The Fox Files: Duet (Patreon)

“Variations on a Theme” (May 3, 1987)

Welcome to the first installment of our new bonus series, The Fox Files! We’re exploring the lesser-remembered sitcoms of the early years of the Fox network and in doing so we will be exploring how Fox figured out how to defy expectations and actually succeed… for better or worse. In this episode, we’re looking at Duet, which either ran for three seasons or four, depending on how you look at it, and during that time told the story of one relationship through the sitcom format. It’s a lot more sexually forward than you’d find on the other three broadcast networks at this point in time, and that’s kind of the point.
