History[]
TCF Television Productions, Inc. (1949–1958)[]
20th Century Fox Television was originally formed in 1949 by 20th Century-Fox as other studios were branching out into television production. The company was known as TCF Television Productions, Inc. from its inception until 1958. Its first TV series was Crusade in Europe, which was produced for ABC.[5]
In 1955, Fox intended to set up a TV film subsidiary on the company's Western Avenue lot in Hollywood, but it never materialized.[6][7]
Fox didn't produce another TV show until 1955, when it launched its very first series, The 20th Century-Fox Hour on CBS, after the success of ABC's hit show Disneyland.[8] In 1956, Fox sold its second show to CBS, My Friend Flicka, which is based on the Flicka film series.[9]
Later that year, Irving Asher, who was a very successful film producer, was made general manager of TCF Television Productions.[10] In 1956, Fox sold the Broken Arrow TV project, which is based on the 1950 film of the same name, to ABC.[11]
In 1957, Fox cemented a pact with National Telefilm Associates (NTA) to produce How to Marry a Millionaire, which was based on the 1953 movie of the same name, and Man Without a Gun. NTA served as distributor of the series, which were to play on the NTA Film Network.[12][13]
20th Century-Fox Television (1958–1985)[]
In 1958, the company was renamed to 20th Century-Fox Television. Around the same time, Martin Manulis, producer of CBS' Playhouse 90, joined 20th Century-Fox as head of television.[14] Under Manulis' watch, the company developed Adventures in Paradise for ABC, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis for CBS and Five Fingers for NBC.[15][16] In the following year, Fox also sold the drama Hong Kong to ABC.[17]
By 1960, Roy Huggins, who was lured from Warner Bros. Television, was tapped to join 20th Century-Fox Television as vice president in charge of production.[18] During Huggins' watch, he is known for refreshing the Hong Kong show.[19] He also oversaw the development of the three programs for ABC, which were the comedy Margie and dramas Follow the Sun and Bus Stop.[20] In 1961, William Self was appointed to replace Huggins.[21]
In 1962, the company decreased its output to one show, then produced no shows by 1963. Roy Huggins departed to join Revue Studios.[22] During the short-lived dark period in 1963, the company had signed Hal Kanter and Paul Monash to production deals.[23] Later that year, highly successful feature film producer Irwin Allen was moved from its feature film unit to its television unit to serve as producer for the studio.[24]
The company had returned to producing prime-time programs by 1964. The first shows were the ABC sitcom Valentine's Day, the ABC dramas Peyton Place, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and 12 O'Clock High; and the NBC drama Daniel Boone.[25] Later that year, William Dozier and his Greenway Productions studio signed a deal with 20th Century-Fox to develop TV shows.[26] By 1965, Fox was producing several new shows for primetime, such as The Legend of Jesse James, The Long, Hot Summer, The Loner and Irwin Allen's science-fiction drama Lost in Space,[27] to be followed by Batman, which is based on the comic book series, and Blue Light.[28][29]
The 1966–67 season was not a good year for Fox's TV unit, which was producing the ABC sitcom The Tammy Grimes Show and the ABC dramas The Man Who Never Was, The Felony Squad, The Green Hornet and Irwin Allen's science-fiction show The Time Tunnel. Although most of the new shows in the season didn't last long, Felony Squad turned out to be a hit.[30] The 1967–68 season was similarly poor for Fox, as it only had two new shows, Custer and Judd, for the Defense, both for ABC. Although Custer bombed, Judd, for the Defense was initially popular. It was cancelled after only two seasons. Fox also expanded its output to commission a Saturday morning show in collaboration with Filmation, Journey to the Center of the Earth.[31]
The 1968–69 season was an even worse year for 20th Century-Fox Television, which saw the British co-production Journey to the Unknown and Irwin Allen's final science-fiction drama to be produced, Land of the Giants, for ABC; the CBS drama Lancer; and the NBC sitcoms The Ghost & Mrs. Muir and Julia. Although Julia was deemed a hit, most of the shows in the season crumbled. Fox did have one additional Saturday morning cartoon for Filmation, Fantastic Voyage.[32][33] In 1969, Fox entered the game show fray by signing a deal to distribute Beat the Clock, a revival of the instantly popular 1950s game show.[34] The decade closed out with the 1969-70 TV season and two new programs, Room 222 for ABC and Bracken's World for NBC.[35] Also that year, Grant Tinker was hired to join the studio. Two years later, he quit due to conflicts with running MTM Enterprises.[36][37]
The 1970s was not a good decade for Fox's TV unit. Though the studio started strong this decade with the shows Nanny and the Professor on ABC and Arnie for CBS,[38][39] the studio did have one hit for the decade, M*A*S*H, and later on, in 1979, produced another hit, Trapper John, M.D., which was immediately popular in the 1980s.[40] Other Fox shows for the 1970s, like the dramas Cade's County, Planet of the Apes, The New Perry Mason, Irwin Allen's The Swiss Family Robinson, Young Dan'l Boone, James at 15, W.E.B., The Paper Chase, Anna and the King, Roll Out, Karen, Loves Me, Loves Me Not, Husbands, Wives & Lovers and Billy all bombed, although The Paper Chase became a cult classic and gave Showtime additional seasons.[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]
Fox also distributed the game show Masquerade Party, produced by Stefan Hatos-Monty Hall Productions, aired for the 1974–75 season.[53] From 1976 to 1978, Fox distributed Liar's Club for two years, and also distributed Celebrity Sweepstakes, both of these were produced by Ralph Andrews Productions.[54][55] In 1973, Fox is distributing the syndicated Canadian videotape production The Starlost, produced by Glen-Warren Productions.[42]
In 1980, television producer Glen A. Larson quit Universal and joined 20th Century-Fox Television.[56] The first show was The Fall Guy, which was a hit and the only Fox/Larson show to do so. The other Fox/Larson collaborations Trauma Center, Manimal, Automan, Masquerade, Cover Up and Half Nelson didn't fare well due to poor ratings.[57][58][59][60] By August 1980, other producers and agencies, like Clyde Phillips (Blue Hill Avenue Productions), former employee of Bob Banner Associates and Marc Merson (Brownstone Productions), former employee of Lorimar Productions had struck a deal with the studio.[61]
Other series of the early 80s, like Hagen, Breaking Away, Ladies' Man, Jessica Novak, 9 to 5, It's Not Easy, Emerald Point N.A.S. and AfterMASH did not fare well in the ratings, although AfterMASH ended up being a minor hit, especially in its first season, and 9 to 5 going well in syndication after being a minor network hit in its original ABC run.[62][63][64][65][66][67][68] In 1984, James L. Brooks and his Gracie Films company was moved to 20th Century-Fox for a film and TV partnership, creating a long relationship that was lasted until the early 1990s when he moved to Sony.[69]

Law and the ABC dramedy Hooperman, and marked the return of success for its television studio.[72] During that same year, Fox returned to success with the sitcom Mr. Belvedere, which was an instantly popular hit. Also that same year, Fox has sold its sitcom Charlie & Co. to CBS, which was tanked after only one season.[73] The second new sitcom under the Murdoch regime was Fathers and Sons, which was sold to NBC, which was also flopped after one season.[74]
In 1986, Fox had purchased the assets of Metromedia, including its television stations and the distribution subsidiary, Metromedia Producers Corporation, who has currently distributing the series at that time, Small Wonder.[75][76][77] Fox has also sold The Wizard to CBS, and Heart of the City to ABC for the 1986-1987 television season in addition to L.A. Law on NBC, which helped save the television industry of Fox.[78][79] Fox also introduced the sitcom The Tracey Ullman Show, produced by Gracie Films for the Fox network, which introduced The Simpsons, that the success spawned a spinoff in 1989 that saved Fox's struggling television unit.[80][81] Fox also distributed the sitcom The New Adventures of Beans Baxter, produced internally by Fox Square Productions.[82]
For the 1987–88 season, Fox has sold the sitcom Second Chance to the then-new Fox television network, and sold the drama Leg Work to CBS, and the sitcom Pursuit of Happiness to ABC, in addition to Hooperman.[83][84] In the mid-1980s, John Ritter and his Adam Productions company signed a contract with Fox to produce material.
