one word: BABES!

Whoa! I just figured out that Wendy Jo Sperber died in 2005. I had no idea!

I also remember a really disturbing War of the Worlds series though I haven't seen/heard mention of it since it originally aired.  I remember a pregnant woman was inhabited by an alien in a dept store dressing room and when the baby was born it was actually an alien. I'm still not too crazy about dressing rooms. No wonder Fox had such a seedy reputation then.

P.S. Glad to see someone mention Beans Baxter. I used walk around the house singing Beans Bastard nonstop and escaping reprimand by claiming that was the actual name of the show.

Charlie Hoover is only available in Spanish on Youtube, thus making it slightly more watchable since we do not have to hear Kinison's actual voice:

I think "War of the Worlds" was syndicated.

I watched that show when I was little, and I remember drawing a picture of my family with huge 3 fingered alien hands coming out of their stomachs after seeing it. My parents didn't let me watch it again after that.

I remember watching my fair share of Drexell's Class with Dabney Coleman. It was dreadful.

Also, there was a show called Danger Theater with Adam West and Diedrich Bader that was a half-assed spoof of Hawaii Five-O and Renegade (I believe the Hawaii Five-O segment was hilariously titled "Tropical Punch.") I'm guessing they were going for a Police Squad! vibe but the thing was a disaster and was cancelled quickly.

That reminds me of something - youse guys have all heard about Lookwell, right? Written by Conan and Smigel and starring Adam West, they filmed a pilot but it didn't get picked up?

Lookwell!

And then there's Heat Vision & Jack, directed by Ben Stiller and starring Jack Black & Owen Wilson:

Am I really the only dude here who remembers Whoops! ?

WOOPS! had one funny line that cracks me up to this day. At the start of the frst episode they explained the concept and how they had declared world peace and to celebrate they were parading the world's nuclear weapons through the street before destroying them. One of the trucks hit a pothole hole, the bombs all blew up, destroyed the world and "all in all it was a pretty lousy parade."

Fox also had a sitcom set in a women's prison that I think starrred Rosie O'Donnell.
