TV shows you watch in the '90s....

[Warped9]

The '90s are quite a ways behind us now. I thought it could be fun to look back at what our favourites were and what we were watching.

Regularly watching:
Babylon 5 (I started watching mid way during Season 1 and was immediately hooked)
Batman (the animated series)
Batman Beyond
Crusade
Earth: Final Conflict (I loved Season 1, but bailed about mid way during Season 2)
Frasier
JAG (I caught up in reruns and then hung in until the end)
Law & Order
Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit
Now And Again (good intial premise and start, but sadly it petered out)
Nowhere Man (interesting, but didn't go anywhere)
Stargate: SG-1
Star Trek - Deep Space Nine (watching through to Season 3 then bailed because B5 was better)
Superman (the animated series)
The X-Files

Sporadically watching:
Cheers
China Beach
Due South
Forever Knight
In The Heat Of The Night
Married, With Children
Newhart
The Outer Limits
Pinky And The Brain
Quantum Leap
Seven Days
Star Trek - The Next Generation
Star Trek - Deep Space Nine (sporadic viewing from Season 3 onward)
Unsolved Mysteries
The West Wing
Xena: Warrior Princess


Anyone else?

[sojourner]

Law and Order:SVU and Now and Again both premiered in 1999.

Considering the former show is still running, not sure I would classify it as "90's".

Technically true, but Now And Again only ran the one season and I began watching SVU when it premiered and watched evry episode of the first season.

That's it for now.

 

[Warped9]

That's it for now.

Yeah, I don't think there were too many shows we watched throughout the entire decade. There would definitely have been some overlap including shows that had actually started in the '80s as well as shows that continued on into the 2000s.

It's not easy to remember them all. I also didn't include shows I glanced at once or twice and then never bothered with again. One of those would have VOY where I sampled a few episodes and then never looked at again.

One thing I realized doing my list was I was more into the half hour shows. I don't remember many hour shows other than trek, leap, (Babylon 5 was something I watched but didn't remember it until I got the DVDs in the 00's) and maybe Sliders. Now I do see more hour shows than comedies because other than maybe one or two, I ca either see them in syndication (big bang theory) or I have no interest.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

How can I actually watch shows in the 90's? I don't have a time machine.

srsly: That would be Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Sliders (at least until it went off the rails) and QL.

I'm sorry. You don't know what you're missing.

Seriously, I noticed that typo several minutes after I posted the thread.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

The 90s took me from 7 to 17, so big range of tastes in the full decade. In middle school I watched a lot of terrible sitcoms.

Kids shows I watched:
Garfield and Friends
Animaniacs
Tiny Toons
Doug
Rugrats
Ahh Real Monsters
Rocko's Modern Life
Ren and Stimpy
All That
Pete & Pete
Are You Afraid Of The Dark

Terrible sitcoms I watched:
Full House
Family Matters
Home Improvement
Step By Step
Boy Meets World

Shows I still watch:
The Simpsons
South Park
Saturday Night Live

[John Clark]

Quite a few I watched have already been mentioned but I'll also add Space: Above and Beyond to the list.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Some I've watched but haven't seen mentioned yet:

NYPD Blue
ER
Party of Five

 

[J.T.B.]

One thing I realized doing my list was I was more into the half hour shows.

Yeah, me too. There was Twin Peaks right at the beginning, and I watched NYPD Blue for a few years, but I didn't catch Homicide or Law and Order till years later. When I think back, the '90s were about three comedies: The Simpsons, Seinfeld and The Larry Sanders Show. Each, I think, pretty groundbreaking in TV history.

 

[Warped9]

I forgot about Seinfeld which I watched sporadically.

 

[Admiral2]

My list from those already mentioned:

Babylon 5
Batman (the animated series)
Batman Beyond
Law & Order
Stargate: SG-1

Ummm... I think that's it. I didn't watch a lot of older shows during the '90s like I did during the '80s and '00s.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Man, I totally forgot Platypus Man. Probably for the best.

 

[Timewalker]

I don't remember many hour shows other than trek, leap, (Babylon 5 was something I watched but didn't remember it until I got the DVDs in the 00's) and maybe Sliders.

I forgot to mention Sliders! (and probably a few others)

EDIT: Yep, forgot one of my favorites: Keeping Up Appearances

You Can't Do That On Television

Somebody at the YTV network in Canada must have had a sense of humor. They scheduled a program that to this day I've no idea what it was about since I never bothered to find out, but it resulted in these consecutive listings in the TV Guide:

You Can't Do That On Television
Yes You Can
