Attack, which pretty much jump started the documentary trash TV trend.

I prefer old school Fox and the shows that defined the network, I used to watch it way too much growing up. I also have a fond love affair with Animation Domination/Da Boom.

Over the years [25, to be exact, hence stories retrospectives like
this], FOX has gained a reputation as the home for some of the riskiest
and most adventurous programming on network TV. And when you swing big,
sometimes you miss big, either in terms of quality or with audiences.
That has led to FOX's reputation as a network that cancels shows
quickly. Often, this reputation is entirely undeserved. No other network
would have given "Arrested Development" three seasons or "Fringe" four
seasons or bothered to renew "Dollhouse" or "Terminator: The Sarah
Connor Chronicles."

For this gallery of short-lived FOX favorites, I made a simple rule: One
season or fewer. Period. If FOX renewed the show, it doesn't make the
gallery, even if the total number of episodes falls under a standard
22-episode season.

That's why "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" isn't here. This gallery
also doesn't include "Dollhouse," "The Loop," "Terminator: The Sarah
Connor Chronicles," "Get a Life" and several other shows that were
definitely short-lived, but had to be cut off due to the "one season"
rule.
