On This Day: June 29 1988 - Final Episode of The Bronx Zoo Aired on NBC
On this day June 29 1988, the final episode of The Bronx Zoo aired on NBC. The drama ran for 2 seasons with a total of 21 episodes and focused on life inside a struggling inner city high school in the Bronx. Ed Asner starred as the no nonsense principal trying to balance discipline with compassion in a school plagued by problems.

While the show received critical praise for its grounded storytelling and socially conscious themes, it had difficulty maintaining strong ratings. Despite its short run, The Bronx Zoo stood out for tackling real issues in an era mostly known for glossy television.

80s insight: The Bronx Zoo was part of a wave of 80s programming that took risks by putting real world problems on primetime TV, proving that the decade had room for more than just flash and fun.
