The 90s nostalgia is not going away anytime soon, so let's immerse ourselves in that unique atmosphere.
Pop culture hits often capture the atmosphere of the time when they were produced, and sitcoms are probably the best at this task. The settings, stories, and characters in comedy shows bring you back to the past, making you laugh and feel nostalgic about the era gone by.
Here is a list of seven sitcoms with the perfect 1990s vibe.
7. Wings (1990, 8 seasons)
The plot revolves around two brothers, who own a small airline consisting of a single Cessna, and their friends who work at the same airport. The show encapsulated the ideals many young people shared in the 90s — living a cozy, middle-class life away from big cities.
6. Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996, 7 seasons)
While Netflix's Sabrina has generated a lot of controversy, everyone agrees that the original teen series was one of the best. It perfectly captured the lighthearted humor of the 90s, and Salem the talking cat is just one of the reasons to watch (and re-watch) the show!
5. Saved by the Bell (1989, 4 seasons)
Many people still remember this series, even though it aired in the first half of the 90s. The teen sitcom was both funny and educational, tackling important social, political, and environmental issues of the time in a surprisingly light and humorous manner.
4. Seinfeld (1989, 9 seasons)
Following the lives of a stand-up comedian and his friends, the series offered a fresh take on the genre, playing on sitcom tropes and personal experiences of comedians. Though it premiered in the 80s, the show ran for nine seasons and finished in 1998.
3. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990, 6 seasons)
This show is incredibly humorous and conveys the experience of a working-class street teenager who is sent to live with his relatives, a privileged family of color, in Bel-Air. The leading role in the series was a breakthrough for young Will Smith.
2. Absolutely Fabulous (1992, 5 seasons)
Ab Fab features two wealthy, middle-aged women nostalgic for their Mod days in 1960s London. They drink gallons of alcohol, use all kinds of recreational drugs, and simply show themselves to be wealthy women who don't care about the opinions of others. Real queens of the small screen!
1. Daria (1997, 5 seasons)
The late 90s are characterized by grunge, alternative rock, high boots, and edgy cynicism inspired by books by Franz Kafka and Joseph Conrad. Daria captures this spirit perfectly, delivering sharp and sometimes dark humor.
