Monty (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monty was a 1990's television sitcom on the FOX channel, starring Henry Winkler as an loud, obnoxious conservative commentator and David Schwimmer as his left-leaning son-in-law. Monty hoped to capitalize on the same family dynamic that made the television classic All in the Family a success, while paying tribute to popular contemporary right-wing political pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Morton Downey, Jr.

However, what seemed like a winning formula blew up in the producers' faces when Monty was cancelled just weeks after its debut. However, the failure of Monty proved to be a blessing for its young co-star David Schwimmer, who would move on to the hugely successful Friends a short time later.
