They were on your television every week, getting laughs and sometimes stealing scenes from the people whose names appeared first in the credits. Do you remember their characters? How about their actual names? Can you get to 5?
There were so many shows that even die-hard fans couldn’t keep up—and some gems (and not so gems) just slipped through the cracks in our collective memories. From talking bunnies to bizarre dramas, here are 35 shows from the ’90s you probably totally forgot about (until now).
Carol Wayne could get a laugh out of Johnny Carson before she’d even finished a sentence. Millions knew her face, her voice, and exactly what kind of trouble she brought to his sketches. Then came a trip to Mexico—and a final few days that people are still trying to piece together.
On TV, The Brady Bunch was pure blended family bliss—six kids, two perfect parents, and a dog who never aged. But when the cameras stopped rolling, real life was anything but squeaky clean. Secret romances, bitter feuds, career-crushing choices… the Brady house had its share of drama.
Some romantic comedies make you laugh and make you want to fall in love. Others seem to get the "com" part right but forget about the "rom". These 70s rom-coms had plenty of jokes, arguments, and awkward situations. But romance? Well, we aren't buying it. Are you?
For years, John Stamos was the guy who could make everything better with a little advice and a hug before the credits rolled. But long after Full House ended, when his own life reached a breaking point—it was a member of his TV family that saved his life and made things better.
Almost every great show has one: that character who just grates on your nerves. Whether they were meant to be annoying or just ended up that way, these characters made us roll our eyes, yell at the screen, and sometimes even question why we were watching in the first place.
There was a time when these women were everywhere. They headlined movies, appeared on magazine covers and received enough fan mail to fill entire rooms. Hollywood even promoted some of them as the next Marilyn Monroe (talk about big shoes to fill). Today, most people born after 2000 probably haven’t heard of any of them. So...how many do you remember?
