'90s TV Shows That Never Took Off But, We Still Love... & Some That We're Glad Went Away! | Part 1

[@JuicyPopEntertainment]

Thanks for all the amazing feedback on this video y'all! I'm already working on Part 2 which I plan to upload on Monday. I already have a long list of shows but I would appreciate if you'd continue to list other shows that I may not have thought of. By the looks of things, I will definitely need to do a Part 3 too! 😝

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

Please cover the following shows: Singer & Sons Sugar & Spice Where I Live Minor Adjustments Sparks Built To Last Grown Ups Arsenio. He had a sitcom after his talk show ended. The Gregory Hines Show

[@alewisscott]

This is great! For your next video can you please add Bustin' Loose (starring Jimmie JJ Walker and Vonetta McGhee) and Goode Behavior (starring Sherman Hemsley, Dorien Wilson and Alex Datcher. I think Gabrielle Union was on the show too )? I think Bustin Loose ran only one season and Good Behavior ran two seasons. It's so great to know many of our famous actors, actresses, and singers have been in the entertainment business for quite some time.😊

Some hold up well (Kenan & Kel; Cousin Skeeter; The Brothers Garcia; Taina; Romeo!; True Jackson, VP), while others didn't (I'm looking at you, The Nick Cannon Show, Just Jordan, The Haunted Hathaways, Game Shakers, Young Dylan & That Girl Lay Lay).

[@richardkelly9971]

What gets me about this list is that it repeatedly contains some of our favorite actors and actresses who have starred in some of the best 80s and 90s and even 2000s sitcoms ever. It’s interesting, while some couldn’t recapture that magic on new shows, others were able to. Flex and Kelly went on to succeed on One on One, Brandy became successful with Moesha and in her music career, and Larenz Tate literally is considered one of the heartthrobs of the 90s. He’s basically a household name at this point. Ergo, seeing Kadeem and Malcolm from both the Cosby Show and a Different World couldn’t reclaim that success on new sitcoms. I swear, the 90s winning formula was either a good sitcom or a record deal, and it looks like you honestly needed both.

[@mrsx7944]

On Our Own basically took the idea from Party of Five. Both premiered in ',94. And the show w Telma Hopkins and Cindy Williams took the idea from Kate&Allie. Two single moms blending their homes.
