  • NOTE: While 'Yearbook' did air during the 1990-91 season, it did so in the spring of 1991 not in the fall of 1990 - in fact, in the same time slot as 'Haywire,' also included here and which did air in the fall. Simply forgot to remove 'Yearbook' before uploading the video. It happens.

    Television theme music took a rockin' turn in 1989 and 1990. Gone were the soft jazz, easy listening ballads that sounded interchangeable. In were the loud upbeat themes that got your attention. Also shows were proud that they were in encoded in Dolby Surround now that almost all stations had finally upgraded to stereo sound.

And I must also add, that Fox was still a new network then. It seems like the shows debuting on the top 3 networks were stuck in the 80s, while the ones debuting on Fox seemed new and exciting, in line with the new decade.

    Also.. the biting irony that, two decades later, _Parenthood_ was revived and had a multi year run on a network *notorious* for "fixing a show till it was broke" most likely leaves a bad taste in the mouth of those who were cast in the first try...
    Lastly... the most shocking thing about _The Fanelli Bosy_ is seeing BOTH Joe Pantoliano AND Christopher Meloni with full heads of hair at the same time.... *_SHOCKING_*

      Yep. "The Flash" aired opposite NBC's "A Different World" and "Cheers" on Thursday nights, in a rather unusual timeslot: 8:30-9:30 pm. I guess CBS didn't want to schedule "The Flash" directly opposite NBC's "The Cosby Show" and Fox's "The Simpsons." It didn't help matters that CBS preempted "The Flash" occasionally in favor of round-the-clock coverage of the then-ongoing Persian Gulf War.

    2. I also didn't realize until seeing them all like this how fascinated we suddenly seemed about upper class livelihood. I mean, there had been shows like Silver Spoons in the past, but here it seems like a trend and I'd love to know why.
    3. I'm gonna just say it: I really miss the clothes and hairstyles girls were wearing around this time. Maybe it's that I was born at the butt end of '74 and so was just entering high school at this time, I don't know. Normally, fashion is something about which I couldn't give two fracks, but this era... Then again, I'm also an absolute weirdo who finds comfortably-fitting blue jeans and a sweater sexy, sooo...

    The Flash could not get a break. Originally conceived of as a cash grab hot off the success of "Batman", the network soon found themselves switching it on the schedule so many times, because CBS had also landed the rights for broadcast baseball. Whatever base the show could have had, was undone when you found yourself flipping through the TV guide looking for it on any night. So it came as no surprise when CBS outright cancelled it in the early spring of 1991. It wasn't a great show by any means, but it was an entertaining police procedural mixed with superhero action, and late 80's flair. The production design was gorgeous, mixing Batman's dreary cityscape with a flashy neon color palette similar to that of Dick Tracy. Serious enough to work the drama, but not overly serious for a show featuring a man dressed up in what looked like a red velvet scuba suit.
