- Move to Thursday nights to take on the highest grossing show, The Bill Cosby Show also Beverly Hills.
-This was strongly opposed by James Brooks and was company driven, its not enough to just succeed but they needed to kill another (Cosby Show).
-S2 premiere "Bart gets an F" was the highest rated show in Fox history, an NFL playoff game eclipsed it in 1995.
-S3 Mike Reiss and Al Jean take over from Sam Simon.
