Tv Shows of the 90s

Let's take a little trip down our tv history memory paths and remember the greats of the 90s

** The first one that comes to mind is Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman

This show was about a woman who decides to move her children to a small western community called Colorado Springs. It is there that she faces the challenges of practicing medicine in what the townspeople see as a male dominated profession and also where she falls in love with an indian called Sully. The show had a big cowboys and indians vibe and despite the plot sounding strange, it was one of my favourites. Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman ran for a total of six seasons and was shown in over 100 countries worldwide.

The main characters included:

Dr Michaela Quinn, Bryon Sully, Matthew Cooper, Colleen Cooper, Brian Cooper

** The second that pops into my head is Rescue 911

This show was about the calls people in real life crisis situations made to 911. The calls ranged from a person stuck in a car after an accident, to a child having to call 911 after his mother collapsed at home to a person stuck inside while his house was being robbed. Each episode showed a dramatisation of the crisis, then how the person or people called 911, and lastly how the rescue occured. Today there are alot of shows that are similar to this one, but Rescue 911 was the first of its kind which made the drama, suspence and the resemblance to reality intriguing to watch.

** Another popular tv show of the 90s was the comedy The Nanny

The most I remember about this show is that the Nanny goes to work for a rich family consisting of a single father and three teenage children. Her character had an incredibly loud squeeky voice and alot of fun energy that somehow made this show worthy of watching every week. I think, if i am remembering right, somewhere along the way the nanny and the father fell in love and the children started to look at the nanny as a mother figure. This show had alot of charm and alot of laughs, and with a character as quirky as The Nanny, it was easy to enjoy.

Other tv shows from the 90s that I can remember watching are:

** Mad About You (Comedy)

** Dark Angel (Action/Drama/Sci fi)

** Step by Step (Comedy)

** Popular (Teen Drama)
