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 Butler

Neve Campbell as Julia Salinger of Party of Five, 1998
Party of Five was the story of the tragic Salinger family, five children who were forced to band together after their parents’ death. It ran from 1994 to 2000. The show helped bring more critical acclaim to FOX, who almost cancelled the show just before it was nominated as Best Drama for the Golden Globes. It made a star of Neve Campbell, who played sensitive 15-year old Julia. Her character dealt with heavy issues, including a teen pregnancy. Campbell went on to appear in the Scream movie franchise and will next be seen in the TV series, Titanic: Blood and Steel.
