I love the late '90s vibe of American TV. It's very unique, aesthetically speaking.

I was in middle school at the time but it feels like it was perceived to be a "simple time" even then -- Clinton scandals aside. Not to get too deep but 9/11 feels like the end of that.

@@amittaizero Oh definitely. It's quite gradual, but from early 2002 onwards you can see US TV getting sombre and gritty. And then there's now, which feels like it's all come to a head.

You'd be surprised how often it's happened. In 2013 single camera sitcoms with Michael J. Fox and Robin Williams (the latter created by David E. Kelley) only lasted one season each. Same goes for show with Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton back in 2007. Heck, even Lucille Ball's fourth and final sitcom "Life With Lucy" in the 1980's only lasted half a season.

"Michael Hayes" was David Caruso's attempt at a TV comeback after leaving "NYPD Blue" for a movie career that never panned out. The show didn't last long, but I've heard his professional behavior on set went a long way towards rehabilitating his well-earned reputation as a diva. Without it, he might not have donned the famous sunglasses on "CSI- Miami", five years later.

@@RwDt09 You're right. My bad. I read a little more on this series. Apparently, the two lead characters were dropped entirely after the pilot and it was just retooled as another workplace comedy. (Like, imagine if Sam and Diane were written out after the pilot of "Cheers" and the show just focused on the remaining characters).

@demetriusdillard2863 Жыл бұрын

The only redeeming factor about "Union Square" was that it was scheduled in the highly coveted eight-thirty p.m. timeslot directly between "Friends" and "Seinfeld" on Thursdays; other than that, it was nothing more than an uninspired and rather derivative imitation of the aforementioned "Friends." (If my memory serves me correctly, "Union Square" actually ranked in the top five overall for the largely lackluster 1997-98 season, despite mediocre reviews...in any case, NBC declined to renew it for a second season.)

Undoubtedly one of the weakest--not to mention lackluster--fall seasons in television history, bar none. Of the thirty-five new programs that debuted on the (then) six major television networks that autumn, only "Ally McBeal," "Dharma & Greg," "Working," "Veronica's Closet," and "Dawson's Creek" (which premiered on the WB network in January of '98) survived the ax.
