Remembering When: The Top 25 Sitcoms for 80s and 90s Kids

If you were like me and you grew up in both the ‘80s and ‘90s, then you were able to appreciate the joy of watching a large variety of sitcoms from the coming of age, to the very funny shows with cheesy messages, or even to some of the early ‘80s ones constantly playing in syndication which made for great TV watching in the middle of the night when you were bored!

Today, the sitcom has almost become a dying art form. Sure, there are still funny comedy shows out there like How I Met Your Mother, but all of these newer sitcoms just aren’t the same. If you were lucky enough to grow up as a ‘90s kid, then you were able to live through the golden age of sitcoms where half-hour shows were actually magical. In fact, it wasn’t uncommon to learn many life lessons and values from a sitcom. I know you’ve seen all those Mr. Feeny memes on Pinterest! Personally, I prefer these cheesy family comedies or bewitching coming of age stories to the raunchy or shallow ones often seen now.

So for today’s list, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at the Top 25 sitcoms for the ‘80s and ‘90s kids (so this is mostly kid and teen-based selections) when TV Shows helped raise a generation…
