41 NEW SHOWS OF FALL TV 1995

[@tmanokc]

18:00 So, Bonnie Hunt worked with Mark Derwin, Holly Wortell and Don Lake on two sitcoms seven years apart? They also appeared together on Hunt's 2002-04 ABC sitcom "Life with Bonnie".

[@Lynn17]

Oh my God, the memories. Caroline in the City, Drew Carey, Pinky and the Brain, Kirk, Brotherly Love, Cleghorne, Jeff Foxworthy, Moesha, The Single Guy, Bless This House, Maybe This Time, Can't Hurry Love...I wasn't a regular watcher of them all, but I remember the theme songs and the commercials and the TV Guide articles. (And man, I forgot how catchy The Single Guy's theme was.)

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

And ABC's "Murder One!" Produced by NYPD Blue's Steven Bochco. it starred Daniel Benzali, who played a lawyer on "Blue" as well as "Murder One,"

[@TJ52359]

1/2? a Season ubder that name... then they Gutted the Cast, re-branded as "CPW" and it ended in under a Full season

[@fromthehaven94]

I remember the words used in promos for that show like it was yesterday: "Is your TV fireproof?"

[@Seventizz]

It was a really good show at the start - but the rebrand was kinda boring. When they tried to tie up loose ends of the first half season - they looked out of place in the new Dynasty/Dallas/Falcon Crest they were trying to create. I believe this disconnect alienated both demographics they were trying to attract in the retooling. Also, Lauren Hutton should never be given acting work - she's a terrible actress.

[@Seventizz]

@@TJ52359 Other than Mariel Hemmingway nobody really got fired - not even her character's husband. But they became supporting characters to the boomers which was kinda funny.

It can be time-consuming, especially in trying to find ones with decent quality video. If I had a complete library of all excellent quality intros, I'd have a field day with them. But you use what you can get, it's the best you can do.

Cop Shows are usually a stock bet (or were) Friends was the "IT" show from the previous Season so of course they'd try to clone it John Grisham's The Firm, Pelican Brief, and The Client had all been adapted as films a few years prior and one can safely draw a line from 92's A Few Good Men directly to JAG (By way of Top Gun*) * You'll never convince me that Bellisario's Pitch for JAG was not a version of "What if the Lawyer in a Few Good Men was Maverick from Top Gun?"

Now in reruns they sometimes show end credits of one show at same time as introduction to next show to cut time.

[@VaultMasterDBT]

"It Had to Be You" was a fall 1993 show. You were probably thinking of "If Not For You" for this video compilation, which starred Elizabeth McGovern and Hank Azaria. That only lasted a month on CBS' schedule in fall 1995.

[@RwDt09]

Yes, I believe this was brought up before some time ago. Once in an odd while I still manage to slip up, even as I verify that I've got everything right.

[@VolcanoEarth]

I think this was the first year we had cable TV, but I don't remember any of these except the Drew Carey Show and Pinky and the Brain. My stepdaughter was only 8yo at the time, so when she was staying with us, the TV was pretty much hers. We watched a LOT of Saved By The Bell, Garfield & Friends, and Nick at Night. I (being the responsible adult....yeah...uh-huh) would make sure she was in bed before X-Files and Beavis and Butt-head came on.

Nowhere Man: another great show cancelled, but somehow UPN thought "Homeboys from Outer Space" was a good idea. Thankfully it came out on DVD years later with tons of extras, interviews and commentaries. I couldn't buy it fast enough.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

I never got into JAG, I watched two episodes total, both featuring one of my favorite actors of the past (the late Stan Kirsch), and I couldn't even watch the first episode he was in in full because I was bored (I do have it on VHS from its original May 1996 broadcast, the oldest recording I still have, one of the last NBC version shows). I'm not saying it wasn't a good show, it just wasn't my thing. Obviously I don't watch NCIS either. And wow, John Barrowman looks so young in Central Park West, a full decade before Doctor Who.

I find NBC's lack of faith in JAG as hilarious as ABC's decision to not go forward with the CSI pilot. Between the CSI shows and the NCIS shows, CBS would end up owning most of the 2000's (and some of the 2010's) in total viewers.

[@jricks3909]

How to put this delicately. There's a certain way of knowing which of these shows were likely on WB or UPN based on specific demographics they were targeting. Some of these intros are so basic they could be from almost any television era but I do appreciate the ones that are unmistakably 90s.

[@keithlau3872]

I was a young adult back in 1995 and did not watch one episode of any of these 42 new shows. The shocking part was that only "JAG" emerged as the most successful new show. Everything else just faded into obscurity. The one positive was that there were no "CSI" related shows!

[@paulcarr5918]

Yeah, that Drew Carey show and it's nine seasons and star that no one has seen since has really faded into obscurity lol.
