A New Path for Network TV
During the late 1980s, segments of a new television network started budding then blossoming into the regular lineup of shows. Before FOX television became a larger enterprise it worked its way into antenna television with some unique programs. BAF starts with its attempt at late night TV through hosts Joan RIvers and Arsenio Hall, the original Sunday programs including Married...with Children, The Tracey Ullmann Show, and 21 Jump Street, the early reality of America's Most Wanted and COPS, the socially experimental In Living Color, and new kind of animated series The Simpsons. From the new angles to even some controversy the early shows brought, FOX was born on television.
