Do Teens Know These 90s Sitcoms?? (Full House, Home Improvement, Roseanne)

[@shelly2590]

“Are these really famous shows?” 😢 I’m dying on the inside. How do they know Full House but not The Nanny?

[@andrewft31]

Because Full House had a sequel series recently so it is fresher in peoples minds

[@Phanthief95]

@@andrewft31 And yet they didn’t know Roseanne, Will & Grace, or Frasier which had revivals.

[@ead630]

@@andrewft31 It's not even that. In the early 2010's Full House was the first show to come on Nick@Nite. Every kid who was watching Nickelodeon then would be familiar with Full House.

That brunette curly haired guy was such a jerk

[@lman2z]

"Who puts Green and Orange together?!" How about the IRISH?? Literally an entire country does it. 😂😂

[@ASkarsgardWoman]

Roseanne was one of the best sitcoms ever! Simple family - with real life struggles of parenting, money issues - real life problems

[@MLyonArt]

There's a whole wide world of quality television out there and it doesn't include Friends.

[@mintydoodz]

Living Single is still soooo funny. My fave ensemble cast everrrrr.

[@Elisheval]

The intro to Mad about you sounds like Rosanne? Are they STONED?

[@darkur13]

I can’t believe these kids didn’t know a lot of these but ESPECIALLY Will & Grace!

[@boblester8641]

They used to make actual shows that weren’t reality shows

[@SM89-]

yo! Homie saw the nanny and said let me get my crystals out. Then pulled some gravel out the pocket😂.

[@rachel.reads.books103]

I'm a 1999 baby and I knew all but one of these... my parents raised me right!

[@lessismore8533]

They introduced you huh?..

[@sharqane]

Dani, Mad About You came out in 92. iMovie came out in 99. Those iMovie transitions only exist BECAUSE of shows like that.

[@ChaosInFlux]

The Conner's wasn't canceled, Roseanne was canceled off the show.

[@MeOhSugerMay]

I was already feeling old for knowing all of these, and then Jaxon called the 90s retro. Sincerely, a 90's baby. XD

[@katstorm13]

Our local oldies radio station plays 80's and 90's. They don't still call it the oldies station, but when I was a kid in the 80's it played 50's-70's lol.

[@lenniedavis1294]

OMG Those intros are just filled with nostalgia. I freakin miss the 90s.

[@ChaneyMoet]

I almost cried watching this 😭 thanks for making me feel old

[@dannykent6190]

Mad About You was one of the best sitcoms.

[@monacaravetta]

Starring an Oscar winner, no less.

[@Phanthief95]

9:02 These guys really need to watch The Nanny. If they think Geoffrey from Fresh Prince was a savage butler, then they haven’t met Niles.

[@nataliemione9480]

The Nanny was hysterical

[@TheVitamin421]

Janelle thinking Martin Lawrence is Cuba Gooding Jr.'s son is hilarious!!!

[@Neji513]

I knew they were doomed as soon as they didn't know will and grace and living single

[@sharonojei38]

R.I.P Bob Saget..... 🙏🏽✝️♥️

[@TheWillikerz]

Living Single.... The original (and ultimate blueprint for) "Friends"

[@rob4canada]

They keep talking about Friends but when Mad About You comes up they did not know Phoebe's twin sister Ursula was from the show and there was a cross over episode with the main characters where they mistake Phoebe for Ursula.

[@matthewrowlett1564]

This was painful to watch... especially when NOBODY KNEW MARTIN LAWRENCE... The man has been in so many comedy films and sitcoms... I mean, honestly... WHO hasn't heard of Martin Lawrence? This makes me sad. Very, very sad.

[@dem_bears]

RIP Allyson. You will be missed and gone way too soon. My prayers are for your family, friends, and the React family, 🙏

[@powerviolentnightmare5026]

The funny thing is, here in Germany, about 80 percent of these shows are still on air as Reruns

[@leonie7190]

true

[@marywellington6229]

As someone who is 19 and knew almost all of these as well as one’s older than this(I love Lucy, I dream of genie, bewitched, etc) it’s not a generational thing most of these teens were just ditzy

[@ashesbaby266]

I agree 💯

[@erinj.2501]

SO GLAD TO HEAR THIS!! I wondered what the heck was going on. 🤣

[@gregorymakap]

The disrespect to Martin Lawrence 😭😭😭

[@tylerbuck1900]

90s TV Sitcoms is awesome

[@SageWolf219]

Janelle give me your card! How did you mistake Martin Lawrence for Cuba Gooding Jr?? They have different complexions and look nothing alike. Not to mention they're around the same age so no way their father and son! Martin was a very popular sitcom.

[@royaldoublemccheesie1876]

Really missed out on Family Matters, Perfect Strangers, Step by Step, NewsRadio, Boy Meets World and Saved By The Bell

[@laudanum669]

"NewsRadio" is one of my favorite Sitcoms ever.

[@gigi-ij1hk]

Perfect Strangers premiered in the '80s

[@nicolesaunders2964]

Fun fact before they were on Martin, Tichina Arnold and Tisha Campbell played singers in the movie The Little Shop of Horrors

[@1jidion]

will and grace did not run from 98-2020 consecutively, it ran for nearly 10 years, and got a revival

[@ashesbaby266]

You are correct. The final number of seasons added to ten or eleven in total (8 seasons originally, two seasons upon revival).

[@aaronhusk]

When I was their age, I knew of many shows from 30 years earlier.

[@DIEGOSHAY]

Because they syndicated and ran over and over for decades.

[@danielleipsic7662]

Same, but the next comment was kind of right. Syndicating is different now.

[@TimothyAlexzander]

Friends is an off-brand of LivingSingle and I'm glad he didn't show it

[@cirrustate8674]

Yep. Living Single was the superior show.

[@fred1991]

​@@cirrustate8674yall onlt saying that becauzs living single is a flop and no one remembers the show anymore

[@KungFuMunkeyz]

​@@fred1991 exact same premise. Living Single came out first. Wasn't a flop it was on for multiple seasons. But Friends is Friends for a reason, it appealed to a "wider" audience lol

[@fred1991]

@@KungFuMunkeyz People still watch Friends until today but no one even remembers Living Single. So yeah, it is a flop. Even during its peak it wasn't as big as other sitcoms at the time.

[@cirrustate8674]

@@fred1991 Friends is trash. Every single one of the main characters is an awful person, and yet the show pushes them on us and tells us we're supposed to like them. Friends literally lifted the concept from Living Single and did a worse job of it. The characters on Living Single were more fleshed out, more nuanced, and therefore more interesting.

[@saranrathakrish8468]

Don’t forget family matters, fresh prince and boy meets world

[@sasaro]

I loved the first couple of seasons of Mad About You. I was in my 20's when these aired, and I thought that would be what my 30's would be like.

[@donjoe8518]

this is sad because to me sitcoms are the ultimate tv shows and should come back

[@Electronic_Boyscout]

Did anyone mention that JTT played Simba in The Lion King? DJ's boyfriend Steve was Aladin's voice in Full House.

[@happinessallthetime6744]

Can we have a follow up episode where they watch segments/ clips from these shows please

[@jordanprice6060]

As a Gen Z this both pissed me off and made me sad😂 cause they should be ashamed.

[@ChristianRamosTheKingSlater]

Living Single is dear to my 90's kid heart, show inspired Friends btw

[@baixiaolang]

"these all look the same, how am I supposed to know?" On the one hand, you're right, they do all look the same. On the other, skill issue, these were all instantly recognizable lol. I wish they would have shown clips from the show instead of just the intros though.

[@dozer11]

Exactly. The complaining made it worse. Yes, these were iconic shows. But every era has fads for intros or press photos. Why do I get the feeling some of them call The Beatles or Rolling Stones “Overrated”? They have no respect for history and no concept of the tech limitations of the past. They’re definitely stereotypical teens, but Jaxon may be an exception. He knew stuff and wasn’t disrespectful.

[@captainron1975]

Most of these react skits just make normal people feel old.

[@mral8145]

The Nanny is iconic!

[@oldsocrates]

I can understand not knowing "Dharma and Greg" and "Mad About you", but my heart sunk that none of them knew "Martin". My god man......

[@JoanRudith]

Somebody needed to tell them how Friends is an off brand shoot of Living Single!! The creators decided to make the SAME SHOW with a white cast, but put more funding more promotions and paid the actors more.

[@khanyi8512]

Thank you!

[@ThatBlackPiano]

Louder for the people in the back!

[@Lexie955]

Many know this. Every time friends is mentioned people talk about it😂😂😂

[@JoanRudith]

@@Lexie955 I only mentioned it cuz they said a show looked like an off brand version of friends and the VERY next show here was living single!!! Like, wayment!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nbrown088]

I watched Friends before Living Single but then I saw it an realized that they were similar lol

[@avalian]

The dad in Sister Sister played Venus Flytrap in WKRP in Cincinnati - with a very different look

You mean "The Lonnie Anderson Show"? 😂 My grandfather always called it that and I would correct him with "The Andy Travis Show"...

[@lablake11]

"that's Jessie." Girl, no. Fran walked so, Debby could run

[@ashesbaby266]

Also, Jessie came to the city to become an actress; the nanny job was intended to be temporary at first. Fran worked in a bridal shop and was fired-it’s even in the theme song.

[@soniadacosta9971]

[@aalcombright2996]

This was a trip down memory lane for me.

[@jeffsanders3453]

While it’s very easy to make fun of these kids not knowing the shows, we do have to remember that most kids today don’t watch TV on cable so they don’t have access to syndicated TV as much as we did (mid millennial here). I remember watching shows from the 80s and 90s during the day when it was summer and syndicated shows were on all the channels. Also Nick at Nite had all the old school schools like Happy Days, laverne and Shirley, I love Lucy, etc. With now streaming and all the programming out today, you’d have to deliberately go out of the way to watch these shows vs having them on in the background. Def makes a difference

[@ashesbaby266]

While that does make a difference, it's still not a sign of a generational issue when you consider that their parents would've watched reruns of these shows when they were growing up (especially when streaming still wasn't so prominent yet). Even now, at 40 years old, my 60 y/o mother puts on reruns of stuff like MASH, and I find myself watching it with her more often than I even did growing up. Every single one of these shows STILL remains a major part of pop culture, so there is something else at play here with these teens.

[@mistybenjamin9009]

I literally got all of them right. Also, I watched every single one of those shows at one point in the 90s.
