About This Quiz
"I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too..." If you were always there, watching sitcoms during the '90s, this is just the quiz for you!
The '90s was a decade alive with these situational comedies. With some of the most successful that TV has ever seen, there was Friends, Seinfeld, Martin, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Full House, and so many more. These TV shows had the power to ingrain characters in your mind. From annoying neighbors like Steve Urkel to attractive studs like Uncle Jesse, these characters and shows have stayed with you forever.
How could you forget the iconic picture frame hanging on Monica's door? You can probably imagine yourself watching more sitcoms as you sit on the couch in the Banks' spacious living room. Although current sitcoms have flourished to different channels, during the '90s, you were tuning into ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. Broadcasting stations have traded in these '90s classics for the sitcoms of today like Mom, Black-ish, Modern Family, and the updated Fuller House. You can still catch Uncle Jesse on the screen, but he'll have a few more grays!
1990s sitcoms were iconic and are heavily remembered for their characters and scenes, but can you remember them? TGIF wasn't just a restaurant. It was a lifestyle every Friday night with your favorite TV lineup! Let's see if you can sit back and remember these popular sitcoms of yesterday! TV on!
