Default Short Lived FOX series 1980's-present

If you've noticed during it's entire existence, FOX has had more failures than successes (ex. comedies,drama, reality). Well here's a list of short lived FOX shows,some you may remember, that have come and gone since the late 80's. Granted some of these shows were good and innovative but the majority sucked or looked liked bad ideas.

Really cool list. There were a lot of good shows there, I just hope that ones that are currently not on DVD get a release.

I'd love to have Brimstone on DVD as it is my favourite show ever and sorely missed. But I'd love to have The Street, Werewolf, Opposite Sex, Ned & Stacey, Get Real, Woops! on DVD as well.

Herman's Head and Parker Lewis Can't Lose were my shows back then! They should be on cable! And I loved Firefly too.

wow, alot of cool shows. some were crap but alot of them were very interesting, and offered something alternative to what the big three were showing at the time.
i loved so many of those shows listed, even though they weren't all "great" they were just different.
I wish they made more, Keen Eddie, Get a Life, Pasedena. Just to name a few.

I noticed my fave short-lived Fox show is missing.

VR.5, which aired in the spring of 1995 and starred Lori Singer.

Whoa, that's some list! Major props for taking the time and effort to put it together.

The scary part is that while I've never heard of some of those shows, I actually do remember a good number of them. Perhaps this is a sign that I've clocked in way too many hours of tv viewing!
