HOMEY, APPARENTLY, PLAYS THAT:  Keenan Ivory Wayans is reviving In Living Color for a pair of specials as part of Fox's 25th anniversary celebration next year.  One can only hope that Duet and Herman's Head revivals will follow.

    Just for the hell of it, the initial Fox slate in April-June of 1987:

    Married....With Children
    The Tracy Ullman Show
    21 Jump Street
    Mr. President
    Duet
    Werewolf
    The New Adventures of Beans Baxter
    Karen's Song
    Down and Out In Beverly Hills

    (Sadly for my joke about how Fox would air almost anything back in the day, like NBC now, Woops! didn't air until 1992.)

    Wait, Herman's Head isn't available on DVD, Netflix, Amazon streaming, or iTunes?? What have we done to deserve this crime against humanity?</span>

  12. Molly Hagan! Yeardley Smith! I'm pretty sure I was too young to get a lot of the jokes, but I watched Herman's Head every week.

    It has long been my contention that the Fox lineup of Herman's Head, Duet, and Flying Blind was the seed from which NBC's powerhouse Must See lineup of the Friends era grew.

    No.  Just, no.  Grounded For Life, on the other hand, I'd love to see again.

    That was Donal Logue before we knew just how terrific he could be (Terriers), right?
