TV From The 90s Saved My Life.

[weirdnjfan1]

The thread Cartoons form the 90s saved my life got me thinking, while there are some great shows on TV today, there is a lot of crap out there too. So I was thinking that if it wasn't for Primetime TV from the 90s, my life would totally be lost. Shows like Northern Exposure, Quantum Leap, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and other shows made me make sure that my homework was done so that I could watch them at night. Shows like Mad About You and Frasier were over my head then, but now as I watch them on TV in rerun form, I really can see why they were on TV for so long. Other long forgotten classics like Sliders and The X Files, where way a head of the their time, were so good, that they had to be like that for just to get by. So with that conclusion, I personally think that with out 90s Primetime TV, I would feel really lost and not be attracted to so many shows that paved the way for so many that I watch on a regular basis.

Those show were great, just because of the fact that they were directed at teens. The only one that you forgot was California Dreams.

how they didn't get sued by the producers of Look Who's Talking, is beyond me.

i'm guessing the sassy one is a maid of some sorts.

Tony Danza and Scott Baio on the same show? i'm surprised that shit didn't spontaneously combust.

Married with Children (my friend actually has a NO MA'AM shirt*)

Rosanne

I really liked it when Doogie would type in his journal at the end of every episode. Strangely enough, I just remember really liking the way the keyboard sounded as he typed his inane homilies.
