What 90s sitcoms have aged the best?


Seinfeld to me has a timeless feel.

Friends looks incredibly dated.

Roseanne is dated but the humor is still pretty good.

Everyone Loves Raymond? So dated feeling.

How is Friends dated, except for the fashion?

I think most of the famous 90s sitcoms are still very watchable.

Seinfeld and Fresh Prince for sure

Seinfeld, to me, is funnier than ever. I guess because so few comedies are funny today.

Friends? I still enjoy the middle seasons but the first season is still too cute. After season 5, the series is tired and unfunny.

Newsradio is still hilarious. I love Phil Hartman and a very good cast overall, clever writing.

Ned and Stacey is a favorite of mine, even though it lasted just two seasons.

Roseanne? I never watched it.

Everybody Loves Raymond? I never watched it.

The Simpsons was at its best in the 90s. I haven't watched a new episode in probably 15 years so I can't say how good it is. I lost interest. I still return to the early seasons, though.

I’d have to agree with The Simpsons.

Vicar of Dibley and Keeping up Appearances also come to mind.

Personally I’ve never understood the appeal of shows like Everybody Loves Raymond, never really got the appeal of Fraser either.

Both are equally bland and boring and the sort of shows Channel 4/E4 would use to fill airtime when most people are either going to work or sleeping.

Seinfeld is the only one I really care about. "Dated" doesn't bother me at all, as long as the material is good. The problem is: I didn't think any of the sitcoms from the '90s were particularly good even when they were originally on the air, except for Seinfeld. Shows like Friends, Roseanne, Everybody Loves Raymond, Home Improvement, etc., were okay at best. I only watched them when I had nothing better to do.

Even with Seinfeld, I didn't think it was a show that would interest me when it first came on the air, because Kramer seemed like an annoying "wild and crazy guy" trope, so I never bothered to watch a whole episode. If I was flipping through the channels and it was on, I'd just keep going. A few years later I was hanging out at a friend's house a lot and he watched Seinfeld whenever it was on, so I ended up watching a few whole episodes, and it quickly became my favorite sitcom.

There were other sitcoms I liked that weren't strictly '90s shows (they started in the '80s and finished in the '90s), like Cheers and Married... with Children. Also, if Beavis and Butt-head counts as a sitcom, I loved, and still love, that show.
