Iconic 90's Tv Shows

I'm a big fan of the 1990's. I was young enough to be able to gloss over the horrible and tacky parts but old enough to remember all of the words to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song. It was a magical time. To celebrate I'm going to do a small series of blogs celebrating the decade. Here's the first one: Iconic 90's TV. Enjoy!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1997-2003 7 seasons WB, UPN
Remember back when vampires didn’t sparkle or generally like people? Us kids from the 90’s do! Buffy Summers was the kick-ass vampire hunter ridding the world of evil from Sunnydale High School. I’ve recently re-watched most of Buffy and it’s still amazing. Plus it’s fun to think of what Buffy would do to Edward Cullen.

Seinfeld 1989-1998 9 seasons NBC
You can't have a blog about 90's TV without talking about Seinfeld. This Iconic show pretty much epitomized what the 90’s where all about. So Join Jerry, Cosmo, Elaine and George in upstate New York for some coffee and cynicism. This one stands the test of time.

3rd Rock from the Sun 1996-2001 6 seasons NBC3rd Rock from the Sun was a staple in my house. One of my most vivid memories I have is fighting over who got the ‘TV guide 3-D glasses’ for the 3-D episode (please keep in mind this was a huge deal, it was 1997). We should all be grateful to 3rd Rock. Without it, we might not know Joseph Gordon-Levitt and that boy is quite easy on the eyes... Okay, maybe not so much in the 90’s, but defiantly now.

Friends 1994-2004 10 seasons NBC
It would be hard to find someone who hasn’t at least seen a couple of episodes of Friends thanks to constant re-runs. Easily one of the most popular shows of the 90’s and early 2000s, we all know the concept. Get it from a Library near you!

Fresh Prince of Bel Air 1990-1996 6 seasons NBC
Now, this is a story all about how Will Smith became king of the world! The Fresh Prince of Bel Air took young 80’s rapper Will Smith and put him in a sit-com that ensured his place in the 90’s hall of fame forever! So take a minute and sit right there because I’m pretty sure that you will love this one as much as you did a couple of decades ago. Plus his kids will probably be your boss one day.

Roswell 1999-2002 3 seasons WB, UPN
Okay, I know this show barely counts as 90’s TV but I love, love, love it so I’m sneaking it in here. The show is set in the town of Roswell, New Mexico, home of the famed ‘Roswell Incident’. The show is based around the life of Liz Parker and her relationship with the super-dreamy alien Max Evans. Based on the books by Melinda Metz which we also have at the library!

Honorable mentions include(but not limited to): Beverly Hills 90210, Saved by the Bell, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Freaks and Geeks, Full House, Step by Step, The X Files, Spin City, Frasier.
