Somewhere in my vast collection of Video Tapes (most of which are in storage) I have every episode of this show. It followed Ben Stiller's superior sketch show, but his show was good too. None of the other user comments mentions that this was really Julie Brown's show. Julie had first had success with the MTV show 'Just Say Julie', and also recorded 'Trapped in the Body of a White Girl' and 'The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun'. A very funny woman. What first struck me about 'The Edge' was Jennifer Aniston, who looked like, to me at least, a dark haired Christina Applegate. I found it funny, years later, when Christina Applegate turned up on 'Friends' playing Rachel's (Jennifer Aniston) sister. FOX many times gave shows a little time to develop despite low ratings, but Ben Stiller's & Julie Brown's shows weren't recipients of that courtesy. It's too bad, because those were two funny shows.

Fox is best known for its brief, short-lived sitcoms. "In Living Color" was a short-lived success and it's possible a new kind of comedy series was waiting to happen. The result was "The Edge", which lasted for one season. It starred the then unknown Jennifer Aniston and Wayne Knight. Jennifer Aniston would later gain notoriety as Rachel in the hit show "Friends". She would also be Mrs. Brad Pitt. But for the time of this show, she was a regular comic actress in several skits. Wayne Knight would later enjoy success as Newman in Seinfeld, as Dennis in "Jurassic Park" and as Don in "Third Rock From The Sun". This show was a burst of energy and very hilarious. It directly influenced "Mad TV" which would begin only a couple of years later. Mad TV is the more successful show, still on the air. The biggest joke in this series was that every time the show began, the cast was killed off in one way or another- by giant swords, by trucks, you name it. It was another comic show from the early 90's that may seem silly and dull now, but back then was hilarious.

This was one of the least appreciated shows of all time. This show did not just push the envelope it threw it out the window. Dark and bizarre humor ruled this short lived Fox comedy. But then again, aren't most Fox shows? This show did catapult Jennifer Aniston to stardom. But I will not blame this show for that.

Not bad, but it is really stupid, so please don´t expect too much from this TV series. Well, I guess that´s why they canceled it.Anyway, two or three actors got out from here, Jennifer Aniston and Wayne Knight, so enjoy watching them do something stupid.
