Since this is a website about 90s Sitcoms, I figured I’d start off by listing my own personal top 10 list of the best sitcoms of the 90s.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you:

The Top 10 Best Sitcoms of the 90s

1. Seinfeld – This show is on pretty much everyone’s top 10 list of the best sitcoms of the 90s and for good reason; it was original in so many ways. Each week it delivered original plots talking about the random issues in life and it always made me laugh.

By the way, Elaine was, by far, the funniest character on the show.

2. Friends – This show had its legions of fans and I was one of them, but I also remember it also having its fair share of haters.

I think I liked the show because I, like the characters on the show, was in my 20s at the time it aired and I’m also a native New Yorker. Other than that, I just thought it was just plain funny with Chandler and Rachael being my favorite characters.

3. Martin – I’ve never seen this Martin listed on anyone’s top ten list, but it’s definitely on mine. This show is just plain hilarious and I can still LMAO even today when I watch the reruns. Some of the characters played by Martin like Shenehneh, Jerome, Momma, etc. were just over the top and had a lot of memorable lines.

4. Roseanne – Loved this show; mainly the earlier seasons prior to them getting rich from the lottery. There was nothing corny or squeaky clean about the Conners and it was pretty damned funny too.

5. Frasier – It took me a while to warm up to this show; I wasn’t a fan of Cheers back in the 80s unlike everyone else it seems. Once I did eventually give Frasier a chance, I was glad I did. I loved the mix of Frasier and Niles’ snobbishness combined with their down-to-earth blue collar sensibility of their dad.

6. The Simpsons – Yes, I know this was an animated show, but I’m still putting it on the list. On of the first animated shows of it’s kind, the Simpsons may have been a cartoon, but its humor was obviously designed for adults. Great stuff. I stopped watching it in the 2000s; I can only take so much of a good thing.

7. Southpark – Another animated cartoon. It took the twisted cartoon sitcom up a notch with is in-your-face comedy. Not for the faint of heart. Like the Simpsons, I also stopped watching this show in the 2000s.

8. Married with Children – Loved this show, particularly the early seasons. Like Roseanne, it was the opposite of squeaky clean. Perhaps America had gotten a little bored of the corny happy-go-lucky family themes and wanted a little something different and with Married with Children, they got it.

9. Beavis and Butt-head – This show was stupid, but I loved it. I was in my early 20s when this show first aired and I just loved the stupid humor at the time. Perhaps, I wasn’t sober at the time, but that was such a long time ago, I don’t even remember.

10. Strangers with Candy – This sitcom was short-lived, but I was a huge fan. I think I was drawn to it because I was such a big fan of the author, David Sedaris and I wanted to see his sister, Amy in action. It was a completely twisted and absolutely irreverent version of those old after-school specials back in the day.

Well, that’s about it for my top 10 best sitcoms of the 90s. There were other sitcoms I liked as well, but these were my favorite.
