41 NEW SHOWS OF FALL TV 1995

- I originally titled this video 42 New Shows of Fall TV 1995, but it's been called to my attention by someone in the comments section that Moesha debuted in 1996, which is correct and, as such, an inexplicable oversight on my part to have included it in this video. But once in a rare while things like that slip past me.

Oh my God, the memories. Caroline in the City, Drew Carey, Pinky and the Brain, Kirk, Brotherly Love, Cleghorne, Jeff Foxworthy, Moesha, The Single Guy, Bless This House, Maybe This Time, Can't Hurry Love...I wasn't a regular watcher of them all, but I remember the theme songs and the commercials and the TV Guide articles. (And man, I forgot how catchy The Single Guy's theme was.)
And ABC's "Murder One!" Produced by NYPD Blue's Steven Bochco. it starred Daniel Benzali, who played a lawyer on "Blue" as well as "Murder One,"
I can imagine modern TV people going 'Those intros don't leave FAR enough room for commercials!'
Now in reruns they sometimes show end credits of one show at same time as introduction to next show to cut time.
"Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I think so Brain. But me and Pippy Longstocking? What would the children look like?"
“Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?”
“I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find rubber pants our size?”
8:54 Central Park West, was supposed to do for CBS what Melrose Place did for FOX. Didn't last long. Glad to see you back!
1/2? a Season ubder that name... then they Gutted the Cast, re-branded as "CPW" and it ended in under a Full season
I remember the words used in promos for that show like it was yesterday: "Is your TV fireproof?"
18:00 So, Bonnie Hunt worked with Mark Derwin, Holly Wortell and Don Lake on two sitcoms seven years apart? They also appeared together on Hunt's 2002-04 ABC sitcom "Life with Bonnie".
Started off with Nowhere Man! One of my personal favorites.
YES! That series finale blew my teenage mind! 🤯
One of my favorite shows of the 90’s!
To believe, one of these shows still has a spinoff (or two!) still on the air to this day.
NCIS is a spinoff of JAG.
NCIS, the second series to franchise itself after Law & Order started the trend.
@@fromthehaven94 CSI franchised before NCIS.
@@sexysadie2901 Either way.
Glad you're back posting. Thanks
Glad to see you back in play! Was starting to miss these wonderful collections of retro television fare. Must be tough to find a lot of these.
It can be time-consuming, especially in trying to find ones with decent quality video. If I had a complete library of all excellent quality intros, I'd have a field day with them. But you use what you can get, it's the best you can do.
"Nowhere Man" & "Strange Luck"
had me hooked from the beginning!!
Loved "American Gothic"
& "Deadly Games", too.
So many cop procedurals, court room dramas, and Friends ripoffs.
Cop Shows are usually a stock bet (or were)
Friends was the "IT" show from the previous Season so of course they'd try to clone it
John Grisham's The Firm, Pelican Brief, and The Client had all been adapted as films a few years prior and one can safely draw a line from 92's A Few Good Men directly to JAG (By way of Top Gun*)
* You'll never convince me that Bellisario's Pitch for JAG was not a version of "What if the Lawyer in a Few Good Men was Maverick from Top Gun?"
@@TJ52359 I never knew, until now, that Catherine Bell wasn't on JAG in it's first year.
@@primemover1416 a lot of "Early Installment Weirdness" in JAG Season 1...
Friends was a rip off from Living Single which came out first
8:31 And Yakko as Himself
I totally forgot about that original Drew Carey Show intro, I only remembered the one where everyone was dancing around Cleveland.
Holy moly! What a load of crap! Thanks for the upload man, haven't seen anything from you in a while. Appreciate these reminders, no matter how good or bad the shows were.
Thank you so much for everything you do, this is such an awesome archive. Keep up the good work!
Thnx for the upload. I love how specific your videos are.
I had such a crush on Lucas Black as a kid when I saw that Disney movie Flash. Had I known he was in American Gothic I definitely would have tried to watch it at some point. :D
Ah, the '90s.
"It Had to Be You" was a fall 1993 show. You were probably thinking of "If Not For You" for this video compilation, which starred Elizabeth McGovern and Hank Azaria. That only lasted a month on CBS' schedule in fall 1995.
Yes, I believe this was brought up before some time ago. Once in an odd while I still manage to slip up, even as I verify that I've got everything right.
@@RwDt09 It's no big deal at all! Just wanted to point out what I saw. The two titles are pretty similar. :)
Drew Carey show is underrated I always loved that show Also liked Caroline in the City Leah Thompson was so adorable 😍
Here in Brazil, "Deadly Games" was called "Combate Mortal". Just to get the hype of a certain videogame...
12:11 I LOVED this show! Theme song by Wendy & Lisa of Prince's Revolution. There are a few eps buried here on UA-cam.
I never got into JAG, I watched two episodes total, both featuring one of my favorite actors of the past (the late Stan Kirsch), and I couldn't even watch the first episode he was in in full because I was bored (I do have it on VHS from its original May 1996 broadcast, the oldest recording I still have, one of the last NBC version shows). I'm not saying it wasn't a good show, it just wasn't my thing. Obviously I don't watch NCIS either.
And wow, John Barrowman looks so young in Central Park West, a full decade before Doctor Who.
From what I gather in my family, the point was for woman to have an outlet to gawk at hot military men
Thank you so much, i love your videos!
Thanks. Always good to know.
Murder One was the best intro still to this day so powerful
I think this was the first year we had cable TV, but I don't remember any of these except the Drew Carey Show and Pinky and the Brain. My stepdaughter was only 8yo at the time, so when she was staying with us, the TV was pretty much hers. We watched a LOT of Saved By The Bell, Garfield & Friends, and Nick at Night. I (being the responsible adult....yeah...uh-huh) would make sure she was in bed before X-Files and Beavis and Butt-head came on.
I didn't 'get Nowhere Man' and 'American Gothic' back then... I wonder if
A. they'd hold up to present viewing and
B. if I could find 'low cost' Copies to test hypotheses A?
who would have Guessed JAG (which lasted 15? episodes on NBC in this format) would end up getting to 10 Seasons thanks to CBS, let alone Spawn their NCIS Franchise which is now 3 shows deep and NCIS Prime is at 18 seasons
I believe all the episodes
of "Nowhere Man" are on UA-cam.
@@laustcawz2089 so what you're saying is, "it's Now Here, Man"
I find NBC's lack of faith in JAG as hilarious as ABC's decision to not go forward with the CSI pilot. Between the CSI shows and the NCIS shows, CBS would end up owning most of the 2000's (and some of the 2010's) in total viewers.
@@fromthehaven94 1. Not the First time... I wandered down a Rabbit hole a while ago, and apparently ABC had 'All in the Family' handed too them, but they balked because of a failed edgy 'sketch show' the season before... this gave it to CBS, where it spawned multiple spin offs (which had their own spin offs allowing CBS to 'Own the 70s'
2. CSI was supposed to be an 'also ran' on CBS, as their debut Season CBS put their weight behind a revival of the Fugitive
@@TJ52359 CSI was moved from Friday to Thursday, went from a success to a blockbuster.
Nowhere Man and American Gothic were great shows that were never given a chance by their networks. And, how many of us sang along with the Pinky and the Brain theme?
If I could put this directly into my veins, I would.
90s TV...not even once!
Here, have some of this.💗🧡💛💚💙💜
Talk about a flash back. Most of these shows I forgot all about since they came out. The titles, intros, theme songs, actors… I don’t even think I remember watching most of these shows, but the intros are instant nostalgia for me. I remember the intros for some reason.
I really liked Strange Luck
It was a good show
What's up with 1995 and legal dramas?
Man, Deadly Games was the perfect so bad it's good show.
“And Christopher Lloyd as Sebastian Jackal” 😗👌🏻
14:53 I remember this devastating review in USA Today: "Kirk's enterprise crashes pretty quickly." Ouch!
Wow. I graduated high school at this time and ain't heard of half these shows.
Remember a number of these were on the UPN and WB channels which quite a few people couldn't get.
Ahahaha, Murder One: the show whose production was held up by Daniel Benzali’s chronic tardiness because he _had_ to take his morning dump before leaving for work.
Ha! I remember reading that!
I was a young adult back in 1995 and did not watch one episode of any of these 42 new shows. The shocking part was that only "JAG" emerged as the most successful new show. Everything else just faded into obscurity. The one positive was that there were no "CSI" related shows!
Yeah, that Drew Carey show and it's nine seasons and star that no one has seen since has really faded into obscurity lol.
And it took a switch of networks for JAG to be successful.
@@paulcarr5918 - Drew Carrey hasn't faded into obscurity YET... (even after his namesake series ended in May, 2005). He has been on CBS every weekday as host of The Price Is Right since October 15th, 2007 (starting his 16th season as host in Fall 2022).
CSI started THE FOLLOWING YEAR (it's in this channel's New Shows of '96). I do believe it or a spinoff has been on the air every season since (CSI Las Vegas has gone two full seasons now).
@@syxepop No kidding? Really? Geez, aren't you the smart one
I was overseas for most of 1995. Doesn’t look like I missed much.
Pinky and the brain was good
How to put this delicately. There's a certain way of knowing which of these shows were likely on WB or UPN based on specific demographics they were targeting.
Some of these intros are so basic they could be from almost any television era but I do appreciate the ones that are unmistakably 90s.
Strange Luck, hell yeah.
My god the theme songs. We were deep in the center of the 1990s here.
There were 5 Hercules TV movies in 1994 and series Hercules the legendary Journey ran From January 16, 1995 through Nov. 22, 1999 for 111 episodes. Spin off Xena warrior princess started Sept. 4, 1995 and ran until June 18, 2001 for 134 episodes. Another spin off Young Hercules had Pilot episode plus 50 other episodes and ran from Sept. 12, 1998 until May 14, 1999.
Loved American Gothic!!!! It used to be on Hulu but not anymore.
You could just pick any district or landmark in New York City and boom! You’ve got the name of a show
Wow, I forgot that WAKC was still an ABC affiliate that late into the ‘90s.
The New York News theme reminds me of the New York Undercover theme.
some of these shows ive never heard of
I remember 6 out of 41.
damn I miss the 90s creatively grungy and multilayered styles
So many shows I've never heard of starring (or created by) people I have. And how did Will Estes end up on two new shows at the same time?
Charlie Grace show Mark Harmon as the star but in April 2003, Harmon come in JAG as Leroy Jethro Gibbs, who investigate the death of Lieutenant Loren Singer (Nanci Chambers). This episode is the pilot of NCIS!
The last ones are blink and you'll miss them.
1:57 That tiny tree! 😂
Nowhere Man: another great show cancelled, but somehow UPN thought "Homeboys from Outer Space" was a good idea. Thankfully it came out on DVD years later with tons of extras, interviews and commentaries. I couldn't buy it fast enough.
What ever happen to actress jobeth Williams of the client that was in 1995
What do you mean what happened to her? She was in other shows later.
Almost Perfect ❤
Same thing we do every night, Pinky...
Wow, another rough year for new shows. JAG is the clear winner out of this batch and it had a rough start, moving from NBC to CBS.
They're almost always rough. It says a lot when shows with actors who had success either in film or prior TV roles are in many of the failed shows.
If you are watching this and you never saw "Nowhere Man" do yourself a favor and find it. The series is a bit uneven but even the wort episodes are pretty good and the good one's are great! I've been a Bruce Greenwood fan ever since.
"JAG" moved to CBS after NBC cancelled it.
@Bob M Yes you are correct!🤔
You were missed.
"Courthouse," a CBS offering didn't last very long, if memory serves me right.
Murder One at 4:23 was a fantastic show.
The first instance of a single storyline specifically for a single season of a show. Too bad ABC scheduled Murder One up against the juggernaut known as ER. By midseason, I familiarized myself with Drs. Green, Ross, Lewis, Carter, Benton, and Nurse Hathaway again after the case against Neil Avedon moved to a different night.
The wife from The Jeff Foxworthy Show played Denise Handicapped on Curb Your Enthusiasm
I agree with commentary. every year after about 1992 just gets shorter and less appealing doing what was done in the past but in some type of cliff notes version. The only great one so far going through 1997 to this one is ally mcbeal. only good ones in 1994 friends and picket fences likely then 1993 melrose. cnn was right in their shows "where have all the theme songs gone,"
Moesha debuted in spring of 1996
Actually, you're correct - sort of. It premiered on January 23, 1996. So somehow that one snuck in when I should've known better. It happens sometimes.
What do you think is the biggest factor when it comes to a TV show being successful? The writing, the acting/actors, the premise or a combination?
You left out good music, sound, camera work as well as costumes and realistic sets and props. So is a combination of many different things also some characters have a likeable personality could help. Although some shows were based on horrible personality.
Also the era when it's made.
What was mark harmons Charlie Grace show about he produced tell me
the Synopsis on IMDB reads like Generic Detective Series #573 with the 'hook' being that he's a Single Dad
His Status as Producer was likely (as is common) an Overture by the Studio to sign him Cheaper up front, and then IF the Show had worked, he'd get his 'bonus money' via a stake as Producer
I swear to God...nearly *every single intro* in the first ten minutes (right up to "Pinky and the Brain") were absolutely interchangeable: same camera shots, same cinema-verite, same pouty faces, same theme music. Just awful. (The 90s *were* every bit as bad as I remembered!)
The creative use of b&w or sepia randomly is also a nice touch. '90s TV was mostly trash.
Murder One's intro was kinda cool.
Wow
Tony Danza and Lori Loughlin. What's not to love?💗🧡💛💚💙💜
that lori tried to bribe her daughter into a top university, that's what.
@@hellmuth26 Before that, people were apparently tired of seeing either of them. And it didn't matter that they were on the same show.
I was waiting for American Gothic. Canceled way too soon.
11:31...okay, seriously though...if you're going to include "Drew Carey", why in the world would you use "Moon Over Parma" when you could have used the absolutely epic "Cleveland Rocks" opener?
Debuting in 1995, I just had to be true to its first season intro.
@@RwDt09 Point taken. Bravo.
@Marcus Montgomery's Logo Archive True, but still; both were themes for "Drew Carey", and Cleveland Rocks was easily the best of the lot.
@Marcus Montgomery's Logo Archive Better than Moon Over Parma, but nowhere near a match for Cleveland Rocks. It WAS exciting, though, that the theme song actually got better the farther along the show went.
12:20 Man-hands!!
There was a Prime Time version of Pinky and the Brain? How did that work? Stretching out a ten minute short to twenty plus minutes sounds ill advised, at best.
It worked, though. Sure, it only aired in prime-time that first season, but it lasted two or three more on Saturday mornings. Didn't get stale 'til some moron in the executive suite decided to add Elmyra from Tiny Toons into the mix.
@@TheMadMaple Even the theme song was against that move. "I deeply resent this" was part of the them on that show.
Same show... just aired on WB Prime time as 'filler'
It aired opposite 60 Minutes so hardly anyone saw it...
Wow one cast member. OK! :-(
i wonder whatever happened to that drew carey fellow??
Since October 15th, 2007 Drew has been hosting every weekday on CBS "The Price Is Right" replacing Bob Barker (he'll start his 16th season hosting in September, 2022).
@@syxepop lol just making a dumb joke of course i knew about drew on price is right...but tyvm for telling me something i didn't know!! that price is right will be coming back on in a few weeks with new shows!! all apologies for making a real lame joke!!
Oh yes Nowhere Man, the best show of 1995 IMO.
American Gothic 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
How many of these shows we're set in NYC and none had Jerry Stiller in. bold move. was he busy this year. Also loads of big names off this pre lesbian Portia captain pike, Peter parkers professor, ncis dude, Josh porter Stanford Connecticut
Seinfeld, where he played Frank Costanza, was still going strong.
In 1995 mark Harmon had a tv series I'm told anybody Know what it was tell me
7:35
It kind of ironic that that same time JAG debuted, Mark Harmon would star in 'Charlie Grace' which tanked after 9 episodes. Then 8 years later he would star in a JAG episode which acted as the back door pilot for NCIS.
Charlie GRACE? WTF?
THEy were making Tv shows everytime somebody farted jeez!!!
I ran the streets SO MUCH IN 95....... THIS IS GOING BACK IN TIME. I NEVER HEARD OR SEEN NONE OF THIS EXCEPT PINKY AND THE 🧠.
Pinky and the 🧠 yessir
Lukas black I feel was underacting and over acting all at the same time..
Gawd, what a load of forgettable dreck! The only one I remember is “JAG”. I must’ve been in a coma in 1995!
I'd rather remember Xena: Warrior Princess (started in October, 1995 in the same WB superstations as "Pinky and The Brain" ) over in syndication, with probably a few other more...
ALL of these are works of art compared to what's on now. :(
No
Nowhere Man, Murder One, The Client and JAG were all casual watches ranging from watchable to decent. Caroline in the City, Drew Carey Show, Too Something, Dweebs, Can't Hurry Love, Almost Perfect and Moesha I watched pretty regularly. A full-on Kirk Cameron sitcom makes me wanna blow my brains out just thinking about it and I always found Jeff Foxworthy about as funny as cancer. Central Park West was insufferable.
This is when all those Friends rip-offs with shamelessly derivative titles started.
