Once again, we’re here to commemorate the best decade so far. Yes, it’s the last bit of the 1900s, and yes, it is so nostalgic that every third or so article is dedicated to it. And yes, once again, it’s the ‘90s! However, we won’t be talking about your favorite childhood toys or the boy bands you loved so dearly, but rather about the best TV series of the decade. Oh yes, it is time for a list dedicated to the most fabulous ‘90s TV shows!
While it’s very likely that you weren’t allowed to watch a good half of these TV series back then, you probably did so anyway in the secrecy of your room or by checking the reruns. Of course, the ‘90s had their fair share of family-friendly shows, too, like The Simpsons or the Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, but the most prized ones were the amazing adult-oriented shows. The ones that you craved watching oh so dearly! Now you definitely can, and let us remind you of such fantastic once-forbidden shows as the X-Files, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, or the best of them all - Twin Peaks.
So, grab a snacky snack, pick the best ‘90s TV show of the bunch, and immerse yourself into the world of entertainment! Before you do, though, don’t forget to vote for the famous series you’ve enjoyed the most, and share this article with your friends!

#23 Everybody Loves Raymond
1996 - 2005 | 9 seasons | 210 episodes
Relatability, a clever depiction of reality, and a sarcastic approach to life by the main character Ray was a sure step to success. Depicting families as slightly dysfunctional yet inseparable and unbreakable, this series resonated with many viewers and gained praise from critics. And though the plot and the narratives might seem like very well-written fiction, the show was based on the real-life exploits of the leading actor Ray Romano (also Ray in the series). Maybe that's why Everybody Loves Raymond was so effortlessly engaging and empathetic. Without delving further into the why's of this show's popularity, let's trust the critics - this series won 15 Primetime Emmy Awards and got close to ten foreign remakes.

#26 Roseanne
1988 - 1997 | 10 seasons | 231 episodes
Roseanne follows the lives of the Conners, a working-class family struggling to make ends meet. The family consisted of lively and outspoken Roseanne, her husband Dan, and their three kids (though later in the series, they have a fourth). Roseanne was praised for its realistic portrayal of a blue-collar family and for the fact that its lead characters were noticeably overweight without it being some sort of staple joke of the series. Provocative topics were also a huge part of the series, making it even more relatable to real-life working-class families.
