Current Events > It's fascinating that 90's shows are still popular and being watched

(+) Yeah! (+)

especially by zoomers. Shows like Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, etc. still get tons of views.

Let's travel back into the 90's. What were old shows on TV then? Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island. Did any young person actually enjoy those shows? Or were they just something you watched when you were sick home from school.

90's might just be the decade with the most staying power in history.

I mean, Nick at Nite shows were about as recognizable as the stuff on Nickelodeon. They even played I Love Lucy on the Stick Stickly show a couple of times.

I watched Gilligan's Island and Brady Bunch on a near daily basis.

And like mentioned above, Nick at Nite was built on 60s and 70s TV being shown in the 1990s.

I also have two "zoomers" living in my house. Friends? Yes. But neither of them have any idea what Seinfeld or Fraser are.

Nick at Nite was one of my most-watched channels growing up in the 90s

Wait, no, TV Land was the actual full channel that spun off of Nick at Nite. I don't know why I remembered the channel itself being Nick at Nite lol

Born in 85, watched Happy Days, The Brady Bunch, and Gilligan's Island during the 90s.

Big fan of Frasier, only started watching it about 5 years ago. Currently on my second pass through the series after introducing a friend to it.

I grew up in the 90s. Definitely typically enjoyed whatever was on Nick at Nite. Loved me some Gilligans Island, Threes Company, etc.

I only watch it for Red and Kitty, couldn't care less about the new kids in that show.

I loved Nick at Nite

Gilligan's Island theme is a classic and fire theme, ngl

There were all those Nick at Nite shows and even Nick in the early ass 90s had some shows like Lassie and Dennis the Menace (the old sitcom, not the cartoon show) and Mister Ed.

Even later Weinerville was playing like The Alvin Show and Mister Magoo and Gerald McBoingboing.

I dunno what people from the 80-90s would consider good old classic show. Maybe like Andy Griffith, Leave it to Beaver, The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy I guess. All in The Family was okay too.

Remember Weinerville though?

Let's not forget Late Night Black & White or all the other classic cartoons Cartoon Network would play overnight before they started up Adult Swim

Id watch Nick at Nite stuff all the time. Green Acres, Bewitched, Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Brady Bunch, and Get Smart were some of the ones Id watch when I was a kid.

I used to watch older shows when I was a kid in the 90s. Wonder years, I love Lucy, happy days, I dream of genie, bewitched, Sanford and son, all in the family

Watched a lot of Nick at Nite/TV Land growing up because my parents liked those shows they grew up with so wanted to share that with us

Same. Which is exactly what GenXers are doing with their GenZ kids with shows like Friends.

I watched a lot of older shows on Nick at Nite and TV Land.

Okay, fine, maybe it was just me who wasn't interested in anything made before the 1980's when I was a kid.

It is not surprising since so most dhows these days are garbage.
