Fox affiliates had so many bangers when we were growing up

TNG, Hercules and Xena, Viper, Time Trax, Baywatch and later adnromeda Tek war, thunder in paradise (ok those last two weren't that sick) but thunder in paradise was so funny bc it was clearly filmed on the beach and lagoon outside the grand floridian at disney world.
There were others I didn't watch like earth final conflict but whats crazy is these were like new run eps.

And Viper was on channel 9 I believe. There was a whole block with Viper, Renegade and Tarzan.

Same. Channel 11 every Saturday night

I would watch thunder in paradise and be like isn’t the that Indian jones set at Hollywood studios or isn’t that Morocco at Epcot?

Well I loved their entertainment programming.
Their news channel however has helped us decline as a civilization.

Fox was always the edgy network, yet also a kids network. Pretty genius.

I’m not sure about the reason for the downvotes here. This 100%, no need to even list the shows

Ah, Thunder In Paradose! Baywatch but with KITT as a boat and Hulk Hogan!
andthrewaway1@reddit (OP)
it was so ridiculous
fwiw I watched tons of Knight rider on USA and I always felt like I wished the car did more cool stuff like on viper though viper was a way worse show

Yep, channel 5 had all them plus ivanhoe

Xena on a Saturday morning as part of Channel 5's kid/teen block was one of my guilty pleasures while I was in bed tired and/or hung over as a late teen student/casual worker.

This protomatter formed the stirrings of the UPN network, launched by the starship Voyager the following year.

Thanks to first run syndication a lot of those shows were on different networks and at different times in each market. For example TNG and DS9 were on the local NBC affiliate where I grew up (starting with Voyager Star Trek moved to UPN and was on at the same time and network for everyone).

Fox on some markets. Must of those were first run syndication. Here most of them were on local independent stations, and some were on other networks.

I miss syndication. Now everything has to be prestige and big budgets.
