While Fox began operating in 1986,[1][2] it began its official primetime lineup the following year with the series Married... with Children and The Tracey Ullman Show.[3][4][5]

As of October 2012, Fox maintains 19.5 hours of network programming per week. The animated comedy series The Simpsons is one of Fox's most popular shows,[4] becoming the network's first series to rank among the top 30-highest-rated shows of a television season after its original debut,[6] and is the longest running sitcom, as well as animated series, of all time, contributing to the network's success.[3] According to Lanford Beard of Entertainment Weekly, "The Simpsons have transformed Fox from a small, ignored network into a global network that cannot be ignored."[3] The science fiction television series The X-Files also contributed to the network's success, which led to two spin-offs Millennium and The Lone Gunmen.[7][8] Fox began airing in high-definition on September 12, 2004, with a series of National Football League (NFL) American football games. Fox had a programming block for children titled Fox Kids, which ran from September 8, 1990, to September 7, 2002.[9]

Unlike the "three larger networks", which aired primetime programming from 8 to 11 p.m. (EST) Mondays to Saturdays and 7 to 11 p.m. (EST) Sundays, Fox has traditionally avoided programming in the 10 p.m. (EST) time interval, leaving that hour to affiliates to program locally (primarily with local newscasts).[10]

On April 21, 2012, Fox celebrated its 25th-anniversary, with a two-hour television special featuring people related to Fox and its shows. It presented Fox's programs 24, American Idol, Cops, Family Guy, Married... with Children, The Simpsons, and The X-Files, among other programs.[3] The network's adult cartoons are listed under the Animation Domination banner, which is a Sunday night programming block.[11][12] Fox is a full member of the North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB).[13][14]
