Lost TV Sanctuary: Women in Prison (FOX 1987)

This was one of the sitcoms that aired during FOX’s first year.  It was paired up with Matthew Perry’s Second Chance.

I loved those early FOX sitcoms & comedies, even though most didn’t last long.  This one is no exception as it only ran for 13 episodes.

Despite all the episodes airing, this is a tough show to run across.  Here’s the random episodes that are available online…

Episode 1:  Internet Archive

Episode 4:  YouTube

Episodes 9 - 12:  YouTube

Episode 13:  YouTube

It’s a fun watch.  Wendy Jo Sperber (best known from Bosom Buddies) is always funny and CCH Pounder is giving off some early Mrs. Irene Frederic vibes.  And wow did they know how to make elaborate and cool show intros in the 80’s.

I hope to see the remaining 6 episodes someday.  In the meantime, here’s episode 1 - “Vickie Does Prison” (originally aired October 11, 1987) from the Internet Archive…
