| 48159 | Nostalgic things you've done since the pandemic started | <p>It was interesting the way in 1995 both <strong>The WB</strong> and <strong>UPN</strong> followed the <strong>FOX</strong> formula, taking advantage of chenges in FCC rules that shifted all the money to "networks", at the expense of independent TV stations and regional associations. </p> <p>Many of the FCC's rule changes were to give network startups greater chances of survival.</p> <p>I fell for, "Unhappily Ever After", in 1995 on <strong>The WB,</strong> because I was a big fan of Stephanie Hodge, she was the mom. Stephanie had quite a comedy stand up career, but the steady pay of a TV series is too good to pass up.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EA6pRnkKSWM" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p> | eddstarr | Sep 13, 2021 |  |
| 48158 | Nostalgic things you've done since the pandemic started | <p>I just watched the <em>Dark Side of the 90's</em> episode on the rise of Fox. I think the series is a little lackluster compared to <em>Dark Side of the Ring</em>, but I felt that episode was really interesting. I never realized just how much content that was once considered "taboo" they managed to ram in during their early years.</p> <p>I haven't done a lot of nostalgic things since the pandemic started. Or at least things that are outside of the nostalgic norm for me. I've watched a few different programs like <em>Batman Beyond</em>, <em>Teen Titans</em> and <em>Outlaw Star</em> that I haven't seen in years. I've played some old video games I haven't played in a long time (I am now seriously debating if GTA IV is better than GTA V).</p> <p>One of the things I did is I started rewatching an old podcast I used to watch all the time when I was college. Not newer episodes because the show absolutely sucks now, but I went back and watched a whole bunch of old content. Brought back some good memories. I also got to see where things started to go wrong with the show. But things like that happen when you revisit old things you've abandoned. It gives you a greater understanding of things.</p> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Sep 13, 2021 | |
| 48157 | Nostalgic things you've done since the pandemic started | <p>Speaking of FOX, I recall being kind of excited that we had more than just the three major networks available on VHF. At the time, I didn't realize just how significant it was to have a fourth network appear.</p> | Vaporman87 | Sep 12, 2021 | |
| 48156 | Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001) and Transformers: Armada | <p>I never watched it, but I did watch a few anime in Fox Kids' last days mostly Medabots and Mon Colle Knights. I remember seeing promos for this show.</p> | pikachulover | Sep 12, 2021 | |
| 48155 | Nostalgic things you've done since the pandemic started | <p><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dd/2b/28/dd2b2868caf05a86443e7c4cacca2c01.jpg" /></p> <p>Maybe you guys have noticed already. Ever since my office shut down and I've been working from home, I've been reliving my favorite 80's media moments - example: FOX Broadcasting.</p> <p>When the FOX Broadcasting Company went nationwide in 1987 it may have started with "<strong>21 Jump Street</strong>", "<strong>The Tracey Ullman Show</strong>", and "<strong>Married . . . with Children</strong>"; but FOX wanted to be a full-line network.. And that involved offering a well-rounded weekly schedule of programs that had wide appeal.</p> <p>And that means my old favorite: "<strong>Beyond Tomorrow</strong>".</p> <p>In the 80's ya had to have at least one hi-tech "innovations" show to compete with the other networks. <strong>Beyond Tomorrow</strong> was my favorite because it had that killer 80's theme track!</p> <p>TV show themes from the 80's need to be remastered - <strong>Beyond Tomorrow</strong> has the coolest intro. Take a listen to this episode with flying cars, <em>a la The Jetsons</em>, and the Ferrari F40 Supercar. When you hear the intro theme, see if you remember it from the early days of FOX.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5KbayIG4lhI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ae/5a/3f/ae5a3fff5948183f66d65b6a3807c61c--married-with-children--s.jpg" /></p> | eddstarr | Sep 12, 2021 | |
