The Best 90s TV Shows You Forgot About Unless You’re Gen X (Or a Xennial)
90s TV wasnāt just about shows made for Gen X. A lot of the stuff we loved wasnāt technically aimed at teens or college kids. Some were family shows, some were meant for older audiences. Didnāt matterāwe were watching anyway. And those are exactly the shows Iām going to talk about today.

For some reason, I always avoided Northern Exposure. I have no idea why

I love that you talked about Early Edition! It was one of my favorite shows growing up. I keep wishing it would be remade, but I donāt know howād theyād do it today. Since newspapers arenāt common anymore. I guess they could get a mysterious text each day? From an untraceable number? š¤·āāļø

I didn't watch "Sports Night" because ABC and all the critics INSISTED THAT I MUST MUST watch it. It can't be described without copying and pasting blurbs out of TV Guide. As for "Two Guys…" , it should've been called "Two Guys , a Dharma, and Pizza Place." It aired right after "Dharma and Greg".

I haven't been to Roslyn WA in over 20 years but the people there were absolute assholes to outsiders. I get that they were a small quiet town until Northern Exposure was filmed there but they were pricks.

i wish you had mentioned that Eerie, Indiana starred Omri Katz who went on to play Max in Hocus Pocus, a very important film to me as a kid. š

I remember watching a DVD of "The Incredibles" with my roommates back in in early 2000s. One of them commented "Sounds like Coach, looks like Dauber"

2 more not mentioned here but were from a time of many many great shows was the very short lived "Wish You Were Here" with Lew Schneider and "Strange Luck" with D. B. Sweeney.

Sports Night is one of the best shows of all time. I loved The West Wing and Newsroom, but Sports Night's 30 minute format just made the Sorkin humor seem more punchy.

I was born in 1979. I agree. The late 70s was the perfect time to be born.

The solution to Nowhere Man can be figured out early in the first episode. I didnāt realize until far into the series when I went back and rewatched with a particular question in my head. Very cool show.
