big cosign on Get A Life, no cosign on the bizarre hostility

this is the theme to garry's show the opening theme to garry's show garry called me up and asked if i would write his theme song this song is halfway finished how do you like it so far how do you like the theme to garry's show?

Shandling's Show was great, never got around to seeing Larry Sanders

Original run September 10, 1986 – May 25, 1990

^^ guess IGSS isn't really a good fit for this thread though, eh

TRL

^^totally.

Plus The X-Files and most things on this thread: One of the best things about Youtube is listening to the intro tunes of old cartoons.

uh at least the things on that thread that was from the 90s.

Blossom

and

Roseanne started 80s, but was a 90s show for me, so that.

ok if you're throwing down Blossom and Mr. Bean, fuck it, i'm letting loose and repping for Boy Meets World son

oh god yes

Queer As Folk ftw

Kells i have to say i really appreciate you being with me on this Boy Meets World thing

The Nanny

is it generally seen as a mediocre show? i honestly have no idea - i loved it though. xp

well, i think it's pretty well-regarded by people that watched it, but you could say that about just about any show. it sure didn't win any Emmys or critics awards, though.

Tenacious D

frazier, right?

(again lifting from someone on the other thread)

I read this great article on Boy Meets World the other day - I wish I could remember where.

We never had Sky when I was young so I had to go around my only-Newcastle-supporter-whos-never-been-to-Newcastle cousin's to start my hatred for Andy Gray etc. I miss rubbish cheerleaders etc. at football games.

Also Kenan & Kel deserves props.

Found it

Saved by the Bell has to count, right?

absolutely, it only got in one post-Good Morning, Miss Bliss season before 1990

thank you for posting the BMW article!

Saw a live taping of Saved By the Bell in '90. Probably in my top 15.

al why did you have to open this can of topanga-related worms.

No Newsradio yet?

Also, although Batman: TAS seemed like hot shit at the time, it's a cold turd on a paper plate compared to Superman and the Justice League joints.

Oh, hey, I've got a third and fourth for my list:

The State - I don't think anyone said it yet.

how would you guys transcribe the theme song to the state?

Hey yaw oxagow! Hey yaw oxagow! gowannanonny gowannanonneeee?

hard 2 improve on cankles list

simpsons
afv
neon gensis evangelion
secret world of alex mack
batman tas
larry sanders
arthur
oz
mr. show
the odyssey or prime suspect

Sports Night was definitely one I thought about listing

damn canks basically made me realize i'm just gonna name all nickelodeon shows if i'm gonna do this

Two of my favorites of all-time:
The Larry Sanders Show
The Kids In The Hall

and then...
Newsradio
Roseanne
Twin Peaks
The Simpsons (I prefer to imagine that it ended in the 90s)
Homicide
Beavis & Butthead
My So-Called Life
Seinfeld

I listed my 90s/00s-straddlin' shows on the 00s thread (Strangers With Candy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The Sopranos, Friends, Big Train, Smack The Pony). I don't know where to put them, so I guess they'll stay in their sad llttle limbo list.

Get A Life, The State, Supes: TAS, Justice League: TAS, and X-Files all get a consolation ribbon.

I have a very good feeling that I'd be rating some Chris Morris or Steve Coogan show very highly, but I've only just started getting into that stuff and haven't quite picked any faves yet.

(This is two best-of TV threads in a row where I've agreed very strongly with Dr. Morbius. I've gone through the looking glass...)

You didn't agree that strongly with Morbz, you admitted to liking more than 2 shows.

Just include them, so that Sopranos fans can whine again that they're show is too low.

Harry & Cosh!

I wonder if "The Staggering Stories of Ferdinand De Bargos" stands up still? I remember it seeming like a work of genius at the time, but it's been imitated too many times since then, and probably bettered in the process.

Was Jim Henson's The Storyteller nineties? That was pretty cool.

Some nominations:

120 Minutes
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
The Ben Stiller Show
Cheers
The Chris Rock Show
Dream On
Drew Carey Show
Emmanuelle in Space
Felicity
Fishing with John
Get a Life
The Jerry Springer Show
The Langoliers (TV miniseries)
Late Night with Conan O'Brien
Law and Order
Liquid Television
Married... with Children
Mr. Show
NewsRadio
Northern Exposure
Parker Lewis Can't Lose

RE the Sopranos/Buffy/F&G controversy - I don't really see that there's any fair way to do it other than to include every show nominated that had any episodes aired in 90s. But do try and base your votes on the particular show's 90s output - and remember they'll all be up against a new array of great TV, including prime Simpsons! That is all. New thread tomorrow.

Animated series (w/some repeats from above):

Aeon Flux (duh)
Liquid Television
The Maxx
MTV Oddities: The Head
Batman: The Animated Series
Superman: The Animated Series
X-Men
Spider-Man
Ren & Stimpy
Animaniacs
Tiny Toon Adventures
Dexter's Laboratory
The Powerpuff Girls
Space Ghost: Coast 2 Coast
The Tick
The Critic

Anime (other better heads can help me out, I'm sure there were other great ones):
Neon Genesis Evangelion
The Vision of Escaflowne
Cowboy Bebop

Ignoring the "great" for a sec, did anyone see anything from the two seasons Cleopatra 2525 got before being cancelled?

"An exotic dancer, cryogenically frozen in the year 2001, is accidentally thawed out in 2525 by two female warriors who are fighting against evil robots which have taken over the world."
