Fox aired its 25th Anniversary Special this past Sunday. I thought it was both too long and too short. Too long because it focused too much on crazy reality shows like When Animals Attack and disaster dating/marriage shows like Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire and Joe Millionaire. Too short because we only got a few reunions - That 70s Show, Married with Children, and three Wayans brothers from In Living Color. I wish we had seen more reunions like 90210, Melrose Place, and the X-Files.
One of the funniest part of the special is the re-airing of parts of Family Guy's "ode" to the FCC. Hilarious. The Married with Children clips were also awesome. It's amazing how long ago that show was. I watched a lot of it, and a lot of the humor went right over my head back then. Same with In Living Color. I remember it being very funny, but watching it back now, I definitely didn't get some of the humor.
I watched many of the shows for the first few seasons, but then gave up on them after they started going bad. 90210 wasn't the same after Shannen Doherty left, and Melrose Place just became insane. Ally McBeal was interesting the first few seasons, but then all the characters just became caricatures of themselves. But I appreciate that Fox does take risks, even if it does push the boundary of good taste.
