The Fox Files: The New Adventures of Beans Baxter
Added 2025-08-28 05:23:45 +0000 UTC“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 never think of the Arsenio Hall Show as Fox but I do always think of Studs as Fox network.
