10. Martin
I don't remember much of this show but I do remember laughing at it all the time. Martin Lawrence was awesome with all the characters that he played in the show besides his main character. Who didn't love them some Sheneneh?
9. Full House
It was cheesy but it would tug at your heart strings sometimes. Thanks DJ for teaching me that I need to eat. Especially if I'm going to the gym. Fitting into that two-piece bathing suit is not more important than my health. The fake family was much more together and functional than the real people. Bob Saget was not the wholesome dad. Atlantis Morrissette wrote a song about Joey. Stephanie became a meth addict. And the Michelles should have watched the DJ eating episode.
8. Walker, Texas Ranger
Chuck Norris and 1990s
7. The Simpsons
The show that just keeps on showing. The first time I saw this show, the NES was the best out there with its 8 bit graphics. It maybe a show that has been a part of four different decades but I will always think of it as the 1990s. This is a show that has undertones that most people do not get.
6. Coach
This was a show that I watched as a kid and understood very little of it. However, I loved it. I laughed and laughed. Craig T. Nelson's dry sense of humor mixed great with Jerry Van Dyke's slapstick humor that complimented Bill Fagerbakke's goofiness. Plus it was a comedy about football mixed in with some serious times and lessons learned.
5. Fresh Prince
A really funny and smart show that took an interesting look at lots of social issues of the time. The characters were fun. Uncle Phil the grumpy overweight guy. Carlton the over-achieving nerd who thinks the best of the world. Will being the rags to riches guy. Plus it had the catchiest theme song. West Philadelphia born and raised...
4. Saved By the Bell
It's the first Saturday morning show that I watched that wasn't a cartoon. I'm sure there were others but it was the first that I remember watching. The cheese factor was off the scale. The jocks, nerds, dorks and geeks were over the top. It had a G rated ongoing love triangle with Zack, Kelly and Slater. It had a pretty girl being chased by the guy that could never have her. They would confront issues for teens of the time. Where else would we have learned to say nope to dope?
3. Star Trek: The Next Generation
I hear ya. Nerdy sci-fi show. I bet you didn't even watch it. Well, you should have watched it. You rarely walk away from any Star Trek episode without learning something. It was almost always a fun adventure with a moral issue mixed into it. Oh and I bet you have seen the latest Star Trek movies. Guess what, they are not made if Star Trek had not been revived in the late 80s and took off in the 90s.
2. Friends
This is the show that created the rule that I did not have to watch the show in the 90s in order to make the list. I just started watching it this past summer. It is hilarious. I constantly laugh when I see it. Who wouldn't want to be those guys? Living in NYC in your 20s and 30s. Its the show that makes you miss the 90s. Plus it gave us that good Greek girl, Jennifer Aniston. I really wish I had watched this show during its original run.
1. Seinfeld
The show about nothing. The more I watch this show, the more I love it. It never gets old. I think I have seen every episode at least three times. Yet the more I watch it, the more I realize how rude and arrogant the characters are on the show and I still love the show. George is so worried about getting recognized for things, getting out of working and breaking up with women who are way out of his league. Elaine is insensitive. Kramer is the slacker's dream. Never has a job yet still has money and knows how to freeload off any and everyone. Jerry is the glue of the group. He is all about himself. Must be why it was named Seinfeld.
