Forgotten TV: Down The Shore (1992)

There was a time when Fox programmed their Sunday night lineup for a full four hours (7-11 pm ET). The only time they have anything airing after 10 now is usually when the network carries the Super Bowl.

In the summer of 1992, Fox tried out some new sitcoms, such as Down The Shore, as in Jersey Shore. You have a house with three men & three women. Chaos ensues, and the series lasted almost a full calendar year, with 29 episodes over two seasons before being cancelled.

To most folks, Pamela Segall (Adlon) is better known now for her cartoon work (i.e. King of The Hill), and I believe this was still early in her acting career.

One hook to the show had a definite Jersey feel, the theme song performed by Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, and composed by Bruce Springsteen's long-time sidekick, Steven Van Zandt.

Edit, 4/1/22: The video has been privatized. In its place is the intro:

Louis Mandylor (ex-China Beach) later turned up in the "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" movies.

Rating: C. As in, cheesy.
