The 90's meant to reaffirm American television success and the massive investment in a rising genre, that of the sitcom, which has returned to shine in the same way that years ago has been overshadowed by the drama and the emergence of the dramedy that work so well in its format of 28 or 42 minutes.
But in the 90's it was different and a lot of sitcoms released and issued with success so endorsed, this article aims to look at the most successful and those who consumed most of their life cycle in the decade, have begun or completed shortly before shortly thereafter.
ABC comedy found in the goose that lays the golden eggs, but NBC was used to get all the glory in terms of critics and mass audiences, the chain Disney found success with its block of comedy on Friday nights called TGIF ( Thanks God It's Friday or as they liked to call Thank Goodness It's Funny )
The container created in the 88-89 season was a great success and enabled ABC to create plenty of comedy to its demise in the 2000, due to wear and fierce competition from CBS. Full House (1987-1995) was the first major phenomenon that could help launch sitcom family with Christian values \u200b\u200band dysfunctional families in most cases survive their sentences with large doses of humor. The next big bet was Family Matters (1989-1998) that catapulted the character of Urkel to fame with a rather weak first season and reaffirmed the commitment to African-American comedies after the unsurpassed success of Bill Cosby in the 80's. Step by Step (1991-1997) and Boy Meets World (1993-2000) issued after Family Matters also received the blessing of the public massive wanted to forget their problems on Friday night. One thing also worth noting is the success of all these crops harvested on their way through Spain and Latin America, especially the first two.
The last stronghold of success delivered entirely in the 90 was Hangin 'with Mr. Cooper (1992-1997) which opened on Tuesday in the wake of this Full House day but settled in on Friday for four seasons to die on Saturday, the ancient cemetery of American television.
If we talk about the phenomenon in the 90's with a purely family sitcom we refer, no doubt, and with permission from Home Improvement, Roseanne to (1988-1997) who delighted the audience for 222 broadcasts reaching more than 20 million average in their first seasons getting into a money maker for its 9 seasons on the air. We must not forget either of Coach (1989-1997) the last in his class, but managed to reach the round figure of 200 chapters live forever in the shadow of Roseanne, the Olsen Twins or Urkel.
In 1991 Home Improvement (1991-1999) ABC got the massive success of Tim Allen's hand and a novice with this Pamela Anderson sitcom that managed to become the most-watched broadcast of any American television in the 93-94 season, made his character the highest paid actor of the moment and continued during his 8 seasons in the top ten most viewed. Another premiere of Dinosaurs year (1991-1994) much more modest, but with features that were a breath of fresh air to the genre, for many a cross between The Flintstones and The Simpsons reneged on canned laughter and actors donned their a giant dinosaur costumes and creating a rich fictional universe that had to end after 65 chapters due to high production costs entailed.
In 93 Grace Under Fire (1993-1998) became the best season premiere, the series created by Chuck Lorre lived a complicated story behind the scenes and the relationship of the creator with the star Brett Butler was untenable, so that because of that Lorre had to resign from his post after two seasons, while Butler began to delay the shooting and make things difficult because of his addiction to painkillers fact which made the sitcom production untenable and though his rating was wonderful the ABC decided to cancel imminently. Does not this sound like something you?
Ellen (1994-1998) was a much more discreet, continued for 109 episodes narrating the life of a neurotic bookstore owner and his strange friends, and although not shine on its way if it helped launch the figure of its protagonist has become the queen of day-time midas American with permission from Oprah. The Drew Carey Show (1995-2004) was already at a time when the ABC had trouble finding new bets with solid and it was thanks to that and the decline in ratings that the network began to experience from that time so he could get to 233 episodes, and although his first 6 seasons grazed an average of 10 million followers, gathered last two barely 4 million.
Spin City (1996-2002) returned to the front page to a Michel J. Fox became the alma mater of the series but I finally had to leave after a long illness that death inevitably touched on this, as much as producers try to refloat the hiring of Heather Locklear who had just left Melrose Place or Charlie Sheen who did not quite please the public as a substitute for Fox
Dharma & Greg (1997-2002) was the last hit of 90 in the alphabet, created by Chuck Lorre after Grace Under Fire disaster remained on air for 119 episodes and started with the custom of introducing the end of each episode the so famous that Lorre Vanity been inserting cards from then on its other series.
Full House, Family Matters, Roseanne and Home Improvement ran through a rich and successful programming for the channel between 15 and 20 years back in time he did that after its cancellation, ABC enters into a crisis not could recover until late next decade. In the next special bets go over the same gender as the FOX, NBC and CBS as the neonate TheWB and UPN.
