HOT GALLERY: Snakkle Celebrates 25 Years of FOX with Our 13 Favorite Characters
D’oh! Has it really been 25 years since the FOX Network first graced our television screens? Launched in April of 1987, Rupert Murdoch created the “fourth network” to compete with the old guard, otherwise known as ABC, CBS, and NBC. Married…With Children and The Tracey Ullman Show were among its prime-time debuts in 1987, with shows like 21 Jump Street and Duet soon rounding out the programming. Of course, these were only the beginning. In honor of 25 years on air, Snakkle celebrates 13 of our favorite FOX characters. By Katherine ButlerProduced by Aaron Spelling, the first incarnation of Beverly Hills, 90210 was a ratings juggernaut for FOX. Running from 1990 to 2000, it made stars out of most of its cast. Carrying the mantle of “bad boy dreamboat” was Luke Perry, who played handsomely troubled and infamous virgin deflowerer Dylan McKay. Perry also became infamous for being one of the oldest teenagers on TV, as he was in his mid-20s when he first played 16-year old Dylan. Recently, he appeared in a Western for the Hallmark Channel called Goodnight for Justice: The Measure of a Man. As he spoke of the role to Us Magazine his character is “no Dylan McKay.” Here is Perry talking Dylan and his recent work.
