D’oh! Has it really been 25 years since the FOX Network first graced our television screens? Launched in April of 1987, Rupert Murdoch created the “fourth network” to compete with the old guard, otherwise known as ABC, CBS, and NBC. Married…With Children and The Tracey Ullman Show were among its prime-time debuts in 1987, with shows like 21 Jump Street and Duet soon rounding out the programming. Of course, these were only the beginning. In honor of 25 years on air, Snakkle celebrates 13 of our favorite FOX characters.

It’s been 23 years since Melrose Place premiered! If the characters on this beloved Fox soap could survive drugging, blackmail, pool fights, adultery, and an actual bomb inside their building, then the actors of Melrose Place should have been able to survive a little thing like Hollywood, right? Snakkle takes a look at some of the fan favorites and key players from the original series to see where this crazy town has taken them once they left the infamous courtyard.

Jennie Garth spent her late teen years growing up on television, starting with an appearance on the TV show Growing Pains in 1989 before becoming a breakout star on the hit series Beverly Hills, 90210. While she’s starred in many television movies and other series, she’s also expanded her roles to wife, mother of three daughters, and, now, single mom living on a farm in her own reality TV show. Garth has accomplished a lot in her 40 years, and Snakkle wants to celebrate with her!

Denise Richards is about to turn 44. (It’s okay. We were surprised too.) Although she became a tabloid staple for a while—thanks to her relationships with Charlie Sheen and Richie Sambora—Ms. Richards has been acting since the early ’90s, with roles that varied from an uncredited appearance on The Ben Stiller Show to a brief but very memorable stint on Seinfeld. Herein, we present to you a list of memorable Denise Richards guest spots that you never knew existed—until now. And by the way—happy birthday, Denise!
