Wild Oats is an American television sitcom that aired Sunday nights on Fox in 1994. ^[1]

Overview

The series focuses on a group of twenty-something friends in Chicago: Jack, a photographer; Brian, a social worker; Shelly, a fifth-grade teacher; and Liz, a hairdresser.

Wild Oats aired on Fox at 9:30 ET on Sunday nights. Despite having the aging but still-popular Married... with Children as a lead-in, the new show drew small audiences against the other networks, who all ran highly-rated movies from 9pm onward. The comedy was canceled after only four episodes, leaving two others unaired.
