Snubbed on the FOX anniversary special.

Unless I missed it, the recent 25th anniversary special on FOX never mentioned or featured Martin, let alone Living Single. Both shows didn't end well with the network. But there couldn't be bad blood after all these years. It's just strange these two shows weren't featured at all. Martin is the fourth longest running live action sitcom on the network. It lasted longer than In Living Color!

I'm not surprised. Black shows helped the network from sinking and as soon as they were afloat they dumped all the black shows and haven't looked back.

Wow that is crazy. When I think about FOX back in the day those two shows come to mind along with In Living Color and some more black shows like Between Brothers, 21 hope street, New York Undercover.

A travesty. I do remember reading about problems some of the LS stars were giving the network.

I believe that during at least one season in the '90's, Living Single was the top rated show for African-American audiences.
