Top 10 Television Sitcoms of the 1990s


these shows were about friends families
and nothing
those stories forget the story you gotta
have a story welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’ll be counting down the top
10 sitcoms of the 1990s this music is
death exceptionally death come be I’m
dope number 10
The Fresh Prince of bel-air kicking off
our list is the show that made Will
Smith a star and gave us to aunt Viv’s
one bitchy British Butler a dad with a
short fuse and the Carlton dance sure it
may not have one boat loads of awards
but we’re guilty of busting out that
handshake every once in a while it was
okay The Fresh Prince also gets credit
for having the greatest theme song of
any show on this list I pulled up to a
house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the
cabbie yo homes smell you later
looked at my kingdom I was finally there
to sit on my throne as the Prince of
bel-air number nine Home Improvement
does everybody know what time it is you
know Holman proved it’s not just about
renovating the kitchen there’s a lot of
other ways to improve your home always
be aware of your partners knees if you
watch sitcoms in the 90s there’s a good
chance you knew where to find Binford
tools
great neighborly advice bearded
sidekicks and sexy tool time girls you
may also remember when jtt was on the
cover of every Tiger Beat in sight did
we only watch the show to see people
blow things up all the time
I turn into a wild hairy disgusting ape
huh I don’t think so Tim number eight
married with children who doesn’t want
to sit around with a remote in one hand
and the other down their pants
Al Bundy and his family led the way for
controversial sitcoms by constantly
defying the censors with a hot wife who
wouldn’t do housework no I want you to
do something from me you’ve been
promising for a long time what’s that
you say hey I’m sorry it’s this this
done
not that I meant something that would
require movement on your part a dumb
blonde daughter and I want to be
womanizer for a son it’s no wonder L was
so bitter and the Bundys were the poster
family of dysfunction number seven mad
about you here’s the equation take a
likable husband add a neurotic wife and
a dumb dog and you’ve got a hit
we always love seeing crossovers between
this series and other NBC hits like
friends and Seinfeld as with most 90
sitcoms Mad About You dealt with a
trivial everyday annoyances and two
nutty family friends and guest stars
that’s poorly on a pony That’s not me
oh you’re right you’re right it’s a
picture of France it’s moments like that
that kept us watching until the show
jumped into the final frontier number
six Roseanne Roseanne I have a problem
the carpet the corner of my living room
is loose and I need Dan to fix it
Jackie remember when I was 10 years old
and I told you that you could come to me
anytime that you had a problem while I
was tan the Connors were an average
blue-collar American family and brought
real life back to sitcoms whether they
were hanging Christmas lights
celebrating Halloween or smoking old
weed Roseanne and her clan were edgy it
may not have been highbrow but Roseanne
was definitely well-written and had one
of the more memorable sitcom finales of
the decade number five Murphy Brown this
show never backed away from hot topics
Murphy Brown confronted every political
story Under the Sun was constantly
lampooning sitting presidents and
tackled single motherhood bitingly smart
writing an endless supply of dumb
politicians and perfectly cast roles
helped Murphy Brown succeed what’s the
matter
Murphy wasn’t invited to the inaugural
ball I mean I could understand if I
hadn’t been invited but you
I know why I’m not going I’m not on the
a-list yet but to have been there and
fallen in fact Candice Bergen was so
good as this brash TV journalist she
finally just pulled herself out of the
running for the Emmy number for The
Simpsons
you may argue about the Simpsons since
the show made it well past the 90s but
we’ve included it on our list because
that’s the decade when the show hit its
stride Springfield is a second home to
kids in the 90s Moe is our bartender
Flanders our neighbor and Homer our dead
then him gurus he knows what he’s doing
The Simpsons are one of the most beloved
families in TV history animated or not
number three Frasier could any other
spin-off brag about 37 Emmys by blending
workingman comedy with hoity-toity humor
this Cheers offshoot found a huge
audience
sure Frasier and Niles weren’t always
the most lovable guys with their pompous
attitudes and endless neuroses oh I
can’t thank you enough I’d I feel this
overwhelming urge to hug you remember
what mom always said handshake is as
good as a hug but Eddie always balances
them out pretty well plus those guest
star callers were always a treat we’re
listening I mean the hypomanic symptoms
are there yet I’ve experienced moments
it’s a Phase II and a proxy and I just
want to pull my teeth out dr. grey what
what do you think number two friends six
friends living and loving in New York
the premise seems stale now but friends
was groundbreaking when it debuted and
it truly became a cultural phenomenon
from the hairdos and giant coffee mugs
to Joey’s hey how you doing – Ross and
Rachel’s break this series was packed
with memories we’re not proud but we
still cry when Rachel gets off that damn
plane I got off the plane could this
show be any more of a hit number one
Seinfeld taking the top spot on our list
is a show about nothing
so we
with NBC we tell them I got an idea for
a show about nuff exactly they say
what’s your show about I say nothing
there you go
I think you may have something here
without any real unifying plot this show
made 90s TV with its stars observational
humor and the chemistry between its
characters Seinfeld may not have won all
the awards but it’s the 90 sitcom we
continue to quote on a daily basis
serenity now serenity now what is that
the show also crushes it in syndication
and that’s why Seinfeld remains master
of its domain the 1990s were full of
hilarious sitcoms and must-see TV make

your favorites we’ve left off our list
