Monday’s Guilty Pleasure: Flying Blind

January 10th, 2005

Filed under: General, TV

Flying Blind logoFlying Blind was a half-hour comedy shown on FOX on and off from the fall of 1992 to the spring of 1993. It tells the story of the neurotic loser Neil (Corey Parker) who meets a wild and crazy girl (Téa Leoni). In some ways, it was a forerunner of Dharma and Greg, though admittedly without the much of the subtlety.

Flying Blind was a brash show — but that was where it was fun. Being on Fox in the early 90’s, it pushed the envelope a lot more than regular network TV did. This was the Ned and Stacey version of the “opposites attract sitcom” (and both starred Thomas Hayden Church, trying to break out of his village idiot Wings role).

While not necessarily a “great show” that will go down in history, it was a great show to relax and laugh to….plus Téa Leoni.

    Heh. I remember that show. For some reason my local Fox affiliate aired it at some ungodly hour of the night so I had to set the VCR. It was on either right before or after a show which I think was called “Whoops!”, a sitcom about the survivors of a nuclear holocaust.

    I remember that one too. That was right after Flying Blind (or before it). All I can say is that Whoops! made Flying Blind look like pure comedy genius.
