HOT GALLERY: Snakkle Celebrates 25 Years of FOX with Our 13 Favorite Characters
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. By Katherine Butler
