Ha. Yes, but if I only had to pick two...

When was Daria?

'97-'02

Yeah, I was never that big on The State but I love You Wrote It, You Watch It (xpost)

i feel like every single time "Stairway To Heaven" comes on the radio i quote something from the episode they did about it

MTV needs to cut the shit and put that out on DVD

It's not like anyone who was on that show became incredibly famous

well, considering how long it took The State to get out on DVD and how much more popular/well known that was, i'm not holding my breath

Woah. I completely forgot that existed until just now.

The Adventures of Pete & Pete! can't believe I hadn't mentioned that yet!

ENBB knows what's up

powerpuff girls!

if only for this guy

fuck, i forgot news radio too. i kinda just wanna say "phil hartman's career inclusive."

also whoever was dissing batman: tas up there needs to give me one superman or j.l. episode as good as that clayface two-parter.

Or the Two-Face two-parter! Or "Almost Got 'Im", that was genius.

Millennium - despite some very screwy continuity between each season it had some truly great moments. Better than the X-Files at its best.

man i just wanna spend the rest of the afternoon watching batman episodes on youtube

also whoever was dissing batman: tas up there

Not dissing! Just stating that, since it seems to be held as a high-water mark of its particular niche, it hasn't aged quite as well for me as some of the latter DCU animated series. Which I'm admittedly basing more on some of the earlier episodes. It's still good stuff that I'm quite fond of.

X-Files seasons 1-4, especially any episode written by Darin Morgan, and particularly "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" which is one of the best episodes of anything ever.

"Jose Chung" could very well be the single best thing on TV in the 90s.

Xena: Warrior Princess. Lock thread.

Squirt TV

Australia, represent:

Fast Forward
The Late Show
DAAS Kapital
Funky Squad
GP (pretty fogey but mostly great)
Seachange

I'm sure there are more but I can't remember!

I will admit to watching Heartbreak High, Flying Doctors, Country Practice, Neighbors, Home & Away & Blue Heelers, but reluctant to file under 'great'.

(Except for when wossisname the cute pilot from Flying Doctors died and they played that Dynamic Hepnotics song at his funeral. that was grebt.)

is DAAS Kapital the Doug Anthony Allstars thing?

Yep!

I used to love them. If that ever made it over here (UK), I never saw it. I remember seeing some TV special they had over here and it was shite, and regretting ever telling anyone that they were the greatest thing ever (based on a couple of Edinburgh Festival shows). I sort of missed watching TV in the early/mid-90s due to being a lol arts student and spending my entire life asleep or in the pub.

No love for Sesame Street? It ran almost every day in the 90s.

Has Rugrats been mentioned? That was a staple in college...

yeah all those classic kids shows - rugrats, all that, doug, hey arnold, kenan and kel etc

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS

xpost: otm Picket Fences

DARIA!

lotsa good picks. few things i don't see listed yet but would add:

night stand with dick dietrich
eek! the cat
space ghost coast to coast
pop up video

Dawson's Creek

Due South

American Gothic

Twin Peaks.

Our Friends in the North
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
Vic Reeve's Big Night Out
People Like Us
Harry Enfield's Television Programme
How Do You Want Me?
The Day Today
Knowing Me Knowing You
Jonathan Creek
The Nazis: A Warning from History
The Royle Family
Time Team
Brookside

So, am I the only one who really dug Northern Exposure? It's still probably my favourite TV series ever, though maybe that's because I was at the exact age where a quirky and intelligent and gently optimistic and occasionally surreal series like NE felt like the best thing ever. NE was quite popular in Finland for almost all of its run, but maybe it wasn't that big in other countries?

Eerie, Indiana YESS
Currently re-watching My So-Called Life. To me it's the total embodiment of the 90s.

This Life
I'm Alan Partridge
People Like Us
I guess I watched & liked the Fast Show at the time, but couldn't watch it now.
Jonathan Creek was genius.

eek! the cat
space ghost coast to coast

good call there andrew m.

the cartoon Tick was classic too.

Not enough love for South Park. Really annoys me how no TV station over here shows it anymore.

I liked Northern Exposure a lot, Tuomas, you just mentioned it so early in the thread that I never felt the need to bring it up.

Man, Dr. Katz! Another good one.
