Pick Or Pass On These 90's TV Shows And We'll Reveal Which To Binge Next

While some experts claim that we're currently living in the golden age of television, we're pretty sure that TV peaked back in the 90's. Sure, there are way more options and channels available now than ever before, but quality is sometimes better than quantity... and there were so many absolutely amazing shows to watch back then!

Pretty much everything we know about life and love, we learned from FRIENDS and Dawson's Creek. Mr. Feeny taught us more on Boy Meets World than any of our real-life teachers did in school. The Spider-Man, X-Men and Batman animated series were way better than any of the live-action films Marvel and DC have released in the past decade. And to this day, we've probably never laughed as much as we used to watching comedies like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Keenan & Kel! Streaming platforms and DVD box sets luckily allow us to walk down memory lane and nostalgically re-watch some of our old favorites, but deciding which show to check out first is almost impossible since there are so many great ones to choose from. Pick or pass on these 90's classics and we'll reveal which one to binge-watch next!

Question 1

All That

All That was basically Nickelodeon's kid-friendly version of Saturday Night Live, and we absolutely loved it! The series featured original short comedic sketches that parodied contemporary culture, as well as weekly musical guests. Some people may say that Kenan Thompson's career peaked when he joined the cast of SNL, but we'll also know him as Pierre Escargot, our raincoat-wearing, bathtub-loving French tutor!

Question 2

Boy Meets World

"Believe in yourselves. Dream. Try. Do good." The words of Mr. Feeny will always stick with us, as will the countless lessons we learned watching Cory Matthews mature from a rebellious teenager to a responsible and loving husband. Thanks to Boy Meets World, we'll always strive to build a friendship as strong as Cory's and Shawn's and a relationship like the one shared between Cory and Topanga.

Question 3

Hey Arnold!

Alright, it was definitely weird that Arnold had a head the shape of a football, but once we got over that, we became absolutely obsessed with this hit Nickelodeon show. It was a blast watching Helga deal with being both Arnold's primary antagonist and his secret admirer, and for five seasons we waited for her to confess her feelings (which FINALLY happened in the Hey Arnold! movie).

Question 4

FRIENDS

The only thing we loved more than singing along to the FRIENDS theme song was watching Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe navigate life and a variety of relationship struggles in New York City for ten wonderful seasons. We'll never forget the lyrics to Smelly Cat, and over a decade later, we still argue with friends over whether or not Ross and Rachel were really "on a break."

Question 5

Keenan & Kel

Aww, here it goes! Keenan & Kel was one of our favorite sitcoms in the late 90's, and it helped land Keenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Kid Stars. This dynamic duo always got into all sorts of trouble together, and the show was filled with memorable recurring gags and jokes, like Kel's obsession with orange soda and Keenan scream of "WHY?!" every time his BFF did something ridiculous.

Question 6

Arthur

The shows featured on PBS didn't exactly provide as many laughs as the ones on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, but kids who grew up without cable learned to make due with what they had access to. We'd be lying if we said we didn't learn a lot from the adventures of Arthur the aardvark and his animal friends!

Question 7

Batman the Animated Series

We've lost faith in DC these days because of their numerous failed live-action films, but back in the 90's, they gave us one of the best cartoons of all time—Batman the Animated Series! This show was universally loved by comic book fans for its flawless portrayal of Gotham, the Dark Knight and his rogue's gallery of villains.

Question 8

Darkwing Duck

Long before they bought Marvel, Disney experimented with superheroes on their own and created Darkwing Duck! By day, he was mild-mannered father Drake Mallard, but by night, he was the crime-fighting, masked protector of St. Canard. The series lasted for 91 wonderful episodes, and more than 20 years after its conclusion, Disney turned it into a comic book!

Question 9

Dawson's Creek

Teen-themed movies and television shows became incredibly popular in the late 90's. Dawson's Creek was definitely one of our favorites, and it catapulted several of its leads to stardom. The series covered some seriously mature topics and thus earned its fair share of criticism from parents, but it also set the bar for teen dramas and helped inspire several of the shows we love today.

Question 10

Dexter's Laboratory

This beloved Cartoon Network series followed Dexter, a boy-genius and inventor who had a secret laboratory in the basement of his house. Dexter constantly battled with his annoying sister Dee Dee to try to keep her out of his lab, and he frequently faced off against his neighbor and fellow genius Mandark.

Question 11

Spider-Man

We've loved the various live-action portrayals of Spider-Man we've seen on the big screen over the past two decades, but our obsession with the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler started way back in 1994. The Fox Kids Spider-Man animated series was absolutely amazing—it contained a number of fan-favorite Spidey stories and characters, the voice acting was perfect, and the animation was fantastic for its time.

Question 12

Family Matters

When Family Matters first premiered, it revolved around the Winslow family, a middle-class African American family living in Chicago, Illinois. Once nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel was introduced however, everything changed. The fan-favorite character soon became the star of the show, and his catchphrase "did I do that?" was known and frequently repeated by viewers and non-viewers alike across the world!

Question 13

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Everything you need to know about The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, you can learn from its theme song, which nearly everyone from the 90's can still recite! It centered on Will, a street-smart teen from West Philadelphia who was sent to live with his wealthy aunt and uncle (and annoying cousin Carlton) in their Bel-Air mansion after getting into a fight in his hometown.

Question 14

Recess

Everyone who watched Recess wanted to be friends with T.J. Detweiler. During recess, the kids at Third Street Elementary School formed their own bizarre yet oddly mature society, complete with a government and a class structure. T.J. and his friends weren't exactly the "cool kids," but we totally related to their clique and wanted more than anything to be a part of it!

Question 15

That 70's Show

That 70's Show didn't come out until 1998, but it was so instantly popular, it's impossible to talk about 90's television without bringing this series up! It didn't shy away from being controversial, as the group of high school best friends smoked in Eric Foreman's basement every day and talked about a variety of mature topics our parents definitely didn't want us hearing about.

Question 16

Goosebumps

Even though this series started out with the warning "viewers beware, you're in for a scare," we were never really ready for how utterly horrifying Goosebumps was for being a supposed kids' show! Each episode was just as scary as the R.L. Stine books they were based on, and The Haunted Mask and Stay Out Of The Basement still give us nightmares.

Question 17

Legends of the Hidden Temple

In this iconic 90's action-adventure game show, players aged 11 to 14 were split into six teams and had to make it through a temple that was "filled with lost treasures protected by mysterious Mayan temple guards" by performing a variety of physical stunts and answering questions based on history, mythology, and geography.

Question 18

The Magic School Bus

No offense to our science teachers in the 90's, but pretty much everything we still remember about that subject came from either Bill Nye or episodes of The Magic School Bus. This popular, incredibly educational show centered on the antics of Ms. Frizzle and her class as they traveled to unusual locations such as the solar system, clouds, the past and inside the human body on a magic school bus.

Question 19

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

We already loved Melissa Joan Hart from Nickelodeon's Clarissa Explains It All, so when ABC put her in the leading role in this supernatural comedy sitcom, we were instantly hooked. Sabrina the Teenage Witch followed Sabrina Spellman as she struggled to figure out her powers while also dealing with a variety of typical high school issues and a slightly diabolical talking cat!

Question 20

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

Most people who grew up in the 90's are still absolutely obsessed with superheroes, and it's possible that this fixation started with the Power Rangers! This series followed five "teenagers with attitude" as they fought to defend the Earth from Rita Repulsa and her army of monsters. Over twenty-five years after its release, the Power Rangers are still going strong—new seasons come out every year, and BOOM! Studios has released a comic book version of the Mighty Morphin' series.

Question 21

Double Dare

When it was first released at the end of the 80's, Double Dare helped establish Nickelodeon as a major player in cable television and helped revitalize the genre of game shows for kids. Two teams competed to win cash and prizes by answering trivia questions and completing messy physical challenges. The show was so popular, Nickelodeon brought it back on June 25, 2018, 25 years after it was first taken off the air!

Question 22

Pinky and the Brain

We always laughed when Pinky asked the Brain what their plans for the evening were going to be, because the answer was the same every time—"try to take over the world!" In every episode, this hilarious duo tried to follow Brain's plan for global domination, but they always failed because Pinky was far too absent-minded and Brain's schemes were practically impossible for two genetically-enhanced mice to pull off.

Question 23

The Powerpuff Girls

Who says little kids can't be superheroes? This enormously popular show centered on Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, three kindergarten-aged girls with superpowers who were frequently called upon by the mayor of Townsville to help fight crime. The Powerpuff Girls was nominated for six Emmy Awards, nine Annie Awards and a Kids' Choice Award during its run, and it went on to inspire an anime, a home video collection, comic books, a series of video games and a 2016 reboot.

Question 24

Rugrats

Tommy Pickles was a born leader and adventurer, and he taught us all how much fun life can be when we let our imaginations guide us. He was only a baby in Rugrats, but we always hoped to become more like him when we grew up. Unfortunately, we're probably more of a mixture of Chuckie and Angelica now.

Question 25

Young Hercules

Step aside, people who started crushing on Ryan Gosling after his portrayal of Noah in The Notebook—we've loved Ryan since 1998, when he starred in Young Hercules! A year after the released of Disney's animated film about the infamous Roman god, Fox Kids released this classic show about Hercules' younger years.

Question 26

Saved By The Bell

Zack Morris' adventures with his friends were absolutely hilarious, but Saved By The Bell was far more than a mere comedy—it also covered some serious social issues such as substance use, driving under the influence, homelessness, remarriage, women's rights and environmental issues. We'll never stop loving this show, but don't even get us started on how awful Saved by the Bell: The New Class was!

Question 27

The Simpsons

The Simpsons is known and loved for parodying American culture and society, television, and the human condition. Viewers were initially hesitant to embrace an adult-oriented animated series, but it quickly rose in popularity and went on to inspire a variety of similar shows like Family Guy and King of the Hill. An incredible 639 episodes of The Simpsons have been broadcast, making it the longest-running American sitcom.

Question 28

Sister, Sister

Thanks to Sister, Sister, all 90's kids have fantasized about how cool it'd be to discover a long-lost twin. In this popular sitcom, twins Tia and Tamara were separated and adopted at birth. When they accidentally found each other fourteen years later, they convinced their single adopted parents to move in under the same roof together. A revival of Sister, Sister was confirmed earlier this year and is currently in the works!

Question 29

Tiny Toon Adventures

Our love for the Looney Tunes definitely peaked after the release of Michael Jordan's 1996 film Space Jam, but 90's kids first fell in love with Bugs, Daffy and the rest of their crew in Tiny Toon Adventures! In this hilarious series, the classic Looney Tunes acted as teachers and mentors to Buster, Babs, Dizzy and a bunch of other adorable young cartoon characters at Acme Looniversity,

Question 30

X-Men

A month after DC released Batman the Animated Series, Marvel followed suit and released X-Men, a cartoon which followed Professor Charles Xavier's team of gifted mutant students. The series was incredibly popular and helped launch numerous other comic book shows. Most importantly, it paved the way for the 2000 X-Men feature film, which eventually inspired Marvel to create the cinematic Avengers universe we love so much today!
