The Disastrous Fox 2006 Season 

Yay, I'm glad you've gone back to this! I have a weird fondness for failed sitcoms, there's almost something liminal about these brief glimpses into an unrealized world.

You are in luck, MM. You can now watch the other 5 episodes of The Winner after the pilot because Ben Simon has recovered them for us. Thank you so much, Cartoon Man Central!

I remember watching Til Death quite a bit in reruns as a kid. I thought it was alright. The rest of these shows I don't remember.

I barely payed attention to Fox's 2006 season because I thought that 'American Idol' had such A firm grip on the network that no scripted show would stand A chance against it. So for me, there was no hope for Fox in my eyes. It was no longer the network known for 'Married With Children', The Simpsons', and 'In Living Color' anymore, but where shows get crushed by 'American Idol', or 'Kitchen Nightmares'. So I moved onto cable, and streaming, but even that wouldn't last long.

Fun fact about some of these shows getting silently canceled during the "baseball finals" is that the 2006 World Series (hosted by Fox) is also one of the lowest-rated World Series since baseball came to television (because literally no one cared about the 2 teams outside of the 2 cities they played for). That's some pretty delicious cosmic irony right there.

I just recently discovered a vhs tape full of recordings from fox in 2006.

These Seven Shows are FOX’s Seven Deadly Sins

What happened with Fox during the 2006 Television Seasons is a lesson on what Networks shouldn't do.

Lorne michaels said in the Kids of the Hall doc.... if you get greenlit for a season 3 there is usually always a season 4. For the reason you said. Its an investment. and Til Death this runs on TV around here

Didn’t realize things were that for fox in 2006

I wouldn't know. I was too busy watching football.

standoff sounds like every new cop show today!

No Rich List? That’s unironically my favorite dropped pilot of all time.

Hey, since you’re officially done talking about _Ren & Stimpy_ , are you going to make a playlist on all the videos you’ve done covering it?

I bet there are ABC pilot demo VHS/DVDs somewhere out there from 2001, since I have an on-off interest towards the failed pilot of an American version of a British miniseries called "Metropolis", which tells the story of the lives of a group of friends after graduating from college. One of the reasons why is because Michael E. Rodgers, the actor of C. Junior in the children's film "Thomas and the Magic Railroad", played Nate, a stalker-with-a-crush type of character who loves one of the protagonists, and I did end up finding a full script (but I forgot where I found it), but very little info and no footage was found, and it was confused with an anime film with the same name.

I remember Justice. I actually liked it. I honestly only remember watching two or three episodes, and it was gone. It may have been a law and order "inspired" show but I really was into crime and courtroom dramas, still am. Since I was kind of young, I just thought I missed all of the season and not that it was moved to another time slot.

This is great! I know we both think alike; if some videos were not interesting enough to pass 100 views in its first month or its first year, we re-edit and re-post that video one year later to give our new audience of more subscribers a chance to see a better, more streamlined version of it.

Once again, thank you so much for letting me edit this video.

Wait a minute, in episode 3 of the Extra-Cast, you said this to Billy when talking about _The Winner_ : “If you put on ‘From the creator of _Family Guy_ ,’ it’d be a lie because Ricky Blitt was the number 1 dude.” So does that mean Ricky actually created the show? Because Billy said he came up with the concept and Seth McFarlane was an afterthought.

I know this is random but I'd love to see you do a video on either King Of Queens or Family Matters. Those are some of my favorite sitcoms that I don't think you have talked about yet.

''till Death really was a crazy case

Kind of funny that it came out a day after I watched a crappy Simpsons ripoff from Argetina called "La Familia Tipo".

I remember brother from "Everybody Loves Raymond" and the guy from "American Pie" show. In my coutry we have side channels that buy those shows and air it. Cant say a lot about the rest but now I want to see "The Winner" lol

One of the shows is called Vanished , that should tell you something . Lol

Really good video! I know Fox has had some rough years in the past, but Jesus...

Why does till death look like it’s stuck in the 90s?

My parents were die hard fans of til' death so I kinda remember that one.

The Winner reminded me of Get a Life. At least Fox gave that one a second season.

Fox cancels everything, except for the Simpsons!

Wow I remember watching The Winner when it aired on Sunday and watching Til Death on Sundays as a kid. In fact Til Death got the same issue as The Winner but worse they would air three episodes in the night then on Thursday when Family Guy would sometimes get a new episode they would put a Til Death episode there. The syndication on my end in the US is even funnier my CW aired the show in the afternoon for a year but once they got a different show they dropped it off their network and it went to My Network TV and if you know how messy that network is it makes it's fate the funniest.

Jesus JUST a rapid fire of videos! Awesome

The Winner is basically the Chris Elliot show "Get a Life."

definitely never would've heard of any of these from this era, I would've been watching Heroes around this point in time and wouldn't have been a fan of cop shows.

of the ones you were describing, I think The Winner sounded the most interesting. Mostly becasue of the Family Guy connection and not knowing this was something Seth McFarland did.

Justice was great. Love the premise. Plus it had some great moments. One involved a tween girl whose mom died on a rollercoaster with her. The girl is set to testify. The Victor Garber lawyer tells he not to cry. If she cries they will lose. She is questioned and ends up breaking down. Opposing lawyer sees Garber looking smug and accuses the girl of faking the tears. Girl responds telling him her lawyer said not to. Death glares at opposing lawyer.😂

I liked til death. Brad Garrett is funny

I ended up watching all off 'Til Death on a streaming site. Mainly because it was the first thing in the list. The last season was really weird. I don't recall any of the other shows. I don't even recall what I was doing that year anyways.

Justice was one of my favorites tbh. I was sad that it wasn’t successful

I wish they would put cancelled shows on streaming. But they wont because they font want to pay.

What year did fox air Stacked and Life on A Stick because both those shows were train wrecks too

I don't have any money for a patreon, but I do have a great video idea you should do on next after whatever you're doing You do a history video on Twice Upon A Time form 1983

Sundays at 6pm? Till Death is aptly named.

The only show from this line up that I remember watching was The Winner. I was such a huge Family Guy Fan in 2006, so anything with Seth MacFarlane had my interest. And I feel like you downplayed Fox's Sunday night block. Fox famously had shows like The Simpsons and X- Files in their Sunday night spot for years. Animation Domination became a big programing block for them sometime after, so I really don't think Sunday night on Fox is as big of a Death slot as it might have been on other networks. The happy ending for the Winner is that Rob Corddry went on to create Children's Hospital, which also starred himself, along with Erinn Hayes, who was also on The Winner.

Are you from joblo?

0:18 (7 Different shows from Fox's 2006 season) wow, that was ages ago. definitely don't remember hearing about any of those ...although to be fair i think i'dve been more interested in KidsWB or FoxBox around that time instead of the network sitcom shows.

The Wedding Album sounded DOA

What's the music played between 7:45 and 9:55?

4:17 - Trying not to laugh at this part because I have a sore throat.

7:30 Why does the head have a demonetized symbol

My housekeeper 💀

What's the music at 14:09?

How hard was it for you to not make the obvious pun about Vanish?

Can't expect everything to be great

Isn’t The Winner just a worse version of Get a Life?

was this a reupload? i recall seeing a similar thumbnail and title on youtube a while back and then couldnt find it when i tried to look for it

Friends is mediocre. I don't get the hype.

Baseball finals? I smell Russian bot 😅

Buddy i think you should stop hating family guy
