The 90s didn’t just do sitcoms, they practically engineered the comfort-food blueprint. The jokes were built for rewatching, the characters felt like people you’d actually miss, and the episodes didn’t demand a spreadsheet to understand what was happening. Even if you didn’t grow up in the decade, these shows still hit because they’re simple in the best way: funny setups, sharp timing, and just enough heart to make the laughs stick. Here are 20 90s sitcoms that still feel like they’re playing in a different league.
