As society gets increasingly challenging for millenials, 90s nostalgia has been at an all-time high; with the resurgence of pop culture, fashion, and aesthetics of that era. If you’re looking to relive the 90s, here are some great sitcoms that you should watch (or rewatch).
1. Sister, Sister (1994 – 1999)
Tia and Tamera are twins who were separated at birth, with each being adopted by a different parent. One day, the teens have a chance encounter while shopping at a clothing store in the mall.
After the families meet, Tamera’s adoptive father reluctantly allows Tia and her mother to move into his home so the girls can be together.
But just because they’re twins doesn’t mean Tia and Tamera are identical in any way other than looks; Tia is intelligent and from inner-city Detroit while Tamera is the boy-crazy twin from the suburbs.
2. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990 – 1996)
Will Smith more or less plays himself in one of the best 90s sitcoms ever made. As the show’s popular theme song explains, fictional Will’s mom sends him away from his rough Philadelphia neighborhood to live with wealthy Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian in Bel-Air.
Will often has fun at the expense of stuck-up cousins Carlton and Hilary; but what strikes the cord most is the strength and beauty of familia bonds.
