"The George Carlin Show" was an American television sitcom that aired on Fox Broadcasting from January 1994 to July 1995 [ [http://epguides.com/GeorgeCarlinShow/ "The George Carlin Show" (a Titles and Air Dates Guide) ] ] . It was created jointly by veteran TV producer Sam Simon and the show's namesake, comedian George Carlin.

The series centered around George O'Grady (Carlin), a taxi cab driver living in New York City. The show, for the most part, took place in The Moylan Bar, run by bartender Jack Donahue (Anthony Starke). The setting's real-life basis was the now-defunct Moylan Tavern, a young Carlin's neighborhood bar on Broadway between La Salle Street and Tiemann Place in the Morningside Heights neighborhood, and owned by the grandparents of "TV Guide" writer-editor Maitland McDonagh.

As Carlin notes on his website: "January, 1994 - 'The George Carlin Show' premieres on Fox Television. Lasts 27 episodes. Lesson learned: always check mental health of creative partner beforehand. Loved the actors, loved the crew. Had a great time. Couldn't wait to get the fuck out of there. Canceled December, 1995".
