“A Nightmare on Beans’ Street” (October 31, 1987)

Woof. Despite a charming pilot that sets up teenager Beans Baxter as Washington D.C.’s youngest spy, this Halloween adventure seems to have gone off the rails, what with pumpkinhead zombie insurance salesman and explicit confirmation that magic and vampires exist in this universe. And that’s too bad, because Fox’s first-ever foray into programming showed a lot of promise. Stay tuned for the exciting connection between Better Off Dead and Eek the Cat!

I've only seen one episode, the finale one titled "Beans in Jungleland" where he joins a black gang and I found it incredibly unfunny and racist.

Oh man Ross Shafer. As a gen-xer who grew up in the Suburbs of Seattle I remember him from Almost Live! which was the NBC affiliate’s version of a local SNL.

You were talking about not recognizing the songs played at the party. The one in the clip is Lou Christies “Lightning Strikes” Which I believe I first heard being sung by Bruce Willis in Moonlighting.

WENDY O. WILLIAMS WAS ON A SITCOM?!?!?

I always think of this and Johnny Bago (CBS) in the same thought - two short-lived quirky shows that I almost swear I made up!

I never think of the Arsenio Hall Show as Fox but I do always think of Studs as Fox network.
