Okay so recently I've discovered that I don't really like new television particularly !!! Apart from the Big Bang Theory and Glee all the TV shows I watch started in the 90s !!!! :O Maybe its cause I'm a child of the 90s who had two older sisters who watched EVERYTHING GOOD but in my opinion the TV back then was soooooo much better !!!! :P
Usually I can't really watch old TV or movies or listen to old music but for some reason 90s TV is an exception. If I watched movies from the same period or listened to that times music I would more than likely be kinda bored but their TV was so frickin good !!!!!!!! >_< So here is a count down of the best TV shows that started in the 90s :

1.
Will and Grace: Okay so Will and Grace...... Will and Grace .......... Where do I start ???? Will and Grace ran for 8 seasons between 1998 and 2006 and is the best gay based sitcom EVER !!!! I was four when Will and Grace started but thanks to my older sisters who where 14 and 16 when it started I grew up in the gay, metropolitan world of Will, Grace, Karen and Jack. The story is a simple story of Will and Grace who live together (Will is gay Grace is not :P) and their respective best friends Karen (Graces secretary) and Jack (who is camper then David Bowie riding a unicorn !!!). Many would disagree with me but I think this has to be the best of the 90s sitcoms !!!!!!!! :)

2.
Friends: The most epic and perhaps best know of the 90s sitcoms, this show is a legend not just in the world of TV but in all of culture. Over the 10 seasons between 1994 (the year I was born !!!! :O) and 2004 we witnessed 6 people grow, mature and live in such a way that was revolutionary. This show is stuck in so many heads to the point that last year when its reruns were cancelled by E4 I genuinely thought we were all going to cry (thank god for Comedy Central !!!!! :P). On the list this is the only show I can actually remember watching live. I remember crying watching the last episode in 2004 and the hype that surrounded it (every 5 seconds RTE reminded you to watch it for weeks before). I think this show perhaps became so huge because it showed us all what we really wanted. A world were you are accepted for you !!!!

3.
Charmed: Charmed for those of you who do not know was a supernatural drama which ran from 1998 to 2006 (the same as Will and Grace !!!!) and was about 3 sisters (one of who was replaced in the first episode of season 4 with a new previously unknown half sister) and their lives as the charmed ones, super powerful witches who's mission in life was to protect the worlds mortals from demonic powers. Any Big Bang Theory fans will be very interested to know that
Kaley Cuoco starred in the 8th season as Billie a witch in need of help to find her lost sister. I personally love the series because of the powerful women it portrays with Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige kicking ass and saving the world while they bring up children, run a night club and write for a news paper among many other things.
4.Sex and the City: Okay so this may be about 90s shows, which this is starting in 1998, but I actually only fell in love with this recently. Due to the ...... em ....... adult nature of this show I never actually watched it when it was on TV (it aired from the time I was 4 to the time I was 10) but started watching this year after buying the first movie. While Samantha, Charlotte, Carrie and Miranda are all complete opposites there friendships are some of the strongest in TV history !!!! Like most good TV shows Sex and the City's appeal comes mainly from its characters, these girls are so real you cant help but love them. They have sex, talk about sex, cheat on their boyfriends and even go through menopause all while being lovable and kind. They are the perfect TV storm.
So what have we learnt from all this ??? Well ...... nothing really accept that I have faaaar too much time on my hands but please go out and watch these shows !!!!!! They are orgasmicly amazing :D
