[@keldonmcfarland2969]

The network executives really goofed up big time across all four networks in 1993. Only a third of the new shows saw a second season. The competition from the already established shows were obviously intense. "The Cosby Show" was still on, but in decline, while "Rosanne," "Married with Children," "The Simpsons," "Fresh Prince," and the "TGIF Line up" were all at their peak. Only "Frasier" can claim to be a successful show in this year.

VALENTINEproductions possibly because most people just press skip intro! Why waste money on something no one is actually going to see?!

[@AKayfabe]

The actual reason they don’t do long intros now is not because people skip them, it’s because of run time, and more and more commercials. Shows get if lucky 22 min to run now. If you waste a min you get less. I wish all shows still had opening songs! I think Family guy does what they do specifically to prove that point.

[@chrisrj9871]

Just because they weren't popular or didn't last as long as The Simpsons doesn't mean they were bad. A show on ABC at 8:30pm Tuesdays would run against a show at 8:30pm Tuesdays on NBC, CBS, FOX, MTV, Comedy Central, TBS, any of the 1000s of TV/Cable networks. Sometimes a mega-popular show runs at the same time as any of these other shows. I will agree you can't find many great TV show openings anymore. Magic keeps dying :-(

Was about to say that 30 some shows, it would be really hard to break through to get a second season from all the competition, but through all the crap that had to be waded through (George Foreman in a show? Really?), ABC had a hit with Boy Meets World, and hit the jackpot with NYPD Blue, and did FOX ever hit it with X Files. People were ready for a show that pushed the boundaries of what you could get away with on a TV show, and the paranormal was becoming a big deal around that time, so the timing was right. Not so right for "Missing Persons". That PARTICULAR show didn't last, but they needed to wait some years before the concept of finding missing people became a big deal, as they tried again with the concept and got a hit out of Without A Trace. Wonder if the producers behind Trace ever got any inspiration from Missing Persons.

I agree, Winter Steele! "Phenom" was indeed promising; despite tying for 27th place--along with "Evening Shade" and "Rescue 911--for the 1993-94 season and maintaining the viewing audience from its robust lead-in on Tuesday nights, the oh-so-adorable family sitcom "Full House" (which ranked 16th), "Phenom" was unfortunately canceled by ABC after only one season (22 episodes were produced). I'll have to check out an episode of "Phenom" someday, if the uploaded episodes haven't been removed from KZbin, that is (due to copyright claims).

After "Perfect Strangers" his career was essentially kaput! I guess that 1993 show was one they were hoping would build on his success from the former.

[@momster64]

ab dude apparently that particular episode had mile-a-minute fat-joke hilarity....

[@Laceykat66]

Just think, if it had gone a few seasons Courtney COx would not have had "Friends."

[@blakestone5297]

Hello?? The Langoliers?!

[@DarkReapersGrim]

Same thing I was thinking. She started Friends a year later and became a multi-millionaire.

[@wx4newengland]

Some hits, Some ok show, and a lot of WTF.

It’s amazing that Brandy and Ray J both had their TV debut at the same time.

[@Aqweius]

It's kind of neat to see this montage of 90's (I was a child from 90-93, and a teenager onward) I chuckled every time I saw a show that I remembered as it lasted long enough to engrain in my memory and was frankly horrified by much of the rest, agreeing with the vast majority of other commenters that speculated a lot of cocaine must of been a flowin' in order to get those dumpster fires green lit. And Paula Poundstone. Yikes! I recall seeing her on either Showtime or HBO (one of the comedy hours) and thinking back then that she was moderately funny for being such a kook, but seeing her in her show's intro had all my stranger danger alarms going off in my head!

[@robertaitken4855]

Ready to see intros from bad shows (Sees The Mommies) I wasn’t ready (Sees Townsend Television) Stop it (Sees Joe’s Life) Tell my family I love them.

[@andrewcutler1380]

Haha I didn’t even get that far. I could barely make it through the cringe that was ‘The Trouble with Larry.’

[@Draliseth]

Joes Life was infinitely better than the Judith Light one before it. Not saying either are good but..

I always thought Bakersfield P.D was a beer commercial when it first started

[@eyeswideshut7354]

ginger suicide Gus Fringe got the same Volvo from Breaking Bad

[@ManOfThePeople75]

Can see how almost 8 people watched the Paul Poundstone Show.

[@MemoryLane77852]

You forgot Living Single which premiered in fall of 93.

[@eyeswideshut7354]

-- awesome intro

[@deborahjohnson1441]

I used to watch Thea. The show gave us Brandy before she became an R & B superstar. Yvette Wilson starred on The Parkers. Jason Weaver played young Michael in The Jacksons: An American Dream.

[@brettpatterson404]

14:20 He decided to leave Bakersfield and open a chicken restaurant called Los Pollos.

[@eyeswideshut7354]

Brett Patterson same Volvo, too

[@AnnusMirabilus]

13:17 I remember "South of Sunset" vividly. At the time my family had just moved to Detroit after we had lived in Georgia during most of my childhood. I was super hyped for that show because it was released exactly on my birthday, October 27. Then it was gone immediately afterward. Hahaha. One show. RIP, Glenn Frey.

[@SaraSarah]

That was a good year for the Strong Brothers

[@ParsnipPizza]

In what universe does Bronson Pinchot deserve an audience standing applause just for appearing

[@bindardundat454]

Wow 1993, the year of my first born . As she was extremely colicky I spent a lot of time round the clock comforting her . Spent a lot of time watching tv too, these shows I totally forgot about . Thx for the memories

[@travis7310]

"The Paula Poundstone Show" intro is painful. Like, she's just saying random shit no one cares about and she's trying to be funny. She can't even pretend!

[@doctorthirteen5727]

travis7310 It was on Saturdays...DOA.

[@dickycrayon7953]

It was utterly painful. I agree. I was kind of embarrassed

[@b0bbumman]

It was like the intro to a KZbin video before KZbin...😂😂

Man, I loved ordering a pizza on Fridays and watching Brisco County Jr. followed by The X-Files!

If it took 34 shows to make the Nanny, I'll take it. My absolute favorite sitcom besides Three's Company and Who's the Boss

[@davidbrothers3788]

That Lois and Clark show was pretty good but I have a hard time seeing anybody but gene Hackman playing lex luther

[@dudebrochill6583]

Who the hell is Paula Poundstone and who in a million years would think she would need her own tv show??

[@AnnusMirabilus]

If I were an executive producer who was somehow high enough to invest money in that show I would have demanded a refund immediately after I saw that video. JFC...

[@littleteethkeith]

The Paula Poundstone Show looked great. Someone please kill me.

[@AnnusMirabilus]

I thought that your punchline was going to be "for me to poop on."

[@pika23]

I used to know this woman who would cosplay as Paula poundstone when she went to comedy shows...we had the same taste in comedy and we'd run into each other at the regional club where the big names would stop at. She lived in my town and was a nurse at the hospital...lovely lady just kooky

[@Laceykat66]

What is it about the 90s that makes it so dated just a few decades later? Were they trying to hard to be relevant? Shows from the 70s seemed more universal. Sure a scene might not have cell phones but you could watch it today without saying, "Wow, how old fashion." Thank you for this stroll down memory lane. I remember about four of these show.

[@TJ52359]

the Fashion plays into it a lot... the extremes of the 70s & 80s were just that, extremes, and occasionally commented on in the works of their Era ( Herb Tarlek on WKRP and his Plaid Suits) or women w/ shoulder pads in the 80s... the 90s saw too many 'neons' as well as the Other direction with Flannel and regardless what color ones shirt was the cut of Jeans (what we now call 'mom jeans') was distinct to the era (and unlike bell bottoms were not left out of frame in medium shots) another thing I'm seeing from this Video is the use of certain fonts and type-sets (how many shows from 1993 alone used 'handwriting' for part of the Logo, if not the cast names... or have an overly stylized lettering (if only for a single letter)

[@TombstoneChris]

The 90s was the last great decade don't hate on it grandma

[@susanb2015]

The 70s had the best shows.

[@ashleyworden1887]

I so love Lois & Clark! I own the entire series on dvd!

i remember most of these. i felt like the only person that remember Phenom

Smilin' Dro Frazier naw, I remember it too!

[@RobCamp-rmc_0]

I remember it, it was pretty good, and I thought Angela Goethals was cute as heck.

[@lp-xl9ld]

Two of the greatest shows of all time; a couple of decent ones that were around for a few years; a ton of I-don't-even-remember-these-being-on (and '93 wasn't *that* long ago, relative to some of your other compilations)!

[@demetriusdillard2863]

Funny, I didn't see the opening credits to "Living Single" in this montage...the "Designing Women"-esque sitcom premiered on 22 August 1993 and lasted for five seasons on Fox. As you mentioned in your opening spiel, Fox did indeed become a formidable contender to the "Big Three" for the first time, especially after outbidding CBS for NFL broadcast rights in late 1993. Aside from the big winners ("Frasier," "The Nanny," "Grace Under Fire," "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman," "SeaQuest DSV," "The X-Files," "Dave's World," "Boy Meets World," and "NYPD Blue"), there were quite a few stinkers this season ("Daddy Dearest," "South Of Sunset," "George," "The Paula Poundstone Show," "Angel Falls," "The Trouble With Larry," "Family Album," "It Had To Be You," "The Second Half," "Joe's Life," and, of course, "Saved By The Bell: The College Years"), as well as a handful of promising but unsuccessful gems that never clicked with viewers ("The Adventures Of Brisco County, Jr.," "Harts Of The West," "Against The Grain," "The Sinbad Show," "NBC's Friday Night Mystery," "Thea," "Missing Persons," "Bakersfield P.D.," "The Mommies," "Townsend Television," "Cafe Americain," "Moon Over Miami," "The John Larroquette Show," and "Phenom"). Here's a bit of trivia for you: "Diagnosis: Murder" replaced both "It Had To Be You" and "Family Album" in late October; the "Quincy"-inspired forensic crime drama enjoyed a marginally successful eight-year run on CBS...it was also Dick Van Dyke's first successful series in many years--following the cancellation of his groundbreaking 1960s sitcom ("The Dick Van Dyke Show")--after a string of unsuccessful failures ("The New Dick Van Dyke Show," "Van Dyke and Company," and "The Van Dyke Show'). Is it just me, or is the opening credit sequence to "The Paula Poundstone Show" far more entertaining than the actual series itself? Along with the late, great Glenn Frey's ill-fated private eye drama "South Of Sunset" (which lasted only one [extremely low-rated] telecast in late October of '93; CBS promoted the hell out of "South Of Sunset" during the 1993 World Series--luckily, four additional episodes, including the pilot, aired on VH1 the following year [at the height of the hoopla surrounding Frey's reunion with his former Eagles bandmates]), "The Paula Poundstone Show" was the most embarrassing dud of the 1993-94 season (ABC aired only two episodes on Saturday nights before it was abruptly canceled). And I was flattered by Poundstone's obligatory but sly reference to the '90s crime drama "The Commish" (starring Michael "The Shield" Chiklis and the late, great Theresa Saldana), which aired on Saturday nights directly after her comedy/variety series! Whose bright idea was it to greenlight a lightweight--and lightheaded--family sitcom starring former heavyweight boxing champion (and fat-reducing cookware pitchman/peddler) George Foreman? That's like casting former NBA badboys Dennis Rodman and Latrell Sprewell as a mismatched pair of private investigators! You'd think a sitcom (I'm talking, of course, about "Daddy Dearest") co-starring comedy giants Richard Lewis and the late, great Don Rickles as father and son would've been ratings gold, but ultimately it wasn't...despite having the long-running blue collar sitcom "Married...With Children" as its lead-in on Sunday nights, "Daddy Dearest" was yanked from the Fox schedule in early December after eleven telecasts (with one episode left in the can). "NBC's Friday Night Mystery" was an intriguing but unsuccessful attempt by the "Peacock Network" to revive their successful "umbrella" series of the 1970s, "The NBC Mystery Movie" (which had consisted of, among other programs, "Columbo," "McCloud," "McMillian and Wife," and "Banacek"). Sadly, veteran actor Raymond Burr would die in September of '93, leaving their successful "Perry Mason" made-for-television films--which had aired regularly on NBC (once, twice, or even thrice per year) since 1985--in limbo; four additional films (sans Burr) aired sporadically throughout the next two years under the title "A Perry Mason Mystery." I did enjoy listening to the late Don LaFontaine's voiceover during the promo, however; LaFontaine also narrated the promo for the critically acclaimed but short-lived high school sports drama "Against The Grain" (co-starring a young thespian by the name of Ben Affleck). Despite the undeniable talents of actor/comedian/writer/director Robert Townsend (he collaborated with "In Living Color" guru Keenan Ivory Wayans on the cult '80s film "Hollywood Shuffle"--one of my all-time favorite films!--as well as the underrated early '90s musical melodrama "The Five Heartbeats"), "Townsend Television" was basically an imitation of Wayans' groundbreaking sketch comedy/variety series "In Living Color" (also airing on Fox); due to fierce competition on Sundays from CBS's long-running newsmagazine "60 Minutes" and ABC's utterly ridiculous but successful "America's Funniest Home Videos" and "America's Funniest People," Fox pulled the plug on "Townsend Television" after ten episodes. But it's a delight to see veteran comedian John "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Witherspoon ("The Wayans Bros." and "Friday") in the opening credits! As for the much-ridiculed "Saved By The Bell: The College Years," the less said, the better...it was obviously greenlit by NBC--albeit rather quickly--due to the gigantic success of its parent series, "Saved By The Bell," on Saturday mornings; NBC's execs had high hopes that "SBTB's" fanbase (comprising of teenagers, obviously) would follow the college exploits of three of Bayside High School's graduating students (Zack Morris, A.C. Slater, and Samuel "Screech" Powers) once "SBTB: The College Years" premiered in primetime...alas, it was not to be; "SBTB: The College Years" was massacred in its timeslot on Tuesdays by ABC's oh-so-adorable hit family sitcom "Full House," CBS's informative, life-saving docudrama "Rescue 911" (hosted by the one and only William Shatner), and Fox's critically acclaimed urban comedy series "Roc." This particular opening credits sequence for "SBTB: The College Years" is from the pilot episode, which aired on 22 May 1993; when "SBTB: The College Years" began its regular run in September, however, Essence Atkins was abruptly dropped from the cast when Tiffani (Amber-)Thiessen agreed to reprise the role of Zack's former girlfriend from Bayside, cheerleader and prom queen Kelly Kapowski. Despite the failure of "The College Years," NBC continued "SBTB" on Saturday mornings as "Saved By The Bell: The New Class," complete with a new cast (save for Dennis Haskins, who played bumbling Bayside principal Richard Belding); despite being critically panned by both critics and fans, "SBTB: The New Class" lasted seven interminable seasons--amid numerous cast changes spanning throughout each season--as a staple of NBC's "TNBC" lineup before ending in 2000. All in all, this was yet another highly entertaining montage! Thanks for uploading, RWdt09!

[@RwDt09]

Thanks for your detailed input. And yeah, Living Single was one I had overlooked somehow to include in the video. It's happened a few times before. One of these days I'll get it right each and every time.

Paula Poundstone had the worst theme song ever created. "So you're home on a Saturday night, don't you have a social life?- no" I'm not watching anything with that intro.

[@trendel13]
