I don't know if anybody even remembers "Great Scott!" but it was a 1992 Fox comedy series starring Tobey Maguire and Kevin Connolly that was created and produced by Tom Gammil and Max Pross, who later produced "Seinfeld" and "The Simpsons".  Fox gave the series the worst time slot it had Sunday at 6:00 P.M. (Central) against 60 minutes.  They made 13 episodes and only aired 6.  They would do the same thing years later with the "Wonderfalls"series.  "The Ben Stiller Show" was put on the 1/2 hour after "Great Scott" and was cancelled a little later.  Fox was putting on a lot of great comedy series at this time and cancelling them just as quickly.  It's a shame because I thought "Great Scott" was one of the better comedy series of the 90's and it deserves a DVD release like "Wonderfalls" got.  It seems like a natural for Shout Factory.
