In 2013, the New Museum in New York presented NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, which filled the museum’s entire building with art from the year of Bill Clinton’s inauguration. They’ve been coming thick and fast, these ‘what were the ‘90s?’ surveys. But what was once new must inevitably turn old, and historically minded curators are beginning to turn their gaze to the 1990s: a decade that feels like only yesterday and yet like ancient history all at the same time. If you're a ready for a real throwback, we take a walk down memory lane with a look back at some of the 90s best comedies, dramas, kids' shows and rom-coms.How long does it take for the present to become history? Once our museums and universities were guardians of the past, but now they seem ever more concerned with the here and now. Then there are the classics that will never cease to make us laugh - Mr Bean, Father Ted and Keeping Up Appearances - what a decade it was!
#Best 90s nostalgia series
Whilst we still mourn the loss of SMTV:LIVE, there are plenty of other 90s TV shows making a comeback including the cult British comedy TV show, Cold Feet, and Sabrina The Teenage Witch, which has had a spooky makeover with former GLAMOUR cover star Kiernan Shipka taking the wand in the Netflix TV show now in its third series on Netflix, as well as the entire Vicar of Dibley series that's recently landed on Netflix too.īack in 1993, Nickelodeon landed in the UK and we suddenly had a whole host of American kids' and tween shows at our disposal - from Sister Sister, to Clarissa Explains It All, Are You Afraid of the Dark and Sweet Valley High. That was the only time." Alexa, play Millennium by Robbie Williams. We were in Newcastle, so we drove down through the night and went live on air, slightly worse for wear. Sundays were a write off," Dec the lad told GLAMOUR.īut as Ant revealed, "We never drank on a Friday night! One year we did, that was the millennium.
"We used to go straight out from the show on a Saturday, so Saturday was a sesh. We could just mess about!"īut as adults, you may have wondered how they navigated the hangovers every single Saturday - especially seems as the 90s were all about a good party. I remember Phillip Schofield saying to us, just before we started SMTV: Live on Saturday mornings because he used to do it, ‘it will be the best fun you will ever have on telly.’ You know what the innocence and freedom we got on that show you don’t get anywhere else. Well, that is exactly what we did every single Saturday as we waited to see Ant and Dec with Cat Deeley on SMTV: LIVE! Speaking to GLAMOUR earlier this year, Ant shared how much the show meant to them. Can you imagine having to wait ONE WHOLE WEEK for a new episode of your favourite show? Storytelling needed to be dramatic and engaging to inspire viewers to tune in the following week. Unlike today's era of binge-watching Netflix and ongoing reality TV shows like TOWIE and Love Island, the 90s was the era of ‘the episode’. The 90s delivered the entertainment in spades. From iconic hilarious comedies like Friends to heart-wrenching dramas like Dawson’s Creek not to mention the non-stop addictive after-schools shows like The Worst Witch (oh hiii Felicity Jones!), Bernard's Watch (man, how much we wanted this to actually exist) and The Secret World of Alex Mack. At the time, more series were popping up than ever before, and ratings were rocketing. Scrunchies, brown lipstick, The Olsen Twins, Clueless, Britney and Justin's romance: The 90's were defined by some truly iconic moments that make us more nostalgic than ever.īut lets' face it, nothing beats TV shows in the 90s.
