When FX first began in 1994, it was the original home for ancient shows and live original programming when it was based in New York City until Fox moved FX's operations to L.A. in the late-1990's.

The 30th anniversary of the network’s premiere is what brought me here. Thank you for posting. I was obsessed with this network in its first year, and this is bringing me back!

[@maljardin4251]

Glad you enjoyed the video. I thought the original FX format was awesome.

[@Mpact-75]

Me too! I absolutely loved FX in those first years. There was nothing like it! So upbeat, colorful, and positive. I miss it!

[@bizarrowxrld2089]

Damn this brings back some damn good memories smh and I used to love all of those FX Bumpers

[@horrormoviefan2859]

Man was cable amazing in the 80s and 90 s. I remember when FX aired reruns of 21 Jump Street, Buffy, etc but I am too young to remember everything they aired. I didn't even know they aired classic shows in the beginning!! And I definitely don't remember the live shows and news!!

[@tuningin88]

I miss watching "In Living Color" on fX.

[@nicksullivan4994]

I can't believe Tom Bergeron was on FX! Where can I get one of those little FX Logo Boxes? “FX, It’s FOX without the O!”

[@PaulDoe79]

Jeff Probst too!!

[@TheRacingGenius88]

Well I think those boxes are in Fox's warehouse.

[@darrinchase]

I ordered one of those boxes and it never showed up :(

[@TheNameisPlissken1981]

It played The Greatest American Hero with its original music at 3pm Mon-Fri.

[@thedreamr1]

They need to bring the old FX Network back. Miss all the original programing like Breakfast Time and the classics. Nothing like it on tv now

[@christophersmith556]

I remember being 12 at the time this station premiered; I stayed up all night flipping between various channels. The shows felt more intimate, especially the morning show; they literally brought you into their home.

[@BlakeNaftel]

I successfully convinced my parents to add fX to the family cable subscription in 1994, merely for the reruns of Batman 1966, but once available, really enjoyed the live programing and additional line up of shows. A bygone era of inventive cable television!

[@dokkus]

i was in 6th grade and i thought this was the most amazing concept for a channel. loved it. 'the fall guy' and 'green hornet' in the daytime; 'in living color' at night. thanks for posting these segments and ads, Maljardin.

[@jacobrichardson1952]

Man FX was cool back in 2008 they got Malcolm In The Middle and my favorite movie There's Something About Mary man I miss the good ole days

[@xavierwilliams2228]

1994 was the yr that the 90s officially move on from the 80s. I remember being a 5yr old kid when fx premiered with its interactive 24 hour TV. Seeing a 1960s batman blew my mind and watching in living color right as it just had got canceled was dope. Fx first 3 or 4 years was dope. I remember some of these commercials like yesterday. Tv sucks now.

[@jophillips2532]

Tom Bergeron, this is why I thought he hosted the collection show. Personal FX.

[@tri0xin]

Ahhh... Cool to see your FX vid... I was 19/20 years old .. just moved out of my parents house literally the same month June of 94 when the FX network started and really liked just about all the shows they played along with the hosts watching the shows and commenting on them during commercial breaks and even the original programming they had too. 24/7 live tv was a pretty cool concept then and might make things interesting still if the live networks weren't only News stations ie.. CNN/FOX/MSNBC.... Enjoyed rainy saturdays watching Fx in the mid 90s!! Eight is enough, Fantasy Island., Grizzley Adams, Greatest American Hero and Family Affair.. the good old days. Eliie Devers and Lauri Hibberd too!

[@Kevin-xv9pm]

FX is the best Fox-owned cable channel ever, until Disney screwed it up.

[@christianvillareal1]

Nope, FX became as one of the most iconic entertainment brands in the world thanks to Disney.

[@Kevin-xv9pm]

@@christianvillareal1 Oh yeah? It doesn't felt the same to me.

[@tnucatola]

I started as an intern at fX before it was even on the air. It was an amazing experience. The natural high in that office was intense. We were putting a network on the air for the first time. My first few days there my job was to follow Tom Bergeron around and get or do anything he needed. I worked on Breakfast Time and Under Scrutiny with Jane Wallace. Was friends with so many great people including Jeff Probst, genuinely a good dude. Harry Connick Jr. was there playing the piano on live TV and I picked up my beautiful friend Kathleen and placed her on the piano and she was bopping along as he played. We did an interview with Gorbachev in the presidential suite of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. It was a great experience!

[@tri0xin]

Wow! What great memories you must have! For me I moved into my first apartment at age 19 in Eugene, OR. .. the same day FX premiered.. got my keys the night before and was unpacking all my stuff and getting my apartment organized while watching Breakfast Time and the shows that day... was a really cool concept with the live commercial chatter and original live shows. I have so many nostalgic memories of the 80's an 90's and FX network ranks right up there.

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

FX in 1997-11 was the best, Miami Vice, College Football, MLB Saturday Night and Nascar and oh yeah, a very iconic identity.

[@susanfit47]

I watched reruns of such Fox shows as In Living Color, That 70's Show, The X-Files, Married... With Children, Beverly Hills, 90210, Malcolm in the Middle, The Bernie Mac Show, Mission: Impossible, as well as 20th Century Fox-produced programs such as Batman, M*A*S*H, Trapper John, M.D., NYPD Blue, Picket Fences, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, On FX.

[@MrBroadcast45]

I always wanted that fx prop they used

[@foxboxarchives2059]

8:57 Who was the Announcer for FX during this era? Because I think he was the Announcer for Toon Disney from 1998-2001.

[@maljardin4251]

@@foxboxarchives2059Sorry. Wish I knew, but I don't. You very well could be right.

[@tuningin88]

Back when FX was fX. LOL. Live and original. Now it's original and marathon of movies.

[@jophillips2532]

Plus I thought it was either the learning channel or travel channel.

[@jwgreek8606]

Did FX rerun the late 80s revival too?

[@maljardin4251]

Do you mean the '80s revival of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE? I don't think FX ever aired the reboot (just the original series).

[@neonpizzaneko]

Can anyone find the B-52's Helicopter FX promo?

[@NothingCanKilltheGrimace]

I think it’s at 9:08 and the uploader cut it off. I’ve been looking too 😭

[@xavierwilliams2228]

oh wow I remember that. I was only 5 in 94..

[@DeconvertedMan]

trying to find the fish one.

Great time

[@itsjermainepeebles]

before It’s Always Sunny and Archer existed, they aired old shows like Batman

[@marysikes5861]

I Watched M*A*S*H And Married With Children On FX!!!!!!!

[@jwgreek8606]

Back when FX was good. Now it sucks

[@Channeleven2345789]

I disagree, alongside FOX, FX has to be one of the best networks ever.

[@Windows96_]

James Greek FX is one of my favorite television channels... seeing this makes me even love it more

[@sillygoose635]

James you idiot, FX is so much better now.

[@GuilhermeHuertaeSilva]

In Portugal, 2015, it has been replaced with FOX Comedy

[@Kevin-xv9pm]

You can say that again. Trust me, I can relate. FX Channel eras... Classic rerun era (1994-1997) - Okay News Corporation (20th Century Fox/Fox Network rerun) era (1997-2001) - The best Original programming era (2002-) Decent, I guess 21st Century Fox era (after the News Corporation split) (2013-2017) - Less victorious Disney era (2017-onwards) Downfall That's my timeline on how FX's attempt came to be.
