Before the era of streaming services, TGIF and Must-See TV reigned supreme. In the 1990s, networks like ABC and NBC stocked up on comedies and realistic dramas, while relative newcomer Fox had its own arsenal of groundbreaking shows. Even cable networks like HBO and Cartoon Network started upping the ante with quality programming, marking a turning point in television history. Viewers had more options than ever to get their entertainment fix.
Stacker compiled data on all 1990s TV shows in English with over 7,500 votes on the Internet Movie Database and ranked the top 100 according to IMDb user score (as of February 2023), with ties broken by vote count.
Do you remember the cop show that introduced (partial) nudity and crude language to prime-time TV? Or the Nickelodeon show that launched the career of a future cast member of “Saturday Night Live”? How about the NBC crime drama that has had more spinoffs than there are presidents on Mount Rushmore? We include those shows and more, plus transcendent British comedies, genre-bending cartoons, and the sketch show that birthed the careers of many of the top comedians of the ’90s. Each slide features a hodgepodge of information like notable cast and crew, accolades won, the show’s legacy, and other interesting tidbits.
It is a testament to the power of ’90s TV that many of the shows on the list, while still holding up on their own, are being revived for newer generations. A long-awaited continuation of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” got a pilot order from Hulu in February 2025 and found its new vampire slayer with the casting of Ryan Kiera Armstrong in May. Hulu also revived the beloved ’90s animated sitcom “King of the Hill,” which premiered on the streamer with its 14th season in August 2025. And a “7th Heaven” reboot is reportedly in development as of May 2025, with original series star Jessica Biel set to serve as executive producer.
In other words, if you’re missing your favorite ’90s TV series, you might not need to wait long for a follow-up. In the meantime, though, continue reading to see if your top picks made the list.

Baltimore Pictures
#12. Homicide: Life on the Street
– IMDb user rating: 8.7
– On air: 1993-1999
A gritty cop drama, “Homicide” was often in the shadow of “Law & Order” on NBC, but was equally, if not more revered by critics. The show was based on a book by David Simon, perhaps best known as the creator of “The Wire.” After the show went off the air, a TV movie aired in February 2000.
Rysher Entertainment
#11. Oz
– IMDb user rating: 8.7
– On air: 1997-2003
HBO became a major player in TV dramas with the release of “Oz,” where at the fictional Oswald State prison, a series of gangs quarreled as they searched for some semblance of existence while serving their sentences. The show’s premise was that the prisoners lived in a contained but open community, behind pods as opposed to traditional cells. Christopher Meloni, Ernie Hudson, and J.K. Simmons were among the show’s stars, along with Dean Winters—who you may know as “Mayhem” from the Allstate commercials.
Paramount Television
#10. Star Trek: The Next Generation
– IMDb user rating: 8.7
– On air: 1987-1994
“Star Trek: The Next Generation” is the most popular series in the famous sci-fi franchise.

Comedy Central
#9. South Park
– IMDb user rating: 8.7
– On air: 1997-present
Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s crude kids picked up where “The Ren & Stimpy Show,” “The Simpsons,” and “Beavis and Butt-Head” left off, taking cartoon humor to a new level. In the fictional Colorado town of South Park, four friends get into all kinds of mischief over the course of more than 300 episodes. A movie and hundreds of varieties of merchandise have kept the South Park brand strong well into the 21st century.
Ocean Group
#8. Dragon Ball Z
– IMDb user rating: 8.8
– On air: 1989-1996
“Dragon Ball Z” is the sequel to “Dragon Ball.” The show began by focusing on Goku and his son, Gohan, and took many twists and turns during a run of just under 300 episodes. “Dragon Ball Z” may be one of the most important shows in terms of the popularity of manga in the U.S.
Apatow Productions
#7. Freaks and Geeks
– IMDb user rating: 8.8
– On air: 1999-2000
Judd Apatow executive produced this cult classic, which only lasted one season but is cherished near-universally by those who watched it. Based on high school-aged teens, the show was the starting point of successful careers for actors like Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, and James Franco. In 2018, a documentary looked at the short but wondrous existence of “Freaks and Geeks.”
Lynch/Frost Productions
#6. Twin Peaks
– IMDb user rating: 8.8
– On air: 1990-2017
“Twin Peaks” only aired two seasons during its initial run, but its cultural impact far exceeded its runtime. The surreal mystery drama quickly gained a cult following and spawned a full-length movie, “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me,” after the show’s final episode. In 2017, Showtime revived the series for a third season and retained most of its original cast, including Kyle MacLachlan reclaiming his role as agent Dale Cooper.
Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions
#5. Friends
– IMDb user rating: 8.8
– On air: 1994-2004
NBC scored a runaway hit with “Friends,” with fans going crazy over everything from the theme song to Jennifer Aniston’s haircut. The sitcom’s premise is pretty basic: six friends live in New York City and have crazy stories of dating, family, and friendship—but something was particularly endearing about Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe. It turns out that many Major League Baseball players from Latin America watched reruns to learn English better.
John Wells Productions
#4. The West Wing
– IMDb user rating: 8.9
– On air: 1999-2006
The brainchild of Aaron Sorkin, “The West Wing” had great storylines and a powerful cast to create one of network television’s most memorable dramas. Rob Lowe, Allison Janney, Martin Sheen, and others starred in this White House-centered show. Among the many think pieces about the show, a popular theory is that “The West Wing” foreshadowed the politics of the presidency of Barack Obama.
West-Shapiro
#3. Seinfeld
– IMDb user rating: 8.9
– On air: 1989-1998
The ’90s was the era of the sitcom, and many people think “Seinfeld” was the best of all time. Created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, the show was a fictionalized telling of the former’s life. During its nine-season run, “Seinfeld” won numerous awards and is still referenced in pop culture today. Not bad for a show about nothing.
Warner Bros. Animation
#2. Batman: The Animated Series
– IMDb user rating: 9.0
– On air: 1992-1995
This noir animated version of Batman was unlike any other portrayal of the Caped Crusader at the time. Considered by some critics as the best adaptation ever of a comic book series on TV, “Batman: The Animated Series” combined precise artwork, great writing, and switched seamlessly between canon and new storylines.
HBO
#1. The Sopranos
– IMDb user rating: 9.2
– On air: 1999-2007
The questionable ending aside, “The Sopranos” might be the definition of “prestige television.” James Gandolfini starred as Tony Soprano, and the show followed him and his associates as they became mob kingpins in the Northeast. In 2021, a movie served as a prequel to “The Sopranos,” keeping the legacy of this show alive and well.

CHESTNUT HILL, MA / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / Mesothelioma Hope is inviting mesothelioma patients, caregivers, and family members to join its next virtual mesothelioma support group meeting on March 18 at 8 p.m. ET | 5 p.m. PT.
The monthly online support group provides a welcoming space where individuals affected by mesothelioma can connect with others who understand the challenges of navigating a rare cancer diagnosis. Participants can share experiences, ask questions, and gain emotional support from others in the mesothelioma community.
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure, with roughly 3,000 new diagnoses each year in the United States. For many patients and families, the emotional and practical challenges of treatment and caregiving can feel isolating. Mesothelioma Hope created its monthly support group to help individuals build community and access compassionate guidance during this journey.
The virtual meetings are led by oncology social worker Lindsey Rotnem, LISW, with additional guidance from oncology nurse navigator Liz Logan, RN, who helps facilitate discussion and provide supportive insights during each session.
"In my role with Mesothelioma Hope, my goal is to create a supportive atmosphere where patients feel less isolated and can develop healthy coping skills," Rotnem said.
Participants are welcome to join the conversation or simply listen in. Cameras are optional, and no one is required to speak. Sessions typically include open discussion around coping strategies, emotional wellness, caregiving challenges, and navigating life after diagnosis.
The support group is part of the broader mission of Mesothelioma Hope to provide patients and families with trusted resources, including medical guidance, financial assistance information, and supportive care throughout their cancer journey.
Individuals interested in attending the March 18 meeting can register through the Mesothelioma Hope Support Group page. After signing up, participants will receive instructions on how to join the secure virtual session.
About Mesothelioma Hope
Mesothelioma Hope provides personalized support and reliable information for individuals and families affected by mesothelioma.

As Spring Awakens, New Children's Book 'Are You Here?' Invites Families to Notice the Signs of Love That Never Leave Us

NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / As spring returns and the natural world begins to bloom again, a new children’s book encourages families to pause, reflect, and notice the quiet signs of love that surround us every day. In Are You Here?, author Jenny Robinson Clark makes her children’s book debut with a gentle exploration of one of life’s most tender and enduring questions: Are our loved ones still with us after they pass?
Are You Here?, publishing March 17, will be available on all major bookselling platforms. Book illustrations and design by Elisabetta Fantone Cohen.
Blending heartfelt storytelling with whimsical illustration, Are You Here? is a gentle and imaginative children’s book that invites readers to discover meaning in everyday moments. Published by Landon Hail Press, the book releases March 17 and will be available through all major bookselling platforms including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, and Books-A-Million.
The inspiration behind Are You Here? is deeply personal. During her second pregnancy, Robinson Clark’s mother passed which brought both profound grief and an unexpected challenge: how to help her young children understand death, memory, and the feeling that someone we love is still near.
Through storytelling, faith, and the comforting idea that love reveals itself in subtle ways, Robinson Clark began to transform her grief into something hopeful. That journey ultimately became Are You Here?, a whimsical and heartfelt book written to encourage readers to seek and notice everyday signs, reminding us that those we miss are still with us, in ways both subtle and profound.
"In Are You Here?, Jenny Robinson Clark reassures us – young and old – that those we love who have crossed are always with us. Equally beautiful in its writing as well as its art work, it will leave you feeling less alone, full of hope, and lovingly watched over. The perfect gift for a child, or anyone, suffering the physical loss of someone they love." – Laura Lynne Jackson, NY Times Bestselling author of Signs, Guided, and The Light Between Us.
From a hidden ladybug tucked into every page to interactive illustrations that encourage readers to look closely and discover signs for themselves, the book offers both a gentle story and a shared family experience.
Robinson Clark’s children gather around the couch, reading Are You Here?
The story’s roots began at a retreat Robinson Clark attended by Dr. Joe Dispenza. She had initially gone with the intention to connect to her mom. A couple days after returning from the retreat Robinson Clark received a message she believed was from her mom, and the words flowed onto paper. She showed them to her husband, Travis Clark of We The Kings, who composed the heartfelt song "Are You Here," a deeply personal tribute exploring the feeling that loved ones continue to reach us in unexpected ways.
What began as a song of remembrance has now grown into a story for families, one that invites readers to remain open to love, connection, and the quiet signs that remind us we are never truly alone.
"Are You Here?… is a tender, beautifully written book that gently opens the door to conversations about grief and loss," writes parenting coach and early childhood educator, Albiona Rakipi, "Through a child’s curiosity and wonder, it invites young readers to look for the quiet signs that love continues even when someone we love is no longer physically here. A meaningful resource for families navigating loss together."
Author Jenny Robinson Clark with her children’s book Are You Here? at Together at Peace’s Sparkle of Hope Luncheon on September 28, 2025, a heartfelt gathering dedicated to honoring the memory of loved ones and celebrating the enduring connections that remain.
"Early one morning, at a moment when my heart was open and I felt deeply connected, I received what I believe was a message from my mom, a message that changed everything," says Robinson Clark.
"She reminded me that she was still with me, all around me, showing up in unexpected and beautiful ways like rainbows, ladybugs, and dragonflies. That experience shifted how I understood connection and comfort, and I knew I couldn’t keep it to myself."
"I wrote Are You Here? to share that reassurance with children, families and those of all ages, so they can notice love in the little signs that appear when we’re thinking of someone we love, and know they’re never truly alone."
Prior to becoming a mother, author, and entrepreneur, Robinson Clark built a creative career as a dancer and actor in California. Storytelling and artistic expression have long been central to her life, and today she brings that same spirit into her work as a writer and creative collaborator.
Jenny and her husband, musician Travis Clark, live in Nashville, Tennessee, where they are building a creative and intentional life with their four children. Together, their work blends music, storytelling, and imagination to create meaningful experiences that bring comfort, connection, and hope to families.
A launch event celebrating the release of Are You Here? will take place March 17th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM in Orlando, Florida, featuring a special appearance by Robinson Clark and a live performance by her husband Travis.
The event is free and open to the public, though guests are encouraged to RSVP to receive the event address and additional details.
"Are You Here? is a children’s book about grief that touches hearts of any age," says Samantha Joy, Editor-in-Chief and Founder of Landon Hail Press. "Robinson Clark delivers a powerful reminder that even when we cannot feel our loved one’s physical presence, they are always there to guide us if we are willing to listen."
Robinson Clark delivers a powerful reminder to those that have lost a loved one: even when we cannot feel their physical presence, they are always there to guide us if we are willing to listen."
Dedicated to creating a sacred and transparent space for writers, Landon Hail Press allows authors to own the creative direction of their book and their brand. LHP books have been sold on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, bookshop.org, and more, and featured in major publications like People.com.

The appointment signals a bold next step for RSFG – bringing the leadership, team, and community-first vision of Remergify directly into the organization as it moves from concept to construction
HOMESTEAD, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / Farrington Capital Group today announced the appointment of Stuart Fine, Founder and CEO of Remergify, as Acting Chief Executive Officer of ReadySetFundGrow (RSFG). Fine will assume operational leadership of RSFG while continuing to serve in his role at Remergify, integrating key members of the Remergify team into the RSFG organization as the project advances from planning into active development. The appointment marks a significant acceleration of the co-venture partnership between the two organizations and signals that RSFG is moving with real urgency toward execution.
For Alfred Farrington II, the founder and Managing Director of Farrington Capital Group, the decision was straightforward. RSFG was always designed to be more than a real estate or infrastructure play. It is a community transformation project – and that requires leadership with a proven track record of turning bold ideas into lasting impact. Stuart Fine brings exactly that.
"Stuart doesn’t just understand what we’re building – he embodies it. His work at Remergify has demonstrated what it looks like to lead with community purpose and deliver real results. Bringing him in as Acting CEO, and weaving the Remergify team into the fabric of RSFG, is how we make sure this project doesn’t just get built – it gets built right, for the people it was designed to serve."
– Alfred Farrington II, Founder & Managing Director, Farrington Capital Group
A Leader Built for This Moment
Stuart Fine has built Remergify around a core conviction: that technology investment and community development are not competing priorities – they are the same priority, pursued together or not at all. Under his leadership, Remergify has established itself as a co-venture partner committed to building equitable digital infrastructure in communities that have been bypassed by conventional tech investment.
That philosophy is not incidental to the RSFG mission. It is the RSFG mission. South Miami-Dade – a federally designated Targeted Urban Area with 250,000+ residents and 15,000+ businesses and zero Tier-grade data center facilities – is not a market that conventional operators have chosen to serve. RSFG exists precisely because Stuart Fine, Alfred Farrington II, and the teams they have built believe that gap is both a moral failure and a genuine opportunity. The Acting CEO appointment formalizes that shared belief into a unified leadership structure.
"ReadySetFundGrow is one of those rare projects where the business case and the community case are identical. We’re not compromising on returns to serve South Dade, and we’re not compromising on community impact to generate returns. This is what it looks like when you build infrastructure from the ground up with the community in mind. I’m honored to step into this role and committed to making sure RSFG becomes everything it was designed to be – for the businesses, the residents, and the future of this corridor."
– Stuart Fine, Acting CEO, ReadySetFundGrow & CEO, Remergify
One Vision. Two Organizations. A Unified Team.
As part of the appointment, select members of the Remergify team will be incorporated into RSFG operations, bringing with them deep experience in technology strategy, community engagement, and infrastructure development. This integration is designed to give RSFG immediate operational depth without requiring a lengthy standalone hiring process – allowing the project to move faster and more effectively from the outset.
The combined team will be responsible for:
Technology strategy and infrastructure planning for the micro data center, network buildout, and managed services offering
Community outreach and partnership development with South Dade businesses, healthcare providers, and anchor institutions
Foundation programming including workforce training, digital literacy, and certification partnerships with CareerSource South Florida and Miami-Dade College
Investor and lender relations as RSFG advances toward closing its $1,000,000 senior secured financing
The integration reflects a broader philosophy that both Fine and Farrington share: that the organizations best positioned to serve underinvested communities are the ones willing to move beyond conventional institutional boundaries and build something genuinely new.
What Comes Next
With Fine in place as Acting CEO, RSFG is accelerating on several fronts simultaneously. The project is actively pursuing $1,000,000 in senior secured financing to fund a nine-month infrastructure buildout at 23095 S Dixie Hwy, Homestead, FL 33170. Engineering plans, permitting timelines, and anchor tenant outreach are all in progress.
The facility – which will house a 10-rack micro data center, 25+ coworking seats, a virtual office hub, and 15 EV charging ports – is projected to reach stabilized operations within 24 months of construction start, generating $431,000 in annual effective gross income and a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 2.45x at stabilization.
More than the numbers, though, what RSFG represents is a proof of concept for a new model of technology investment – one that proves, once and for all, that serving underinvested communities and delivering strong financial returns are not mutually exclusive goals. Under Stuart Fine’s leadership, that proof of concept is now moving from vision to reality.
