Every 90s Kid Will Be Able To Name These TV Characters. Can You?

The '90s was an era when TV watching meant just that—TV watching. There was no Netflix and YouTube; there was just good ole’ Saturday morning cartoons, Sunday-afternoon-WB-movie lineups, and sprinting home after school to watch the newest episode of Pokémon. TV was at a golden era of sorts with shows like Full House, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Clarissa Explains It All, Double Dare, and the list seems infinite.

These shows reached their prime in the '90s, and some were lucky enough to continue on into the earlier years of the 2000s. Some were even luckier in continuing their streak to this day. But all good shows are only as good as the characters in them, and the '90s introduced us to so many that counting them would take... a very long time: Jerry Seinfeld, Monica Geller, Salem Saberhagen (Sabrina’s iconic black cat,), Xena, Hercules, Rachel’s many exes combined with Ross’s many exes and wives, yeah... long list.

Audiences sat down to watch them, laugh with them, applaud them, sometimes boo them, and occasionally even cry with them. Can you own your ‘90s kid’ title, and name these characters?

Question 1

Arnold's best friend for life. Who was he?

Nickelodeon hit off the ’90s with its line of animated programming. From Rugrats, Rocco’s Modern Life, Real, Real Monsters, and others in the listing, Nickelodeon released shows left and right for young viewers to become hooked on. Fortunately, Nickelodeon’s programming tends to feature morally centric shows like Hey Arnold! Hey Arnold! introduced viewers to a nine-year-old young boy with a football-shaped head, loving grandparents, and a diverse circle of friends. In this circle was one character remembered for his singing abilities and loyalty to Arnold, taking the role of best friend for the show’s entire run. In one memorable episode, his character undergoes a tonsillectomy and fears permanently losing his vocal abilities. What was this character’s name?

Question 2

He was responsible for quizzing Sabrina in her quest to earn her witch’s license. What was this character’s name?

Who can forget Sabrina The Teenage Witch? She was fearless, revolutionized ’90s fashion (which wasn’t all that glamorous, to begin with), was smart, witty, and just super cool – so cool that not even the coolest girl in school could strip her of her own popularity amongst their classmates. Above all – she was magical! Sabrina experienced many obstacles, made many best friends and boyfriends, and met relative after relative, which made for insane plot lines that kept viewers laughing. Sabrina also had a considerable lineup of teachers, including Mr.Pool, Mr. Kraft, and notably, one from “The Other Realm” who was introduced in season 2 of the show. His main job was quizzing the young witch in her quest to earn her witch’s license (The Other Realm’s version of your Driver’s License) and made the most inconvenient appearances in Sabrina’s life, including interrupting dates, hangouts, and even Sabrina’s mortal schooling. With him around, it’s almost a mystery that Sabrina managed to keep her witch identity a secret from all her other teachers, classmates, and friends alike. He was quickly phased out mid-season 3 after writers added a new plotline in Sabrina discovering her family secret. But while he was around, he and his ‘on-the-nose’ name became well known to viewers. What was this character’s name?

Question 3

She was Sabrina’s best friend in seasons 2-3 of Sabrina The Teenage Witch. What was her name?

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Again, on the topic of witches, every good witch needs a partner in crime, a bestie, someone to help her beat off the ghouls and evil witch-hunters, or simply a buddy to sing along to BackStreet Boys with at the end of a hectic Halloween night, as so happened in one iconic Halloween special for Sabrina and this one best friend. This character became Sabrina’s closest friend at the beginning of season 2 and continued on for these two seasons before being written off at the beginning of season four. Despite not knowing about Sabrina’s witch identity, she was there for the teenage witch through thick and thin, at times becoming an object of attack by Sabrina’s mortal and non-mortal enemies (Libby, Mr.Kraft, Other Realm witches).

Question 4

He was Will’s annoying cousin on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. What was his name?

The ’90s served to jump-start many actors’/singers’ careers. On this list is one of Hollywood’s highest-grossing and most reputable actors, Will Smith. Undeniably talented and charming, Will Smith started as a rapper and eventually landed his own TV show in the end of the ’80s (most of this show’s run was in the ’90s, so this question is fair game) titled “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” which also had a catchy opening theme rapped by the rising-to-fame Smith. Snotty, bratty, brainy, and a kiss-up to anyone who might advance his academic prospects, this character was the antithesis of Smith’s character. What was his name?

Question 5

He’s the main character in Pokemon. What’s his name?

Back to cartoons, let’s get into Pokemon, the golden brooch that closed the ’90s. This show’s rise to fame quickly took off in mid-1999 and has continued its streak up to the present day, making it probably one of the longest-running animated shows. Just like The Simpsons, this show’s titular character is ageless, remaining ten years old for over two decades now. He and his staple yellow Pokémon have gone from land to land seeking Pokémon and gym badges, battling Team Rocket, and encountering all sorts of legendary creatures and trainers along the way. Also known for his bravery, caps, backpack, and his undying sense of adventure, this character remains timeless even with the show’s many evolutions in its Pokémon, characters and Pokémon leagues. He’s one of television’s most loved cartoon characters and for good reason. What’s his name?

Question 6

She was Tommy Pickles’s mean-spirited three-year-old cousin. What was her name?

Rugrats got off to a slow start, airing its first season in 1991 and then having to take a hiatus after Nickelodeon stopped operating for the earlier half of the ’90s. Picking up with a second season in 1995, this show quickly rose to prominence, becoming a staple of Nickelodeon’s children’s programming; so great was its popularity that it inspired a line of toys, books, and three sequels (that’s just mentioning the big-screen films), and even a continuation spin-off in the early 2000s. This show’s titular character was Tommy Pickles, a spunky one-year-old whose sense of adventure and kind heart made him too adorable for words. He had a whole crew of infants and toddlers by his side and also one adversary in a three-year-old cousin of his. This young toddler and Tommy were night and day; she was bossy, bullying, and would do anything in her quest to get what she wanted, whether it be a new toy or a whole jar of cookies. Though she did show occasional streaks of goodness, she was mostly just plain bad and a worthy little villain for this light-hearted cartoon. What was her name?

Question 7

This Goosebumps character gave everyone around him the goosebumps. What was his name?

’90s kid or not, this TV series should be one you know by heart. Originally inspired by a series of books by R.L Stine, Goosebumps skyrocketed to fame in the early to mid-’90s and eventually became a TV series on FOX. The series adapted almost all of Stine’s installments, some which became a continuing series on their own. One, in particular, featured a talking and entertainingly evil-doing dummy the likes of Chucky: The Killer Doll. This toy caused all sorts of troubles for any kid who was unfortunate to become its new owner. From breaking guitars to breaking legs, this doll thought of every possible torture to get a rise and was used to getting his way through his atrocious acts. Fortunately, his victims always found a way to defeat him before anyone in their family ended up seriously hurt. Just like Chucky, this villainous dummy bounced back time and time again. Remembered for wearing a black suit, a red bow-tie, and an orange hairdo that was iconic to his look, he was definitely one of the creepiest of Stine’s creations, and to this day, Goosebumps fans probably remember his name. What was it?

Question 8

What was the name of this flame-throwing, disobedient, Fire-type Pokemon?

Pokemon, in its quick spark to popularity, introduced the world to 151 creatures that were replicated into toys, onto t-shirts, and most notably, in the polemic card game that continues to fill kids’ bedrooms and drain parents’ wallets. When it first released, these 151 Pokemon introduced a character that immediately became coveted by all fans in its evolutions and its tremendous power level. It made its onscreen debut at around episode ten or so of season one’ and at first, it won the hearts of viewers in its cute presentation. Small, orange, dinosaur-looking, and with a flame that came in handy during battle or just when its trainer needed heating up, this Pokemon was lovable and equally resourceful. It remained seemingly obedient and caring for most of season one until it evolved into its second stage, a chameleon-looking creature that took on an attitude change for the worst (you could say it was the Pokémon version of puberty); it became disobedient, lazy, and just an overall pain for our titular character to manage. This personality hit its peak when this Pokemon achieved its third form while battling an Aerodactyl atop some prehistoric ruins. What’s this character’s third and ultimate evolution called?

Question 9

Jasmine’s unconventional and loyal pet/companion. What was his name?

Jasmine petting a tiger

This is one of those TV shows that was inspired as a direct continuation to its film originator, “Aladdin.” And just like the movie, it was well received by audiences, leading to its three-season run and two home movies (Return of Jafar and Aladdin and The King of Thieves). The show followed the adventures of Aladdin as he juggled spending time with his royal fiancee, Jasmine; roaming the streets of Agrabah on his flying carpet with Abu, Iago, and Genie by his side; and fighting crime. While Aladdin had no trouble dealing with all sorts of exotic animals (the guy strutted around with a parrot and monkey!), there was one animal he had a few close encounters with in its protectiveness of Jasmine: a tiger. This wasn’t just any tiger but a domesticated pet to Jasmine, which meant Aladdin had to see it on the daily. Through time, it warmed up to Aladdin and came to adore him almost as much as its owner. Though not a key player in the show’s plotlines, this feline made an appearance in almost every episode and held his own place in the palace of Agrabah. Orange, black-striped, and a purring royalty, what was this character’s name?

Question 10

Tia and Tamera’s Nextdoor Neighbor. What was his name?

Full House wasn’t the only ’90s show to feature twins on its cast list. In the early ’90s, the world was introduced to two adorable twins who stole the hearts of millions (ironically, these twins had their TV debut on Full House as classmates to Stephanie); their names were Tia and Tamera, and the show is one that surely still rings in the ears of millennials: Sister, Sister. Looks aside, this sisterly duo were polar opposites; Tia was studios, honest, appreciative, and responsible; Tamera was lazy, carefree, spoiled, whiny, and had no problem in lying to save herself from certain academic failure, even if that meant bringing Tia down in her farfetched schemes. This show introduced a whole group of characters (regular and recurring) who followed along for the ride in the twins’ adventures; exes to the twins’ adoptive parents, Lisa and Ray; jealous classmates like Rhona; and their own steady boyfriends, Jordan and Tyrique. But of all these secondary characters, one found his way into the hearts of viewers from episode one. This love-stricken admirer of this twins lived next door, was often over uninvited, and professed his love to the twins on countless occasions, saying that “age was just a number,” as he was a year or two younger. Funny enough (and to the writers’ advantage,) this character blossomed and hit a growth spurt after puberty, having him grow into his body, looks, and finally, into the twins’ hearts. Of course, this three-way romance was short-lived, and things quickly went back to normal in the Sister, Sister Universe. What was this character’s name?

Question 11

The Powerpuff Girls’ sworn Arch-Nemesis. What was this character’s name?

Cartoons were at their best in the ’90s (both on the big and the small screen,) and this applies to both national and cable broadcasting. Along with networks like Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, Cartoon Network hit its boom with several cartoon shows like Johnny Bravo, Johnny Quest, Dexter’s Laboratory, and The PowerPuff Girls. Arguably, The PowerPuff Girls ended up the most successful as it landed its own feature-length movie and lasted for a six-season run. This show starred three, all-too-cute, crime-fighting sisters created in a lab by a zany scientist. Their names were Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup. They each had their own nifty superpower that helped saved the day again and again. With every good trio of superheroes comes an arsenal of villains; for these girls, there were many, most which would come back for seconds only to be thwarted once again by the show’s miniature heroines. Amongst these villains was one who stood out in his extravagant attire (white hat, purple cape, and blue suit), his distinguishing accent, and his relentless pursuits toward world domination. His evildoings earned him a spot as the show’s number one villain. What was his name?

Question 12

He was one of Mary’s boyfriends who was a teenage father. What was his name?

Though nowhere near as fanatic as FOX, the WB, now CW, has had its share of conservative programming, 7th Heaven being one of its most known with an eleven-season run. This show introduced the world to The Camden Family, America’s all-American family in the ’90s that exhibited devout Christian morals. The family consisted of Eric, the dad and beloved town minister; Annie, the stay-at-home mom; their oldest son, Matt, a popular guy with all he crossed; the often rebellious and athletic Mary, the black sheep of the family (which in itself was an exaggeration); Lucy, the teen angst-filled middle Child; Simon, the money-savvy, smart-mouthed son; and Ruthie, the youngest and ‘cutest’ daughter who’d be replaced in four by twins Sam and David. From the many feelings of pride and headaches these kids gave their parents, the one who stood out in her misbehaving was Mary. From her many dates, school hazing, drunk driving, and debt collecting, this character was a hot mess, more often than not. Though she eventually straightened up her act, she was a topic of concern in the show’s beginnings. From her long list of exes, one stood out in character for being a single teenage dad, introducing an important topic for the American viewer: teenage pregnancy. This character managed to win his way into the Camdens’ hearts and remained a steady boyfriend of Mary’s for a few seasons, often coming back in later seasons. What was his name?

Question 13

He was Xena and Gabrielle’s loyal best friend to the end. What was his name?

Conservatism and religiously centered shows aside, The WB/CW also aired very risqué, provocative, sexually charged and oftentimes violent shows in the ’90s. Focusing on The Greek Mythology sub-genre, there were Hercules and Xena. In its representation of Greek Mythology and with a titular character that embodies the terminology, the show Hercules had nothing on the Warrior Princess. Xena was, in essence, the female take on Hercules: well built, tall, sexy and heroic without a doubt, Xena’s resilience rivaled that of the Greek Gods themselves. One thing about Xena was that she never ran solo; by her side, there was her sidekick Gabrielle and another recurring companion. This quirky character was introduced early on in season one and kept making appearances as the show’s comic relief. He comes to develop character depth and usefulness to Xena and Gabrielle in their quest and makes his grand departure from the show in a tear-jerking scene where he’s killed by Xena’s own daughter Eve/Livia. What was this character’s name?

Question 14

This was the dummy that made a dummy out of the Caped Crusader. What was his name?

Batman is one of those characters who are representative of America’s view of heroism (only coming a close-second to perhaps Captain America). He fights crime using his immense wealth for the greater good of society and is, for the most part, well-intentioned. This character has been in the limelight for almost a century now and continues to go strong. From all the movies, the comic strips, and the cheesy yet classic 1960’s show, Batman has indeed made his way into the American public’s attention, but from all the merchandising and programming this superhero icon brought about, one show stood as unique in showing a truly dark yet human side to the Cape Crusader: Batman: The Series. Noir, gritty, and as thematically charged as the Batman universe has ever gotten, this show has gone down in history as one of the ‘greatest animated series ever produced’ - and with good reason. It was a show that revolutionized the way cartoon characters were viewed, especially in its depiction of its villains. Villains were humanized to a degree, and it made viewers sympathize with them. One came into the picture during the show’s midpoint and though not an iconic villain himself, he still caused plenty of havoc for Gotham City. He was wooden, child-sized, and resembled a gangster in his look; he was a dummy (those dummies really had a way in the ’90s). Needless to note, this fabrication was operated and a byproduct of a deranged and sad madman named "Arnold Wesker." While engaging in crime, what was this character’s pseudonym?

Question 15

Let’s talk bratty baby sisters. What’s the name of Arthur’s?

Like many other kids out there, Arthur had to deal with the trials of being an older brother. While his baby sister is adorable as can be and does just fine being a peaceful baby, Arthur’s other baby sister is everything but tolerable. This four-year-old aardvark is bratty, a tattle-tale, and loves a certain show called" Mary Moo Cow." In an episode, she caused Arthur so much frustration that he flat-out punched her in the face, exemplifying the importance of anger management and what not. She was also remembered for her short brown hair, pink sleeveless dress, and love for music. What’s this character’s name?

Question 16

He was Lisa’s ill-fated mentor in the early seasons of The Simpsons. What was his name?

Along the lines of adult-themed animated programming, one show has withstood the test of time for nearly three decades now: The Simpsons. Though its pilot premiered nearing the end of 1989, the show took its flight throughout all of the ’90s (and it only became increasingly popular with each passing year). This show has been toned down over the years to appeal to broader audiences, as it was far from kid-friendly in its first few seasons. In the fictional world of Springfield live The Simpsons, and their community consists of mostly Christian families and their day-to-day activities that are the bud of the show’s humor. Some characters are crude, some characters are devout, and others fall right down the middle, but one thing remains true to all of them - they make audiences forget about their daily troubles for at least thirty minutes out of their day. One character stood out in earlier seasons as a musical mentor to Lisa Simpson in their shared love for the Saxophone and jazz. Sadly, this character’s presence was short-lived when he died during one of his recurring appearances. What was his name?

Question 17

He was that one kid in the ’90s who made us want to study. What was his name?

Though not a spin-off of Sister, Sister, there was one show featuring Tia and Tamera’s younger brother, Tahj Mowry, that some could argue was inspired after the popularity his twin sisters garnered from their own show. Tahj made his debut in Full House (coincidentally just like his sisters) as a classmate of Michelle’s and became a recurring character in this show’s later seasons. For his hard work and innate acting abilities came compensation when he landed the titular role in Smart Guy. Just like the name states, Tahj portrayed a child prodigy whose high IQ and academic performance allow him to bypass most of elementary school and all of middle school and places him in the same high school of his older siblings (much to his brother Marcus’s dismay at first). He soon became admired by some of his classmates and the target of bullying by others and ultimately becomes a coveted study partner for what seemed like the entire student body. This brainiac held his own show for the latter half of the ’90s, and his name would resonate with those of his equally popular sisters, Tia and Tamera. What was this character’s name in the show?

Question 18

She was Wolverine’s sidekick/foster daughter in the ’90s. What was her name?

The ’90s also paved the way for other animated incarnations of the comic-book universe apart from Batman. In the list of these shows is X-Men: The Animated Series. This show brought to the small screen almost all of the characters that are loved and followed in Stan Lee’s original works. Led by Professor X, the heroes of the show consisted of Wolverine, Jean Grey/ Phoenix, Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Rogue, Gambit, and a few other recurring characters joining the X-Men in their fight against Magneto, his outcasted mutant followers, and ill-intentioned humans. One character introduced to the show became a well-received addition to the series, despite being one of the newest characters in the X-Men Universe. She was the youngest of the X-Men, wore a pink-bandana and a yellow trench coat, and had a strong apprentice-mentor bond with Wolverine, which surfaces throughout the entire series, making her an adoptive daughter of sorts. Once she becomes honed in the use of her mutant abilities (creating firework-like explosions), she proves her worth to the X-Men in their fight to protect themselves and mankind. What was this character’s name?

Question 19

She played Judge Trudy. What was her character’s name on All That and her own show?

When it came to showcasing talented youths, the ’90s accomplished this extensively in the likes of little Ruthie Camden, the aforementioned Tia and Tamera, Full House’s DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle Tanner, and all the other child actors that went on to launch their own careers through small-screen characters. In 1994, one show launched on Nickelodeon did just this for the youths it introduced to the public. Much like The Mickey Mouse Club, Nickelodeon’s All That presented a lineup of little comedians/actors ready to infiltrate the entertainment industry. One particularly stood out in her adorableness, acting skills, and ability to excel in skits, landing her a show of her own in the late ’90s titled after her first name. This was only the beginning, as she went on to star in relatively popular flicks like “What A Girl Wants” and “She’s The Man.” She had it all: looks, talent, and a comedic flare. Unfortunately, personal issues got the best of her, and she had to take a hiatus from the entertainment industry. What was her character’s name on All That, and consequently, her own show?

Question 20

He inspired an immortal meme. What was his name?

The Simpsons wasn’t the only animated show on FOX to be in the spotlight in the ’90s. Mid-1990, a galactic space adventure surfaced. It was like a combination of Star Wars, Star Trek, and Firefly (though the latter show wouldn’t release on FOX until 2001). Futurama proved to be a commercial success for FOX right off the bat with its distinct characters, notably its titular character. This orange-haired character was a younger take on “Homer Simpson.” He was endearing in all his faulty traits, from his undying crush on Leela (the captain of the ship he and their crew soared through space in) to his loyalty to his friends to his utter stupidity, which often times got the crew into more trouble than he was worth. What was his name?

Question 21

He was Scully and Mulder’s Boss. What was his name?

Aliens were a recurring theme in the ’90s. TV programming banked on audiences’ thirst to explore potential extra-terrestrial activity, even if it was just from their TV sets. One show ranked on top from the very beginning of the ’90s and continued strongly into the early ’90s: The X-Files. This show featured two FBI agents, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who had encounters of ‘the third kind’ during their assignments. Their dynamic was interesting - Mulder was an absolute believer in extraterrestrial life, and he believed in a government conspiracy in hiding it, while Scully was by the book and religious and would only believe in the possibility of the paranormal if scientific facts supported it. Somehow, these two managed to work together for the show’s ten-season run! Of course, for every competent pair of FBI agents, there’s the top man who assigns their projects, and Mulder and Scully weren’t an exception to the rule. Their boss was very matter-of-fact and stern and would oftentimes make the viewer think he might have ulterior motives in his treatment of the two agents. Nevertheless, he ended up becoming a loyal ally to Mulder and Scully as the show reached its finale. What was this character’s name?

Question 22

She’s the rich girl on Arthur. What’s her name?

On a more kid-friendly note, who can forget ’90s programming on PBS - Barney, The Purple Dinosaur, Teletubbies, DragonTales, Reading Rainbow, the list goes on. One show, Arthur, proved incredibly popular and memorable to kid viewers, so much so that it continues airing to date. Arthur follows its titular character of the same name through his daily adventures. Set in the fictional town of Elmwood, Arthur has a crew of friends he goes on all sorts of adventures with, all usually ending the episode with a moral for the youngsters watching it. Of all his friends, one stands out in her affluent upbringing, snotty personality, and contrastingly, her friendship with the most impoverished of Arthur’s friends, “Francine.” All in all, this character has a heart of gold, but sometimes, she also makes all those around her want to say their final goodbyes due to her annoying behavior. She wears a purple dress and red pigtails, and one of her favorite catchphrases is “daddy!” What’s her name?

Question 23

She’s Arnold’s number one admirer. What’s her name?

Hey Arnold! presented viewers one aspect of being a kid: unrequited crushes. For Arnold, it was Delilah, a recurring character who was sweet and friendly but just never quite “liked, liked” Arnold as he had hoped. But one other subplot took precedent throughout the series’s entire run, and it was from a character whose crush was described as full-on love bordering on obsession for Arnold. From her love-professing monologues to her constant daydreaming about him, to a shrine of Arnold in her bedroom closet, this character lived for the day her unrequited love would be reciprocated. Ironically, she hid it very well by saying and doing the meanest of things to Arnold. She wore a pink dress, had yellow pigtails, and is best remembered for her signature unibrow. What’s her name?

Question 24

He was Rachel’s enemy who started the “Tootsie Pop” rumor. What was his name?

You can’t say ’90s kid and not think of Friends. Friends took off as the ’90s hit the midpoint, and its success became mind-boggling. One character, Rachel Green, was a fashionista who had a long list of complicated and eccentric romantic relationships, including a signature romance to one of the six friends, Ross Gellar. She also had other crushes and frenemies who would resurface every other season or so. The most memorable came when her real-life husband at the time, Brad Pitt, made a cameo as a jaded ex-classmate from high school turned hottie over the course of the years. So impressive was this character’s physical transformation that Rachel had no clue who he was while they shared Thanksgiving dinner - but he remembered Rachel. In fact, he had a burning hatred that made for this episode’s absolute hilarity. What was his name?

Question 25

He was Cory’s mentor/teacher/principal/next-door neighbor. What was his name?

The ’80s had The Wonder Years, and the ’90s had Boy Meets World, which coincidentally featured Fred Savage’s younger brother, Ben Savage. Ben Savage portrayed an innocent, precocious, and sometimes troublemaking youngster named "Cory Matthews." Cory had a loving family, a best friend named "Sean," an ongoing love interest named "Topanga," and notably, a next-door neighbor who served as his teacher (later principal) throughout the entire series. This character was, in a sense, the moral compass of this show and helped mold Cory throughout his coming of age. In his witty remarks and uttering of the term “slacker,” he became an unforgettable part of the series until its very last episode. What was his name?

Question 26

On Recess, she was the tough girl who had her moments. What was her name?

The ’90s are nostalgic in the memory of “Saturday Morning Cartoons.” Kids would get up at the crack of dawn just to see the lineup of what was on The WB, ABC, or The Fox Network. There was one show that gained popularity in its time-of-the-day conceptualization: Recess. Recess followed the adventures and misadventures of a group of fourth-graders during their favorite school period, recess. The show’s titular character was TJ, a kid who had a whole crew of friends who followed his lead both in deeds and misdeeds (often getting them in trouble in the process). Of his crew, one stood out in her spunk and toughness. What name did this character go by?

Question 27

Homer’s not-so-dead mother. What was her name?

The Simpsons Universe has had many characters step in and out throughout the years. However, one character stood out in her importance to Homer’s life; she was his long-lost mother who came back from the dead - not really, though, as it turned out she was actually an outlaw pursued by authorities after a protest gone awry against Mr.Burns. Making two onscreen appearances, this character remains in the hearts of all viewers as she truly brought about tears in her final goodbye from Homer’s life. What was her name?

Question 28

He was Cory and Sean’s teacher who rode a motorcycle. What was his name?

Boy Meets World introduces viewers to all sorts of relatable characters. There was one that Cory and his best friend Sean came to have a complex relationship with. They, at first, loved him but soon after found him overbearing. This character was introduced in season two as the kids’ new English teacher after their middle school instructor was promoted to principal. This character has a way with words, rides a motorcycle (which is what initially makes the kids find him so cool), and truly cares about his craft and students - so much so that he fosters Sean later on in the series. What was this character’s name?

Question 29

She was the loved/hated nosy character on Married With Children. What was this character’s name?

Featuring a less wholesome take on family values and growing up is Married With Children. Like The Simpsons, it took its flight into the homes of American viewers in the late ’80s, but its popularity remained immense in the early/mid-/and later ’90s (it ran for eleven seasons!). Married With Children followed show salesman Al Bundy, his ditzy wife Peggy, their popular daughter Kelly, and the youngest child Bud, who was extremely intelligent and the family’s only real hope of someday rising above their set economic standing. The Bundy family also had a next-door neighbor who remained a series regular throughout the show’s eleven seasons, having two husbands throughout it. She was an intrusive goody-goody, and viewers developed a love-hate sentiment toward her. What was this character’s name?

Question 30

Salt and Pepper’s kid? Yeah, their kid. What was this character’s name?

Along with Rugrats, Hey Arnold, and Ren and Stimpy, Nickelodeon also had a whole lineup of toddlers’ programming in the ’90s. Blues Clues actually paved the way for later shows like Dora The Explorer, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Paw Control. It featured a blue puppy who quickly became a household favorite amongst toddlers. From merchandise to interactive games to plushies, that adorable blue puppy found its way into the houses of Americans with toddlers. In the show, Blue had all sorts of friends. One duo, Salt and Pepper, is remembered particularly for having an offspring despite being tabletop condiments. Unheard of! What did Salt and Pepper name this character?

Question 31

This sad villain never made it into a feature-length Batman movie. What was this character’s name on the animated series?

During its four-season run, Batman: The Animated Series dealt the caped crusader with more villains than he had fingers on both hands to count. Some of them were The Joker, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, The Penguin - Batman always had a lot under his bat-belt, even when Robin was fighting crime by his side. There was one villain that had a very tragic backstory (like so many others in the Batman Universe). This character started off as an actor whose life was completely altered when he was involved in a car accident. Disfigured for life, a crime lord named "Daggett" offered him a serum to restore his looks in exchange for a life of crime. This all ended terribly for the character when he ended up having this serum poured all over his face as punishment for attempting to steal from Dagget. He ended up with a brown and monstrous misshapen figure and was struck down by Batman when he went on a rampage in Gotham. What was his name?

Question 32

She was Tai’s younger sister. What was her name?

This one character didn’t make an appearance until midway through season one of Digimon: Digital Monsters. She was the younger sister to the show’s lead, Tai, and, at times, was more key to the plot than her older brother. She aided in defeating Maiodesmon, traveled with the DigiDestined immediately after to defeat the remaining dark lord, and continued fighting in the digital world while the original DigiDestined grew older and became preoccupied with the qualms of being teenagers. She was assigned the “crest of light” in season one and brings this emotion out of every character in the series.

Question 33

He was the son of a character Danny dated in season four. What was his name?

This character was the son of one of Danny’s many dates throughout Full House’s eight-season run. He, along with his TV mother, soon becomes a recurring character in season four. He had an angelic appearance but was actually a troublemaker with a knack for causing chaos in the Tanner household. He got under everyone’s skin, was a walking headache, and made life miserable for all those living in The Tanner household at one point or another during his onscreen presence. Though he and his mother didn’t make it past season four, his character was one that made that season much funnier. What was this menacing youngster’s name?

Question 34

It was Ashley Olsen’s name on that TV show that wasn’t Full House. What was it?

Again, on the topic of twins, there are the Olsen twins, America’s most famous and wealthy, TV twins. They’ve been at it literally since their diaper-wearing years, and though not really on the radar anymore, their names live on in the minds of millions worldwide. After the finale to Full House, the Olsens continued working in a considerable number of ‘for-TV movies’ (producing a good number of them with their own budgets… all before the age of ten!). By their teenage years, they were “Producing Executives” in their own right and came to star in the TV show Two of a Kind. Mary-Kate’s character was also named “Mary Kate” on this show. What name was Ashley’s character given?

Question 35

This was BeetleBorgs’s version of a genie. What was this character’s name?

Aliens aside, FOX also focused on ghouls and other monster-like characterizations in programming. In 1996, Beetleborgs released on FOX, and it introduced viewers to a host of characters out of the realm of Halloween. The show followed three kids who, while trespassing into an abandoned haunted house, release a phantasmic character from a pipe organ. Having been trapped in it for ages, this character grants the kids one wish in gratitude, which to them is becoming their favorite comic-book superheroes. This brings about a whole series of adventures and troubles, as with their new superpowers, the kids also had to deal with their characters' corresponding villains. What was the name of the phantasmic character who granted them their powers?
