Boy Meets World (1993-2000)
The popular television program “Boy Meets World” follows Cory Matthews as he makes his way through adolescence with the help of his closest friend Shawn Hunter, his teacher and neighbor George Feeny, and his lady love Topanga Lawrence. This coming-of-age series, which was created by Michael Jacobs and April Kelly, is brimming with invaluable advice on how to handle puberty. In depicting the key characters’ thrilling new love lives as they explore young romance in all its glory, it is similar to “That 90s Show” in tone.
Fifteen (1991-1993)
You may watch “Fifteen,” a four-season teen drama about the kids of Hillside School, to see Ryan Reynolds’ mini-me being utterly cute. Even though the show deals with important issues like infidelity, the impact of divorce on children, and alcohol misuse, it is a pretty harmless depiction of the inner thoughts of youngsters. The program features several stereotypes similar to those in “That 90s Show,” providing it another reliable source of comfort.
Full House (1987-1995)
The protagonist of Jeff Franklin’s television series “Full House” is Danny Tanner, a single father of DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle. Danny manages to raise his kids as well as he can with the help of his best friend Joey and brother-in-law Jesse. Following the young comedy characters as they mature and change over the course of an eight-year run is incredibly fulfilling because it makes them seem like real people you know. In a similar vein to how the elder iterations of the youngsters from “That 70s Show” are depicted in its spin-off, watching out for their offspring as they once did.
Moesha (1996-2001)
Moesha (Brandy Norwood), the title character, is not your typical teenage girl. After her mother dies, she assumes the role of a mother figure in her household. She finds it difficult to relinquish control of the household to her stepmother after her father remarries. Like Leia from “That 90s Show,” Moesha is really just someone who is looking for themselves underneath all of this. In the five seasons of “Moesha,” we watch her deal with comedic circumstances that frequently arise during her agonizingly perplexing adolescence.
Salute Your Shorts (1991-1992)
Like in “Salute Your Shorts,” teenage drama only intensifies when it is set in a summer camp. It is based on the Thomas Hill and Steve Slavkin book “Salute Your Shorts: Life at Summer Camp,” who is also the show’s creator and narrator. The show focuses on the daily hilarity and power struggles amongst the males competing for the attention of the female camp counselors. They are forced to commit the silliest of crimes directly in front of their honorable but dimwitted counselor.
The two-season show has a unique appeal since it is far more innocent and childlike than modern teenage comedy. However, it involves the uncertainty and growing pains that characterize any adolescent’s life, regardless of the chronological period, as ‘That 90s Show’ asserts.
Saved by the Bell (1989-1992)
Sam Bobrick’s original “Saved by the Bell” centers on a group of high school students from Bayside High School in Los Angeles. It shows their everyday antics and life’s difficulties, interspersed with wholesome moments as the group of friends helps one another through difficult times. The important themes of women’s rights, drug misuse, homelessness, and mortality are also discussed. The way the relationships between the buddies deepen throughout the course of the program is comparable to “That 90s Show.”
That 70s Show (1998-2006)
At the risk of making the countdown list lackluster, we feel compelled to include “That 70s Show” at the top for no other reason than that it merits it (especially if you haven’t seen it yet). The most popular teen sitcom of the 1990s was the star-studded series starring a young Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Topher Grace, and Laura Prepon. Similar to “That 90’s Show,” it focuses on the group’s attempt to find meaning in their chaotic teenage life.
Welcome Freshmen (1991-1993)
Welcome Freshman began as a sketch comedy and ultimately took on the shape of a sitcom, following the daily antics of the first-year students at Hawthorne High School. The Nickelodeon series, which was created by Robert Mittenthal, included brief skits about the group’s difficulties in various circumstances. In terms of humor and the escapades of the adolescent characters, it is comparable to “That 90s Show.”
